The FBI inquiry into alleged Russian collusion in the 2016 US presidential election has been given a second memo that independently set out many of the same allegations made in a dossier by Christopher Steele, the British former spy.
The second memo was written by Cody Shearer, a controversial political activist and former journalist who was close to the Clinton White House in the 1990s.

Unlike Steele, Shearer does not have a background in espionage, and his memo was initially viewed with scepticism, not least because he had shared it with select media organisations before the election.
However, the Guardian has been told the FBI investigation is still assessing details in the Shearer memo and is pursuing intriguing leads.
One source with knowledge of the inquiry said the fact the FBI was still working on it suggested investigators had taken an aspect of it seriously.
It raises the possibility that parts of the Steele dossier, which has been derided by Trumps supporters, may have been corroborated by Shearers research, or could still be.

Cody Shearer and his twin sister, married to Strobe Talbot, were DUMPSTER DIVERS...literally, looking for dirt on Clintons enemies.....he is VILE and EVIL!
It raises the possibility that parts of the Steele dossier, which has been derided by Trumps supporters, may have been corroborated by Shearers research, or could still be.
It also raises the possibility that it was taken FROM
the Shearer research.
“The second memo was written by Cody Shearer, a controversial political activist and former journalist who was close to the Clinton White House in the 1990s.”
AND... the second memo is based on THAT EXPERIENCE.
Just like the first ‘dossier’ which was compiled on Hillary at the request of Obama during the DNC runoff between him and Hillary. Obama didn’t have to resort to using it to win, so it sat. Then Trump won so it was dusted off, sent to the UK/RUSSIA for a re-write, and then brought back to McCain to use against TRUMP.
The FBI showed it to Trump and said, “This is the kind of report that COULD be used against you. Let us do as we please or we will use it.
You know the rest of the story.
Good point!
Buy more rope
Those two are/were TRUE Kool-aid drinkers.
.
One contrived collection of lies is as good as another...
.
Perhaps this is why Grassley requested all of the correspondence between Cody Shearer and John Podesta.
There is a wealth of information at www.alamo-girl.com tying the Clintons to Cody Shearer and his black hat work for YEARS!

“Shearer research” = Good Weed while at keyboard.

Putting as much dust in the air and seeds of doubt as they can before the release and tonight’s speech. Those who want to believe Trump is guilty will read it as fact, it’s the never ending MSM snowball of unproven claims and counter claims.
Cody Shearer is a good candidate for an interview with the special counsel Mueller. Easy to set and activate a perjury trap with this man who so carelessly makes the most evil conclusions and accusations about everybody who does not see things his way.
Yes, it is entirely possible that first the Clinton machine & Fusion GPS hired Shearer for standard opposition research, then they needed to up the ante (by enlisting the FBI on their side) so they got Steele to effectively republish the opposition research under his own name, thereby wrapping the baseless conjecture in an aura of “intelligence” from a “former MI6 agent”.
Maybe, just maybe, the first FISA application was based on the Shearer memo, and when it was denied they drafted Steele to polish it up before representing it, maybe to the same judge or maybe to a different judge.
IF germaphobe Trump did a dirty romp in in Moscow I’d say that train left the station and is no longer blackmail bait
Correct me if Im wrong but isnt blackmail about giving into someone to keep secrets?
And while as morally repugnant as, say, Al Gore requesting happy endings to his masssges - or any other number of political figures engaging in adultery - not illegal or impeachable
So Steele gets brought up on a plagiarism charge.
There's a lot of B.S. to unpack in that single sentence. Three qualifiers, "possibility", "may have been", and "could still be" show the statement is purely speculation. That, and the underlying stupidity that one fake document would cooperate a second fake document.
SO now there are two dossiers. If one didn’t pan out the other might????
These people are pathetic and slimy.
Certainly possible.
I stopped reading right there.
Wow. Excellent analysis of the timeline is on the dossier and the puzzle pieces all fit. It makes a lot more sense that the real underlaying document is about Hillary. It also fits with the involvement of McCain who wanted to destroy Trump by any means necessary.
