Clinton associates were "feeding" allegations to former British spy Christopher Steele at the same time he was compiling the controversial anti-Trump dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign, according to an unclassified memo from senior Senate Republicans who recently made a criminal referral.
Those Republicans, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had asked the Justice Department in January to investigate Steele based on evidence they say suggests he lied to the FBI about his contacts with the media (a violation of 18 USC 1001) -- or the FBI misrepresented Steele’s statements.
The lawmakers are now asking the FBI for an emergency review of their criminal referral so it can be made public, with limited redactions.
Steele already is under scrutiny over the unverified Trump dossier, which a House Intelligence Committee document released last Friday alleged was at the heart of the FBI and DOJ’s request for a surveillance warrant for a Trump associate.
The memo from Grassley and Graham, which is now public for the first time, provides new insight into Steele’s circle of contacts during that time. While heavily redacted, the memo states Steele said he received information that came from "a foreign sub-source who 'is in touch with (redacted), a contact of (redacted), a friend of the Clintons, who passed it to (redacted).”
Carter Peterson
"It is troubling enough that the Clinton Campaign funded Mr. Steele's work, but that these Clinton associates were contemporaneously feeding Mr. Steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility," the senators wrote to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the Russia probe, and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
"...there is substantial evidence suggesting that Mr. Steele materially misled the FBI about a key aspect of his dossier efforts, one which bears on his credibility,” the senators wrote.
Entire sections of the memorandum were redacted by the FBI on the basis that it contained classified information, though a review of the document shows the FBI redacted references to media reporting, including a Washington Post story available on the Internet.
The senators are asking for a declassification review because much of the information was declassified by the president when the House Intelligence Committee memo was released Friday. The memo found the dossier was used to obtain a surveillance warrant on Trump campaign aide Carter Page -- and neither the FBI nor Justice Department told the national security court that it was financed by the DNC and Clinton campaign, and bureau contact with Steele was terminated over his contact with the media.
While the FBI fought the release of that memo, the senators also say the FBI’s claims “mischaracterize and misstate” the amount of classified information in the Steele referral. The senators are asking that the FBI and Justice Department “immediately review the classified referral in light of [Friday’s] declassification and provide the Committee with the declassified version by no later than February 6, 2018.”

In a heavily redacted Jan. 19 letter, Gregory A. Brower, assistant director for FBI congressional affairs, said the FBI "respects" the committee's commitment to transparency but the bureau "cannot and will not weaken its commitment" to protecting classified information because it is in the public domain.
"Public reporting about (redacted) does not affect the FBI's policy with respect to classification (redacted) nor does it diminish our obligations (redacted),” he wrote.
The House Intelligence Committee has long struggled with the FBI and Justice Department over access to Trump dossier and surveillance records. After August subpoenas were ignore, the committee threatened to hold Wray and Rosenstein in contempt of Congress before a deal was reached.
The memo detailing alleged surveillance abuse by the FBI and Justice Department was fully declassified after the committee followed a long-standing congressional rule which asks the president whether he objects to the record's release. In this case, the president exercised his powers as commander-in-chief to immediately declassify the document.

It is for real and all the stuff behind all that black ink is going to be pried out of these Rats on TV over a very long and hot summer. The Rats are going to lose eve3ry “middle of the road” voter for years and they know it which is why they are spazzing out desperately. Their advice to Trump is something they should follow. “Just relax and let us get to the bottom of this.”
Ryder Gomez
OH SHIT
So what does this mean, with regard to Nunes' memo and the Russia investigation?
Landon Fisher
Bump
Ethan Rivera
Jordan Jenkins
jesus fucking christ these people
guarantee that the redacted friend of the Clintons is Sidney Blumenthal which was why GrASSley was subpoena-ing all the emails between Blumenthal and the Clinton/DNC campaign officials.
Leo Parker
This means Trump has not colluded with Russia whatsoever, Democraps wiretapped him.
William White
Extremely likely
Liam Evans
Grassley is requesting for President Trump to declassify everything in the memo.
Parker Edwards
it means that nunes memo is just the tip of the iceberg so to say... This Grassley memo seems way more substantial because it is basically saying that Steele told a lot of people in the media that he was working on the Russia dossier and then the media started giving him rumors and Steele started adding these rumors to the dossier without verification. Oh and Steele had contacts within the Clinton state department giving him these rumors as well LMAO

Josiah Nelson
When Trump is going to arrest FBI and DOJ niggers?
What I hate most about this whole shit is that republicans have all the power needed to hold these traitors accountable, but they just keep playing games with them.
Jason Morgan
Steele was leaking the memo as he was working with the FBI AND he was collecting unsolicited intelligence for it (could be planted by the Russians, rumors from WaPo or a dream some drunk journo had the previous night.)
Christopher Rogers
increasing by day
Noah Rodriguez
Wow. And the media response will be the same “it’s nothing, move along now”. Meanwhile when the corrupt dems release their memo it’s going to be a shocking revelation that proves collusion and obstruction of justice and maybe treason and proof the trump is the anti christ *sarcasm*
What are we going to do about the corrupt mainstream media guys!?!
Jayden Sullivan
>False Statements, Concealment—18 U.S.C. § 1001
Certainly does appear to be, and checked
Jackson Wright
>is that republicans have all the power needed to hold these traitors accountable
Half of them ARE CIA niggers themselves. The only chance of them getting arrested quickly is if Trump goes full fash and declares martial law.
Lucas Jenkins
He can’t, he can only force the niggers to resign.

Liam Walker
Sure he can. Obama fucking drone-striked USA citizens.
Trump can declare national emergency and use military to capture move all related people to Gitmo and black sites in Europe. Some of them will break faster than Congress manages to call off emergency.
David Howard
its not redacted for me. you just need a Sup Forums gold account
Gavin Garcia
And the Podesta Group was just found to incorrectly lobbying for Ukraine- a country opposed to Russia.
Noah Adams

It reinforces it
Daniel Perry
Agreed
Christian Adams
Sure hope this is the way it goes.
Daniel Ross
Don’t be delusional, this will never happen.
Brandon Kelly
And how often are they proven wrong?
Mason Ramirez
At this point it’s more likely than not that Papajohnpolice is cia. Page probably isn’t
Nicholas Martinez
NOFORN means "No Foreigners", as in "No foreigners are allowed to have access to this document, even if they do have access to Top Secret information"
If I'm an Australian intelligence official I may have access to TOP SECRET information, but I can't access TOP SECRET/NOFORN information.
Josiah Stewart
Side note:
House Intelligence Committee meets this evening. Agenda was posted on Saturday at 10pm

They are voting on the minority memo release.
Ayden Howard
Clinton associates were feeding unverified information to Steele, who was then passing it off as 'intelligence'. You see nothing wrong with collecting false information an feeding it to the FBI and DOJ in order to destroy a lawfully elected President? Well, it happens to be against the law:
justice.gov
>twf cant read
Evan Brooks
It corroborates it. Dems are going to be scorched earth, soon.
Nathaniel Sullivan
So, exactly what we have known and been saying for over a year now
Dylan Nelson
When do the arrests start?
Wyatt Carter
No sources on me but I know the doj knew him since like 2011 when he won some award. And I saw a cnn article where his fiancée was interviewed and she was adamant that papa was very involved with the higher ups in the trump campaign and that he wasn’t some coffee boy
Julian Cooper
are we really shocked?
Hudson Jenkins
Things Confirmed:
>Nunes memo wasn't overstated, Steele was passing info to media outlets in clear violation of FBI rules
>Fusion told Steele to do so
>Clinton camp and sources within the US State Department were feeding him info
>Steele has been referred to the DOJ for criminal charges
Whats likely (but redacted so no way to be sure
>Cody Shearer was the contact feeding Steele from Clinton and used several gov resources to do so
Wonder how they'll spin this one. This is truly bad for dems
Isaiah Fisher
Check. Why redact shit?
Jordan Gray
It's to consider the release of executive session material, so likely moar memorandums, maybe nothing
Christian Thompson
Yes, but now, we have solid political backing by representatives in congress/senate.
Jayden Watson
Also checked
Austin Reyes
I mean, think of it this way:
Even Lindsey "Cock Gobbler" Graham is on board.
Justin Hill
Holy redactions, Batman. Day of the rope when?
Hudson Ramirez
Also, keep in mind, that any info that made it to Steele, or Fusion GPS, made it back to Hillary's people.
Thus......the FBI gave info about trump (gained by a dubious/illegal wiretap), to Hillary's campaign.
Hmm.........I wonder if that's illegal.
Evan Williams
I'm not wasting my time reading shit that's literally 2/3 redax. That's a waste of my time.
Hudson Jenkins
yeah but thats what all these memos are going to be. its also why they are all going to be considered nothing burgers.
>this memo is old news nothing burger we've known this for years
the point is that, while yes, its not been on the government record for years.
