Convenient. Only now that Mueller report is out are we getting stories that inform us the dossier was "loaded with dubious or exaggerated details," and that FBI knew this early on.

Comey, then-FBI Director, waited 2 months after @realDonaldTrump was elected to pay a visit & brief the President-elect. While there, he wasted his time on this golden-shower-nonsense-concocted-dossier. Could have been honest about Obama ignoring Russian interference instead. https://t.co/LqmvGs9okB

“The Mueller report ignored a wide range of abuses committed during the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign. And now, with the revelation that the Special Counsel was authorized at the outset to investigate Carter Page for allegedly colluding with Russians to hack the election, it’s clear that false allegations from the Steele dossier played a major role not only in the FISA warrant application on Page, but in the appointment of the Special Counsel as well,” the California Republican wrote in a statement.
“The biggest takeaway from the entire Russia hoax is that our nation’s counter-intelligence capabilities should never again be abused to target an administration’s political opponents,” he said. “Those who colluded in this effort — the media, Fusion GPS, Democratic Party leaders in Congress, the Clinton campaign, and partisan intelligence leaders — should apologize to the innocent people they maligned and to the American people they deceived.”
John Brennan has a lot to answer for—going before the American public for months, cloaked with CIA authority and openly suggesting he’s got secret info, and repeatedly turning in performances like this. pic.twitter.com/EziCxy9FVQ

BREAKING: Mueller Report deals another major blow to Steele dossier, FISA warrant authority & overall conclusion theory:"The investigation did not establish that [Carter] Page coordinated with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election"

BREAKING: Mueller knew he had no collusion case more than a year before the midterm elections, yet kept teasing collusion in court filings throughout the 2018 campaign. Some suggest Mueller had a more Machiavellian plan: swaying the congressional electionshttps://t.co/pA1hrclaP8

BREAKING: Buried in a footnote, Mueller Report crushes last remaining MSM "collusion" hopes centered on June 9, 2016, Trump Tower meeting involving Donald Trump Jr: "The investigation did not identify evidence connecting the events of June 9 & the GRU's hack-and-dump operation."

BREAKING: Volume 1 of Mueller report clears Trump & campaign of "collusion" in all 4 areas investigated:
1. No cooperation w Internet Research Agency
2. No cooperation w GRU
3. No cooperation w WikiLeaks
4. No cooperation in espionage activities w any "Russia-linked persons"

McClatchy really screwed the pooch peddling the Prague fable:
The Mueller report on page 139 of Volume II states that Michael Cohen never traveled to Prague during campaign to secretly meet with Russians — “Cohen had never traveled to Prague" –contradicting the Steele dossier

BREAKING: Trump lawyer Michael Cohen did not have direct line to Putin's office & had to use general press mailbox–info@prpress.gov.ru–to try to establish contact re Moscow Project. Mueller Report shows he knew this exculpatory fact, but left it out of his charging doc vs Cohen

BREAKING: Clovis told Papa-d in March 2016 email Trump campaign "should not go forward" w any meetings w Russians until meet w NATO allies Britain, France & Germany. Mueller Report shows he knew this but edited email in complaint vs Papa-d to make it sound like he had green light

So malicious for Mueller to hang out there possibility of obstruction with phrase "does not exonerate him" when he concluded no underlying crime of conspiracy.What the hell could POTUS possibly be obstructing? Mueller added this language as an impeachment bone for Dems to gnaw on

When Peter Strzok and the crazed Trump haters were fired from Mueller’s team, they were still part of Mueller’s team….
BREAKING: After IG Horowitz forced Mueller to kick politically biased Trump-hater Strzok off his investigative team, Mueller embedded FBI analysts in his office whose sole purpose was writing summaries of his investigation & reporting findings back to Strzok's C.I. team at FBI HQ
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) April 22, 2019
Internal reviews r no substitute for grand jury subpoenas. Until McCabe, Strzok & Page r compelled to testify before grand jury, we will never get to the bottom of FBI malfeasance in Clinton & Trump investigations. IG can compel only current DOJ employees to talk to investigators

BREAKING: Mueller Report reveals it could find no documentary or other evidence indicating Papadopoulos shared Mifsud's claim that Russia had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton in the form of emails with any other Trump campaign official — the alleged predicate for opening investigation

BREAKING: January 2017 emails show Clapper and Comey shared a good laugh at President Trump's expense when he asked them to publicly refute the bogus charges in the Steele dossier published shortly after they privately briefed him on them.
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) April 20, 2019
Key question Republicans must ask Mueller when he testifies: When did he first learn that the dossier he relied on was paid for by the Clinton campaign? Did he continue to use it after the Washington Post in Oct 2017 publicly revealed that its author was working for Democrats?

FLASH BACK: Mueller Report makes only passing ref to Steele dossier, as if Mueller didn't rely on it, but he used dossier as his case theory & road map for investigation, even sending FBI agents to London to debrief Steele for at least 2 days in Sept 2017 https://t.co/3GeQX64x9X

The heart of #SpyGate scandal is the Hillary-funded DOSSIER, which was used by the:
–> CIA to brief Congress
–> FBI to open P.I.
–> FBI to obtain FISAs
–> ODNI to draft ICA
–>FBI director to brief POTUS
–> Congress to open probes/hearings
–> SCO to map investigation
— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) April 22, 2019
If the ICA was based on the now-thoroughly discredited dossier (early draft had it in break-out box on page 2, according to Woodward), and the Mueller indictments of Russians for hacking and trolling were based in part on the ICA, what's that say about the Mueller indictments?
