From Interview of Supervisory Intelligence Analyst, Thursday, October 29, 2020, pages 85-86:

 

Mr. Somers is the majority chief investigative counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee

 

Mr. Somers: Okay. Were you aware that on December 17, 2016, the CIA expressed concern to the FBI about the lack of vetting for the Steele election reporting and believed it should not be included in the intelligence community assessment as it was Internet rumor?

ANALYST: I'm sorry. Do you have the date again? I apologize.

 

Mr. Somers: I'm sorry. December 17, 2016.

ANALYST: I was aware of that, yes.

 

Mr. Somers: You were aware of that at the time?

ANALYST: At the time, yes.

 

Mr. Somers: And you were aware that the CIA believed that it was Internet rumor?

ANALYST: Well, I don't believe that that is a CIA characterization. If I recall, that's actually a quote by someone who was characterizing what the CIA's position was.

 

Mr. Somers: Do you have any reason to question Jonathan Moffa's recollection that the intel section chief stated that the CIA viewed it as "Internet rumor"?

ANALYST: I have no reason to question Jon Moffa's comment on that, but I don't know if that's an exact quote.

 

Mr. Somers: Okay. You didn't have a separate conversation with the CIA where they said it was an Internet rumor?

ANALYST: No, I did not have a separate conversation.
