Steele's stunning pre-FISA confession: Informant needed to air Trump dirt before election © Getty Images If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI’s secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump’s campaign, it sat buried for more than two-and-a-half years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele’s now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign’s ties to Russia.
Steele’s client “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” the date of the 2016 election, Kavalec wrote in a typed summary of her meeting with Steele and Tatyana Duran, a colleague from Steele’s Orbis Security firm. The memos were unearthed a few days ago through open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United.

Here is the short take:
The US Government, through State, CIA and DOJ, all were aware that the Steele Dossier was coming from the Clinton Crime Machine, BEFORE the FISA warrants were applied for.
Very important. This is only going to get more interesting.
Has Kathleen Kavalec been fired?
She withheld documents from Congress.

It’s a coincidence!!
Russians hacked his mouth and made him say that!!
Macedonian hackers!!
There was a flood!!
Locusts!!
An old friend came in from out of town!!
Yes, it is. This is yuge. Can't spin this back.
Dingos ate my dossier!!!
what Trump dirt, pray tell?
so far, after all the investigations for something like 3 years, nobody’s come up with a single thing he did wrong
We are going to need a lot of Rope and quickly!, $10 says Comey is one of the redacted names.
Channeling Nehemiah Persoff: That was real careless.
Point of trivia: I believe Mr. Persoff is still with us, nearly 100 years old now.
Is it any wonder why Mueller never once mentioned the dossier or Fusion GPS or Glenn Simpson in his report?
Do you suppose that the “confession” about the origin of the dossier was provided to the FISA Court judges?
Ha, ha, ha, ha...right.
March 19, 2019 – Trump pulls ambassador nomination of State Department official who communicated with Steele and Ohr
Kathleen Ann Kavalec (Credit: public domain)
“A State Department official who was awaiting confirmation to be U.S. Ambassador to Albania communicated with the former British spy Christopher Steele and supplied information to a senior DOJ official after and before the 2016 presidential election.
Former State Department Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Ann Kavalec’s nomination was withdrawn recently by President Trump, according to a Senior White House official who spoke to SaraACarter.com.
Kavalec was awaiting to be confirmed as Ambassador to Albania, but information surfaced that she had personally met and was in communication with Steele before and after the 2016 presidential election. Kavalec, a long time State Department employee, worked under Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland. She was also a supporter of former President Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, giving a small donation of $250 in 2012 to the Obama Victory Fund and another $250 to Clinton in 2016.
(…) Kavalec, as well as her colleague Jonathan Winer, a former assistant to former Secretary of State John Kerry, supplied information they had collected from Steele to Bruce Ohr, said sources familiar with the congressional investigations. ...

1h1 hour agoIs Joe Biden’s presidential campaign currently under FBI/Intelligence community surveillance for his incredibly suspicious family ties to Ukraine? By the Democrats own police-state, surveillance rules you’d think they’d be calling for spying, no?

State and Justice Departments are still trying to bury this.
What’s really stunning is the “Trump” (Wray’s) FBI carrying water for Democrats just a few days ago. Key point from the story:
Everything else in the memo was redacted. The FOIA notes contain this explanation for the redactions: “Classified by FBI on 4/25/2019 — Class: SECRET.”
In other words, the FBI under Director Christopher Wray classified the document as “secret” just a few days ago. To add injury to insult, the FBI added this hopeful note: “Declassify on 12/31/2041.” That would be 25 years after the 2016 election.
And wray wants to bury it for 25 years. Barr has to know about this.
Orange Man Bad!
“Donald Trump ruined a space art project”
https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2019/may/07/how-donald-trump-ruined-a-space-art-project
Wray just removed all doubt. He’s another dirty cop.
p
President Trump can choose to declassify it.
JW President @TomFitton :
“Obama allowed his DOJ & FBI to spy on @realDonaldTrump. That’s the scandal of our generation & the collusion that needs to be investigated.
“Mueller pretending that this scandal wasn’t an issue shows you the corruption of the Mueller special counsel.”
The more that comes to light about this debacle, the more it PROVES that this was an actual attempted COUP, ran by the Obama Administration! This actually makes Watergate look like a cake walk!
If multiple people are not arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned or HANGED, then our fall into a Banana Republic is complete and we are truly just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic!!
I can honestly say that this makes me want to march on Washington, D.C. with guns, torches, rope, tar, feathers and SEVERAL rails!!!
