I know that's BS, but that's why. So, what's left open is 1) accept what's on offer, 2) tell the Brits to shove it and declass everything. The problem with #2 is that we'd end up revealing what our Deep State has been up to, going all the way back to at least Dubya.

I'd particularly like to see him questioned re the September meeting which Andrew Weissmann and Zainab Ahmad attended with Steele. I always regarded that as a FISA planning meeting and that Steele was told to come back with a story about Michael Cohen in Prague--which he did in his very next "report.&mark wauckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247066866195200890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608697421187043479.post-66443558640677312902019-06-04T14:08:56.113-05:002019-06-04T14:08:56.113-05:00I suspect that Steele wants to tell how much he he...I suspect that Steele wants to tell how much he helped in previous cases -- poisonings of defectors, international soccer corruption, etc. He wants to tell his old war stories. <br /><br />Steele did not write his Dossier for "US Intelligence".

He's nothing of the sort--he's an agent, a conduit purportedly transmitting information. A source, however qualified, is someone with first-hand knowledge of evidence they've observed.
