Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, called attention to an "important" story published Sunday evening related to the opposition research firm and author behind the infamous Trump dossier.
The Daily Caller reported on what it said was a dark money group based in California that gave $2 million to The Democracy Integrity Project, an organization that has contracted with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele to conduct research on President Trump.
In a tweet, Nunes stressed the report bore extra significance due to its timing. "This is actually important as we wait for the March 14 Steele and [Kramer] depositions to made public," the California Republican said.
A federal judge overruled late last month the objections of both Steele and David Kramer, a longtime associate of John McCain and former State Department official, to make their depositions public. The pair gave testimony in a lawsuit brought against BuzzFeed in December 2018 by a Russian Internet entrepreneur. The depositions could be released as soon as March 14.
The organization to which Fund for a Better Future donated $2,065,000 in 2017 was founded on Jan. 31, 2017, by Daniel Jones, a former intelligence committee staffer for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. Last spring it was revealed that Jones told the FBI he hired Fusion GPS to push a narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia in order to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
Liberal billionaire George Soros has also given The Democracy Integrity Project $1 million.
The Democracy Integrity Project was created after the 2016 election and is dedicated to investigating election interference.
Published in full by BuzzFeed in January 2017, the Steele's dossier contains a collection of salacious and unverified claims about Trump's potentially compromising ties to Russia, including the claim that Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on bed in a hotel room in Russia where former President Barack Obama once stayed.
Republicans including Nunes have raised concerns about the dossier's originals and how it was used by the FBI to obtain the authority to wiretap onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this article incorrectly said Fund for a Better Future and George Soros donated $2 billion and $1 billion to TDIP respectfully. In fact, they gave $2 million and $1 million. The Washington Examiner regrets the error.
So tired of this crap. The fact is that the people who propagated this phony dossier, plotted to first rig a Presidential election, then attempted to prevent a duly elected man from taking office then hounded him endlessly to prevent him from governing despite huge amounts of evidence of their crimes have succeeded. They remain free and unpunished. Either you retaliate and fight or you perish.
from Daily Caller:
In a March 17, 2017, exchange obtained by TheDCNF, Jones sent Waldman, a lawyer with ties to Steele, a text message with a link to a Reuters article about Russian investments in Trump Organization properties in Florida.
“Our team helped with this,” Jones wrote Waldman...
this is the article; just check out the number of Reuters’ hacks involved - did they all know they were colluding with for this hit piece?
17 Mar 2017: Reuters Investigates: Moscow on the Beach:
Russian elite invested nearly $100 million in Trump buildings

(after multiple paragraphs full of insinuatons, there is)
The Reuters review of investors from Russia in Trump’s Florida condominium buildings found no suggestion of wrongdoing by President Trump or his real estate organization. And none of the buyers appear to be from Putin’s inner circle...
“I can say definitively that this is an overblown story that is media-created,” Alan Garten (chief legal officer Trump Org) said in an interview...
(then Reuters carries on with another 50 paragraphs or so of insinuations!)

Reuters - like AP, BBC, NYT, WaPo - are the Deep State.
Fear not.
Huber is working on it.

I heard 30 million sealed indictments and counting
And he has prepared 100's of thousands of double-secret 4D chess indictments. Also, they are putting up new wallpaper at GITMO! Any day now, the Great Pumpkin will rise, err, I mean the secret military intelligence unit's trap will be sprung!
bombshell, tick tock, boom....
Jeff Sessions was working on it too!

Good points.
I've mentioned before: I'm retired and living in Asia.
AP, UPI, AFP and Reuters have a significant English language footprint in Asia and some of their stories are translated and published in the native languages. Sometimes it is innuendo but so often lately it is outright lies.
They HATE PDJT and the voters he rode in on. They are as bad or worse than CNN, MSNBC most any day because often times there is no other choice in their native language. There is a good reason why much of the world hates President Trump: that is the only words they hear from these supposed news organizations doing the work for the American "progressives."
They are slime who do their dirty work to tear down America on the world stage.
#4. You want “Russian/Soviet collusion”? Look up the backgrounds and activities of Mark Hosenball (Cuban DGI agent Phil Agee’s buddy), and Warren Strobel, longtime leftist reporter.
And as could be expected, immediately picked-up by the Huffington Post.
