Christopher Steele’s Russian dossier source was investigated as a ‘national security threat’ in 2009

It has been awhile since we have heard anything about the Russian dossier and the investigation into the origins of the Russian investigation, but now we are learning that the main source for the now discredited work of fiction was investigated by the FBI way back in 2009 for allegedly being a Russian spy and a “national security threat.” Here is more on this bombshell news:

The primary source for Christopher Steele’s phony Russian dossier was actually investigated by the FBI during the early Obama years for being a “national security threat” and a “Russian spy” who reportedly offered to pay Obama-connected people for ‘classified information’ if they got jobs in the administration. And the FBI knew all of this in 2016 and still used the dossier to get a FISA investigation

Kimberly Strassel, whose Tweets you can read following the link above, tries to unweave the FBI’s web in a Tweet thusly:

The same FBI said to be concerned about Russian interference in election, was using information from a suspected Russian spy to probe a presidential campaign. The same FBI claiming Carter Page a Russian agent, was making that case based on info from a suspected Russia agent.

And of course the FBI withheld this little bit of information from the FISA court when it was seeking a warrant for said spying. You would think that at some point somebody would have the be held accountable, but then again we remember the IRS targeting scandal and Lois Lerner and we realize that nothing is ever going to come from this because the end justifies the means.
