The FBI mess is about to go Chernobyl. The scandal reaches high up into the DOJ
Flopping Aces ^ | 12-07-17 | DrJohn

The events that have transpired over the last year are not a series of coincidences. There is a plan behind all of it.

Robert Mueller is not searching for the truth. He assembled a team to bring down Trump. That much has become overwhelmingly clear. Mueller has put together a team of rabid Trump haters. Not a single one is a Republican donor and most are democrat donors. Mueller, who is close friends with Comey, is also seeking to avenge Comey.

Democrats knew what was going on the entire time.

Let's look at what's happened. (Thank you, Chuck Ross, for the timeline. I have added more substance to it)

March: Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. Perkins Coie general counsel revealed this week that Fusion offered to continue Trump opposition research it had started while working for a Republican candidate.

April: Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the campaign and DNC, would serve as the bagman.

That month, Federal Election Commission records show that the Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie a total of $150,000 for legal services. The DNC paid the firm around $107,000. It is unclear how much of that went to Fusion GPS. Both the campaign and DNC would pay Perkins Coie hundreds of thousands more dollars throughout the campaign.

May: Free Beacon ends its contract with Fusion.

June: Fusion GPS hires former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his London-based firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. Steele discloses this in court filings earlier this year as part of a lawsuit he faces over the dossier. Steele said he worked for Fusion GPS from June through November.

June 20: Steele writes first memo of the dossier. It alleges that Trump used prostitutes during a visit to Moscow in 2013 and that the Kremlin was blackmailing him with the evidence. The memo also alleges that the Trump campaign was engaged in a well-orchestrated collusion campaign with Russian operatives.

July 5: Steele provides his research to an FBI contact, The New York Times has reported. The documents made their way to FBI counterintelligence chief Peter Strzock two weeks later.

July: Chatter began appearing on social media referring to damning information about Trump’s ties to Russia. Republican strategist Rick Wilson told The New York Times back in January, after the dossier was published, that he was first asked about the document by a reporter in July.

July 26: A Wall Street Journal reporter contacts Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser, about allegations made about him in the dossier. Page disclosed that detail last month in a lawsuit he filed against the parent company of Yahoo! News, which republished claims from the dossier last September.

Late July: The FBI opens a counterintelligence investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

(That would be the one signed by Peter Strzok)

Aug. 25: Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefs then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid about possible links between Trump associates and Russian operatives. According to The New York Times, officials in the meeting said that Brennan “indicated that unnamed advisers to Mr. Trump might be working with the Russians to interfere in the election.”

September: The FBI obtained a surveillance warrant from a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Carter Page. The application for the warrant reportedly cited the dossier as evidence.

(That would be the discredited dossier, paid for by Clinton campaign and the DNC, containing information from the Kremlin)

Late September: In court filings in London, where he is being sued, Steele says that he briefed reporters at several news outlets following instructions from Fusion GPS. Steele briefed The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The New Yorker and Yahoo! News.

Sept. 23: Yahoo News publishes an article that, it is now known, relied heavily on the dossier’s claims about Page. The article, from veteran journalist Michael Isikoff, contains allegations that Page met secretly with Russian government officials that July in Moscow. Page has denied the allegation and is suing Yahoo! over the article.

October: Steele met with FBI agents who offered to pay the former spy to continue his investigation of Trump.

Mid-October: Steele, again acting on directions from Fusion, met with reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Yahoo! News.

Somewhere in here associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr met with Christopher Steele.

Oct. 31: Earlier in October, Steele conducted an interview on Skype with Mother Jones reporter David Corn. Corn published a piece referring to Steele as a “Western intelligence official” who had compiled information on Trump’s ties to Russia.

November: The contract between the Democrats, Fusion and Steele ends along with the presidential campaign.

Sometime shortly after the election, Ohr meets with Glenn Simpson.

Mueller was a 72 year-old elitist, DC-insider, Bush/Clinton hack who had already been put out to pasture.

They brought him back for one final kamikaze mission, for the empire and the deep state.

What gives us the clue it’s “about to go”?

If the past is any indicator of the future, it will continue to “go on” as it has been.

Nothing to see here, move along...

Heard this before. The Deep Sh*t traitors will not allow themselves to be prosecuted. The rule of law is for little people.

I’ll believe there is America loving patriots in these government agencies when I actually witness one in action, until then, same old crap...

At least the Russian's can contain it, and it's 1/2 life might be less this mess.

I have yet to see a swampian helicopter pilot to try to save the day and sacrifice themselves....

“However, once is it is firmly established that the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump team was secured using the phony dossier- and democrats knew all along- there is going to be hell to pay”.

That’s why Rep. Jim Jordan is going to get the application for the warrant. It was one of his key points on an interview last night on FNC.

Wow! I just realized I traveled right through that area in the picture when playing “Stalker” with the Call of Chernobyl sandbox mod with Call of Misery mod on top of that.

Cool.

Duty exoskeleton with fully-upgraded Saiga-12 and Duty Camo AN-94.

Ok, now let’s see if there is even one Freeper who knows what I’m talking about.

;-)

and FBI will be cleansed and fixed.

Did you ever wander out into the radiation zone? That is one of my favorite missions, although I just play that right from the campaign with out any additional purchases, because of my low speed, high drag internet service.

Nothing will happen unless Trump fires Jeff Sessions and replaces him with someone with no ties to the DOJ or FBI. Surely there’s an honest state AG somewhere in this country.

In real life, violent pit bulls get put to sleep. I would not want to be in the shoes of some of these guys. I remember at the time of the original investigation into the emails, other FBI agents were pissed. Let them come forward and spill the beans for justice now.
