In short, at the rate things are going, Robert Mueller may very soon announce the Special Prosecutor operation will be winding down. And gawd, will the Establishment Media and Hollywood Left have a apoplectic fit if that happens!

From the article:

It is not coincidental that just as scrutiny over the 2016 FBI FISA court application gains traction in congress and media, the insider intelligence community started leaking to the New York Times about the insignificance of the Steele Dossier as it relates to the FISA court application. Look, over there, it was George Papadopoulos; not the DOJ FISA construct that was used by the FBI to launch surveillance upon candidate Trump. Swear.

Laughable.

Predictable.

For more than a year the Steele Dossier was the most valuable evidence to the Russian narrative; then, poof, in the blink-of-an-eye, not so much – it became a risk. Funny that. The transparency of motive is brutally obvious, too many FBI and DOJ people at risk now. The trail is too easy to follow.

It was only a matter of time before Fusion-GPS spoke up toward the same goal of track-covering. Yesterday Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch [Hi Glenn] posted an Op-Ed in the New York Times attempting further distance.

"Conspicuously absent from the Fusion Op-Ed is any mention of Glenn Simpson’s wife, Mary B Jacoby, and her involvement therein. Additionally their explanations are devoid of the prior meeting or contact with DOJ Deputy Attorney Bruce Ohr, the guy who was demoted for meeting with them without telling anyone. Another curious missing detail is Simpson, Jacoby and Fritsch hiring Bruce Ohr’s wife Nellie Ohr to work on the “Trump project”."

"Nope. Nothing to see here, move along, move along."

...that brought us the 18-month-long ‘vast Russian conspiracy’ narrative...

Ironic that this whole leftwing conspiracy was brought to you by they woman who complained bitterly in the '90s about a phantom "vast right wing conspiracy".

Closing points from the article below. Check out the last red bullet point. That would be SO warranted and so sweet. Lock him up!
Sometime this month, after the initial Inspector General Michael Horowitz release, House Judiciary Chair Bob Goodlatte and Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley will likely call for a Special Counsel to investigate the upper-level management of the FBI and DOJ.

We should support that approach. The SC can quickly put a Grand Jury together and start presenting the IG investigative evidence, as well as enforceable subpoenas for witnesses.

There’s a lot of different down-stream legal issues:

All of the origination details are part of the minutia that will surface in the next 30 days. Devin Nunes, Bob Goodlatte and Chuck Grassley using the Judiciary and Intelligence Committees to collect evidence and tell the public everything outlined HERE and more.

Just how can they distance the dossier writer from the FISA issuer when they are married?

This looks like a job for Mr Peabody and Sherman.

I can’t wait to see Sundance accept his much deserved Pulitzer for his work on this. Much more work involved here than W and B copying down what deep throat told them.
sarc. (not for Sundance’s work being dexerving but for the sham that the Pulitzer has become).

It's pretty clear by this point that the “dossier sources” reporting to Steele were this Prof. Mifsud character, Sergei Millian, and a woman who may or may not be named Olga Vinogradova, who told Papadopolous that she was Putin's niece, but wasn't. The only question is whether these characters were reporting directly to Steele, or whether Papadopolous was relaying things they said to Steele, while Papadopolous pocketed the Fusion GPS money. Papadopolous seems to have been living the high life in London - drinking it up at a high-end London wine bar with the Aussie ambassador - without any apparent source of income, as he wasn't being paid by the Trump campaign for his “services.”
