Dossier isn't why Mueller probe was started

The Hill via Fox News
Fox News host Shep Smith on Wednesday fact-checked President Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani after he again claimed that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation started with the so-called Steele dossier.
In an interview on Fox News on Monday, Giuliani claimed that former CIA Director John Brennan brought the dossier to the special counsel's attention, kicking off the more than yearlong investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
"Much of Giuliani's attack on Brennan involved the dossier compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele, that the administration has repeatedly asserted was what began the Russia investigation," Smith said on Wednesday.
"It was not," Smith continued. "The Russia investigation began after the former Trump policy adviser George Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that the Russians had dirt on his then-political opponent Hillary Clinton. That information was passed on to intelligence officials."

I like how you left out the meeting with Misfud, who was a WESTERN intelligence asset, not a Russian "agent" lol.
This was before the Downer meeting. How do you think Papa-D got that info??
And Downer has said that emails were never even brought up in the conversation...just "dirt." Hmm
Ever heard of Five Eyes intelligence?

So the suggestion is that it is somehow better if it was based on completely vague and nebulous information versus fabricated info?

You sky screamers need to get your story straight. Comrade Brennan says it's because Trump told the Russians to hack Hillary.

The surveillance and special counsel investigation wasn't based on that opposition dossier, it was based on comments made by a drunk low-level staffer in a bar. That sounds WAY more credible.

was not," Smith continued. "The Russia investigation began after the former Trump policy adviser George Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that the Russians had dirt on his then-political opponent Hillary Clinton. That information was passed on to intelligence officials."
That’s the dumbest shite I’ve heard in a while. So Russians got dirt on Hillary, and you don’t investigate how they got it, just open a Special investigation on Trump. Am I taking crazy pills?

I sure don’t remember all these liberal publications doing fact checks after any of Obama’s speeches or statements
How convenient that must be
