been damaged but he has said yes i met kislyak, i did have encounters with the russians, i did go there. a lot of this is verified. i think the slander suit is gone. shannon: he is denying some of the things alleged against him. he said they should have known it was a dirty dossier, here is part of his complaint on september 23rd, 2016, in perh s perhaps: that s a lot of adjectives the yahoo news department of defendant subsidiary yahoo chose to publish a highly misleading article. what are his best claim? his claim now, he does have to get rid of the defamation claim. because one of his points was he wasn t under investigation. now the we clearly know he was. there were warrants that got him wire tapped against him. shannon: what about his specific claims there were meetings and things they allege that he didn t attend and he had
gps briefed half a dozen media outlets in the fall of 2016 but the majority did not go with the story. one who did was apparently used to just identify fbi surveillance. the carter page fisa application cited a september 23rd, 2016, yahoo news article by michael isikoff which focuses on a jewel 2016 trip to moscow. page denied working with the russians. i have never broken any law or done anything untoward in russia or relating to any russian person. according to the memo an fbi counter intelligence chief said the corroboration of the steele dossier was in the early stages even as the initial fisa was submitted. comey later testified he told the president reflect at trump tower the dossier was quote salacious and unverified but it was used repeatedly to review
all of the open watchdog groups and all of these journalists who are supposed to, you know, shed sunlight. ed: safeguards of democracy. watchdogs. instead what we have a stonewall media to match the stoned face democrats this past week. rachel: you guys are journalists. have you ever seen a time where journalists are saying we want less information. we want less transparency? trust the government on this. right. and obviously the contents of the memo show exactly why. because it is confirmatory, not re relevantory. in cahoots. all the accusations over the past year were really severe psychological projections. todd: what about the yahoo article? i think we have a full screen right now the michael isikoff article september 23rd, 2016. u.s. intel officials ties trump officials and kremlin. the basis for that article is the dossier, which was
