Comey defends Trump-Russia investigation as he testifies before Senate panel

Former FBI director James Comey appears via video remote at a hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, in Washington, on Sept. 30, 2020.Republicans lawmakers on Wednesday confronted former FBI director James Comey about his oversight of the Trump-Russia investigation during a politically charged hearing that focused attention on problems with a probe that have becoming a rallying cry for supporters of President Donald Trump.

The FBI nonetheless relied on that document “over and over and over” again even though it was “fundamentally unsound,” said the Judiciary Committee chairman, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, a loyal Trump ally facing a tough re-election battle of South Carolina. Democrats lamented the backward-looking nature of the hearing, seeking to make the case that the Russia investigation was valid and that the committee’s time could be better spent on other matters.

The FBI, for instance, did not reveal to the surveillance court that a key source for the former British spy who compiled the dossier, Christopher Steele, had disavowed in an interview with the FBI information that was attributed to him. The FBI also had investigated the same source years earlier over suspected links to Russian intelligence, according to newly released documents. A former FBI lawyer pleaded guilty as part of U.S.

But Ratcliffe added that American intelligence agencies do “not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.”

Ah, I forgot that left wing 'conspiracy theories' don't get censored.
