“It was coming from a credible source, someone with a track record, someone who was a credible and respected member of an allied intelligence service during his career,” Comey said, referring to former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. “And so it was important that we try to understand it, and see what could we verify, what could we rule in or rule out.”
Thus spoke James Comey to George Stephanopoulos, during an interview days before the release of his upcoming book, A Higher Loyalty.
“It, at its core, was consistent with the other information we'd gathered during the intelligence investigation,” he said of the dossier.
Comey went on to say the reason for the Russian collusion investigation was not the dossier:
“The investigation began because of reliable information that George Papadopoulos was having conversations about obtaining information from the Russians,” Comey said, referring to the president’s former campaign foreign policy adviser. “That's probably as far as I can go at this point.”
But the real kicker, and items which I have repeatedly pointed out, is why Russia did this:
"dirty up the American democracy”; to damage Hillary Clinton in her candidacy because Russian President Vladimir Putin “personally hated” her; and “to help Donald Trump become elected president.”
