#1 The usual collection of false statements from the far left.
1. The Washington Free Beacon claims its relation with Fusion GPS terminated before it hired Christopher Steele.
2. It was a high official of the FBI who stated that the FISA request re Page would not have been submitted without the Steele dossier; that is not a wacky conspiracy theory created by Nunes.
3. The only claim in the Steele dossier that has been verified is that Page gave a lecture in Moscow, which nobody has ever denied. That is not evidence of any wrongdoing.
4. There is more evidence that Obama had illicit secret relations with Putin's Russia than that Page did so. There is the open mike message to the Russian ambassador telling him to tell Putin that he would have more flexibility after the election; his supine behavior re the invasion of Ukraine; his ceding power to handle chemical atrocities in Syria to
Putin, making him the major influence on the Syrian government, and his efforts to impede US oil production. The worst one can say about Page is that was and is in favor of much of that.
5. Page had next to no influence on the Trump campaign.

#2 The Obama regime knows that unless they can take back control, their shady actions will surface. From their side of the fence, there is no other way out.

Ferrante, a former top FBI official...,is now at FTI Consulting, where he is leading the effort.
