Democrats Go Silent on Trump Dossier as House Intelligence Republicans Seek More Answers

Democrats have gone silent on the Trump dossier in recent weeks, as Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee have begun to find out more information about it. FBI and Justice Department officials recently told House Intelligence Committee investigators that they could not verify any of the document’s assertions about collusion, according to a report, and not one Democrat has made a peep in response — in stark contrast with the past.

Breitbart News reached out to the offices of every Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee last Wednesday asking for a response and did not receive a single reply.

The dossier’s credibility was also called into question after the bombshell revelation that the Hillary Clinton campaign funded it, despite earlier denials. The admission came after the committee subpoenaed the bank records of Fusion GPS, the firm that produced the dossier.

Democrats first argued that it was normal opposition research — despite the fact that it was brought to the FBI and potentially used to justify surveillance and an investigation of the Trump campaign. They then argued that conservative media outlet Free Beacon paid for it too, although the outlet had stopped its funding before the dossier research was commissioned. Then they argued that it did not matter who paid for it, but whether the allegations contained in it were true.

Mueller and Comey behind bars is the only solution. And take Hillary with you.

The last two weeks destroyed the democrats for the foreseeable future. The new tax legislation will seal the deal.

Won't fly. If the dossier was used to justify illegal surveillance, then it matters a very great deal.

Comey was the prosecutor in the Martha Stewart case.

He could find stuff on her little stock sale, but couldn't find anything on Hillary?

Actually, she went to jail for lying to the FBI, not for the actual stock sale - that’s why Hilly was never put under oath by the FBI when they chatted with her.

Cnn has been 24/7 all about that Access Hollywood tape and how Trump via leak from NYT’s said he wanted it investigated about possible being a fake tape.

Would hate to have to be at a major airport these days to have to hear nothing but this fake news the whole time waiting for a plane.

The CIA, NSA and FBI, in spite of all their propaganda otherwise, have always been political agencies. Probably the MOST politically corrupt agencies within Fed.gov, and that is logical - because of the immense power they have and ultimately political nature of their decisions.

Obama has taken that and made it 10X worse.

Personally, I would like to see all 3 agencies taken to the woodshed and punished with large staff and budget cuts.

Was a FISA warrant granted as a result of the Trump Dossier?

I’d have to add the IRS to that “MOST politically corrupt” grouping.

He is too busy wondering who is going to be accused of sex harassment next.
