      And more specifically, they did ask whether it was true that Steele didn't share w/journos. (Steele's subsequent declaration backed off this point, admitting he had briefed journos)pic.twitter.com/pewBaDqlxf

      This is how Simpson's testimony stops short of confirming what Steele said in his UK dossiers. Me on why it mattered. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/09/03/on-the-lawfare-surrounding-the-steele-dossier/ …pic.twitter.com/jl6ZvvSZa4

      Simpson believes FBI reimbursed Steele for expenses to Rome (which I've been saying best explained conflicting stories).pic.twitter.com/H2YFtWoQmB

      I get everyone's complaint abt the Oct 31 NYT article. But I'm frankly surprised that Steele wouldn't have considered whether FBI was trying to avoid endangering sources and methods.pic.twitter.com/PSnIRQH0WY

      Here Simpson points to other, non-public info abt Page's business deals as proof he has been compromised. Those are the ones that would be more useful to see.pic.twitter.com/3PFwZLqZTF

          One of my favorite moments: GOPer asks Simpson why he didn't have anything nice to say abt Trump and Simpson is like, he's a shitty businessman. No further questions from GOPer.pic.twitter.com/H4t0GKx5l7

          Is this the first specific information on the substance of Manafort's notes? I don't recall seeing this elsewhere, except the reporting on the "sponsors of RNC" reference.
