Does information leaked by Steele to the press count as "confirmed" when the FBI cites the resulting press accounts in the application?  Comey's FBI said it does.


I would not think so, but the dossier contained information about activities of Page, Agalarov, Manafort, and Gubarev. They were all known subjects of previous investigations.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

It may be to wait for the arrest and trial of the offenders. Putting the document in the press would bias potential juries.


So in the meantime, Trump is just letting all the others involved get arrested, charged, tried, convicted, and jailed for what reason?

There’s the problem. If it is 100% false, there is no source or method to protect. The reason for the application remaining classified would be nonexistent.

I don't think the reasons for keeping this confidential has as much to do with protecting sources as much as protecting FBI agents and Lynch's DoJ from embarrassing revelations.

I will NOT comply.

Trump has the final say on classification. Unless they have a firm hold on a dead man’s switch, there’s no reason to protect them.
