Politics Oppo Firm Behind Trump Dossier Is Also A Hired Gun For Planned Parenthood
Chuck Ross Reporter 11:33 PM 01/11/2017
The opposition research firm that hired a former British spy to dig up dirt on Donald Trump is the same shady outfit that was hired by Planned Parenthood to put a positive spin on videos showing the sale of baby parts.
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Washington D.C.-based Fusion GPS is the firm that hired Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the salacious but unsubstantiated 35-page Trump dossier that was published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday.
Earlier on Wednesday, The Wall Street Journal identified Steele, who runs a U.K.-based business intelligence firm called Orbis Business, as the author of the memo. (RELATED: Report Identifies British Spy Who Wrote Trump Dossier)

But after Trump emerged as the GOP nominee, the unidentified Republican donor dropped the project. But Democrats who support Hillary Clinton had an interest in the information, according to The Times."
‘Profound dismay’: DNI Clapper meets with Trump over ‘unverified’ dossier leak
Published time: 12 Jan, 2017 11:07
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in a rare statement that he met with President-elect Donald Trump to express “profound dismay” at the recent leak of intelligence documents.
At the heart of the matter is a document first published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday, which Clapper stressed was “not a US Intelligence Community product” in his press release Wednesday evening.
In their Wednesday meeting, Clapper says he and Trump discussed how the documents were circulated around the media and members of Congress before the intelligence community (IC) “became aware of it.”

Clapper also said the allegations had come from a “private security company,” and that US spy agencies had “not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable.”
He went on to state, however, that “part of our obligations is to ensure that policymakers are provided with the fullest possible picture of any matters that might affect national security.”
Clapper’s statement that the dossier came from a private security company aligns with a report from the Wall Street Journal, which stated that Christopher Steele, a director of the London-based Orbis Business Intelligence Ltd., compiled the report, citing “people familiar with the matter.” Steele’s business partner, Christopher Burrows, said he would not “confirm or deny” that claim.
However, users of the website 4chan – the largely anonymous message board known for launching memes – claims the story involving Trump, prostitutes, urination and a Moscow hotel room previously occupied by the Obamas originated on the site as a gag.
Calling the documents “fanfiction,” a user says that he sent the document to “anti-Trump pundit” Rick Wilson, who gave it to the CIA, which then classified the document in its official intelligence reports on the election. Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) also copped to his own role in spreading the disinformation to the FBI.

Trump may outwardly have shut up about the birth certificate, but I believe he has it, and many others, filed away waiting for the proper timing.
Trump has turned into a true Commander In Chief, both militarily and for us civilians.
If, after a year or so, we see the wall, immigration REALLY cleaned up and jobs exploding in America ... who would not follow him into whatever battle he would ask of us ?

Another good (but minor) reason to shut down the funding of Planned Parenthood.
I'm staying away from everything Trump until he's sworn in.
The "news" is fast and varied and some or a lot requires time I don't care to use discerning its validity or not.
We haven't had so much real and true information come from a politician (or ANY public official) like we had yesterday from Trump in Trump Tower since forever.
Trump should drain the swamp and build another hotel over it.
Yank all fed money from these programs. Start with PP with “the arts!” a close second.
Was it Mitt or one of the Koch brothers??
Why does none of this surprise me?
Evil is incestuous. These liars and schemers are all in bed with each other.
