It's turned into a complete political farce by the Whitehouse to distract from the Russia probe.
It's not going to work.
Wish in one hand...
But the most important question about the dossier is the simplest: Is it true?
In a seven-hour interview with the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe repeatedly declined to answer whether the bureau has been able to verify the substantive allegations in the dossier, or even to identify a substantive allegation that has been corroborated, according to sources familiar with the questioning.
McCabe was asked to point to anything in the dossier that he knew to be true. McCabe noted that the dossier said, accurately, that the unpaid, low-level Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page visited Moscow in July 2016.
McCabe's questioners were not impressed. Page's Moscow trip was reported in the press at the time it happened; the simple fact that he was in Russia was not a revelation. Lawmakers reminded McCabe that Page's presence in Moscow was long established
and then asked again: Was there anything more in the dossier that McCabe now knows to be true? McCabe, according to sources, said he did not know how to answer the question.
On a number of occasions, when asked about what in the dossier had been corroborated by the FBI, McCabe gave answers such as — these are not precise quotes — I can't answer that, or I don't know how to answer that. Indeed, that was McCabe's answer when he was asked for the most important piece of information in the dossier that the FBI had been able to verify.
Christopher Steele, the former British spy who fueled an ongoing investigation into President Trump’s administration, was a lot more confident of his charges when he wrote his now-notorious 2016 dossier than he is today in defending it in a libel lawsuit.
While Mr. Steele stated matter-of-factly in his dossier that collusion between Mr. Trump and the Russian government took place, he called it only “possible” months later in court filings. While he confidently referred to “trusted” sources inside the Kremlin, in court he referred to the dossier’s “limited intelligence.”
Mr. Steele bragged to Mother Jones magazine that he started the Mueller investigation by convincing FBI agents that summer about the credibility of his dossier.

1. "Rep Steve Smith" is a parody account not an actual member of Congress.
2. Truthfeed News is fake af so why not just link to Fox?
3. The "Exclusive Letter" that is being claimed as "proof" is just Nunes restating the narrative he's pushing as a "concern" in a letter to Rosenstein which he then clearly leaked to Fox News. There's no proof of anything so your title is completely false and your commentary is wishful thinking wrapped up in fake news.

I completely agree... Now that Democrats are quickly backing away from the Russia collusion bs because it blew up in their faces they are once again back to the bs mental problem crap.
As for Q I just wish we would see something happen.

Exactly. The Dems have abandoned any hope of impeaching Trump, and are back to the the 25th Amendment nonsense.
Wolff's tabloid trash book is clearly part of this. It's an extreme long shot, because to remove Trump via the 25th amendment requires all of the following: (1) The vice president (Pence), (2) a majority of Trump's own cabinet, and (3) 2/3 of congress to certify the president is insane. It's an even higher hurdle than impeachment!

So you're saying there's hope for the Democrats.
