The Nunes Memo

[Steely Glint]

Uh... where are you getting your info?

Steele delivered everything to Mother Jones in October of 2016. "October Surprise" month in presidential elections.

He didn't deliver 'everything' to Mother Jones in October 2016, because the dossier was still being worked on through to December (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ump-and-russia), and wasn't published by Buzzfeed until 10th January 2017. I mean, sure it started life as oppo-research on Trump but it clearly became much more than than that, or else why bother keep working on it passing information to US and British intelligence services well after the election (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-m16-kremlin)?

The Mother Jones story mentions the existence of the dossier and the general outline (Trump collusion with Moscow) but has none of the headline grabbing stuff (pee tape) that might actually have been an effective October Surprise.

No responding to anything from Fox News because it's probably, you know, wrong.

The dossier is a set of memos most of which had all been written and the pertinent details leaked to the press once with yahoo news and next with Mother Jones.

As far as the Fox News are you suggesting that the FBI didn't let Steele go? Frankly I hardly need to source that news, if you had any working knowledge of the suspect you would know that already.

And gee why would Trump's political opponents keep trying to create a cloud over the Trump administrations... gosh gee golly I just don't know. I can't believe you are that deliberately naive.

They weren't finished until December of '16, per my sources.

As I recall, it is contracted by the Fusion GPS testimony before the house intel committee - they said they broke off contact with the FBI after the story in the New York Times saying the FBI saw no link with Russia.

And gee why would Trump's political opponents keep trying to create a cloud over the Trump administrations... gosh gee golly I just don't know. I can't believe you are that deliberately naive.

And gee, why would Trump's political supporters keep trying to create a cloud over the Russia investigation... ?

No it wasn't. The existence of such a dossier was leaked (and the leak to those media sources was by the feds, not Steele's people), not the details.
