"The investigation, ultimately taken over by the special counsel Robert Mueller, started in July 2016 after the FBI learned that George Papadopoulos, a former Trump aide, had been saying before it was publicly known that Russia possessed dirt on Clinton in the form of hacked emails....It was this, not the so-called “Steele dossier”, that was the trigger."
That dossier was used to support FISA warrants, and was overstated by the FBI. The rank and file in the FBI thought that dossier was crap - the persons not rejecting it were Comey and McCabe. As noted here before, Comey was manifestly incompetent, and was properly fired by Trump.
Barr is still conducting his own investigation. It will go something like this...a shameless parroting of Trump by Barr, who is himself a disgrace as AG...
“It’s (the FBI investigation into Russian meddling) a disgrace what’s happened with respect to the things that were done to our country,” Trump said at the White House. “It should never again happen to another president. It is incredible, far worse than I ever thought possible, and it’s an embarrassment to our country, it’s dishonest.”
To come...
Trump tried to get the President of Ukraine to announce that Ukraine was conducting an investigation into who may have stolen the Clinton e-mails in 2016 in order to maintain the total fiction and Big Lie that it was Ukraine that interfered in the presidential election, not Russia.
Please think about this dear readers...why would he do that?
