Completely in on it: Emails reveal Obama's special protections for Steele dossier

"The emails include a discussion about using a private, non-government email system to forward "potentially sensitive information" from Steele.

The Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the State Department that produced the emails was filed after the government refused to respond to FOIA requests. Judicial Watch sought communications between State Department officials and Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence.

"Later in the redacted discussion, Winer changes the distribution list and writes, 'For this group only – [redacted]'. Secretary John Kerry’s Chief of Staff Jonathan Finer responds, 'As Jonathan predicted [redacted],'" JW said.

"No wonder Jonathan Winer, Steele's ally at the State Department, refused to talk to the DOJ IG, he seems to have circumvented the rules in pushing Steele's unreliable reports to his Obama State Department colleagues," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

"Our lawsuits have documented that the Obama-Kerry State Department was a hotbed of anti-Trump activity.""
