Comey, the Steele Dossier, Reid, Corn, the NYT: WTF happened between Oct. 28 and Nov. 7, 2016
October 30: (two days after the Comey email memo) Harry Reid writes to James Comey:
“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government…The public has a right to know this information.”
A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump.
In the fourth paragraph, he writes the unidentified former spy’s work:was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project’s financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.)
Corn writes:
The former intelligence officer [whom we now know is Steele] says the response from the FBI was “shock and horror.”
A summary memo stated:
“Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years.
Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance.”
It maintained that Trump “and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals.”
It claimed that Russian intelligence had “compromised” Trump during his visits to Moscow and could “blackmail him.”
It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on “bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls.”
