As you watch this clown go on his upcoming book tour, just keep this small snippet in mind (amongst others). This guy was sitting on the knowledge that part of his investigation was based upon a dossier that he knew at that time was mostly false, and paid for by the DNC/Hillary campaigns, and yet he chose to withhold this information from Trump.

Likely so he could maintain the illusion that it was credible.

Incredible. The acting Director of the FBI at the time thought that he was empowered to not tell the President that paid opposition research against him was part of the basis for the very start of the investigation targeting his campaign.

Comey is a total schmuck.

Lol a little late on the obvious pathetic character assassination attempt.

But hey anything that makes "your team" win is what matters.

Looks like you're being the partisan here by dismissing this outrageous admission.

Color me shocked that you're here to tell us there's nothing to see. Withholding this information from the President was a great thing!
 
He knew was mostly false? When has he, or anyone involved in the actual investigations, said it was definitely mostly false?

No one has been able to verify any of it and all of the mainstream media stayed away from reporting on it, until BuzzFeed published it. I'd say that is a pretty good indication it is mostly false when even CNN and MSNBC don't run with it. If any of it were true the mob of anti-Trumpers would have verified the stories.

Comey hasn't said that "most" of it was false, but he did say this:

In his June 2017 congressional testimony, former FBI director James Comey called "some personally sensitive aspects" of the dossier "salacious and unverified," but he did not state that the entire dossier was unverified or that the salacious aspects were false.

There's the fact that the Dossier claims that a known germophobe allegedly let hookers "pee on him". There's the fact that the former UK Ambassador to Russia claimed that little in the Dossier aligned with what he knew about the Kremlin. There's the fact that the Dossier claimed Cohen was in Europe multiple times when in fact he was in California or New York during the entire duration of when those meetings supposedly took place. Columnist Bob Woodward has called the dossier "trash".
 
There’s nothing to see here. If Trump was under investigation Comey didn’t have to tell him anything.

And I don’t care who paid for the opposition research, the truth of the matter is Steele is a former MI-6 intelligence officer with over a two decades of experience and helped to recruit spies against Russia. We share everything intelligence wise with the Brits and them with us. The guy is a credible source and would be viewed as one in the CIA, FBI, etc today. NAMBLA could have funded the guys research and it still wouldn’t have made it less credible.
 
Wow, imagine thinking the dossier was lies. Like the dude who was a decorated foreign spy and took down corrupt FIFA eventually just said **** it and started making stuff up.
 
The dude ran the Russia desk for MI-6 in London from 2006-2009 and spied against Russia in Moscow under diplomatic cover for three years in the 90s.

I’d like to think he knows a little more about Russia and has a few more contacts there than some journalists at MSNBC who can’t independently verify his stuff.

We’ll never know the answers to some of this, but the intel community would absolutely view this guy as credible.

Your one source is the guy you are claiming is a liar. Wow. Circular logic much.

Not to mention how the hell does it make sense for an investigator to tell an investigatee details of an investigation.

Face it, you are the single most partisan person on here, and you just caught in another obvious partisan post.
 
lol!

The acting FBI Director fails to inform the President that he's using Oppo Research as a crux for an investigation on HIS campaign, and you guys don't blink an eye. Hilarious. The same FBI Director who is widely believed to have leaked sensitive or even classified information to media outlets to spite Trump.

There's truly nothing that can't be done to Trump that you guys won't cheerlead. Even if it's a sitting FBI Director lying and politicizing his job.
 
Steele is a loose canon who apparently played it loose with his cover, and the FBI cut ties with him around the time it came out he was fronting opposition research for Fusion GPS/Hillary Clinton. He also did not disclose that after his termination, he kept in contact with Bruce Ohr with the DOJ and his wife- an employee of Fusion GPS. And they all chatted frequently about how best to deter Trump from being President.

Steele was “suspended and then terminated” as an FBI source for what the bureau defined “as the most serious of violations” – an “unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI.”

In an Oct. 30, 2016 Mother Jones article written by David Corn, Steele leaked his involvement with the FBI.

“Steele should have been terminated for his previous undisclosed contacts with Yahoo and other outlets in September –before the Page application was submitted to the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court] FISC in October –but Steele improperly concealed from and lied to the FBI about those contacts,” the memo read.

Another item that was not included in the Page FISA warrant application was the fact that even after his termination, Steele remained in close contact with DOJ official Bruce Ohr –whose wife, Nellie Ohr, was employed by Fusion GPS, where she assisted in the compilation of materials for the dossier. That relationship with Steele and the Ohrs was “inexplicably concealed from the FISC.”

Steele told Bruce Ohr in September, 2016 that he “was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.”

Steele’s “bias,” according to the memo, was recorded by Ohr, but not reflected in the Page FISA applications.

And here it’s being reported that Steele himself severed ties with the FBI himself.

I’m content to believe we’ll never know the true story to all this because it’s been so manipulated for political gains. But I’m more inclined to believe the guys who put their lives on the line in the intel communities serving their countries, who are experts in their respective fields over politicians manipulating things and over the media who will never know the whole story because they can’t get access to the sources.

If political hacks on both side of the aisle in Congress say the same thing I'm going to believe them over a guy that lied for a living. You can stick with your confirmation bias.

This wasn't politicians manipulating anything. The FBI stated that they severed ties with the guy. The ARE the intel community.

Steele hadn't been a spy since 2009. He was a paid opposition researcher during his time in 2015-2017 and he was being paid by people who WANTED dirt on Trump. That alone opens the idea that his balance and judgement was swayed by his loyalty. This is amplified by the fact that AFTER the fact, Steele stayed in contact with Ohr and his wife (Justice / Fusion) and they frequently spoke, as recently as September 2016, about how they can't allow Trump to become President.
 
By the way, back to my main point:

I find it truly incredible that people here (maybe not surprising) really think that Comey was right to NOT inform Trump that this data was HRC paid Oppo Research on him.

Comey is a total schmuck.

I think you mean a dossier paid for by the republicans during the primaries
 
WOW! Color me shocked! Unverified supposed classified details leaked to the media by the FBI. What a new revelation!

It’s comforting to know that this very objective Special Counsel has no issue with leaking most anything to the media, if it fits the right narrative
Earlier today this was the biggest ammo against the dossier and it's authenticity. Turns out this too was accurate.

At this point it's pretty silly to doubt what's in that document.

Pretty much everything

Can I get a shred of “evidence” that isn’t leaked piece by piece from anonymous sources from a Special Counsel that is supposed to be beyond reproach in its objectivity and professionalism?

Lol of course not

You literally just created a whole thread (in a pathetic partisan attempt to distract from the real story) 100% based on the word of someone you claim is a liar.

Um that’s because it was HIS EXACT WORDS FROM HIS OWN MOUTH.

Surely you aren’t this brain dead? Oh wait ....

It's breaking news give it time.
 
If he’s not a liar, why are you disputing his own words?

I never said he wasn't.

I was merely pointing out the stupidity of the logic in trying to claim someone is both

A) a liar

And

B) the only source for a blatant whiny post while the president's personal lawyer is under criminal investigation.

So you defend his decision to not inform the President that the Dossier was an opposition research funded hit piece. Great
 
Comey said in an interview what everyone with half a brain has known all along:

Former FBI director James Comey called Donald Trump "morally unfit to be president" and said he believed it was possible the Russians were holding compromising personal information over the head of the commander in chief.

But hey, the POTUS called Comey a slimeball, and if it's one thing I've learned hanging out here it's that completely baseless personal attacks are about the only thing Trumpets have to offer in the logic and debate departments.
