She notes Lisa Page's testimony that as of August 2016, Page had never heard of Christopher Steele, although Page had worked for five years for Steele's friend Bruce Ohr before coming to the FBI. I can't do Dyer's analysis justice, but it is a good read.Hidellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793769473549088724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608697421187043479.post-30045901593760085232019-01-14T15:59:23.719-06:002019-01-14T15:59:23.719-06:00Tx Joe.

I would add this.<br /><br />Cohen appears to have been operating more or less on his own re Trump Moscow, i.e., Trump's interest had cooled but Cohen hoped to resurrect the scheme.
