Steele said in a witness statement that Trump’s decision to declassify his 2017 testimony to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation was “one of the most egregious breaches of intelligence rules and protocol by the US government in recent times”.
The former intelligence officer also said: “Two of the named Russian sources have not been seen or heard of since.”
His witness statement was made public on Tuesday, the day after Trump asked London’s High Court to allow his data protection lawsuit against a British private investigations firm co-founded by Steele to continue.
Mueller concluded in 2019 that there was no evidence of a criminal conspiracy between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.
That’s not what Mueller said at all. Did Bill Barr ghost write this paragraph?
Weird coming from Reuters.
Reuters also regularly regurgitates disinformation and obvious lies coming directly from the Kremlin. I guess they don’t consider truth or accuracy very important, only “reporting news”.
Steele also said in his witness statement that he believed Trump was “motivated by a personal vendetta against me and Orbis and a desire for revenge”.
He suggested Trump’s discovery of Steele’s friendship with his daughter Ivanka had damaged their relationship and also “deepened his animus towards me and is one of the reasons for his vindictive and vexatious conduct towards me and Orbis”.
Either I forgot this little tidbit or somehow missed it, but apparently the fact that Steele had a personal connection to Ivanka Trump was reported on at the time
Trump is one of the worst things to ever happen to the country. POS should be in jail.
It will never cease to amaze me the mental gymnastics his supporters will go through to justify still supporting him, despite his numerous blatant abuses of classified and sensitive information, just years after regularly chanting that his opponent should be jailed when there was no evidence she had violated any law.
So dumbass is going to lose this case too. He doesn’t know when to stop getting up, so the beatings will continue.
