Mueller Takes Over “Trump Dossier” Probe After Intel Committee “Hits A Wall”

Now that the FBI and investigators from the Senate Intelligence Committee have given up on trying to verify the contents, Reuters is reporting that the infamous “Trump Dossier” hot potato has passed to Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team.
According to Reuters, Mueller has taken over the FBI inquiry into the dossier after it was widely reported earlier this year that the FBI failed to verify its most salacious allegations, but still used it to justify launching an investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
Three sources with knowledge of Mueller’s probe said his investigators have assumed control of multiple inquiries into allegations by U. S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the election to benefit Trump, a Republican.
Russia has repeatedly denied any meddling in the election.
The timing of the story is interesting, considering that only a few hours ago, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr admitted that the committee’s investigators had given up on trying to corroborate the document’s allegations.
