Blumenthal was not a source for Steele’s dossier. He also didn’t work at the State department. Blumenthal was friends with Cody Shearer, who wrote a second memo that was passed along to Steele. Steele never did anything with that memo except forward it on to the FBI. https://t.co/W3KRltSfjp— Natasha Bertrand (@NatashaBertrand) February 7, 2018
