So Steele, after he was HIRED as a CHS by the FBI, & **proffered** the FBI the claims **he said** came from his chief source, & the FBI used those claims in the Carter Page warrant...claimed to the DOJ IG's office he had METICULOUS RECORDS detailing his contacts with this source.
AND HE WAS LYING. https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/1253469059443822593?s=20
December was just over four months ago.
Steele had his lawyers do BIG PUSHBACK against Horowitz's FISA Abuse report, claiming he kept RECORDS, very DETAILED records proving what this source passed on to him! https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/1253469060941189121?s=20

Remember what Horowitz revealed in that report: Steele's source told the FBI he **disavowed** the Carter Page allegations. Steele claimed those allegations came from the source & the source **denied** this.
When Horowitz made this fact PUBLIC with the release of the FISA Abuse report on Dec. 9, that Steele's source had disavowed the warrant allegations, Steele shot back through his lawyers that he had DETAILED RECORDS proving what the source told him.
He tried to BLUFF.
He tried to BLUFF.
Steele tried to BLUFF his way out of this and he got called and now he has to lay his cards on the table and he has nothing.
He's busted.
He's busted.
Remember, Steele was ***paid** to be an FBI Confidential Human Source.
The FBI **VOUCHED this information coming from Steele to the FISA Court. They claimed Steele was an impeccable source, absolutely trustworthy, his word was GOLD.
The FBI **VOUCHED this information coming from Steele to the FISA Court. They claimed Steele was an impeccable source, absolutely trustworthy, his word was GOLD.
The FBI **pays** Steele for this information that **supposedly** came from a key Russian source. They put this information in a warrant, they vouch for this to the Court, the Court grants the warrant, the spying happens.
AND THE ENTIRE THING WAS A FRAUD.
AND THE ENTIRE THING WAS A FRAUD.
Here's the thing I want you to focus on.
Bear down here.
Concentrate:
Steele was **PAID** for this information. Currency changed hands.

And when Horowitz revealed the source disavowed the warrant claims Steele passed on to the FBI as a **paid** informant, Steele got all huffy and **INSISTED** through this lawyers he had proof the source told him all this Carter Page/Trump/Russia stuff.
Do you realize what this means?
The source disavowed.
Steele is now found to have been LYING AGAIN last December when he had his lawyers claim to the IG he had proof.
He committed FRAUD here. He **defrauded** the government. He took their money & passed them fake info.

He committed FRAUD here. He **defrauded** the government. He took their money & passed them fake info.
The fake info they paid him to provide was then used in a surveillance warrant and then an American citizen, one Carter W. Page, ended up becoming the victim of a CRIME due to this act of fraud.
Steele literally has no defense at this point.
Steele literally has no defense at this point.
The fact Steele took MONEY from the FBI in exchange for his services as an informant while he was passing the agency this 100% fake information about Trump/Page/Russia has always been looked at from the WRONG ANGLE.
Start looking at it as a CRIME.
An act of deliberate FRAUD.

He **claimed** to the FBI **while they were paying him real money** that this information they would be using for law enforcement & counterintelligence surveillance purposes, was coming from a PARTICULAR PERSON. A very well connected Russian person.
And it wasn't TRUE.
And it wasn't TRUE.
Remember why Horowitz referred THE ENTIRE FBI LEADERSHIP to the AG.
They waited until a WEEK AFTER they’d used Steele’s fake info in that initial warrant to fire Steele as a CHS (Nov 2016) & only IN JANUARY 2017 did they finally interview Steele’s source themselves.

Remember why the Crossfire Hurricane team finally gets around to interviewing Steele's source for the warrant allegations in late January:
The DOJ is now under NEW MANAGEMENT. The Crossfire Hurricane team was TOLD to go do this as part of the warrant renewal process.
The DOJ is now under NEW MANAGEMENT. The Crossfire Hurricane team was TOLD to go do this as part of the warrant renewal process.
So the agents go and track down the source, get his disavowal on the record and then...HIDE THIS INTERVIEW from the Court during THREE subsequent renewals of the warrant.
You bet your ASS Horowitz referred the entire FBI chain of command during this period for investigation.

STEELE has no defense.
The Crossfire Hurricane team has no defense.
Comey & McCabe have no defense.
That's the beauty of this thing.
There's NO DEFENSE they could mount in court.
All the actual **evidence** goes against them.

So here's the latest development tonight as we wait for Durmham and his team of US Attorney's to finish their multiple criminal investigations:
Steele got CAUGHT trying to bluff IG Horowitz's office.
He's now wishing he hadn't tried that.
/end
