Obama's Top FBI Lawyer Distances Himself From Steele Dossier As DOJ Investigation Looms | Zero Hedge

Obama's Top FBI Lawyer Distances Himself From Steele Dossier As DOJ Investigation Looms | Zero Hedge: James Baker - the Obama FBI's top attorney (general counsel) said on Friday that he was skeptical about the Steele dossier, and "concerned" about its veracity when the agency received it prior to the 2016 US election, according to the Daily Caller's Chuck Ross.

"It was more information that we viewed, that I viewed, skeptically from the outset, and I was concerned about it and had a jaundiced eye, or looked at it with a jaundiced eye right from the outset," Baker told MSNBC's Chuck Todd, adding "Steele was and had been a source that we thought was reliable. He’s reporting all this information. It looks alarming. We took it seriously, but we tried to vet it."
