By December outrage of the Obama FBI abuses was omnipresent; in seven hours of testimony before House Permanent Select Intelligence Committee (HPSCI) Dep. Dir. Andrew McCabe made statements that contradicted evidence, and was unable to provide any substantive examples of verified allegations in the ''Steele dossier''. When pushed for examples of what was verified in the anti-Trump dossier, McCabe was only able to cite the fact that Trump campaign advisor Carter Page traveled to Moscow — McCabe could not verify anything about the meetings that Page supposedly had. McCabe claimed he could not recall — despite documents with McCabe’s own signature on them establishing his the fact of his knowledge of the dossier’s financing and provenance.<ref>https://www.dailywire.com/news/24938/report-mccabe-contradicts-himself-testimony-unable-ryan-saavedra</ref><ref>https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/dec/25/fbi-says-russia-dossiers-collusion-charges-unsubst/</ref>

Sometime around Thanksgiving 2016 Simpson met with Obama Dep. Attn. Gen. Bruce Ohr while President-elect Trump was selecting his cabinet, and discussed the ''Steele dossier'', the FBI's Russia investigation, and what Simpson considered the distressing development of Trump’s victory. The ''Steele dossier'' had been in the hands of the FBI for some five months, and the FISA warrant on Carter Page had been approved more than two months prior.
