The infamous anti-Trump Democratic spy, Christopher Steele, says he won’t cooperate with Barr’s investigation into the origins of the Russia Probe:
REUTERS – The former British spy who produced a dossier describing alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia will not cooperate with a prosecutor assigned by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to review how the investigations of Trump and his 2016 election campaign began, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Christopher Steele, a former Russia expert for the British spy agency MI6, will not answer questions from prosecutor John Durham, named by Barr to examine the origins of the investigations into Trump and his campaign team, said the source close to Steele’s London-based private investigation firm, Orbis Business Intelligence.
Trump has given Barr broad authority to declassify intelligence materials related to the investigations. Last week Trump ordered the heads of U.S. spy and law enforcement agencies to cooperate with Durham.
Of course. This guy doesn’t want to aid in discovering the truth of what really happened because he’s at the center of it.
But his unwillingness to cooperate is selective:
The source close to Steele’s company said Steele would not cooperate with Durham’s probe but might cooperate with a parallel inquiry by the Justice Department’s Inspector General into how U.S. law enforcement agencies handled pre-election investigations into both Trump and Clinton.
Steele also cooperated with Mueller’s investigative team, voluntarily submitting to two interviews in September 2017. He also gave written testimony to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018, the source said.
If I were a betting man I’d put money on the theory that top Democrats told Steele not to cooperate in order that when the findings are finally released, they can cast aspersions on them.
You know they are already planning for it, especially those who know what really happened.
