The interview questions Comey should have been asked

Kimberley Strassel:
...

3)Did you know Mr. Steele had been hired by Fusion GPS? Did FBI do any due diligence on Fusion, and discover its long record of being hired to dirty the reputations of its clients' political foes? If not, why not?

4)You say you knew dossier was funded by a "Democrat-aligned" group but you never knew which one. Why on earth not? Did FBI truly not care where info came from? Who was paying for it? Doesn't this go direct to source credibility?

5) Did you ask Steele who had ultimately hired him? If he claimed to not know wouldn't that be worrisome--that a "credible" source (and former spy!) was willing to work for/benefit an unknown client? If by contrast he refused to tell you, doesn't that undercut credibility?

6)You claim the "effort" was originally financed by a Republican source. You are aware, correct, that the actual dossier effort was only ever financed by the DNC and Clinton campaign?
...

8)The FBI must've known the fall news stories--particularly Yahoo News--came from Steele. Sourcing was obvious. Yet you told FISA court your "credible" source had not talked to media. Either u didn't follow up on stories before going to court, or Steele lied to you. Which?

9)You say nobody should ever lie to FBI. If Mr. Steele did lie, why has he not been prosecuted?

10)You admit dossier still "unverified" at the time you were fired. Yet you used specific unverified claims in it (Page) as basis of FISA warrant four times. Explain.
...
There is more.

It is curious that Comey was not asked these questions.  As he does his book tour, surely someone will eventually get around to asking pertinent questions.   If Mueller can prosecute Flynn for a nonconsequential lie why didn't FBI prosecute Hillary and her legal team for more consequential lies?
