A former official in President Obama's State Department has confirmed a claim by the Senate Judiciary Committee, that former British spy Christopher Steele and Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal gave him intelligence reports claiming that President Trump had been compromised by the Russians.

Jonathan Winer, former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, confirmed the Judiciary Committee's claims in an op-ed for the Washington Post titled "Devin Nunes is investigating me: Here's the Truth."
"While talking about that hacking, Blumenthal and I discussed Steele’s reports. He showed me notes gathered by a journalist I did not know, Cody Shearer, that alleged the Russians had compromising information on Trump of a sexual and financial nature," writes Winer.
In September 2016, Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the “dossier.” Steele’s sources suggested that the Kremlin not only had been behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign but also had compromised Trump and developed ties with his associates and campaign.
Winer's op-ed corroborates the series of events outlined in a criminal referral for Steele issued by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), which asks the DOJ to investigate Steele for allegedly lying to the FBI about his contacts with the media.

13) We have the statements from the British Court documents but until the #GrassleyMemo is readacted we cannot identify the contradictions that Grassley found!

In Winer's op-ed, he says that he took Steele's information on Trump and shared it with former Assistant Secretary of State, Victoria Nuland, who then notified former Secretary of State, john Kerry.

Winer then gave Steele various anti-Trump memos from Clinton operative Sidney Blumenthal, which originated with Clinton "hatchet man" Cody Shearer. Winer claims he didn't think Steele would share the Clinton-sourced information with anyone else in the government.
“But I learned later that Steele did share them — with the FBI, after the FBI asked him to provide everything he had on allegations relating to Trump, his campaign and Russian interference in U.S. elections,” Winer writes.
Steele goes dark
On Monday, Steele skipped out on a UK court appearance following the "Grassley Memo" which notes that he lied to the FBI about his contacts with the media - leading the FBI to terminate their relationship with Steele, despite relying heavily on his work to apply for a FISA surveillance warrant on one-time Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Steele was expected for a long-requested deposition in a multi-million dollar civil case brought against Buzzfeed, which published a salacious and unverified "Trump-Russia" dossier.
The Grassley memo outlines Steele's involvement with the two dossiers now confirmed by Winer's op-ed.
"There is substantial evidence suggesting that Mr. Steele materially misled the FBI about a key aspect of his dossier efforts, one which bears on his credibility," reads the unredacted document that refers Steele for criminal prosecution in the US.
Steele was paid $168,000 by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was funded in part by Hillary Clinton and the DNC, who used law firm Perkins Coie as an intermediary.
Meanwhile, the Senate Judiciary Committee's January 4 criminal referral of Steele also reveals that the former British spy was involved in a second anti-Trump opposition research dossier.
As we reported Monday, this second dossier went from Clinton "hatchet man" Cody Shearer, who gave it to an unnamed official in the Obama State Department, before it was routed to Christopher Steele. It is unknown what happened to the document after that.
According to the referral, Steele wrote the additional memo based on anti-Trump information that originated with a foreign source. In a convoluted scheme outlined in the referral, the foreign source gave the information to an unnamed associate of Hillary and Bill Clinton, who then gave the information to an unnamed official in the Obama State Department, who then gave the information to Steele. Steele wrote a report based on the information, but the redacted version of the referral does not say what Steele did with the report after that.
Published accounts in the Guardian and the Washington Post have indicated that Clinton associate Cody Shearer was in contact with Steele about anti-Trump research, and Obama State Department official Jonathan Winer was a connection between Steele and the State Department during the 2016 campaign. -Washington Examiner
Winer's op-ed in the Washington Post appears to be some sort of attempted damage control so that GOP Congressional investigators can't "shape the narrative." We'll see if it saves him from the long arm of the law, as both House and Senate committees investigating election-related malfeasance are homing in like bloodhounds...

@ Seth,
There’s more than enough evidence in the Public Square & Open Source Investigations to Arrest, Enprison, Indict, Convict & Execute the Criminals & their Co Conspirators.
That absolutely NO arrests or indictments have occurred is telling. It’s absolute, complete, open in your Face

Fuck them & their Tyrannical Lawlessness.
Come April 15, #PackaGun&PayNoTax to their Tyrannical Lawlessness System of Crime, Debt, Bondage & Enslavement.
You need to go all the way back to the days when governor Clinton allowed the CIA to run guns into Central America and sell drugs on the streets of America. He gave them top cover they game him & Hillary a lifetime pass.
In return, The American People received Tyrannical Lawlessness.

Yes, without patience we wouldn't know what we know now, and more patience will bring boatloads of more DemoRat and RINO shit to the light of day. This Jonathan Winer swamp creature and his corrupt "damage control" op-ed is not the whole story. You can bet he has a couple hundred lies of omission in that piece. He'll hang with the rest of the traitors.
On the good foot, my big window sticker came in and is now on the back of the SUV -- "OBAMUNISM: WEAPONIZING GOVERNMENT TO BLUDGEON DEMORATS' POLITICAL OPPONENTS." Not sure how long that back window glass is going to stay unbroken. Quite a risk with my high deductible. So a game camera is strapped to a seat headrest looking backward and there's a GoPro knockoff capturing the back window too. Wish a Deplorable luck here in flyover America.

This Steele Agent / Operative really gets around. Here’s a coupe of other suspicious individuals he associated with.
This Steele Guy is going to get a visit from some “Wet Work” Individuals.
He was also feeding Victoria Nuland “Intelligence” on Ukraine to Kerry’s State Dept. The Connection to the State Dept was through State Dept Official Johnathan Wiener who was the US Special Envoy to Lyiba from 2013-2016.
BENGAZI.
Weiner had a prior friendship with Steele, and passed on Steele’s analysis as a courtesy to The State Dept. Europe Bureau, lead at the time by assistant secretary Victoria Nuland. The State Dept. received at least one Steele report a month. A coupe a dozen in total officials said.
Who is Johnathan Wiener?
Lawer, Consultant & Diplomat from Maryland. Served as the State Depts first Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Law Enforcement from 1994-1999 during the Clinton Administration and until January 2017 as the US Specual Envoy to Lybia in the Obama Administration.
The Washington Post (Deep State) is already acknowledging it feed / sent information to the FBI, is tight with Victoria Nuland? Who prepared the BENGAZI talking points? All while Wiener was the Special Envoy to Lybia? And, (Wiener) has a friendship with special friendship with Steele who’s being briefed by Hillary Clinton?

If Steele isn't dead already, he should go into witness protection ASAP.
I'm surprised no warrant for his arrest has been handed down from the Bench.
You don't skip out on an Oral Examination in the High Court, even in a civil matter.
The Judges tend to get very pissed.No motion for summary judgement, so plaintiff will ask
for sanctions including contempt.He may well be in hiding from the Met police and the Sheriff of London
right now.Wormwood Scrubs is a total rathole prison, hope he enjoys his stay,they like pretty boys in
there.
In reply to If Steele isn't dead already… by Dancing Disraeli
Doesn't want to show up and perjure himself again. He was lying for the FBI, but it all came out before he got his immunity deal. Now he is screwed.
Comey & McCabe & Strzok thought having him leak the dossier before the election would kill Trump. They couldn't - it would have been transparently political. So they "parted ways" and he leaked it, and then they "fired" him. Problem is no one would publish it. Now he is screwed. It looks like he lied to/misled the FBI. Then Simpson lied to Congress. Now, Steele has no one to give him immunity. Nunes & Gowdy will try to extradite him, or get him to spill on McCabe & Comey in exchange for immunity to flip. THIS is gonna be fun to watch! If he flips, you think he will make it here? With all those guys now out of work are there any contractors who will take the job? Man, conspiracy theories are FUN when they come true!!
