Russia Findings So Damning They Have To Hide Them From Trump

Rachel Maddow Drops A Bomb: Russia Findings So Damning They Have To Hide Them From Trump

Robert Mueller’s ongoing special counsel investigation into Donald Trump’s ties to Russia reached a new level on Thursday, with CNN reporting that Mueller’s team met with the Christopher Steele, the author of the damning Russia dossier.

As Rachel Maddow highlighted on Thursday night, a portion of the CNN report noted: “The intelligence agencies, particularly the CIA, and the FBI took Steele’s research seriously enough that they kept it out of a publicly-released January report on Russian meddling in the election in order to not divulge which parts of the dossier they had corroborated and how.”

Snip......

In other words, the intelligence community was so concerned about the sensitive information getting into Trump’s hands, that they just avoided including it in their reporting at all.

As Maddow added: “When it came time to produce their report about the Russians meddling in the election, they didn’t include the dossier in that because any classified version of that report would have to include how they knew the dossier was true.”

Investigators didn’t want that, so they kept it quiet.

he has caused so much hatred and disruption in this country, and the entire world. He is toxic. Thanks to the gop a complete lunatic is residing in the WH. Shows how little regard they have for the office of the presidency. It is hardly an honor anymore, after this assh**le.
