░░░░░░░░ heart of this What ░░░░░░░░ they actually tell the ░░░░░░░░ judge about the Steele ░░░░░░░░ Did they say this ░░░░░░░░ opposition research They said ░░░░░░░░ The FBI speculates that ░░░░░░░░ the identified U S ░░░░░░░░ You don t have ░░░░░░░░ say U S Personal ░░░░░░░░ could have said Hillary ░░░░░░░░ You could have said ░░░░░░░░ DNC was likely looking ░░░░░░░░ information that could be
