After more than a year of lying denials, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee now stand exposed as the funders of that salacious dossier alleging years of collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump.
The FBI stands exposed, too — as having agreed to keep paying for the same research after Trump was elected.
All of which raises lots of disturbing questions, plus the possibility that if anyone colluded with Moscow, it was Team Hillary. The Washington Post reported that Clinton and the DNC paid millions to a DC law firm, Perkins Coie, which in turn hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump.
Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who compiled the 35-page dossier containing information he claimed came from Russian government and intel officials.
But Fusion has its own Kremlin ties, having done paid work to try to reverse the sanctions imposed in the Magnitsky Act, named for a Russian whistleblower tortured and killed in Moscow — work that allegedly included smear campaigns against Magnitsky and Bill Browder, his top champion in the West.
Little wonder Fusion GPS has been stonewalling Congress’ efforts to get to the bottom of this, with company officials taking the Fifth Amendment.
And why the FBI has been resisting congressional subpoenas for information on its role in the whole matter.
What we had here wasn’t a leak from intelligence sources, but a piece of opposition research — contracted and paid for by President Trump’s opponents and prepared by a firm with a record of Russian-linked smears — which the FBI glommed onto.
Indeed, it looks very much like the whole Trump “collusion” probe was prompted by the Democrat-commissioned hit job. The same dossier seems to have been the FBI’s pretext for FISA warrants on Trump officials.
Meanwhile, the latest disclosures about the FBI, the Clintons and the Russian uranium scheme raise big questions about former FBI chief Robert Mueller — who’s now the special counsel investigating Russian meddling in the 2016 race. Who investigates the investigator?
I bet Bill Clinton gets the job
Hard not to find someone that’s not a swamp creature in that town.
This article says....
WINNING!!
“I bet Bill Clinton gets the job”
That is exactly what I was going to say. You beat me to it.
We have a few people who think Mueller and/or Rosenstein and/or Sessions are doing it.
LOL.
Nobody or Loretta Lynch- Eric Holder
SOP in the swamp seems to be to appoint the person most responsible to chair the investigation.
After 9\11, Gorelick was appointed to look into who had built a wall between the various agencies that should have been working together to protect America.. She was the one who built the wall!
Back in January, Carl Bernstein said Steele was an Ambassador to Moscow. Which is it?
This case is already closed. Didn’t you hear? Hillary said she didn’t know anything about the “dossier” until it was reported in the news.
(I LOL’d at work while typing that. Can’t even think it with a straight face.)
We need to petition for Rudy.
This is old news.
Why would anyone investigate old news?
This has already been debunked.
Why would anyone investigate something already debunked?
This is in the past.
What criminal justice organization ever investigates things that happened in the past? Don’t we want to look forward?
(I think that about covers it. Did I miss anything?)
Oops... almost forgot:
What difference, at this point, does it make?????
I’ll sign it.
I offer up two nominees for consideration:
Jim Robinson
Rudy Giuliani
Either one would an excellent job. Plus the pool of trustworthy sources is very small so we might as well choose from the Cream of the Crop.
:From 1990 to 1992, Steele worked under diplomatic cover as an MI6 agent in Moscow, serving at the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Moscow”
He worked at the embassy but was not an ambassador:

Rush and Laura Ingraham! That wouldn’t be any more biased than Mueller and Rosenstein investigating President Trump, especially not after hiring all of Hillary’s crooked lawyers, which was probably a smart move so they could get rid of the evidence they knew about.
Rudy G
I would like to see Jay Sekulow become the special counsel. But, no matter who is appointed the libs will scream like stuck pigs.
Greg Jarrett would be good.
