Question, Doug, regarding the redacted Steele documents. If I understand the timeline correctly:

According to documents just released today, 2-Feb. 2016 FBI memorializes telling Steele not to have anything to do with the media. And the FBI was paying Steele, though I am not sure from the produced documents if it went back to the Feb. 2016.

What the hell? That is months before anyone claims that there was justification for opening an investigation.

May 2016 -- Fusion claims that they hired Steele.

June 2016 -- The very first "intel memo" by Steele that is supposedly provided to the FBI

NYT claims that no investigation of Trump was opened until July, and then on the basis of an Aussie diplomat's claim that someone in the Trump team may have known about Russia having Hillary e-mails.

Am I missing something?
