A copy of the little-publicized second dossier in the Trump-Russia affair, acquired by RealClearInvestigations, raises new questions about the origins of the Trump investigation, particularly about the role of Clinton partisans and the extent to which the two dossiers may have been coordinated or complementary operations.
The second dossier -- two reports compiled by Cody Shearer, an ex-journalist and longtime Clinton operative -- echoes many of the lurid and still unsubstantiated claims made in the Steele dossier, and is receiving new scrutiny. On Sunday, Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said in a TV interview that his panel is shifting its investigative focus concerning the origins of the Russia investigation from the FBI to the State Department. This probe will include the Shearer dossier.
In late September 2016, Sidney Blumenthal, a close Clinton confidant and colleague of Shearer’s, passed Shearer’s dossier on to State Department official Jonathan M. Winer, a longtime aide to John Kerry on Capitol Hill and at Foggy Bottom.....
The copy of the Shearer memo provided to RealClearInvestigations is made up of two four-page reports, one titled “Donald Trump—Background Notes—The Compromised Candidate,” the other “FSB Interview” – the initials standing for the Russian Federal Security Service.
The only Trump campaign figures named are Donald Trump himself and his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, misspelled as “Manniford.” Shearer may be hinting at a third person when he quotes, without substantiation, a Turkish businessman saying a Russian source knows of a “cut out” or intermediary through whom the prospective “president of the U.S.” would communicate “into President Putin’s office." The version of the two memos RCI has seen is undated.

Hillary’s friend Sid Blumenthal sure pops up in the strangest places.
“Since the Trump name wasn’t worth much at that stage,” Shearer continues, “Trump’s only luck was in establishing relationships with oligarchs who needed someone to help them launder their money; which is what Trump did in return for some capital.” Shearer offers no source for these allegations, or proof of these transactions.
The amusing thing here is that Hillary desperately tried in 2008 to convince the Obama White House to let her hire and bring Sid onto the State Department team. ‘No’ was the response....twice.
The Obama White House knew exactly what Sid was capable of, and wanted to avoid his behavior. Hillary refused to accept that....using Foundation funds to hire him instead.
I believe they discussed classified info. She said he was just a friend whom she talked to.
There were no "investors" to be had in Moscow in the early 1990s. The oligarchs hadn't yet gotten started. There was no liquidity. Shearer is an idiot.
So did the FBI get a FISA surveillance warrant on Cody Shearer to find out exactly who the “Turkish businessman” and the “FSB guy” were?
No? They weren’t interested in that? That tells you all you need to know that this was a crude frame-up and Comey’s FBI was part of the frame-up.
“Shearer quotes a conversation with former CIA officer Robert Baer, again hinting at another intermediary between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. Shearer writes that Baer told him “the Russians had established an encrypted communication system with a cut out between the Trump campaign and Putin.”
I’m not Q or Sundance, but when the dossier first came out over a year ago, I said this smells like something Sid Viscious would do.
Been watching this guy for years spread scandal and disinfortmation world wide. He’s a real piece of work.
Someone needs to kick his ass bad.

Sid needs to be put on an Arkancide/suicide list if Brennan is exposed any further.
Long article. Still ‘nothing there.’ A rehash of already known stuff.
Known by you doesn’t mean it is generally known. Why post such an ego serving post?
You can ignore the third sentence if it makes you feel better.
I agree with you, MHGinTN. The more exposure any of this gets, the better it will be.
This is the biggest scandal in American history, it is getting ready to blow up. I follow Dan Bongino on this, and he has been right on nearly everything up to now...he thinks (and I believe it) that their house of cards on this is coming down.
And this thread has so few replies. I think it is just hard for a lot of people to absorb.
I did like this segment from the story:
“...Shearer did not respond to phone calls and emails seeking comment. Attempts to reach Winer by email were unsuccessful. And efforts to reach Blumenthal through his publisher were unsuccessful...”
Uh huh. Making themselves scarce. And for good reason.
Nrennan is the traitor, the one who fed fabricated data to foreign operatives and Sid Vicious Blumenthal, AND HARRY REID, in an effort to manufacture a coup. Brennan should be tried and face a firing squad. He is a huge enemy inside the wire.
Yep...I think he is filthy up to his neck in all of this. And I think it is going to come out. He was part of it, of that I have no doubt.
Scum.
