This podcast is supported by electrify America if you're a daily listener. You love great podcast, but remember when you didn't think back. There was a time when podcast were well weird people didn't know how to find them and even question who listen to pop casts now you're a day listener and podcast or totally normal, but there is always something new and electric vehicles are normal. Now who enjoy generally lower maintenance costs and in even smoother ride curious about this technology visit Well now dot com to learn more about the next big thing: electric vehicles from New York Times. I Michael this is a daily for years. The steel dossier captivated and cleaved America a collect, one of the most salacious allegations against Donald Trump it became in directly linked to the Russia investigation. The Mulder report in

the legitimacy of Troms presidency itself, then weeks ago either. We then Chang go analysed and the disease main source was arrest it and charged with lying to the FBI. About his sources for the dossier today My colleague Mr Schmid, or turns to make sense of the dossiers outside life and quiet death

its Monday December thirtieth MIKE's mad horror very well firmware. It's ok, yeah so like this is truly a blast from the past. You. Trump, Russia still dossier being in the studio and the reason we're bringing the proverbial ban back together is because we now new information on a dossier which for the last year, or so has remained kind of a loose end in the trunk. Russia story, and this new information feels like it finally ties up that loose but in doing so it very much begs the question

of why this dossier ever had the life that it did and why it took so long to get to this moment. So that's what we want to talk to you about your right. I think it very important that we're doing this. The Trump Russia's story is a chapter in our country's history, and the dossier was treated by many people as a big part of it, in a way that it probably really never should have been and right now. We have two things: we have new information that helps clarify What this dossier was all along what this thing was all about, and were also a year out from the trunk presidency, and we have the ability to see much more clearly how this document affected offered p,

a government government officials, members in the media, the public. and why this had such an impact write em, make sense to start at the beginning of the dossier kind of its birth. And I think I should remind us about so. Donald Trump was running for president and that led a lot of people to do a lot of things that they normal, We would not have done any normal political race. It is common for one side to sit down with members of the media and other sort of government watchdogs and say: hey. Look here, some opposition research that we found I have been through. One of these meetings actually went through one of these meetings. In twenty six till I have to wear Republicans sat down with me about a democratic Senate candidate somewhere out in the country and said: look.

We have done all of this research about this category, Donna for you, we ve done it for you here are our receipts, and a sense of here is the proof of what we have done here is the documentation. usually like it was in this mean that I had its about what I would call old school political corruption, stuff around campaign finance stuff around shady donor stuff, about whether the Kennedy paid their tax write offered in that gene raw public records based controversies, correct scandals and they say look. Here's what we think happened with this candidate, here's the documentation why we think it is right about it. You know, if you need help, give us a shout- it's not painting by colors, but it's a very good road map for a reporter to go out and find information. A lot of this goes on in twenty. Sixteen something very different happen. These operators

that had been hired by the Clinton campaign are sitting down with members of the media, but the opposition research that they were providing was not about taxes or shady donors. It was that Donald Trump had been collected by a foreign power. A very startling claim. He has been corrupted by an american adversary. Daddy's, open intervening in the election, and he

essentially a manchurian candidate running for present, and that was very, very different right. I was not in any of those made and what happens in the summer of twenty. Sixteen is that the dossier starts to circulate in Washington. It circulates within the wash and in view of the New York Times you have claims of of deals of business deals that are going to enrich the people around tromp. You have stuff about Paul man afford the campaign chairman has connections to Ukraine. There are specifics in their about trumps layer at the time. Michael Cullen goes too

rob to meet with a russian officials. One of my colleagues looks at the dossier in says: well, there's an allegation about something related to Michael Cohen. Let me pick up the phone and try and get it confirmed, tries to do it. I can't get it confirmed. Some of the allegations are things that I would call too difficult to confer like what damage has been cultivated for five years by the russian government to be an asset of theirs. We who you gonna, call to get there for right? We're gonna start their certain things that are just so salacious that they're so hard to get too and in the course of this I am given a copy of the dossier and I read it and my wow holy shit. This is crazy But there's a only so much you can really do with that. I wasn't sure what to do with it. I put it in my backpack. I went home to see my parents

I read it again there in the late summer, early fall of twenty. Sixteen I left the dossier there I forgot about it. That's the value tat but you left your parents, I'm Virginia. I only realised weeks later that it was sitting in my parents apartment in Richmond Virginia. It was this thing that was sort of floating around and forgetting it somewhere, just sort of demonstrates how we looked at the document right, some like how was that this opposition research report, which you don't seem to put a stock into, came into being, see. You may remember that this documents origins predate the Clinton team picking it up. This was a document they sort of enhanced it actually started during the republican primaries. it may seem, really hard fathom now bide Donald Trump with

during the heck out of the republican establishment at the time burden proposition is a race bathing Zena, phobic, religious, big, a toxic mix of demagoguery and mean spiritedness that will lead republican party to perdition. Mr trumps, language is divisive cancer on conservatism, and it must be clearly diagnosed excised and discarded. And it was during that period of time that a wealthy republican donor began paying these private investment. leaders to start developing information on truck right to try to undermine its canvassing, correct that tromp, having reached the majority of these boats that doesn't go

we're Donald Trump wins. The nomination Spanish selected as the Republican Party nominee for president of the United States and a lawyer for the Clinton campaign picks up essentially that contract and begins paying those private investigators to do the research on right because now he's the Democrats from current and at what happens next as part of this research operation, fusion GPS. This firm that has been started by two former Wall Street Journal: reporters hires crew,

stiffer steel he's a former british spy with expertise in Russia, and he someone that the FBI has used in the past for information about european in russian corruption. This process, this endeavour is bringing on a former spy for a foreign country right to aid in the process now me be. This has gone on before in american history may be. There are other examples of that, but in modern political times, that's a pretty extraordinary move right, but Donald Trump was a great threat demo. rats thought right in Accordance Christopher Steel who, through his process, and his sources

right down all these salacious claims about trumpet he's a foreign assets that he's, as you said, a manchurian candidate and submits those reports eventually to the democratic candidacy of Hillary Clinton and we now know these reports to be the steel dossier. After his name he's the author for the client, the Clinton Gamble got it So what happens to this resource at this point as the dark? yea, circulates with the media. Reporters are talking to each other about because Donald Trump is behaving on the campaign trail. Unlike any, the recent candidate that we ve seen, but it would be interesting to see I will tell you this and he sang Russia. if you're listening, I hope, you're well defined. The thirty thousand emails that are missing help me in my campaign. Right. Let's see that happens, that'll be next. Yes, he's basically asking there

shouldn't who are already intervening in the election to help him right of your rapporteur, who has read this report, even if your dismissive of it, like my schmidt, you're? Probably recognising some linkage there? What the report did was provided while It immense quite ready to this problem, which it was unclear why Donald Trump was behaviour. Why is he saying that? Why is he saying at about Vladimir Putin. I thought he was our enemy. It was very odd and in front of you is a document that says here's the end. It doesn't necessarily prove it, but in a world where you're trying to make sense of this abnormal presidential candidate, you look at the document, you say. Ah ha I get it and there was an appealing nature of that.

and at the same time the members of the media are looking at this in going steel is giving the reports to the FBI with which he has a previous relation Jesus previous relationship with the FBI he's providing the F b. I would these reports and by the way the FBI is already investigating, ties between the trunk campaign in Russia does aka starting to come together. So what does the F b? I do with the steel research, so the FBI's Earl in its investigation, is looking for. Anything I can to try and understand is a normal looking relationship. That's been going on and in the process of that are looking at one member of trumps foreign policy

a guy, who we certainly had not heard of before then named Carter, Pink its to be here and in Moscow. The world trade center today and nearer investigating harder pages ties to Russia. For the last fifteen years, I've been right, searching teaching and writing about fundamental trends in the world economy. Its given me many opportunities to present outside lectures across Russia, you're in the FBI's, in the process of trying to deter and whether to seek a special surveillance warrant to listen to Carter pages phone conversations. Read his emails. Go through anything. They essentially want in his electronics in the dossier, comes in with fairly clarifying or apparently clarifying information about pages relationship with Russia, and they look at the dossier.

in the dossier, helps put them over the top in terms of going to apply for that warrant. They use it as evidence They use part of the dossier to go to a special judge. You get a surveillance warrant on Carter, an american citizen, an American sit, and do they get it they get it. So this is important and opposition research report, first funded by Republicans to knock Trump out and then funded by Democrats defeat him of the general election that seem content is now being used by the federal of investigations to apply for a warrant to ease. up to spy on an american citizen and a trumpet Visor Carter, beach rife among the most invasive in greatest tools that the FBI has

use your value to listen in on your conversations in this document has already played a role in secure that about a member of a presidential candidates campaign, but the power and impact of the dossier is just beginning Ok, when you meet this means that Donald Trump will be the forty fifth president of the United States Darling rob with investigators are also looking into alleged connections between the trunk campaign and Russia and possible measures

in the. U S, presidential election. So many questions flying around about what Russia did, that Barack Obama tasks the intelligence community to give him an assessment on what happened. Intelligence community comes up with a classified determination that indeed, Russia tried to interfere in the election to help the Trump campaign for the intelligence chiefs, including FBI director. James call me say: well, if we're briefing Obama on is probably brief. The incoming President Donald Trump on it as well,

in January of twenty. Seventeen call me in the other, Intel Chiefs go to Trump Tower and inner room. They brief trump. On the findings of this assessment, Russia tried to help get them elected afterwards in what I think is one of the more consequential moments of Donald Trump Presidency. Even those presence is not be gone. Right call me pose trump aside, comin been told that Coral Bernstein, the legendary Watergate reporter, who now works for CNN, has a copy of the dossier and they may publish it soon. Call me noses been circulating. He knows it's been attached to the intelligence communities finding right and he says to himself.

If I dont tell Donald Trump about this and CNN reported in a few days, then it's gonna look like were hiding something from the incoming president of the United States, so he says to be transparent with tromp, I'm going to tell him about the dossier in a one on one conversation, Commie tells trust. I just enough. Why hey by the way. There's this thing that's been circulating around about you right in this meeting with Trump call me walking up to the line in dancing around The most salacious allegation in the dossier, which is that in two thousand and thirteen, when Trump was in Russia, he hired prostitutes too in front of him urinate

on the bed that Michel in Barrack Obama had allegedly slept on in the Ritz Carlton in Moscow and what we know about transfers wants to this information from Gummy come. He says they trump into rocks and in a very defensive way, says to call me: do I look like a guy who needs ogres? This interaction obviously sets call me in trumps, relate kinship off in a very distinct direction. Commie realises it's been a very awkward encounter and trump layer says that he thinks that call me was trying to get leverage on a complete disconnect between the two. You don't need to know much of the rest of the story to see the direct line from there.

two commies firing just a few months later, but we are breaking news we're following right now I want to get straight to Jake Tapir, whose Withers Jake you ve got some major breaking a couple of days and asked this briefing CNN, has learned that the nations top intelligence officials provided information to President Elect

Donald Trump and to President Barack Obama. Last week about claims of russian efforts to compromise President Elect trunk CNN reports that Trump had been briefed on the content of the dossier. The allegations were part of a two page synopsis. These were based on memos compiled by former british intelligence operative, whose past work? U S, intelligence officials consider credible. This is the first to gaining significant. Accurate report aims with that. This dossier exists and that it has been used at the highest levels of the country's long for

in ancient see two brief, the incoming president when underline this tube age, an obvious that were referring to this is an annex. This is an addendum to the intelligence community report. That's exactly right though they were. There was a dignified, huge disclosure. Vat assessment just heightens the questions about. What's in the dossier, for those, unlike you haven't seen, correct public has no idea, but they know that the incoming president, and told about, but must be very important, and it is in that environment in that aftermath, literally that same day, dead, Buzzfeed NEWS published the actual documents from the dossier and then there's the controversial move by Buzzfeed last night publishing a dossier source to a person who claims to be a former member of British. halogens the decision to publish it was a highly controversial me right now. So what

it reminded me of is when my brother sends me alien conspiracy, theory website, saying we have these facts, you decide, we can't verify anything. We can't tell you of this: is real or not, but why would you put just nudists occurs, not the dossier. What was the does morning, why wouldn't Buzzfeed end up for deciding published us on verified allegations defamatory potentially May I read the letter the benchmarks put out, and I dont know the answer to that: easily one of the more consequential controversial journalism, decisions of a modern and the person who made that decision. The editor of Buzzfeed was Bent Smith now the New York Times. The accounts, the editor in chief of the online new site, saying in an email to his reporters quote: Americans can be up their own minds about allegations about the President Elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the: U S: government,

actually remember, I'm going on tee I think it was CNN and splaining his rationale for publishing, but that I think, when, with your great scoop, puts not just the fact of a document, but claims attributed in Europe according to a source is credible and specific summaries of the claims into public. I think I think everybody's obligation, that is to say well here, are the actual claims. When I say that is a good thing basically careful if the F b I knows about it, and reporters like MIKE Schmidt, know about it and had like the present text has been briefed on it. The public deserves to know was it tat? Was his arc right, lamb and to say you- and I have here between us a secret document with explosive dark claims, and we don't we you guys on the other side of the camera, can't see it, but we can I dont really under the egg, is I'm sort of end in the days that followed a number of media organisations hiccup on this story

in a major way, I think, is important for us to note MIKE that the times didn't, I'm our member talking to you guys about this. We covered buzz feeds, decision to publish, but not the contents of, yeah it's off right ever since we had first tried in the summer of twenty sixteen to verify it and been unable to do so. We had made the decision and not to use it or quote from it and our reporting a disseminate the information we had not ourselves been able to verify that with our philosophy, but other media organisations followed the logic of Buzzfeed. There's these troubling allegations that Russia has compromising information on Donald Trump and for reasons I can't explain summer calling it Golden Gate, it's the director of national anthem,

just come out and said we don't know if all that stuff in that dossier is true, if the FBI in fact had assess that stuff and found it to be untrue, if they had found it to be false. The F b, I could say so but they're, not saying anything when you're in this room describe it. It's soaked in his we just it just watches over you. I mean it's not like it's in the past year in history in this story has been sorted out nothing more or less nebulous, worry cloud. Since Russia, hacking, Dnc, became evident this past summer, but with these developments today, all of a sudden. This is starting to feel like like a like a life and death story, All of a sudden is starting to feel like the most important. The letter,

story, certainly in the world. In then, in March of twenty seventeen stuff was Germany. I thank you- and I also want to thank you as the rushes story about trumpets picking in his front page news every day. Here are some of the matters drawn from public sources alone, since that is all we discussing the setting, concern us and we believe the concern all Americans in early June, Adam chef DE top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, the committee that's in charge, with overseeing all the intelligence agencies and of investigating trumps ties to Russia. Reads: portions of the dossier into the congressional record. According to Christopher steal, a former british intelligence officer was reported with being embraced by these folks had have

large megaphone for large swathes of the country. According to steals, russian sources pages offered broke debtor skeptical of true right also, according to steals russian sources. The campaign is embraced. We should note uncritically which near embraced as confirming the questions out there. A battle tromp.

Okay, so MIKE you have taken us up Seventeen and we ve, seen this tremendous impact from the dossier its use in this wired its concern to the FBI director, an impact that it has on his relationship with present from its problem. on cable television is being read into them. national record. Where are we as we head into two thousand and eighteen in the meantime,

as you may remember, there was live full blown? Investing, nation, going on by Robert Mauler that had nothing to do with the dossier and that investigation is looking at what Russia did in the election and the ties between the campaign, but what the dossier head dawn and did was, it gave the right away to sort of conflict to face. Why not what we see is that as much as the left leaned into the dossier for its political narrative, the right begins to do the same. Mothers investigation is bad news for Trump its putting out as it moves forward.

Embarrassing damaging details about what Russia did and how the Trump campaign openly embraced and what the right is able to do is desirable to make the dossier, though, problem, this entire cases. We know it is based on this dossier. This spirit is nonsensical dossier in this dossier that we now was on verified and and largely nonsense about Donald Trump. If you remember back to the beginning, all of this was justified in part by the publication of a dossier. It totally unverified dossier, Phyllis theories This nonsense document that is at the heart of this Russia question any sort of ignore all the more so

stand. She did things that we are learning from the Mahler investigation. In the end, the Mulder report has four hundred pages, none of it based on the dossier, but the Republicans were able to elevate the dossier to the point that it confused the public they mars to be investigating trump. Russia collusion. Why would he ignore the bought and paid for russian dossier and it allows them to cast doubt on the entire russian narrative. The dossier is based russian lies paid for by Hilary literally. This was a document that was produced the president's enemies paid for by them through higher

The foreign National, Christopher Steel puts the who hire this far and spy to dig up dirt. It turned out to be a bunch of nonsense that has defamed at present. So you think about this. When you turn on these other networks or pick up a newspaper, there's no tromp Russia collusion, but we and gives them fodder to help Trump train. Put the Russia question behind him to cast as much doubt on it as possible, and in the midst of trying to make this argument, the Republicans are given a huge gift breaking news out of Washington here, a long awaited report by the Justice Department Inspector General, put chatter with report did find a number of errors when the bureau apply

to conduct surveillance of a Trump campaign aid. This report that revealed how the FBI relied on the dossier improperly in how it obtained these surveillance warrant on Carter page as director General Michael Horowitz was harshly critical of the FBI. Finding close significance, inaccuracies and omissions in the forest surveillance born applications for tromp campaign, a Carter page at this point quarter peach has been charged with any wrong doing It has become clear that the investigation into him has fizzled. This was intention, to violate Carter page. civil liberties in constitutional. In Republicans, who, up to this point in sort of e pre trump world, were huge defenders of the surveillance court.

The process for obtaining these says is an extreme violation of our of our civil rights. Of all. These are serious, celebrity liberty issues and there's no lipstick that you can put on this begged. That's gonna make it look good morning after become huge civil libertarians steel dossier was at the heart and soul of the intrusion into the civil liberties of Carter page and by the way, and the Democrats who, during the Bush administration, with the biggest critics of the surveillance court and this surveillance, state and champions of celebrities, into civil liberties, are fairly muted in their outrage. So the political dynamics of this great power that the federal government has, surveillance are turned on its head right and so get another way that the dossier is

Verbal rating is that it turns the political world upside down, and it also obscures a hugely consequential finding by that Justice Department Inspector General, which is that the FBI's investigation into the Trump campaigns ties to Russia. The origins of this had nothing to do with the dossier, but at the same time, because the Carter paid warrant does have something to do with the dossier, it gets very confusing right in the larger importance of whatever

general is saying is that the foundation of that Russia Investigation was solid? The f b I had every right to look into what it did about the campaigns ties, but this part about the dossier is far far flimsy or the right was already dismissing this document. Now the dossier has had these significant holes blown in the side of it and trumps. eggs are quietly moving away from it, and it is in that environment that the dossier begins to dissipate into the background and fade away. which is peculiar, given the enormous impact I see that you have just laid out for us that a kind of dust

eyes, this very quiet, unfinished death. No one has come through and given it that true final below that lays out for us why this document should not be given great credit bill No one has done that is just kind of dangling out there waiting for someone to come through and provide that clarity. In a few weeks ago, almost a year after Donald Trump has left office there, happened. Some Reagan news this morning, everybody from the Justice Department Seniority OJ if, as a special investigator here, we go, who has been appointed by the Trump Administration prosecutor asked by trumps Attorney General Bill bar with investigate the Russia investigation itself to try to prove the whole thing was a hoax. Like rings detailed was a series of charges

against the primary source that stuff had relied on in the dossier. Federal authorities have arrested this. Man this morning, his name is eager than shank go. Is a russian born animal living in the United States indicting the principal source for the steel. Ass he ate with five counts of lying to the FBI and creating a false narrative during the trunk brush investigation and twenty seventy This sounds like big news, you're absolutely right. What has happened is is that when the FBI back and twenty sixteen got, the dossier call me and the other investigator said we have to get to the bottom of this dossier. We have to find out whether this is true or not, and they went out in that process found out the sources that steel had relied on. The interviewed those sources and one of them Igor DEN Genco, line repeatedly to the FBI

about where he got his information from what he told me every eye was that he provided raw intelligence. Christopher steel about things We're essentially rumours, including that salacious allegation about a sex tape in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Moscow, Franco maintains his innocence. He's pledged not guilty and he's is that he did not understand that the information he was providing to steal going to be used as opposition research or that the information he had obtained from his forces. Would be represented. Somehow is conclusive in the indictment lays out a pretty damning picture how the information that didn't Genco gave to steal for the dossier was in fact second eighth. tenth eleventh hand, the F b I found in his information, was unverified and was portrayed with more confidence in the steel dossier than it actually deserved.

This was the secret source whose steel had used in making the allegations, these salacious allegation is indicted. For lying to federal investigators, so at this point, We can say that the steel dossier is a profoundly flawed document correct and now we can see in I, the anatomy of how this document came to be and its troubling. Unlike looking it seems we can clearly see now that The steel dossier should never have had the life any impact that it did it should never have been used in the wiretap warrant for Carter. Page should never have been read the congressional record or featured on price time segments

it will lose it probably should have stayed the kind of document that you forget. It parents house in Virginia. Yes, that is clear, but the steal dossier does is. It reflects the fevered pitch of the moment, the left with terrified about Donald Trump. They were terrified about what it Donald from presidency could do so they grasp for anything that they could. The right thought that the left was trying. to undo it democratic election of twenty. Sixteen by using these allegations to take down from out of power through Mahler another measures- and they grabbed onto this because it allowed them, provide a narrative too how Donald Trump was being unfairly tainted by this. So it was this thing that everyone tried to grab onto

as they both thought. They really had very little to grab onto on something that really really really they thought matter. The dossier became a tool, an instrument for each side to use as they waged all but physical war against each other information war for the direction of the country. My don't ask you. A difficult task, given this new development in the story of the dossier, assure you nervous Republicans are once again using the dossier to call into question the entirety of the Russia Investigation why it started whether it should have been done all of its findings. and I wonder, as you looked back on this period, probably the most consequential period of your career. Realistically, I would venture to say,

Do you think there is anything to that notion? Let me ask you a question. We are some questions. Did steal dossier have anything to do with trumps. First, national security. Your MIKE Flynn line to the FBI about his contacts with the russian ambassador did they have anything to do with Paul manner, for its relationships with russian oligarchs, who had leverage over him and pulling data that he shared with a russian intelligence officer during the campaign to have anything to do with the convictions of Roger Stone, distilled us They have anything to do with the ten acts of obstruction there are laid out in the Mahler investigation. Do any of those things have anything to do with the dossier? Kimono guess the other is now putting the steel darcy,

aside, the number of allegations in incidents that reveal troubling ties to Russia are criminality that stand alone. It's not even comparable. Arguably one of the great flaws in the way the steel dossier was handled by many people. Many powerful people in media and in the government was over reach in Your way that thing you just described was obscured sure we're almost a year out from Trump Leaving office were starting to get some historical clarity on what this was about. This story, the Trump presidency felt one way in the moment in the moment, and the facts turn out to be different than those feelings in the difference between those two

is what history turns out to be in, were waiting through that and were only you're out in ten years. We're gonna have even greater clarity about all of this. and I think what you're trying to get add is that in daily journalism or minute, two minute or second to second journalism like there was in the Trump era. There's no, a lot of this retrospective sort of looking back trying to sift through what was what one was not in what still stands well like it's been really good to have you back to do just that?
