The other thing, by the way, they knew very early on was that Carter Page, who was such a significant figure in the Steele dossier and the whole Russian hoax, was not only not a Russian spy, but was actually a CIA asset.
And so the CIA told the FBI, you're on the wrong road here. You're going after someone who is assisting us.
All of that somehow got buried.
And what came to the surface was the Steele dossier, which was not only not verified, it had been really shredded by many people in the Intelligence Committee.
-
Laura Ingraham: Yeah. And Comey claimed that it was Papadopoulos, that poor old, poor, the hapless kid. Right.
It was then Papadopoulos, his interactions with the Russians started the whole thing.
It was long before the dossier.
But this was Comey testifying back in 2020 about this. Watch.
-
James Comey: It was done by the book.
It was appropriate.
And it was essential that it be done.
-
OK. So you're proud of it.
-
James Comey: Overall, I'm proud of the work. There's no indication. And the inspector general would say it if he found it, that people were doing bad things on purpose. But that doesn't make it any less concerning. This was an investigation that was appropriately predicated and opened that had to be opened.
-
Laura Ingraham: Jonathan, "it had to be opened." Supercilious doesn't begin to describe him.
So dismissive.
-
Jonathan Turley: No, I remember listening to that testimony and just almost falling out of my chair. I mean, virtually everything he said was untrue. In fact, the IG reports shredded the FBI and said that they didn't follow protocol, that they ignored counterintelligence, that they pushed the Steele dossier forward. And these were two of the key individuals who did that. So the question is, does any of this trick the wire to perjury? And both of these are sophisticated players. You'll notice that they're very careful in how they word this. Comey is very careful to say that there wasn't basically malicious intent, not that there weren't mistakes. And time and time again, Comey portrayed himself as ignorant of all of these countervailing sources.
-
Laura Ingraham: Well, and again, the Brennan perjury questions have been swirling about for years and years. This is like one big flashback for both of us.
Jonathan, thank you very much.
