Well just look at your own OP. The footnote states that the Russians were aware of Steele's network. You then made the claim that this proves that the Steele dossier was disinformation. That's a lie. That's not what the footnote says. I don't need any links to support it. It's all there in your own OP.
You really aren't that bright...and are a terrible liar....
The evidence in the OP (and other official docs released and referenced / linked in the last few days, as you know since you responded to about all of them) revealed is that the FBI assessed the contents of Steele's Dossier to be
Russian Intel Service (RIS) Counter-Intelligence propaganda already flagged as being used against US Foreign Policy but that the FBI intentionally used that propaganda generated by the RIS and supplied by Steele in his Dossier in their FISA Court violations anyway.
Documented information (I believe it was US IG) identified Steele as working for / on behalf of 5 separate Russian Oligarchs while taking money from Hillary and the FBI to investigate Trump.
-- So Steele - a KNOWN untrustworthy, biased, Trump-hating foreign spy with an anti-Trump agenda - was working for / with the Russians, and they knew he was investigating Trump on behalf of the US / Obama FBI. Already engaged in 2 years of attempting to hack the US power grid, using social media to trick snowflakes into organizing and marching for them, and attempting to hack senior US officials - all thanks to Obama giving them a free hand to do s ofor 2 years, OF COURSE THE RUSSIANS WERE ALL TOO EAGER TO FEED STEELE - THE FBI'S ANTI-TRUMP INVESTIGATOR - PROPAGANDA TO TAKE BACK TO THE FBI.
The US IG Report even reports that STEELE himself told the FBI that he had no clue if any of the information was valid or not.....and after seeing what was in the report the FBI made ZERO effort to validate the info!
-- In the interview, Steele admitted he was working for Russian Oligarchs, Hillary, and Fusion GPS at the same time he was working for the FBI and said HE FELT NO OBLIGATION TO BE LOYAL, HONEST, OR OFFER UP ANY INFORMATION HE HAD THAT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH HIS OTHER EMPLOYERS!
This type of lying and dishonesty is exactly why the State Department immediately told the NSA, CIA, DOJ, and FBI - before the Dossier was used to commit FISA Court Abuses - that Steele had lied during a State Department Interview and was not to be considered trustworthy...
...but the DIS Propaganda Steele delivered in the Dossier was just so damn juicy - everything they wanted / needed...so much so that they refused to attempt to validate it, ignored the State Department's warning (outwardly / publicly 'firing' Steele but continuing to work with him and have him work with Ohr and Mueller quietly...and intentionally ended up using the KNOWN RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA in their FISA Court abuses toi get warrants to spy on Trump and his team.
ALL of the evidence has been uncovered, revealed, and laid out.
- Page testified it happened.
- Ohr Testified it happened.
- STEELE admitted it all happened.
- The FBI has admitted they engaged in FISA Court Abuses after being called before the FISA Court
- Wray was forced to admit it and provide a proposed plan for the FBI making 'fixes' and ensuring it never happened again.
- The US IG recorded / reported it; rebuked the FBI for failing to properly vet foreign sources like Steele, reported how they sat on the report - despite already having assessed it as RIS Propaganda, Steele saying he had no idea if it was true, and making no attempt to verify anything in it (BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY ASSESSED IT CONTAINED KNOWN RIS PROPAGANDA)...and still ADMITTEDLY used it to commit FISA Court Violations.
