Assesses that steele did not directly provide information to yahoo! news. steele has admitted in british court filings, pamela brand has done since. the definition grade that he met with yahoo! news and several other outlets in september 2015 at the direction of fusion gps. just one more thing. remember that senator grassley and senator graham sent a referral to the justice department on the basis that they felt that we 17 had provided and lied to federal investigators, violation of usc 2001. this republican drafted staff memo in the house lays out an argument that steele lied about his media contacts the fbi and that he was then terminated for his contact was cut off because of those media contacts. ....
The fbi will release their own document because they objected to the release of this in the first place and they said it would be extremely damaging. there has been speculation that perhaps christopher wray will lease a statement of his own clarifying what s going on here. but i think everyone will be watching rob rosenstein now because that is said to be trumps target because he wants him removed because he s the only one that can fire bob mueller. so those of the moving pieces here. lisa: but if your president from, you have every right to be deeply concerned about all of this. a democrat opposition research piece at the heart of the russian investigation as well as likely the public narrative shaped around that. meanwhile, we also have the obama administration unmasking his team s name, making it easier for the intelligence community to share information across agencies so course, president trump is deeply concerned and then he s told they james comey three separate times is not u ....
Everybody s taking notes. so what you said earlier wasn t it would appear from what you had seen, and now we all can see, fusion gps, the firm that put together that anti-trump dossier to this british by christopher steele was putting forth some sort of active campaign to brief media outlets. and do you think the media outlets, and this is really important, knew that they were part of a narrative or campaign? where they just getting the information? i don t know if we can get that from here, but yahoo! news has mentioned a couple of times, and i m just wondering did they know that they were part of this circular reporting? we will have to seek out comment from michael isikoff and yahoo! news about whether they knew at that time. circular reporting may be sound like a complicated term, maybe i can break it down a little bit more for people. when you re acting as a journalist and you get ....
That donald trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president. in the speak of his feet into the hold narrative which is the crux of this memo that he was specious information granting these memos, catherine herridge reporting that christopher steele and fusion gps briefed reporters on the contents of the dossier which she referred to as circular reporting. sources in the intelligence area have said to me that what they said is they ve been a little bit more forthright about this. a little bit more strident about it. he created a fake new story in order to sell the credibility of that dossier is being seen and ....
Brief the president began that series of now infamous memos memorializing meetings that jim comay have at the president which ultimately led to the appointment of a special counse counsel. so i don t want to connect the dots for anybody here but these are the dots that are out there and these are the thoughts that robert mueller may ultimately be connecting. but it is interesting to me that this dossier seems to be at the center of so many different things. melissa: john roberts, thank you so much for your reporting grid would bring it back out here to the couch. i know you have a lot more. howard: have read this three times. the memo by republican chairman before team does make the case that fbi officials bungled this whole national security will warrant process. i don t see anything here about fbi officials line but it does say that they omitted material and relevant information before the national security court and what we now know is christopher ....
