Obama State Dept. official admits free-flowing exchange of reports with Trump dossier author

I love the "So What" comments from the RP socialists. This is a political hit job. Financed by the Clinton Cartel. It's time for DOJ to go after the DNC and the Foundation as a criminal syndicate. // next Trump rally needs only one song- flash pics of HRC and the One in orange jump suits https://youtu.be/04F4xlWSFh0

If a Senior NCO or Officer had done something as egregious as what Mr. Winer claims in the following statement, they should be fired and reprimanded by their commanders.

"Further, Winer said he shared separate Trump-related material passed on by a Clinton contact with Steele – filling in the blanks regarding an exchange that was mentioned earlier this week in a Senate memo. And he acknowledged that material, originally from Clinton-tied activist/journalist Cody Shearer, made its way to the FBI.
“Given that I had not worked with Shearer and knew that he was not a professional intelligence officer, I did not mention or share his notes with anyone at the State Department. I did not expect them to be shared with anyone in the U.S. government,” wrote Winer, a former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state and former Libya special envoy. “But I learned later that Steele did share them -- with the FBI, after the FBI asked him to provide everything he had on allegations relating to Trump, his campaign and Russian interference in U.S. elections.”"

How stupid or ignorant are these professional bureaucrats? To publicly admit to malfeasance? This should rightfully come back and bite him and others involved in this fiasco.

Talk about the Washington 'revolving door' and 'the Deep State.'

After reading Mr. Winer's bio at the Middle East Institute's site, all I can say is "WTF?".
And talk about egotistical bombast - "In 1999, he received the Department’s second highest award, for having “created the capacity of the Department and the U.S. government to deal with international crime and criminal justice as important foreign policy functions." The award stated that "the scope and significance of his achievements are virtually unprecedented for any single official.""
Really? I don't think that he deserves that much credit, especially since the FBI has been doing this for more than 70 years (actually not long after it was founded in relative terms); long before Mr. Winer showed up at the State Department. I actually think that the credit should go to Ambassador Spruille Braden, the US Ambassador to Columbia at the time.
