Nunes question Obama officials on when they got dirty dossier

Washington Times:
One question asks, “When and how did you first become aware of any of the information contained in the Steele dossier?”

And, “Was President Obama briefed on any information contained in the dossier prior to Jan. 5, 2017.”

Then-FBI Director James Comey personally briefed Mr. Trump on the dossier on Jan. 6.
...
Mr. Nunes also discovered through persistent document requests to the FBI that the bureau authorized payments to Mr. Steele to continue investigating Mr. Trump as president-elect and possibly as president. But it fired him after he went to the press in October 2016 to disclose his FBI collaboration.

And Mr. Nunes discovered that Mr. Steele lied to the FBI when he denied being the source for a Yahoo News story. Based on his denial, the FBI used the story as corroboration for the dossier in wiretap warrant applications — four times in nearly a year. Mr. Steele admitted in a London court filing that he was indeed the Yahoo source.
The questions appear to have been sent to selective people outside the DOJ and FBI.  It is a good area to probe to see the people working behind the scenes to push this unverified documents of allegations against Trump.

Here is a list of the questions.
