See, he doesn't always lie.

1/ The man who commissioned Steele's dossier—and stands by its accuracy—has now given more hours of testimony to Congress than any witness.
2/ While tying for most hours of questions with Page (10; Mueller) of any probe witness, Simpson has so far been found to have told 0 lies.
3/ All investigations—House Intel, Senate Intel, Special Counsel—are now said to be taking the dossier's allegations "extremely seriously."
4/ Bob Mueller has begun *locating Steele's clandestine sources*, and one of those sources is now *regularly providing evidence to the FBI*.
5/ The conclusion of the British press—which has researched the dossier *much* more than ours—is "many of its claims have been proven true."
6/ The Independent implies all 3 U.S. investigations concur with the conclusion that "many of [the dossier's] claims have been proven true."
7/ All 3 U.S. investigations are now *actively* seeking to have Steele travel to the United States to testify in person about his dossier.
8/ A secret trip Trump agents made to find Steele is now seen by both Dems and Mueller as an effort to intimidate Steele out of testifying.
9/ Implied in Trump using Nunes (again) to thwart the Russia probe is that Trump believes Steele's dossier and his testimony could hurt him.
10/ Those few Republicans willing to talk to Steele hope to use him to hurt *Comey*—protecting Trump from an impeachable Obstruction charge.
11/ Far from working only on retainer, Steele in fact gave his research gratis to the FBI last summer due to his concern about its contents.
12/ The Independent implies Mueller's suspicion of—and his knowledge about—Manafort's illicit activities was partly provided by the dossier.
13/ Paul Manafort *confirmed to Roger Stone* that he expects to be indicted over allegations identical to the ones made in Steele's dossier.
14/ Steele's dossier is so good—its intel so ahead of the curve—even the FBI has taken *15 months* to catch up and see its leads bear fruit.
15/ The quality of Steele's sources is now becoming known—there are reports sources "D and E" are both Belarusan businessman Sergei Millain.
16/ Sources with "inside knowledge of the Steele report" say Felix Sater—a criminal and Trump business partner—is *also* a Steele informant.
17/ Sater—who by his own admission acted as a go-between between Putin and Trump—can with some certainty sink Trump if he *is* an informant.
18/ Mueller has hired the *very same prosecutor* who *previously* turned Sater into an informant—suggesting it may well have happened again.
19/ Sater's currently "helping federal authorities" on a money laundering case that may involve Trump—linking the Trump and Manafort probes.
20/ THE INDEPENDENT: "Claims Trump was the 'Muscovian Candidate' for the presidency—raised by Mr. Steele—continue to grow and reverberate."
PS/ The only "theory" this feed ever indulges is that Steele's dossier is "at least 80% accurate." That looks to be an *understatement* now.

PS3/ Despite threats on his life and the life of his family, Steele has *never* backed down from a *single word* of his (GOP-paid) research.
PS4/ What Steele *has* said is raw intel must always be double-checked—which is exactly why he gave his work directly (for free) to the FBI.
PS5/ The FBI double-checked—and now uses Steele's sources, follows his leads to indictments, and takes his work "extremely seriously." {end}

Researchers at the bipartisan Alliance for Securing Democracy have been tracking 600 Twitter accounts they believe are tied to the Russian government or at the very least spread Russian propaganda, and of the news stories these accounts shared and promoted last week, more than 25 percent "had a primary theme of anti-Americanism," the Times reports. "What we see over and over again is that a lot of the messaging isn't about politics, a specific politician, or political parties," Laura Rosenberger, director of the Alliance for Securing Democracy, said. "It's about creating societal division, identifying divisive issues, and fanning the flames."
For example, Twitter has suspended several accounts this week believed to be linked to Russia that pushed out messages both for and against football players kneeling during the national anthem, which was viewed as an attempt to divide Americans. On Thursday, Twitter employees will meet with staffers of the Senate and House intelligence committees as part of their investigations into Russian interference in the election, and a Senate aide told the Times that Twitter, Facebook, and Google have all been invited to testify at a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Nov. 1 regarding Russian meddling.
