justice department inspector michael e horowitz became aware of new evidence of a senior state department contact in mid-october 2016 with former british by an anti-trump dossier authored christopher steele. this timely matter is because days before the investigation, the fbi and justice department used the unverified research paid for by democrats in part of their case to secure the page warrant. some key witnesses wanted to talk too early in the case agreed at the 11th hour and at least one witness who does not work for the fbi or doj began cooperating after barr launched a separate and broader investigation into the fbi probe origins. fox told recent developments have required some witnesses to be reinterviewed committed to deconflict accounts. any investigation, you talk
president trump vowed to impose sanctions on iran if these american prisoners are not released immediately. jon: let us know what happens. thank you. julie: as we await a white house decision on the release of the democratic rebuttal to the fisa memo a new wall street journal opinion piece is going after the credibility of trump dossier author christopher steele. republicans accuse of f.b.i. of using unverified research by the former british spy to obtain a fisa warrant on former trump aide carter page. they write american has been unindated by the words dossier, memo, collusion, fisa, carter page. they all come back to the actions of one man, christopher steele which is why the only news that matters this week is that the former british spy s credibility has been dismantled. is a reliable and credible source one who defies f.b.i.
application for surveillance but for the dossier. whatever percentage of the dossier was based on his testimony, there would not have been surveillance issues if you didn t have the dossier. you look at somebody like bruce orr, one of the top ranking officials in the obama justice department. his wife is working for fusion gps, funded by the democratic party and hillary clinton and she s feeding him all this negative research on trump, unverified research as even james comey has admitted. he is taking that and feeding it back to the obama administration. the confluence of the democratic party, the obama administration, fusion gps, the media. shockingly they used that yahoo news article from december of 2015 as cooperation but that article was based off christopher steele leaking to the reporter. it s a circular logic that they re using there.
community. cages that no one has ever dared to rattle. remember during the campaign when trump spoke about reforming and ending the corruption of the fbi and cia? even his political nemesis sounded a warning. you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from sunday of getting back at you. so even for a practical supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he s being really dumb to do this. laura: and boy, have they worked to get back. we know the unverified research used to secure the fisa warrant to spy on americans. and the fisa judges weren t told hillary specifically funded it. then of course we know rogue fbi investigators used their powers as an insurance policy should trump actually be elected. meanwhile, some obama era intel officials responsible for so much of the deep state mischief have become the critics in chief.
