I don't know enough about her, but Leshchenko was a source, or do you disagree?
Let me know when Solomon's claim is corroborated.
Q And who were the sources? A I recall a -- they were mentioning someone named Serhiy Leshchenko, a Ukrainian. Q And did they give you any indication as to Leshchenko's connections with them, how they got to know him? Were they doing work for him? A With Fusion GPS? Q Correct. A I am not aware of how they -- Q Were you aware of how they had a connection with him? A I am not aware. Q But you were aware that he was a source of information that was leading to information that they had, that they were then presenting to you as reasons for following up on opposition research or what research -- A Yes. Q -- that is, on President Trump or his family? A My understanding is that some -- yes. And -- yes, it was not necessarily on his family that Leshchenko's research was on. Q Are you aware of what his research, or what his source information included?
COMMITTEE SENSITIVE COMMITTEE SENSITIVE 115A His source information, I am not aware. Q You are just aware that he was a source of -- A Yes. Q -- Glenn Simpson? Or was it a source of Mr. Berkowitz? Or both? A I am not aware of a differentiation between them. Just a source for Fusion GPS.

Doesnt change the thrust of my post at ll.
Since the first point in your chain of reason is directly contradicted by her testimony, I disagree.
Its is a matter of public record that nehlie ohr confirmed leschenko was a source.
I think so.
Do you know where the dossier came from?
Q You mentioned that, at some point, somebody from Fusion GPS told you that they were giving you a tip that was based off of a source that was a Ukrainian source, Serhiy Leshchenko. Is that right?
A Yes. That they were -- that they were giving me some information that had originated with him in some way.
Q Do you recall whether that information related to Mr. Manafort?
A What I'll say is that at the time -- at the same meeting, if I recall correctly, that his name came up, this piece of paper that lists Mr. Manafort's flights was given to me, and I'm not -- I don't recall exactly right now whether they said this particular piece of paper comes from Mr. Leshchenko or not.

You guys have smeared and slammed every single witness.
Every one is flawed and somehow prejudice against trump.
Its really amazing how many never trumpers trump put on the payroll LOL.
So now this lady is somehow prejudiced because she knows Chris Steele and read the dossier.
Yeah I am sure somewhere that makes perfect sense but not on this planet.

Is it illegal for companies like Fusion to employ foreigners for the purposes of political research?

Ukraine burned Manafort no one debates that.
Manafort was guilty.
That’s not election interference, that’s justice ... what you guys are interested in with Biden, right?

If everything in the dossier was true then I don't care. The problem is they were interested in dirt, not truth. If you publish 100 things and 90 are false and 10 are true then you can not claim you were only interested in uncovering facts.The dossier does have some true things in it, but it is not a document of truth and facts, it's a document of dirt to further an agenda that did not care if the contents were true.
If Trump went to Zelensky and said listen, I just want negative things about Biden, just give me dirt it doesn't matter if it's true or not, I would want Trump to burn too.

"Hill says she knows Christopher Steele and had met with him.
Christopher Steele is the ex-British intelligence agent who compiled the anti-Trump dossier.
Hill says today she met with him a few times before 2016, but does not remember the date."
Hill says that a colleague at the Brookings Institution had shown her a copy of the Steele dossier the day before it was published in Buzzfeed News in January 2017.
Hill previously testified in a closed-door hearing that she felt the dossier was a "rabbit hole."
She says at the time she did not know who paid for the dossier, but now says she knows, due to media reports it was Fusion GPS. She says she has read in reports that it was the DNC that helped to fund the dossier.
As we all know, the dossier was a rabbit hole. A rabbit hole that led Mueller and $40 million tax payers dollars nowhere.

The investigation started because of papadopolous.
1) The "dossier" compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application.
But Senate Judiciary Committee staff, who reviewed the FISA application separately from the House, concluded that the dossier allegations made up the "bulk" of the application. Even a Washington Post article Sunday purporting to debunk the Nunes memo in light of the FISA application conceded that the dossier played "a prominent role" in the FISA application. Finally, the Nunes memo's assertion, noted below, that former FBI number-two Andrew McCabe agreed that "no surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information," was not challenged by Democrats when the Nunes memo was made public.
