Congressional Investigators Struggling To Find Alleged Dossier Source
[Daily Caller] Congressional investigators are struggling to track down an alleged source for some of the most salacious claims made in the Steele dossier.

Congressional committees investigating Russian interference in the presidential campaign have tried for months to track down Sergei Millian, a Belarus-born translator who serves as chairman for a small trade group called the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce, ABC News reported.

Millian was identified by The Wall Street Journal, ABC News and The Washington Post in 2017 as the unwitting source for some of the dossier’s most jarring and unverified allegations, including that the Kremlin is blackmailing President Donald Trump and that members of the campaign coordinated with Russian operatives.

Millian is reportedly referred to as "Source D" and "Source E" ‐ and described as a "close associate of Trump" ‐ in the dossier, which was written by former British spy Christopher Steele.

#1 Deripaska’s American lobbyist, Adam Waldman, claimed in text message exchanges in 2017 with Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat, that he was in touch with Steele.

The clandestine communications of Sen. Mark Warner, a wonderment that will likely go nowhere.

#2 If our intelligence is having trouble getting to the bottom of this maybe they just don't want to.

If they were worth anything, this ought to be a slam dunk.

That would make him quite difficult to locate.

#6 Methinks Steele dreamed a lot of this stuff up and gave names to "sources" during a quick walk through a Moscow cemetery.

#7 And next month they'll be looking for 'Sources F to M' - this fucking circus has gone on far too long.

#8 Whether or not Millian is fictitious, track the money with the dossier if it can be tracked.

#10 If you are struggling with this simple truth, you have no business being lawmakers.
You are pathetic and need to be shaken out of that tree.

I saw it here where I AM more than a year ago.
