Michael Isikoff, the reporter who first broke the existence of a Trump dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, is now walking back the credibility of the information he was given. The Daily Caller reports:
The investigative reporter who broke the first story based on allegations from Christopher Steele offered a surprising assessment of the former British spy’s infamous dossier, which alleges a vast conspiracy of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
“Would you agree that a lot of what’s in the Steele dossier has been somewhat vindicated?” Mediaite columnist John Ziegler asked Michael Isikoff, a co-author of the book “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story on Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump.”
“No,” Isikoff responded in an interview released Saturday.
“You would not?” asked Ziegler.
The fact that Isikoff is now doubting the authenticity of the Steele dossier tarnishes the fact that his own article and the dossier has been used for the initial FISA warrant application that started this entire Russia investigation. An investigation started on false premises can only be described as a witch hunt.
