WaPo: ‘A paid agent of the Clinton campaign approached Russian officials for damaging material..

Marc Thiessen confirms in the Washington Post:

“…the Clinton campaign proactively sought dirt on Trump from Russian government sources. They did it through cutouts. In April 2016, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS to compile incriminating information on Trump. Fusion GPS in turn hired Christopher Steele, a former British MI6 operative with sources among Russian government officials. The result was the salacious dossier, whose sources included “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin.” Steele’s work was paid for by Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. That means a paid agent of the Clinton campaign approached Russian officials for damaging material on Trump.”

BLP reported: “Preet Bharara’s Office Got Natalia Into The Country, Now His Gang Is Trying To Keep Her OUT So She Can’t Testify”

The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, then led by anti-President Trump activist Preet Bharara, played a key role in getting Natalia Veselnitskaya into the country in 2015-2016 on special Obama administration passes.

Wait, what? isn’t that collusion? Quick, someone tell mueller.


Interesting headline/article.

I wonder if the fix is in to provide cover for Clinton et al, in exchange for not charging Trump with collusion/obstruction.

This headline screams for a separate investigation of all things Mueller......

We shall see.

wonder if they know something is coming and they are trying to get out in front of it.


we shall see, sure puts Mueller et al in a position of “ what did you know and when” as you drag Trump through the Gauntlet.

The immunity, in whatever form, would be predicated on her not taking the 5th/i.e. refusing to answer a question, lying, or providing disinformation/misinformation.


If Sheryl Mills et al can get immunity re Hillary Emails then its only fair that this person gets it....

It’s a felony under federal election law, getting something in value from a foreign entity to use in a federal election campaign. When you pay any amount for something, you assign a value to it.

FBI SWAT raids on John Podesta, Marc Elias and Hillary Clinton to be televised live on CNN...or not.

Gotta be a little bit careful here. The Marc Thiessen WaPo piece is from August 2018.

The gist of the BLP article seems to be that they’ve got new info that reinforces the notion that the Trump Tower meeting was a setup. Apparently that Valnatskaya lawyer lady is acting like she’s willing to divulge some details about how the meeting came about — details that would be inconvenient for the deep staters. As a result they currently are trying to keep her out of the country.


And if you recall she was recently indicted...

We’ll see more of this matter of fact reporting on Democrat collusion with Russia because the Dems are now confident it will never be investigated by the DOJ.

Sure thing, and a spelling correction — it’s Veselnitskaya. She’s important because she can confirm that Fusion GPS was a player in setting up the Trump Tower meeting, which GPS has denied.
