STEELE RETURNS: Dossier Author Claims RUSSIA BLOCKED Mitt Romney as Sec. of State

posted by Hannity Staff - 3.05.18

The former British spy behind the Clinton-financed ‘Trump Dossier’ returned to national headlines this week, claiming in a recent interview that the Kremlin blocked the President’s impending nomination of Mitt Romney as Secretary of State ahead of his 2017 inauguration.

In a high-stakes profile published in the New Yorker, Christopher Steele baselessly asserts that a “senior Russian official” told him Putin’s regime successfully persuaded then-President Elect Donald Trump to abandon his initial choice of Romney to head the State Department; adding “the Kremlin intervened” following Romney’s harsh anti-Kremlin rhetoric during the primary process.

“The official said that he was merely relaying talk circulating in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but what he’d heard was astonishing: people were saying that the Kremlin had intervened to block Trump’s initial choice for Secretary of State, Mitt Romney,” writes the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer.

“The memo said that the Kremlin, through unspecified channels, had asked Trump to appoint someone who would be prepared to lift Ukraine-related sanctions, and who would coöperate on security issues of interest to Russia, such as the conflict in Syria,” she adds.

Steele made international headlines throughout the 2016 presidential race after his document was published by online magazine Buzzfeed; compiling the thoroughly debunked ‘Trump Dossier’ on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

The document is believed to have been used by the FBI and the DOJ to secure FISA warrants against senior Trump aides ahead of the US general election.

ADAM’S ADMISSION: Schiff Memo ACTUALLY CONFIRMS FBI’s Misuse of ‘Trump Dossier’

posted by Hannity Staff - 2.26.18

Ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff released his highly-anticipated “rebuttal” to Rep. Devin Nunes’ bombshell FISA report over the weekend; inadvertently confirming the FBI’s use of the ‘Trump Dossier’ to obtain surveillance warrants.

According to former assistant US attorney Andrew McCarthy, Schiff’s report details the bureau’s use of Christopher Steele’s shady dossier to obtain FISA warrants against the Trump campaign, saying the Democrat “rebuttal” shows the “FBI and Justice Department heavily relied on the Steel Dossier’s uncorroborated allegations.”

“You know this is true because, notwithstanding the claim that ‘only narrow use’ was made ‘of information from Steele’s sources,’ the Democrats end up acknowledging that ‘only narrow use’ actually means significant use,” writes McCarthy in the National Review.

Schiff’s memo comes weeks after Nunes released his four-page bombshell report that raised serious questions over how the DOJ used the Clinton-financed Trump dossier to obtain FISA warrants against at least one Trump associate.

Congressional leaders -such as Sen. Chuck Grassley- have vowed to get to the bottom of whether former Obama officials used the shady document to illegally spy on the Trump campaign ahead of the 2016 election.

BOMBSHELL: Clinton-Financed Russia Dossier USED TO SPY on Trump Campaign

posted by Hannity Staff - 1.11.18

The unverified dossier alleging connections between President Trump’s campaign and the Russians was used as evidence by the FBI to gain approval from a secret court to monitor members of Trump’s team, this reporter has learned.

A large portion of the evidence presented in the salacious 35-page dossier put together by former British spy Christopher Steele, has either been proven wrong or remains unsubstantiated. However, the FBI gained approval nevertheless to surveil members of Trump’s campaign and “it’s outrageous and clearly should be thoroughly investigated,” said a senior law enforcement source, with knowledge of the process.

Multiple sources told this reporter that the dossier was used along with other evidence to obtain the warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, known as FISC. The sources also stressed that there will be more information in the coming week regarding systemic “FISA abuse.”

“(The dossier) certainly played a role in obtaining the warrant,” added another senior U.S. official, with knowledge of the dossier. “Congress needs to look at the FBI officials who were handling this case and see what, if anything, was verified in the dossier. I think an important question is whether the FBI payed anything to the source for the dossier.”
