However, it needs to be pointed out to them at the time that the question was raised, that the previous administration did the very thing as the question posed to Trump.
Yet, for them, this is news. Just another dose of stupid.
NYT: Dossier not relevant to Trump foreign oppo comment because British former spy Steele was 'not working for a hostile foreign government.' So hostility, not foreignness, is key. Also because Steele 'turned over his findings to FBI.' Two points: https://t.co/zI4FNPq14s pic.twitter.com/cIepoZeAkC— Byron York (@ByronYork) June 14, 2019
1) Steele was not dossier's source. In his words, sources were: A: senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure; B: former top level Russian intelligence officer still active inside Kremlin; C: senior Russian financial official; G: senior Kremlin official. Hostile foreign government?— Byron York (@ByronYork) June 14, 2019
2) Steele's goal was to make false 'findings' public. Gave them first to Fusion GPS, who briefed Clinton lawyer, who briefed Clinton campaign. Then FBI, then press. FBI strategy brilliant because Steele could inflate dossier credibility by telling press FBI was investigating.— Byron York (@ByronYork) June 14, 2019
