Former Presidential Candidate Under NEW Investigation
According to journalist Sarah Carter, the House Intelligence Committee is 
investigating former Secretary of State John Kerry over his possible role
 in the unverified anti-Trump dossier at the heart of the FBI's Russia probe.

The documents, colloquially known as the Steele Dossier, after Christopher 
Steele, the ex-British spy behind it – was funded by the Democratic National 
Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign. 

The Committee began quietly digging into Kerry's connections after a former 
colleague and friend published and an op-ed in the Washington Post detailing
 his friendship with Steele. 

Carter explains:

Jonathan Winer, a long-time colleague of Kerry and who served as the

former envoy for Libya during his tenure at the Department, wrote an

 opinion piece in the Washington Post on Feb. 8, defending his relationship

with Steele and his role in the infamous dossier.

Winer attempted to pre-empt questions that the committee would ask

regarding his role by admitting in his article that he was a long-time friend

of Steele. He also established his close working relationship with Kerry

saying, “in 2013, I returned to the State Department at the request of

Secretary of State John F. Kerry, whom I had previously served as Senate

counsel.”

But information uncovered by the Senate Judiciary Committee and revealed

in its criminal referral of Steele to the Department of Justice that several

Clinton allies were also connected to the State Department and the dossier.

Sidney Blumenthal, a close confidant of Hillary Clinton, and Cody Shearer,

a former journalist who went on to work for the Clintons, appeared to be

feeding Steele information.

Winer said in his op-ed that “in late September, I spoke with an old friend,

Sidney Blumenthal, whom I met 30 years ago when I was investigating

the Iran-contra affair for then-Sen. Kerry and Blumenthal was a reporter

at The Post. At the time, Russian hacking was at the front and center in

the 2016 presidential campaign. The emails of Blumenthal, who had a

long association with Bill and Hillary Clinton, had been hacked in 2013

through a Russian server.
