Deputy AG Won’t Say Whether The FBI Paid For Dossier

To me this is sounding more and more fishy all the time.

“Did the FBI pay for the dossier?” DeSantis asked.

“I’m not in a position to answer that question,” Rosenstein responded.

“Do you know the answer to the question?” the Republican DeSantis followed up.

“I believe I know the answer, but the Intelligence Committee is the appropriate committee…” Rosenstein began.

It seems to me that this is a yes or no question.

If the FBI didn't pay for the dossier he would have answered the question.

The fact that he wouldn't answer the question makes it seem as if the FBI had a hand in paying for the dossier.

If the FBI did in fact pay for the dossier in part or in full they should not be investigating this issue.

The Muller investigation has no credibility. here

It makes one wonder if the dossier was the insurance policy that Peter Strzok was referring to.

yeah, i think they did

It seems to me that you don't understand the meaning of ongoing investigation in the context of public testimony.

I can't see how a "no" answer would have elicited the answer Rothstein gave.

It's probably a yes and that is looking bad......

And no one has more right to know what is happening to the government we created than the public.

This is a public institution and should be subject to immediate release of all of the information.

Do you know WHY this all sucks, too? They only have to cite an intelligence committee request and bam, no info for us.

It's MY GOVERNMENT, goddammit. I have a right to know if these men and women we elect and ABC wings are legit.

Where is my redress as a citizen? Yours?

I disagree. I think that releasing information can interfere with an ongoing investigation. Doing so can allow witnesses (and others) to "adjust" their testimony, change their story.

Short answer: "YES" The FBI paid Christopher Steele to produce the dossier.

I know.

It just goes to show that the real Russian collusion came from the DNC, Clinton, and sadly the FBI.

They are more likely to be worried about self incrimination and public opinion.

a reply to: Diisenchanted

Yeah.
We need an special investigator to investigate the special investigator who is investigating the special investigator who is investigating the special investigator.

Then we will get the expected results. And if the results are anything other than expected, the results are lies.

Therein lies the problem, it sucks to have zero confidence in the justice department.

Yes, and not to mention, that the FB f**king I shouldn't have a hand in paying for the dossier in the first place! What more do we need to get these crooks out of our government and institutions?!

Yeah, and the way these guys are doing it now is working out so well, right?

Is it? Do you have preconceptions on how the investigation(s) should turn out?

Let's face it, whether you believe the contents of the dossier are true or false is irrelevant, it was created by colluding with a foreign government the Russians, for the purpose of effecting our Presidential election.
All parties who used it are guilty. Any persons serving in the US government would be guilty of collusion who had a hand in paying for or using the contents of the dossier, like McCain, any other Senators who conspired with McCain, any federal agencies agents from FBI, DOJ, CIA, any Obama administration employees etc.

No that is not the case.

Are you suggesting that there is no need to make sure that this investigation is being ran in an impartial fashion?

Nevermind we have high ranking members texting they hate trump and need an insurance policy against him winning, this same person being in charge of interviews where trumps team got charged with lying but Hillary's team was not charged with lying when they clearly did, members that were lawyers for Hillary's team, leaks coming from the investigation to hurt trump, and stonewalling congressional oversight committees.

You think none of that needs investigating?

Don't forget A.G. Loretta Lynch. Actually, I wish Jeff Sessions would emulate her gusto and drive.

Huh. Interesting. Last I heard, collusion isn't a crime.

And it doesn't matter if anything in the dossier is factual. Got it, thanks.
