The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article today about a lawsuit filed by the Watchdog group<\/a>, Cause of Action<\/a> (CoA)\u00a0seeking records relating to the relationship between the FBI<\/a> and Christopher Steele, a former British spy who was the lead author of the largely debunked Trump dossier.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Via Cause of Action<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a news report<\/a>, Mr. Steele entered an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the November 2016 election to investigate then-candidate Donald Trump<\/a> while, at the same time, he was employed by an opposition research<\/a> firm to collect information for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

CoA Institute President and CEO John Vecchione: \u201cIf a former spy who was being paid to do opposition research on a U.S. presidential nominee was also on the FBI\u2019s payroll, there are serious concerns about the agency\u2019s independence. We need to better understand this financial relationship to ensure the FBI was not misusing taxpayer money to interfere in a presidential election on behalf of one of the candidates.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

On March 7, 2017, CoA Institute sent a FOIA request<\/a> to the FBI seeking access to records into whether the FBI paid money, or had plans to pay, Mr. Steele for any purpose. To date, the FBI has failed to produce any responsive records within the applicable FOIA<\/a> timeframe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The obvious questions is, “Exactly who was Mr. Steele working for–the FBI or the Clinton Campaign?”<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The amount of corruption in these government agencies is astounding. The FBI is damaged. Comey needs to go. Trump needs to gut these institutions! The Obama administration<\/a> weaponized every agency to target his political opponents. Every person involved must be prosecuted and brought to justice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It truly is time to drain the swamp!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
