Debunked anti-Trump dossier deliberately left out Hillary Clinton connection
By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Monday, February 5, 2018
A Republican senator on Monday released an unpublished portion of the infamous Trump-Russia dossier that showed Hillary Clinton associates fed information to the author, former British spy Christopher Steele.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairmen Charles Grassley posted the heavily redacted referral he sent to the Justice Department asking for a criminal probe into whether Mr. Steele lied to the FBI.
In the referral is a reference to an Oct. 19, 2016 memo Mr. Steele wrote. It was not included in the dossier posted on Jan. 10, 2017 by BuzzFeed.

The referral states that a “foreign sub source is in touch with [name redacted] a friend of the Clintons, who passed it to [name redacted.]”
This Clinton associate was apparently funneling information from the Obama State Department which passed through an named person first.
The referral, also signed by Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, states:
“It is troubling enough that the Clinton campaign funded Mr. Steele’s work, but that these Clintons associates were contemporaneously feeding Mr. Steele allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility.”
A declassified House memo states that the FBI used the dossier to obtain a wiretap warrant on a Trump campaign volunteer. The FBI did not tell the court that the Hilary Clinton camp and the Democratic national Committee funded the dossier through Fusion GPS to Mr. Steele.
