      Count the errors in this tweet... Oh, never mind. It's Mark Meadows. No one considers it legit anyway.https://twitter.com/RepMarkMeadows/status/1034622819060076549 …

      Bruce Ohr CONFIRMED in his interview today: after the FBI terminated their relationship with Chris Steele for leaking to the media, the FBI privately reengaged with him and continued receiving his info. This was after suggesting to the American public they had cut Steele off.

      Let's see : FBI did terminate relationship. He did leak to Corn (and a dozen other media). They did privately reengage. Ohr was interviewed a dozen times to get Steele's info. looks good

      They never told the American Public though. They acted like they had no connection to the Dossier. Comey said it was just "something that was out there, that the news media had, wanted to publish, but they needed a news hook" which he gave them

      Q: Is it your opinion that the USG should refuse information from someone who has been credible for years, if they get it for free?

      They should have been able to verify or debunk it by November. What do they use their budget for? How hard is it to find out if Michael Cohen went to Prague? ... oh, and wasn't the case really all about Joseph Mifsud? Why weren't they tracking him down?

          Actually, that's not what the record of his reporting to FBI said. Do you know how FBI does these things? Or just happy to make it up?

          Well, take Peter Schweizer's allegations in Clinton Cash. All from public source records, I believe. Supposedly, the FBI did investigate those claims in their investigation of the Clinton Foundation. That's the kind of info I can see the FBI taking. But Steele's info was...

          third hand hearsay. He never even talked to his supposed sources. He had "collectors" in between. So Steele's history and credibility with the FBI was really irrelevant. The FBI needed to verify the info. To my knowledge they haven't. And then when Comey briefed Trump...

          Actually, it was Trump who acted like it was tabloid gossip, & did so in a way that was reminiscent of his old routine of 'seducing' friends' wives by having them secretly listening on speakerphone; as if to get Comey to say something sympathetic in the 'locker room talk' vein.

          What? Let me ask you this : Why did Comey brief him on only the pee tape and not the parts about Manafort and Cohen? Why didn't he let him know it had been used to get A FISA?
