Christopher Steele interview with DOJ 'will be a car wreck,' ex-intel officer Philip Mudd says
2019-06-06
[Washington Examiner] A former intelligence official predicted British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s intention to meet with Justice Department investigators "will be a car wreck" and a "hot mess."

Philip Mudd, a counterterrorism analyst for CNN and critic of President Trump, said on Tuesday he was confident Steele would have to tell the U.S. officials "no" if asked whether he could verify parts of his dossier that contained salacious claims about Trump's ties to Russia. That "no" would be disastrous for Steele in an interview with U.S. officials, Mudd claimed.

Attorney General William Barr declared his intention to look into the origins of the Russia investigation and examine how the DOJ and FBI conducted themselves. Trump recently gave Barr full declassification authority to aid in this inquiry, and he selected U.S. Attorney John Durham to serve as his right-hand man in the investigation. DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz launched his own investigation into allegations of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse a year ago.

An article this week from the Times in the United Kingdom said Steele was open to meeting with U.S. investigators and strongly indicated that Steele would speak with Horowitz’s team rather than Barr and Durham.

In a segment with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Tuesday, Mudd condemned Steele’s decision, warning that "if you go to car races looking for car wrecks, this is significant" and predicted that "this will be a car wreck."
