Mueller's indictment just put two more nails in the coffin of the Steele dossier's credibility:
1. Aleksej Gubarev - supposedly helped hack DNC
Not indicted
2. Michael Cohen - supposedly went to Europe to "pay off" hackers
Russian intelligence officers need paying off?

There is no one size fits all answer to that question. Interviewing the subject or his friends/co-workers, tracing the info back to source, surveillance of different sorts, etc
-
Okay. So if you suspect the guy has used past interviews to alert the adversary, and you've done some work w/friends/co-workers, then you're at surveillance, right? Reasonable?
-
I was not aware they thought Page had "alerted" anyone. Before you jump to surveillance of a presidential campaign which is what a FISA on Page provided w the hops, you might have considered warning Trump when he hired him in March or April
-
That has been my problem all along. Out of the chute, they have seemingly treated POTUS with suspicion. When Page was hired in March, there was no Russian conspiracy in the air, other than that being plotted by Podesta as a campaign smear. Trump w/h/b given a defensive briefing
-
Well, there was Page. And they did nothing about him for another 6 months, after he had left the campaign bc his public activities had raised widespread concern. And there was Manafort.
-
The record ALSO shows that they were very very conservative even in that time frame, not using techniques they'd normally use (and did use on other parts of the investigation).
-
Also, wrt defensive briefings? TRump got one of the strongest warnings about Flynn possible. Trump still made him National Security Advisor.
-
General Flynn was a threat to Obama. He knows things the permanent political class would prefer to keep quiet AND he wanted to change or policy direction in Mid East. Obama fired him because they disagreed on these things Ya know, like Syria?
