GOP.com provides us with a useful and often entertaining timeline of the events leading up to and including the Mueller investigation. Best observation, in my opinion, comes from Matt Taibbi at the Rolling Stone, “Mueller “Headed Home Without Issuing New Charges Is A Death-Blow For The Reputation Of The American News.”
On February 2, 2018, The House Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence Made Public A Committee Memo On Abuses Of The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. “The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence today made public a committee memo with information on abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.” (Press Release, “Nunes Statement On Release Of HPSCI Memo,” House Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence , 02/02/18)
The Memo Confirmed, The Discredited Christopher Steele Dossier Formed An Essential Part Of The FBI’s Original FISA Application To Surveil A Member Of The Trump Campaign, Carter Page. “The ‘dossier’ compiled by Christopher Steele (Steele dossier) on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign formed an essential part of the Carter Page FISA application. Steele was a longtime FBI source who was paid over $160,000 by the DNC and Clinton campaign, via the law firm Perkins Coie and research firm Fusion GPS, to obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.” (Press Release, “Nunes Statement On Release Of HPSCI Memo,” House Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence , 02/02/18)
