Commentary, newsmaker interviews and panel discussions. Laws that have been violated here. Not only did comey and his confederates use what they knew was a fact document, the dossier, it was being pushed by the overs, and Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson, they knew it was phony but they used it any way as an excuse to try to destroy trump, damage his candidacy, remove him from office after elected. In so doing they violated fbi regulations and importantly they perpetrated a fraud on the fisa court. Thats abuse of power, which is a felony. Its also perjury, because they swore for the veracity of the document when they presented if to the court and coverup since then is Obstruction Of Justice. There are a variety of crimes. I lay them all out in the book. You do it well. Sara ill go back to you. You know this christopher ste e steele, who is the spy who got information from russia, who got paid by hillary and the dnc in
the mueller campaign, sara makes a great point and the point is
subvert the rule of law and undermine democracy. sara do we know where christopher steele is now? is he in this country? he is in the uk, russia, where is this guy? he is in the uk according to all the sources i ve spoken with. he s not making himself very public because he s also being sued. and this is the reason why senator chuck grassly with the senate judiciary committee is adamant about getting his deposition that he gave in london here to the united states, and they re fighting for that now. go ahead. the problem, judge jeanine is here. we have christopher steele a foreign spy involved in our election, collecting information from the russians. once again if there was any collusion, the collusion was on their part with russia. there is no evidence that president trump or his campaign was involved in collusion with russia. christopher steele. did he lie? did he testify here at all? no.
wrote in october all over again. there is still no evidence today like there was in october of 2016, still no evidence of collusion after all this time. that s an important acknowledgment in the story. and i think the timeline is very important and it s written in a way that is hard to put the times in linear fashion. let s take what happened. ambassador hears conversation, doesn t report it to the fbi about from collusion. christopher steele a approaches the fbi. specialty meets the ambassador with and tells him about it and then john brennan sends an electronic communication kind of prodding the communication, get going, i think there s some collusion here too, some interference in the election. that s the origin of this case and i think when people look back the question will be was that evidence solid, was there enough reason to open a counterintelligence investigation against a sitting candidate for president based on what we now know about the quality of that evidence back and i
campaign and russians. they weren t made up and result in a guilty plea and a cooperating witness. whoops. why did they put that in their big memo? they could put anything in here, right? they didn t let anybody check it against the actual facts. they just released it on their own. why did that put that in there? oops. they did. i mean, even if you never fell for any of the new embarrassing fox news hype about this thing, even if you never expected this would be a get out of jail free card for the president and his family, you know, there is one assertion in this memo that does still stick out. it s designed to seem very worrying. there is an assertion about christopher steele himself, republicans have been telegraphing their punches on this for a long time and tried to make the dossier a scandal and christopher steele a scandal. he was the head russia guy in britain for years. they tried to make him into a scandal. because they have been trying to
of the fox news independent abo hype, there is one assertion in this memo that does still really stick out. i think it s designed to seem very worrying. it s an assertion in the memo about christopher steele himself. republicans have tried to make the dossier a scandal. they ve tried to make christopher steele a scandal. he was the head russia guy at mi-6 for years. they ve been trying to make him a dubious person. they ve turned a lot of what are supposed to be the congressional russia investigations into instead full-time efforts to impugn christopher steele and the russia dossier. because republicans have done that, we ve got pretty good public record, documents in the public domain, about the doss r dossier, about christopher steel
