One of the hottest debates inside DC circles is whether or not to release the testimony of Glenn R. Simpson (founder of research firm Fusion GPS), who spent ten hours talking to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the Steele Dossier. That debate ended abruptly on Tuesday when Sen Diane Feinstein decided to release the testimony. “‘My understanding was that they believed Chris at this point — that they believed Chris might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump organization,’ Simpson said. Using the parlance of spies and law enforcement officials, Simpson said the FBI had a ‘walk-in’ whistleblower from someone in Trump’s organization.”

+ And, in case you need another reminder that the drama never stops, Steve Bannon is out at Breitbart.
