      Yeah but "They are alarmed at how investigation is going, & worry it is being fumbled" matches other descriptions of steele

      C'mon, who with half a brain isn't worried the investigation is being fumbled?

      I'm not that worried about FBI. Obviously HPSCI is a mess but that's by design.

      But that's almost precisely the language used to describe why Steele refused to continue working w/FBI in October.

      There were 3 different stories abt why FBI didn't pay him. None made sense. All included that explanation tho.

      The function of THIS story is, again, to raise concerns abt whether FBI is doing the right thing. Same line, same function.

      Sure, maybe that's one big coinkydink. But that message sure seems to get associated w/Steele's name at every turn.

      That alleged concern of Steele's was part of the story from the get-go. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/01/spy-who-wrote-trump-russia-memos-it-was-hair-raising-stuff …

      Part of Steele's story since the dossier was released. The ORIGINAL was an effort to force FBI to ... I'm not sure what.

          Steele -- as a person -- only entered the story after the release. So of course. But if you read even the original closely...

          (Yes, I know I've tweeted that at you before. I also know you're very protective of Steele's motives.)

          Please stop asserting that. It's simply not true.

          OK. I know we disagree abt Steele. Repeatedly. We appear to still disagree. That's fair.

          I'm not even sure we disagree! I really don't know where you're getting the sense that I'm "protective" of Steele's motives...
