Sheesh - when I first glanced at this post's headline, I read it as 'WaPo - A Paid agent of the Clinton campaign...'

Well I suppose I misread the headline - but its almost an accurate statement (they actually are an unPaid agent of the Clinton campaign - they provide their service au gratis).

"Marc Thiessen confirms in the Washington Post:

“…the Clinton campaign proactively sought dirt on Trump from Russian government sources."

In the Washington Post?

That's a Boom.

The only thing new about this is that it appears in the WP under one of their columnists, Marc Thiessen’s, by line. Until the corrupt FBI/DOJ is cleansed of Clinton/Obama supporters the perpetrators and their accomplices in the legacy media will continue to cover their asses by pointing the finger at the Trump campaign to distract the general public.

The article links to this FOX article with some important details:

Mystery solved? Timeline shows how Russian lawyer got into US for Trump Jr. meeting (07/14/2017)

“Ms. Veselnitskaya was subsequently paroled into the U.S. several times between 2015 and 2016, ending in February 2016. In June 2016, she was issued a B1/B2 nonimmigrant visa by the U.S. Department of State,” a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Thursday night.

DHS officials also said that it was their agency “in concurrence with the U.S. Attorney's Office of Southern District of New York” which paroled Veselnitskaya into the U.S. Fox News confirmed through court documents that Veselnitskaya initially “applied for a visa to enter the United States, but was denied.”

Preet Bharara was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York at the time the parole was granted. Veselnitskaya was issued a “Significant Public Benefit Parole” document on Sept. 25, 2015, according to DHS, which expired on Jan. 7, 2016. Veselnitskaya requested an extension to continue her work on the case, but the Southern District of New York’s attorneys’ office denied her request.

“She was not granted a second parole by our office,” SDNY spokesman James Margolin told Fox news in an email. “Her case-related immigration parole ended early in 2016, and it was not renewed by us.”

The U.S. attorney’s office told Fox News on Thursday that Veselnitskaya was indeed granted initial parole by their office, but did not know who, specifically, issued the “piece of paper.”

“Somebody said that her visa or passport to come into the country was approved by Attorney General Lynch, now maybe that’s wrong, I just heard that a little while ago…[that] she was here because of Lynch,” Trump said at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday in Paris.

Prior to DHS pointing fingers at the Department of State, a State spokesperson told Fox News that they had “no further information to provide.” The State Department told Fox News Wednesday that the Department is prohibited by the Immigration and Nationality Act from discussing individual visa cases, and told Fox News that all visa applications are adjudicated on a case-by-case basis.

The State Department did not respond to Fox News’ request to confirm that they issued Veselnitskaya a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa, or comment on Veselnitskaya’s current immigration status.

If Veselnitskaya doesn’t want to come to the US to appear before Congress and/or a court over her role in trying to get the Trumps to do something re the Magnitsky Law or otherwise,

CAN THE US AG GRANT HER A LIMITED IMMUNITY TO GIVE A DEPOSITION TO US OFFICIALS IN A NEUTRAL PLACE, SAY, SWITZERLAND, SWEDEN OR THE VATICAN?

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.

An issue would be whether she would be allowed to have legal counsel with her (as happens in Depositions.

I would love for Little Miss Snit to talk about any connections to the Clinton criminal family, esp. Elias, Steele, Ohr, Perkings-Coie as a firm, etc.

Any comments? All are welcome here.

They think if they throw us the Clintons, we will be sated and come to an accommodation.

Wrong, but it’s a fun process regardless. From this end, that is.

Comey was right. Hillary was right. Mueller was right. There was collusion between Russia and a 2016 presidential campaign.

Fusion was on Russia’s payroll. The Podestas were on Russia’s payroll. Steele was contracted tp Deripaska. The Clintons were taking money from Russia by the shovels-full. Veselnitskaya was Fusion, brought in by Lynch and Preet Bharara (later fired by Trump...)

Fusion’s simultaneous three-way relationship with DNC, Russia, and FBI allowed all three to collaborate while providing a modicum of deniability.

The inability of libtards to recognize the irony used to be mind-boggling.

After two years of this unadulterated BS, its mind-numbing

However, ya gotta say for Brenner, Clapper even the Comeys and rest of the deep-state, brilliant execution of de-stabilizing the Trump administration. They keep working it, regime-change is on the horizon. We just sit and watch.

(HAT TIP DETECTIVE) This summarizes some of the corruption and lying between the Clinton campaign,
the Obama administration, the FBI, the media and others
. It appears that there were several felonies committed.

How Clinton operatives pushed now-debunked Trump-Russia server conspiracy
The Washington Times ^ | January 23, 2019 | Rowan Scarborough / FR Posted by detective

The Clinton campaign’s operation to spread a now-debunked story on a Russian bank-Donald Trump computer linkage went further than previously known, according to new congressional testimony. It turns out that at least two Clinton operatives went inside the Justice Department to sell the allegation.

The phony Democrat-pitched narrative went like this: The Trump Organization maintained a secret computer server at Trump Tower directly tied to Moscow’s Alfa Bank, whose partners are linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But cybersleuths traced the server’s IP address not to Moscow, but to a spam operation outside Philadelphia that spit out hotel marketing pitches, including the Trump Organization‘s. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...

===================================

We, the people, know "so little," (smirk) for example:

<><> the dossier was handed off by Fusion GPS employee, Nellie Ohr, to her husband, DOJ official Bruce Ohr,

<><> with a sprinkle of DNC fairy dust, the dossier became the "real thing"....

<><> the basis of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants,

<><> specifically targeting Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page,

<><> signed off by the Obama administration,

<><> high mucky-muck FBI director James Comey and deputy, Andrew McCabe jumped in feet-first,

Wow. Aint this a shocker? Ohr was later (cough) "demoted" over his involvement.
