GPS Testimony: Dossier Contents Confirmed! Carter Page a Russian SPY!
On the accuracy of the document:
Q. So in an August 1, 2017 news briefing
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders
said "The Democrat linked firm Fusion GPS actually
took money from the Russian government while it
created the phoney dossier that's been the basis
for all of the Russia scandal fake news." What is
your response to that statement?
A. It's not true?
Q. And what in particular is not true about
it?
A. Well, it's a false allegation leveled by
William Browder before this committee and in other
places for the purpose of his advantage. She's
repeating an allegation that was aired before this
committee and in other places that we were working
for the Russian government and it's not true.
Most importantly the allegation that we were
working for the Russian government then or ever is
simply not true. I don't know what to say. It's
political rhetoric to call the dossier phoney. The
memos are field reports of real interviews that
Chris's network conducted and there's nothing
phoney about it. We can argue about what's prudent
and what's not, but it's not a fabrication.
...
Chris was, you know, a person
who delivered quality work in very appropriate
ways.
So -- I mean, I hope you won't be insulted,
but he's basically a Boy Scout. You know, he
worked for the government for a very long time. He
lives a very modest, quiet life, and, you know,
this is his specialty.
Glenn Simpson is referring to Christopher Steele of course, the man who gathered the information in the dossier.
And again, in reference to accuracy and confirmed facts in the dossier, this time using Carter Page as an example:
I remember sort of not being able to kind of
explain to people that's exactly why he would end
up as someone who they would try to co-opt. Of
course, you know, when we talk about things in the
dossier that are confirmed, this is one of the
things that I think really stands out as notable,
which is that Chris identified Carter Page as
someone who had -- seemed to be in the middle of
the campaign, between the Trump campaign and the
Kremlin, and he later turned out to be an espionage
suspect who was, in fact, someone that the FBI had
been investigating for years.
