More on Christopher Steele

[George K]

The primary source of the Steele dossier was...an employee of Steele's firm.

Steele paid his "source" $5,000 a month.

Silly boy, never mind the facts!

Steele's primary sub source was a suspected Russian agent which the FBI knew about...back in 2009.

FBI knew that the sub source was unreliable, and it was being prepared by a Russian agent.

Which they never told the FISA court.

This is huge.

I just checked again. As of 3:15 CDT, still nothing at WaPo:

You'd think that, with the revelations that Steele's source was an alleged Russian spy, this would be a story.

But no.

WSJ: "All of this underscores that the great scandal of 2016 wasn’t Russian collusion. It was the unleashing of America’s premier law enforcement agency against a presidential campaign based on Russian disinformation midwifed and financed by the Clinton campaign. The public is finally getting the truth about the FBI’s malfeasance, and Messrs. Barr and Durham deserve credit for exposing it."

The Washington Post has a story this AM:

"It’s still uncertain whether Durham will issue any findings before Election Day, but the two releases may serve a similar purpose: providing fresh ammunition for conservatives’ arguments that the FBI’s pursuit of the president was unfair and unfounded."

and

"Republicans quickly seized on the details of the FBI’s old suspicions of Danchenko."

At least the Republicans didn't pounce.

The New York Times is still silent, as is MSNBC.
