Giuliani invokes Woodward on collusion👇

#WoodwardBook is very superficial on this topic. When it does make a claim it gets stuff WRONG. 2 examples:

Woodward: “The sources that Steele used for his dossier had not been polygraphed, which made their information uncorroborated” 1/

Some Steele's sources' info had been corroborated at the time. FBI Dir Comey's declassified notes of what he told Priebus:

"I explained that the analysts from all three agencies agreed it was relevant and that portions of the material were corroborated by other intelligence.” 2/

But more BIZARRELY what on earth is Woodward saying?

Woodward: “The sources that Steele used for his dossier had not been polygraphed, which made their information uncorroborated”

Because Steele's sources weren't polygraphed, their info cannot be considered corroborated? 🙄 3/

#Woodwardbook: Priebus was shocked! shocked! Flynn had lied to him and White House about Russia call.

BUT: Flynn's plea docs and leaked McFarland emails show PRIEBUS and others knew—in Dec'16—Flynn talked sanctions with Russia.

Not a whisper of that evidence in Woodward book 4/

Woodward: “Priebus had asked Flynn many times about any discussions. Flynn had firmly denied discussing the sanctions with Ambassador"

Repeating this Priebus LIE happens when:

1. You haven't been following Russia investigation closely
2. You depend on Priebus as your source 5/5
