FBI Knew 'Within 60 Days' That Russia Probe 'Built On A Foundation Of Sand'

Rep. Mark Meadows confirmed what many have suspected about the Trump-Russia for a long time; the FBI knew early on that the foundation of its counterintelligence investigation against the Trump campaign was built on 'a foundation of sand,' reports the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross.

North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows told Hannity Friday night that the FBI knew "Within 60 days of them opening the investigation, prior to [Robert] Mueller coming on, the FBI and the knew that Christopher Steele was not credible, the dossier was not true, George Papadopoulos was innocent."

Meadows did not elaborate on why he believes the FBI knew their investigation was built on a mountain of lies, however according to The Hill's John Solomon last month, memos which were retroactively classified by the DOJ reveal that a high-ranking government official who met with Christopher Steele in October 2016 determined that information in the Trump-Russia dossier was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media.

Meadows also suggested that the FBI had exculpatory information on Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who was fed the rumor that Russia had negative information on Hillary Clinton, and later bilked for said information by a Clinton-linked Australian diplomat.

Within those two months, the FBI team leading the investigation received information from Steele's dossier.

The FBI also dispatched a longtime FBI informant, Stefan Halper, to meet with Papadopoulos.

Meadows in the past has suggested the FBI had exculpatory information on Papadopoulos that showed the Trump aide was not working with Russia.
