FBI Releases Records on Christopher Steele, and SURPRISE, They're Almost Completely Redacted

Very little actual information isn't redacted. Almost nothing of the records has actually been released. Just a bunch of blank forms with even the dates extirpated.

One partly-unredacted record notes that Steele has been terminated for cause as a confidential source (on page 2), stating:

Note: Cause is defined any grievous action, or set of previously unknown facts/circumstances, that deem the individual not suitable for use as a CHS.
Closing for cause us based on the facts and circumstances as determined on a case-by-case basis. Closing for Cause is a decision based on the seriousness of the violation. The following are possible reasons which may justify Closing for Cause: Unauthorized Criminal Activity, serious control problems, Unreliable, and Violated instructions.
General Reasons for Closing: Confidentiality revealed
Provide Additional Details: [about the reasons for Closing for Cause]
CHS [Steele} confirmed to an outside third party that CHS has a confidential relationship with the FBI. CHS was used as a source for an online article. In the article, CHS revealed CHS's relationship with the FBI as well as information that CHS had obtained and provided to the FBI. On November 1, 2016, CHS confirmed all of this to the handling agent. At that time, handling agent advised CHS that the nature of the relationship and the FBI would change completely and it was unlikely that the FBI would continue a relationship with the CHS. Additionally, handling agent advised that CHS was not to operate to obtain any intelligence whatsoever on behalf of the FBI: [FURTHER INFORMATION REDACTED]

But he did not stop gathering information for the FBI, as we'll see later. But put that aside for now.

A lot of people have been wondering: Did the FBI pay Russian sources for this information, through Steele? Well, most of the 70 pages of these records are for payments to Steele or reimbursements to Steele for money he spent; it's very possible some of those reimbursements were for bribes to Russians.

Collusion by the FBI, then?

I mean, isn't a quid pro quo -- American favors (tax dollars, here) for Russian dirt -- what Mueller is supposedly investigating?

You can't tell because everything on those payment forms is redacted. There's even a notification that no payments maybe be issued without the signature of an FBI agent and another Government Official; those signatures/identifying captions are all blacked out too.

Would this check-signer who almost certainly is a chairborne ranger be placed in grave danger if we knew his name? Apparently the FBI takes the position that he would be in the gravest of peril!

But even more interesting is this:

Interesting date on this record of when the FBI explained to Steele about the rules for confidential human sources. pic.twitter.com/aQrFs5W5Vk
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) August 3, 2018

Now, "Admonish" here probably is not definition 1 of "admonish" ("to chastise or reprimand"). Someone who follows these things says "admonish" is probably being used in its definition 2 sense: "to warn or strongly urge." In this context, what this record is probably about is the FBI giving Steele the rules (admonishing him) that he must not reveal his role as confidential source and cannot talk to the media about the "information" he's bribing Russians for (probably).

Both admonishments which he would eventually violate, of course.

But note the DATE of these "admonisments," and thus his enlistment into the FBI as a confidential source: February 2, 2016.

The FBI claims that the investigation into Trump did not begin until July 21, 2016.

So what is Christopher Steele, the oath-breaking partisan, doing being admonished about his duties as a confidential source nearly six months earlier?

It's possible he was being sworn in as a Junior G-Man in another FBI matter.

But I would say the balance of probability more strongly suggests a different explanation: The FBI is lying to us. Again. As usual.

Now, remember that Steele's termination from the FBI included the admonishment that he was to no longer collect intelligence for the FBI?

Eric Felton, one of the four people still (somehow) at the Weekly Standard who actually does real work instead of issuing ritual maledictions against Trump and squeeing like schoolgirls over superhero movies and Star Wars, has this very interesting report:

Did the FBI really sever its relationship with Christopher Steele?

What exactly does it mean for the FBI to suspend its relationship with a source?
What does it mean when that relationship has been "closed"? The answers to those questions may provide insight into whether the FBI and Department of Justice, in their applications for surveillance warrants against Carter Page, were fully forthcoming with the secret federal court that considers such requests.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act documents released on July 21 after a FOIA lawsuit from USA Today show the government informing the court that the FBI had "suspended its relationship" with Christopher Steele. Steele is the former British spy who was the Justice Department’s "Source #1" for its warrant applications targeting Carter Page. FISA warrants must be renewed every 90 days, and in the first such renewal filing with the court in January 2017, it was revealed that the suspension came after Steele was caught talking to the press, which the FBI had told him not to do.
The FISA filing explains at length why Steele felt driven to break his word: In late October, FBI director James Comey had "sent a letter to the U.S. Congress, which stated that the FBI had learned of new information that might be pertinent to an investigation that the FBI was conducting of Candidate #2." That would be the inquiry into Hillary Clinton and her emails. Comey’s action made Steele mad: "Source #1 told the FBI that he/she was frustrated with this action and believed it would likely influence the 2016 U.S. Presidential election."

"In response to Source #1's concerns," reads the January 2017 FISA renewal, "Source #1 independently, and against the prior admonishment from the FBI to speak only with the FBI on this matter, released the reporting discussed herein to an identified news organization." Steele had actually been briefing multiple news outlets on his dossier since September 2016, but it was this late October conversation with Mother Jones that got him into trouble.
"Although the FBI continues to assess Source #1's reporting is reliable," the bureau states in the January renewal, "the FBI has suspended its relationship with Source #1 because of this disclosure." And that's that for the warrant application's discussion of Steele.
One might think from this that Steele was a spy left out in the cold. But he wasn't quite the non-grata persona that the warrant application suggests. Indeed, Steele continued to feed his allegations to the FBI--just not directly. The bureau continued to consume those allegations and went to great lengths to deal with Steele without directly talking with him.
Steele found a go-between through whom to maintain contact with the FBI: senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie Ohr, a Fusion GPS employee, was working with Steele on his dossier.

So the FBI pretended to fire him, and then arranged for his "information" to be passed through Fusion employee Nellie Ohr's hands, so she could pass it to her Justice Department official husband Bruce Ohr, so he could pass it to the FBI.

How many lies does the FBI get to spin before people start getting fucking fired?

I'll direct you to Felton's article for the details of the continuing Steele-FBI relationship, despite Steele being terminated for cause based on the "seriousness of the violations."

And I know I mentioned this earlier, but in case all this crap has made you forget:

What's up with Steele apparently being sworn in as a Junior G-Man on February 2, 2016, almost six months before the FBI says it opened an inquiry into the Trump Collusion Hoax?

The FBI seems to lie an awful lot for an organization whose motto includes "Integrity."

Maybe they listed that last for a reason.

More: Now, this might not be anything, but the records seem to be presented in reverse order -- it begins with Steele's termination, and ends, it seems, with his recruitment.

So something on page 70 -- one page from the end, right next to his recruitment "admonishment" form -- would be from very early in this process, unless the FBI decided to mix all these papers up to further confuse the public.

On Page 70 -- shortly after his recruitment, if we assume these records are assembled rationally in reverse order -- there is this note:

"Anomalies: CHS confirmed to an outside third party that CHS has a confidential relationship with the FBI."

Did Steele already reveal his role as a confidential source so early after being admonished not to?

And with Steele freely admitting his role with the FBI to so many media outfits, what right did the FBI ever have to claim that they would not reveal information about him, as that would imperil his life?

HE HAD ALREADY REVEALED THIS TO "OUTSIDE THIRD PARTIES." Your own record of (fake) firing him says so. How can you say it's a state secret that can imperil his life when this asshole is holding court with a group of reporters blabbling all these alleged ultra-classified, life-or-death secrets?

Note: Hillary Clinton and the DNC had hired Steele before Steele got himself made Junior G-Man by the FBI.

And yet these records are loaded with payment forms.

Did Hillary Clinton conspire to get the US government to partially pay for her own oppo research efforts? Remember, minus the payments from the FBI, that money would be paid by Hillary and the DNC (through their cut-out Perkins Coie).

Correction: I got some dates confused. The first FISA app was filed in October 2016; January 2017 was the first renewal.

Thus, it's not the case, as I claimed, that they already knew that Steele had broken the rules by the time of the first application.

Although, frankly, these dates are pretty close together and I wonder why they didn't amend the just-submitted application to note that the agent they formally swore was reliable as a bishop was a liar.

If you file in October and then on November 1 your star investigator admits under interrogation he broke all your rules -- you don't file a quick amendment to correct the (inadvertent, let's be charitable and say) misrepresentation you just made to a judge?

You just sit on that for three months?

I will still vote in the midterms to support Trump, because I believe in HIM, but the system is broken, and it is getting more and more obvious that it won't get fixed.

The FBI should be completely disbanded, everyone above first-line supervisor terminated and then banned from Federal service.

The FBI plays the slow roll perfectly. Give a little, let people forget, give a little more, let people forget. Its all aimed at keeping the real info back until after the fall elections in hoping the Dems will be able to kill further info.

42 When the FBI releases redacted material like this it makes them look worse then if they had not redacted at all. That is if you really cared about the institution of the FBI in the long term, and not just protecting certain members of said institution from looking like criminals.

It really is comical at this point. They say there is no deep state, no cover up, then release a bunch of documents with everything blacked out except the date and letterhead. Even the KGB, back in the day, did better then this, both in terms of competence and subterfuge.

Note to Never Trumpers - the National Security / sources and methods stuff does not work anymore. If you imbeciles actually left your small cult of Tapper and leaned about political reality you would realize this just throws more fuel on the fire.

We know why. They are just the next weasels in the government gravy line. They sold out their integrity a long time ago, waiting to be Rosenstein's next cocksucker. Cocksucking apparently pays very well in FBI management circles.

I think Trump knows all, and is not unredacting the documents, at this time, because he is going to redact it about a month before the election, an "October Surprise" extraordinaire. Until then, he will continue his rope-a-dope with CNN and continue to make them look like the utter fools they are.

The FISA warrants, one at a time.
This document about Steele and the FBI.

And then a few other choice documents that have been released, albeit after a Sharpie orgy. Redact a few names if needed for protection, but they have lost their credibility about "sources and methods". We know they are lying to cover their own azzes, and nothing more.

Unredact one of these documents at the rate of 1 a week from the middle of September and half of October. That should soften up the beaches for the election, and have the Leftie press in a smoldering tailspin.

Oh please, make it so.

Not to mention the Sodom & Gomorrah levels of barely-hidden sexual "tag, you're it!" merry-go-round of incestuous relationships at every level of government, from Mayors to Dogcatcher, and every level in between.

Those are the "Our Betters", who recruit, select and hire their Police Chiefs on the basis of pigmentation, correct "Liberal" credentialism, Diversity (All Hail Diversity!), anti-gun commitment, affirmative action stuffing of staffing, and every other kind of qualifying for the mis-management of those Police Departments.

Guarandamnteeya that the FBI hires along the same matrix.

So it should be no surprise that the Climbers of Rank in that organization are EXACTLY the kind of Postgraduate Political Scum that we know in the form of the Struzks, Comeys, Pages and all of the other slimy scum which frothed it's way to the top, there.

Wrecking ball. Level the place.

Fire EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

And then start a new FBI. Recruit from local P.D.s, hiring NOBODY above the rank of Detective/Sergeant.

Put a retired Marine Lt. Col. in charge of it for the first few years. And run it with that high n' tight kind of internal discipline, and instill into it the morals and ethos of Death Before Dishonor.

And yes, on occasion, shoot some corrupt Agent, to put truth to that motto.

Then, just maybe, the FBI can be a trusted and respected Agency, once more.

But not until then. Not. Until. Then.

168 Trump is not (surely) playing politics with the justice system. He might time the release of something for political benefit, but that is all he has ... the bully pulpit to reveal the massive deep state crime syndicate. The justice system is involved in the coup.

Hillary is not in prison ... q.e.d. ... those special prosecutors are running a coup, and the executive branch deep state operators are 72% in on it, 37% actively subversive.

Trump has to use the bully pulpit to overcome 24/7 agitprop from MSM and even the IC is helping them, as well as dozens of billionaires and several foreign entities that have bribed their way into our government (Muslim Brotherhood, Awan, Russia, CHINA, etc.) We only hope that Huber will come, that Rogers is TrueBlue, that some white hats are prosecuted before they can help.

172 I get in this disagreement with a big Trump fan I know.

He's convinced this is all Trump's game drawing out this Russia
stuff, telling Sessions to end it but Sessions won't, Mueller clearly
abusing the law, etc.

I really see no upside in dragging this farce out and it's only a
matter of time before someone like we've already seen with Cohen just
starts lying to save their own skin and give Mueller what he wants.

The idea a big buildup and then reveal is a smart political strategy
seems incredibly stupid from where I'm standing. But I've been wrong
before.

Posted by: Jolly Roger at August 03, 2018 06:05 PM

Anyone can lie to try and save their a$$, but they need to have rock solid proof, and their ain't any proof of Trump doing anything illegal or we would have seen it long ago.

You need to remember that Trump has already seen all of this stuff. he knows what is in the FISA warrant and he has seen everything unredacted. All he needs to do is bide his time until all of the FOIA lawsuits work their way through the system and manaforts trial ends in either a mistrial or a NG verdict.

Also remember that the original FISA warrant that the DOJ gave Congress had material differences from the one that recently got released......Trump knows they are altering documents and he won't play along with those games.

My ex-girlfriend had a break-in last year. The cops did absolutely nothing, and one of the rings that was stolen from her was very, very valuable. All they did was keep bullshitting that they were looking for the guy.

She never quit hunting for it, and lo and behold she called me the other day to tell me she found it advertised online. She had the GIA numbers and everything, so she could prove it. It was in a different jurisdiction, so she called different cops who knew nothing of the case to help her retrieve it.

When they got there, the guy was a legit diamond merchant who kept the paperwork on the damn thing.

It showed he bought it at... her local PD's auction.

Most big city Chiefs of Police are every bit as bad.

Because, of course, most Big Cities are Democrat run shitholes of
typical Democrat corruption, cronyism, bribes, kickbacks and every other
form of graft known to man. Not to mention the Sodom Gomorrah
levels of barely-hidden sexual "tag, you're it!" merry-go-round of
incestuous relationships at every level of government, from Mayors to
Dogcatcher, and every level in between.

Those are the "Our Betters", who recruit, select and hire their
Police Chiefs on the basis of pigmentation, correct "Liberal"
credentialism, Diversity (All Hail Diversity!), anti-gun commitment,
affirmative action stuffing of staffing, and every other kind of
qualifying for the mis-management of those Police Departments.

WOW! You just described Seattle to a "T"!.
Democrat shithole - check

Police chief hired with correct skin pigment - check

Sodom and Gomorrah (previous Mayor with a big "little boy" problem) - check
Diversity before competence - oh, effing double check!
Anti-gum commitment - nickel a round ammo tax law costs over twice as much to administer as the revenue it generates - check

Put a retired Marine Lt. Col. in charge of it for the first few
years. And run it with that high n' tight kind of internal discipline,
and instill into it the morals and ethos of Death Before Dishonor.

And yes, on occasion, shoot some corrupt Agent, to put truth to that motto.

Posted by: Draki at August 03, 2018 06:27 PM (TsLdJ)

213 I did this a lot as a federal agent, though not with the FBI. They had the same procedures we used, which are pretty standard.
1) "Another government official," means a second agent or another LEO, like a task force agent, police officer, etc. They're just witnessing the payment.
2) We paid informants ("CHS") in cash, not checks, except on rare occasions. The informant had to sign a receipt but they could use their number or their file name, which was assigned to them so their real name didn't appear on any documents.
3) Not uncommon for the informant to be signed up ("registered") and the investigation not numbered until weeks, months, even years later. I had informants who were registered for one case and a year later came up with information on something totally unrelated. Part of their agreement was that they had to tell us everything. So Steele was probably registered in February based on some information he provided about Trump or something else, and then the actual case didn't get numbered until July.
4) "Admonishment" forms are common, standardized, and have to be signed and acknowledged by the informant when he agrees to cooperate. Here are the main elements of FBI's admonishment -
- information provided by the CI to the FBI must be truthful;
-the CI's assistance and the information provided are entirely voluntary;
-the United States Government will strive to protect the CI's identity but cannot guarantee that it will not be divulged;
-the CI must abide by the instructions of the [FBI] and must not take or seek to take any independent action on behalf of the United States Government;
-the CI is not an employee of the United States Government and may not represent himself or herself as such;
-the CI may not enter into any contract or incur any obligation on behalf of the United States Government, except as specifically instructed and approved by the [FBI];
-the [FBI] cannot guarantee any rewards, payments, or other compensation to the CI; and
in the event that the CI receives any rewards, payments, or other compensation from the [FBI], the CI is liable for any taxes that may be owed.
There's also usually an admonishment about engaging in illegal activity (can't do it unless approved by the agency). These are pretty standard and Steele would have had to sign the form, which goes into the informant file.
Bottom Line: I don't know why this thing was redacted so heavily. It's basically a standard piece of administrative paperwork. It probably shows a record of payments, but the Bureau's already acknowledged giving this guy a bunch of money. They're hiding something, but probably not here.

It's mostly the system, not so much the rank and file officers that I distrust.

yeah, I'm counting any such declassifying as part of the bully pulpit ... he has hinted he may do it if necessary, and would run it through "his people" first.

they can accuse him of harming sources and methods, or the whole "ongoing investigation" thing, but that has been the DeepState Mob's excuse forever, as they covered up Hillary's crimes.

We have no way of knowing if the current "under investigation" is really going to take down the DeepState syndicate. In the past that has indicated they are covering up massive fraud, and covering up massive criminal behavior by a large part of government. So just why anyone is absolutely sure "this time the same mob is running the show, but they are really serious this time" ... I'm just not sure.

yeah yeah ... SOME things are different, but there is a HUGE effort to stop Trump, and many indications Trump has been compromised, has been pushed into using the Mob's people in key positions. so we will see ... I'd love the fairy tale version.

The Trump administration announced last year its plan to phase out the program, which provides a level of amnesty to certain undocumented immigrants, many of whom came to the U.S. as children.

The order is not set to kick in right away, according to Politico, who notes that the government has until Aug. 23 file a motion to appeal the judges ruling.

Ummm - no. That is not what the documents say. Not. At. All.
The first document is a complaint filed by the NRA slapping around Cuomo and the NY DFS for intentionally infringing on the NRA's constitutional rights. The other document is a filing by the NRA regarding their financials from 2016. It shows that the NRA's revenues actually went up from 2015 to 2016 (particularity contributions - up by $25m!) but that the had extra expenses so that the net effect was a loss of 45m for the year - but if you look at the bottom line - total assets are a positive $36m and change. In other words they are very, very solvent. (finances - umm how do they work?)

This type of article is the epitome of fake news. I would call it really really fake news and an attempt to cover up the real news which is the reprehensible acts of Cuomo and his disgusting stormtroopers at the NYDFS.

Oh yeah! Very evil vile people. Like the Texas DMV that made me surrender title to my truck. Then said if the lose title it was my fault. And yes they lost title and say it is my fault! Hope their asses growth together.

I was wrong. I've always maintained that getting caught banging a student was the only way a teacher could get fired.

Link please so I can share it?

300 I guess NRA is non-profit, which complicates things. But if they had an arm that was for profit, and they started an insurance company, had a credit card, etc. how many would shift ALL their insurance to the NRA Group for the Win?

I linked to Branca earlier ... he recommended a few insurers for those that carry ... one he felt good about because they "self insured". It is gonna come to that ... BuyCotts ... screw em if banks want to shut out Americans after tha massive bailouts they have gotten, and after they don't go to jail when caught laundering billions in drug money.

303 The reasons that Trump doesn't simply un-redact everything is because he has been put in a box and can't

With street fighters like Stephen Miller on his team he is well aware that he can release and un-redact all of this.

Trump has been told in no uncertain terms that to un-redact everything will directly put agents lives in mortal danger, which we know is a lie but that's what's being spun.

It would be a very bold and dangerous move to do it after being told that, I would not put it past the deep state to engineer the death of agents to advance their nefarious ends, see Seth Rich.

Second, I am certain to a very high degree of certainty that Trump has been told by Sessions, Rosenstein and Wray that they will not comply with that order and will resign setting off a crisis that could potentially not be overcome.
There is also the obstruction of justice cry that would also follow such a move.
It's bullshit but that reality.

So I think Trump is pushing to the fullest extent that he can to move this shit forward but he has largely been boxed in.
