A lengthy, glowing New Yorker magazine profile on the anti-Trump "Dossier" author, Christopher Steele, reported the former MI6 agent knew that his work was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
New Yorker writer Jane Mayer wrote that several months after Steele was subcontracted by Fusion GPS in the spring of 2016, he learned his research was being jointly subsidized by the Clinton campaign and the DNC. But in a footnote on the warrant application to the FISA court on Oct. 21, 2016, the FBI stated "Source #1," meaning Steele, was "Never advised" as to "The motivation behind the research into Candidate #1's ties to Russia."
Carter asks: "Did Steele lie to the FBI or did the FBI choose not to disclose this information to the secret court?".
The former Trump campaign volunteer Page has denied all of the accusations made against him in the Steele dossier and has filed lawsuits against Buzzfeed and other media outlets for publishing the claims.
Powerline blogger Scott Johnson points out that the New Yorker feature by Jane Mayer, which "Presents Steele as a left-liberal heartthrob," doesn't mention the fact that Steele is the defendant in several defamation lawsuits contesting the veracity of the dossier.
In a lawsuit by filed in London by Aleksej Gubarev, whom Steele accused of participating in Russian intelligence hacking, the former British spy testified the dossier is merely a compilation of bits of "Raw intelligence" that were "Unverified."
Powerline's Johnson observed that the New Yorker's Mayer "Should have been especially interested in Steele's disclaimer of the veracity of his dossier."
