Word Has It The FBI Is Assessing ANOTHER Sketchy Trump-Russia Dossier

This is never going to end, is it?

According to a report from the Guardian, the FBI is examining another sketchy Trump-Russia dossier. Yes, really.

The FBI inquiry into alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 US presidential election has been given a second memo that independently set out some of the same allegations made in a dossier by Christopher Steele, the British former spy.

The second memo was written by Cody Shearer, a controversial political activist and former journalist who was close to the Clinton White House in the 1990s.

Unlike Steele, Shearer does not have a background in espionage, and his memo was initially viewed with skepticism, not least because he had shared it with select media organizations before the election.

However, the Guardian has been told the FBI investigation is still assessing details in the “Shearer memo” and is pursuing intriguing leads.

The fact that they’re still examining it suggests that they believe it MIGHT have a shred of credibility. Then again, we know how they handled the bogus Steele dossier, so who really feels comfortable trusting them at this point?

One source with knowledge of the inquiry said the fact the FBI was still working on it suggested investigators had taken an aspect of it seriously.

It raises the possibility that parts of the Steele dossier, which has been derided by Trump’s supporters, may have been corroborated by Shearer’s research, or could still be.

Really guys? REALLY? Why is the FBI even considering this?

I don’t trust this dossier either, mostly because it 1.) Was delivered by Steele and 2.) Continues the rumor that Trump hired prostitutes to do nasty things in a hotel room the Obamas stayed in which is ABSURD.

The Shearer memo was provided to the FBI in October 2016.

It was handed to them by Steele – who had been given it by an American contact – after the FBI requested the former MI6 agent provide any documents or evidence that could be useful in its investigation, according to multiple sources.

The Guardian was told Steele warned the FBI he could not vouch for the veracity of the Shearer memo, but that he was providing a copy because it corresponded with what he had separately heard from his own independent sources.

Among other things, both documents allege Donald Trump was compromised during a 2013 trip to Moscow that involved lewd acts in a five-star hotel.

The Shearer memo cites an unnamed source within Russia’s FSB, the state security service. The Guardian cannot verify any of the claims.

RedState explains exactly what’s going on here.

If this is true, it looks like Shearer took the work that Christopher Steele did for Fusion GPS, massaged it a bit, and used Steele to insert it into the same food chain that had consumed Steele’s opus magnum. They probably made it look sufficiently different that it didn’t look like a knock-off, but with enough commonality that it could “verify” parts of the Trump memo.

So here we are. Now, over a year into this investigation, we are being told that this second dossier is also in play.

This is ridiculous. All of it.
