New Info Indicates Clinton-Funded Oppo Research Launched FBI’s Trump Investigation
The Federalist ^ | August 14, 2018 | Margot Cleveland

Posted on 08/14/2018 11:06:42 AM PDT by detective

is meeting raises serious questions concerning whether Christopher Steele shared information from his ‘dossier’ with Bruce Ohr, prompting the FBI to launch Crossfire Hurricane.

In three articles for The Hill last week, investigative journalist John Solomon revealed previously undisclosed text and email discussions between former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr and former MI6 agent and Spygate dossier author Christopher Steele. Solomon’s reporting also uncovered notes Ohr took summarizing discussions he had with Steele’s boss at Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, about the Russia “collusion” investigation.

In isolation, the details revealed in Solomon’s must-read exposés are troubling. But when considered in conjunction with information related to the Russia investigation the government previously released, this new information is potentially devastating, because it indicates that, notwithstanding claims to the contrary, the Federal Bureau of Investigation launched operation Crossfire Hurricane based on Steele’s Clinton-funded opposition research.

Now that we know that Steele met with Ohr the day before the FBI launched Crossfire Hurricane, no one should believe the bureau’s lies. Unlike Papadopoulos’ vague reference to damaging material, Steele had already authored several memos — including at least two from July 2016 that purported to connect the Trump campaign to the WikiLeaks release of the DNC emails.

The Clinton campaign and the DNC pushed two fraudulent narratives in 2016. One was the fraudulent dossier which they paid for and probably wrote most of. The other was the lie that the Russians hacked into the DNC server and provided the information to Wikileaks.

They then used these two lies to create the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign, the illegal surveillance through the FISA warrants and the Mueller witch hunt.

It is not opposition research.

Nothing was researched.

It was all made up.

Yes, and isn’t it interesting how Obama’s name is totally out of the picture no matter what direction one turns one’s nose?

I’ve said for years he was here to destroy America. He’s only proven that to be correct by his actions over and over again.

I just can’t believe the blind liberal fools that support him.

It's seem on a daily basis now we are seeing more and more evidence against the deep state and all the big players.

As I have said from the beginning, none of this is magically going away and eventually the lid comes off. Just my opinion of course!☺

How dare you question the integrity of the FBI.

Opposition mythology. Opposition fiction. Rumors. Guilt by innuendo.

In short, politics as usual. How do we know the 2016 campaign is unusual? The sorts of snooping and fictionalizing may be the norm, for all we know. None of what happened would have been revealed if an approved candidate (of either party) had won.

Correct. FICTION is not a result of research.

Simply put, Obama's WH/HILLARY/DOJ/FBI/CIA needed justification to SPY ON TEAM TRUMP SO THEY CREATED IT with a bogus dossier.

This is the BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY, involving Obama's WH, the CIA, the DOJ, the FBI, State Dept., and other agencies.

This was/is a COUP ON A DULY-ELECTED PRESIDENT AND ALL INVOLVED SHOULD BE EXECUTED BY FIRING SQUAD.

So far, not ONE person has gone to prison over this. Simply incredible.

So the Mueller investigation was formed from the fake Clinton dossier?

We have to always remember that, because it came from a FISA court, surveillance was ok to be done on everyone that Carter Page, etc., had contact with. This probably caught up everyone in the Trump sphere. What an outrage.

There seems to be a general nuttiness in governments around the world that support illegal invaders, open borders, the New World Order, homosexual marriage and anti-Christian legislation in general.

Might have sounded like complete tinfoil 20, especially 30 years ago.

How many governments are allowing Muslim terrorists to be shock troops inside various countries? England just got hit again and Sweden had it’s own terrorism this week, too. Germany’s been hit several times. And then there’s France and I think (IIRC) even Italy.

And that’s a short list.

Good thing that we have an AG who will shut the witch hunt down since we have come full circle knowing what has always been known.....Such wishful thinking.
