“FBI and Justice Department officials have told congressional investigators in recent days that they have not been able to verify or corroborate the substantive allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign outlined in the Trump dossier.”
FBI has not verified Trump dossier
Fake News from the Washington Examiner!
Here are the three key facts from the notorious Steele Dossier that Robert Mueller just confirmed
Milbank points out that
Mueller’s findings echo the dossier’s allegation that Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen had an “ongoing secret liaison relationship” with the Kremlin, including working to build a Trump Tower in Moscow into the middle of 2016 and lying about it.
But it’s not just that, Milbank writes.
“The new revelations about Cohen also show that
the dossier correctly identified Putin lieutenants Dmitry Peskov and Sergei Ivanov as the ones managing the Trump campaign for the Russian government,” he says.
Peskov, who is now the Press Secretary for Russianb dictator Vladimir Putin, has only recently admitted to his deep ties to Cohen.
The dossier said that in August 2016 Peskov was “scared sh*tless” about the hacking of the DNC being exposed and blamed on him.
