And now, a definition (1), that I found on Google, of the efforts of the MSM, the DNC, and their tools:

A new report by the Washington Post reveals a very senior FBI official shared intelligence with dossier author and former British spy, Christopher Steele.
Christopher Steele has many old contacts at the FBI from when he was a British spy. He tapped into those old contacts in mid-2016 to warn about Trump’s ‘connections to Russians’.
It turns out an FBI agent revealed the name of Trump campaign volunteer, George Papadopoulos to Christopher Steele on October 1st, 2016 during a meeting in Rome, according to this report.
Steele had never heard of Papadopoulos. Why is the FBI sharing intel with a former British spy about an ongoing investigation?
Via WaPo:
So when Steele contacted the FBI in mid-2016 with information about Trump and the Russians, he was already a valued source. On about July 4, 2016, he met with his FBI friend in London to share what he had gathered for a June 20 Fusion GPS report, the first chapter of his eventual dossier. In that first report, Steele’s sources claimed that Russia had been “cultivating” Trump for at least five years.
Steele’s information didn’t get much high-level attention at first. But bells began ringing in July, after Australian intelligence told the FBI about an unusual conversation two months earlier between Australia’s London high commissioner and George Papadopoulos, a Trump foreign policy adviser. As the New York Times reported last month, Papadopoulos had told the Australian official that Russia had damaging political information about Clinton. The Australians decided to share this intelligence with the FBI after hacked Democratic emails were published in July.
The FBI was now very interested. Based on the Australian account, knowledgeable sources say, the bureau requested another meeting with Steele to dig deeper. That encounter took place around Oct. 1 in Rome with Steele’s old FBI contact. At this meeting, the FBI official asked Steele if he had ever heard of Papadopoulos, according to an official familiar with the meeting. Steele hadn’t.
So Christopher Steele never heard of Papadopoulos and former head of the DNI James Clapper never heard of Papadopoulos but he’s somehow central to the Russia investigation. Makes sense.

Sneaky Dem Senator Dianne Feinstein released the Fusion GPS transcripts last week and co
And only Five republicans seem interested, the other are still busy opening their Christmas gifts from Globalist Donors.
The left is circling the wagons
Well they all are ex-officio members of Hillary’s campaign so sharing is to be expected.
Typical.
Bush/Romney types.
Sounds like a ticket to a federal prison.
Except in a banana republic.
Our domestic intelligence agency will trust a former limey spook with confidential info, but don’t trust the American public with a FISA memo.
Something like Clapper perjuring himself about the NSA spying on us and the IRS’s Koskinen and his elves discriminating against conservatives, while our `consumer protection’ feds gig small businesses and give the money to lefty NGOs. That’s about par for this course.
Shut it down, unpaid furloughs for these Democrat hired hands while laying off some and prosecuting others.
Who do these clowns work for anyway? One guess ...
This is all a ruse by deep state and media (here Washington Post) to deflect attention away from the dossier because of what’s coming out about the hands behind it!!! For over a year, we heard nothing but the source of the investigation into Trump and campaign was an advisor Carter Page trip to Russia and of course the Steele collection of spying info that created the Dossier! Now all of a sudden we are now hearing it’s this Papadopoulos character that started it all. Papadopoulos name is apparently nowhere in FISA warrants or in any case whatsoever involved in the initial investigation into Trump/Russia collusion
We’re above all that though.
I’ve heard that well over 100 CongressCritters have gone to the room and read the memo.
My Congressman has read it and he believes it needs to be released to the public, but he hasn’t made a statement about it yet.
Have you called your Congressman?
I will not be surprised to find out Bush was doing it too. Michael Hayden is a real creep and Trump hater.
“Have you called your Congressman?”
I live in California. I might as well call my Dead Father.
So the FBI was giving supposed intel to Steele, who then charged money to give the same intel back to the FBI.
Something ain’t right here.
Call anyway.
It’s a nice little closed circle...........if you analyze the data..................
Who says the hacked emails are what the Russians had on Clinton? Who says it isn't something about the millions that changed hands, or something more disturbing yet that we don't know about. The FBI wasn't bothered to try and find out.
