  1. Sources familiar expect that any charges would eventually have to be filed in Washington, DC given that's where Brennan's congressional testimony took place.

    Rep #GymJordan of Ohio, the ​#Republican chair of the #House #Judiciary Cmte, referred ​#Brennan to #DOJ in October, ⁠alleging he lied during a 2023 congressional testimony, in part by saying the #CIA was "not involved at all" with the #SteeleDossier. [Not a lie. The CIA wasn’t involved in its creation. It was given to them.]

  3. The dossier was referenced only briefly ​in the assessment & a summary of its allegations was attached to a classified version of the report. #Brennan has said the #CIA opposed including the #SteeleDossier in the report ​& the classified summary was only included as part of a compromise with the #FBI.

  5. Known as the #SteeleDossier after its author, fmr British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, the document was funded by Trump's political opponents & included salacious rumors about alleged links between his 2016 campaign & Moscow, which #Trump strenuously denied. [but it was just 1 document in the investigation]

  7. About the #SteeleDossier: "There have always been doubts about who funded the research and many have accused Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party, but the recent release of the Epstein files puts the spotlight on current U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. As of time of publication, Rubio has not addressed the issue. Actually, this allegation is not new and was published in the Tampa Bay Times back in 2017":

  9. Jim Jordan’s opening statement is a lie;
    Kevin McCarthy (the Speaker) was in constant communication with Trump 2:33
    Fusion GPS was first retained by GOP funder and billionaire Paul Singer, not by the DNC. After Singer’s candidate, Cruz, failed in the primaries, bested by Trump, was when Glenn brought his oppo research to the Dems in the so-called #SteeleDossier, with its many juicy and unproved allegations.

    Futhermore Comey did not use the Dossier 4:06

  11. Seems a good time to revisit/brush up on the #SteeleDossier. Wikipedia has a long, thorough entry on it. MSM/GOP (but I repeat myself) would have us believe it's been disproven and discredited. Not so ... in fact, probably the opposite. Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steele_d

    Now that the #EpsteinFiles are bubbling up, maybe more investigation should be given to the #SteeleDossier. The very document stating what #putiin has over #trump. #USPol

  14. CW: guesses about Trump

    In addition to thinking Trump is a power-loving evil genius, and that he's OK assasinating leaders of other nations and with using #NuclearWeapons, my guesses:

    He thinks he's gonna live practically for ever.
    The #PeeTapes, along with the most the rest of that stuff, were planted in the #SteeleDossier by Russia in a successful disinformation campaign. But "pee" was included as a mindfuck aimed at Trump. I suspect #1 or #2 tapes exist.

  16. Yesterday a #Federal judge barred parts of an insane illegal heavy handed and chilling childlike #DJT #ExecutiveOrder targeting exclusively employees and clients of a large influential #DC #beltway #lawfirm he doesn't like.

    Known as #PerkinsCoie , the 100+ yr old firm
    started in #Seattle and has long represented that region's top tech clients including #Amazon & #Microsoft etc, as well as many other #Fortune500 names .

    The #RWNJ #HoiPolloi anger at the firm has to do with the fact #PerkinsCoie attorneys helped commission the embarrassing and disputed #SteeleDossier that included allegations against a failed NJ casino operator turned political candidate.who became President TWICE!

    The far reaching petty #policestate and draconian #Drumpf overreach would've made it virtually impossible for #employees or any of the 1000+ #attorneys at the firm to do biz in #DC . The order barred firm partners from even speaking to #federalemployees, or to physically enter any govt #property including #courtrooms etc.

  20. #Blanche turns to Aug 2018, when #MichaelCohen decided to cooperate w/the special counsel who was investigating the Trump campaign's possible ties to #Russia.

    Cohen is asked about the infamous #SteeleDossier, a compendium of opposition research put together by various people looking to stop Trump in 2016, filled w/salacious allegations. At the time, Cohen was enraged about allegations about him that were in there, which he said were false.

  22. UK judge orders #Trump to pay $380K to man who penned infamous 'Steele Dossier'

    A judge in the U.K. has ordered former President Trump to pay $380,000 in legal fees to a firm run by the man who penned the infamous #steeledossier in 2016.

  25. #UK Court rejected #Trump's #GoldenShowers case because the claim had not been brought within 6-year limitation period.

    Trump said he had not had time to sue in UK earlier because he had been busy presidenting [& then coup'ing] in #US.

    "I did not, at any time engage in perverted sexual behavior including the hiring of prostitutes to engage in 'golden showers'" & #SteeleDossier continued "to cause me significant damage and distress" because people still believed it.

  26. #SteeleDossier is back in the news. So reminder:

    1. #Dossier was a work of human intel, not journalism or criminal investigation. Every allegation was qualified, explaining its sourcing

    2. Many allegations, e.g Trump campaign had many Russia contacts, proven true

    3. Mueller never really investigated Trump/Russia links in dossier. Eg he said Cohen never went to Prague. But he never looked at Cohen's credit cards, phone records, etc. He just took Cohen's word for it. amazon.com/Crime-Progress-Insi
