JUDICIAL WATCH: EMAILS SHOW DOSSIER-CONNECTED TOP OBAMA STATE DEPARTMENT OFFICIALS SET ‘FACE-TO-
JUDICIAL WATCH ^ | 7/18/2019

Posted on 07/18/2019 7:21:48 PM PDT by bitt

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch and The Daily Caller News Foundation today released 84 pages of documents, including a September 2016 email exchange between then-Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer, a close associate of dossier author Christopher Steele, discussing a “face-to-face” meeting on a “Russian matter.”

(In June 2016 Nuland permitted a meeting between Steele and the FBI’s legal attaché in Rome. Nuland told CBS News that the State Department knew about the Steele dossier by July 2016.)

According to an op-ed Winer wrote for The Washington Post in 2018, also in September 2016, “Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the “dossier… I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with Nuland, who indicated that, like me, she felt that the secretary of state needed to be made aware of this material.”

The documents obtained by Judicial Watch also show that State Department officials continued to use unsecure BlackBerry devices for the transmission of classified material more than a year after Hillary Clinton’s use of an unsecure, non-government email system was revealed.

Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018, on behalf of itself and the Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv- 00968)). The lawsuit seeks:

All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele’s company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand. All records and/or memoranda provided by Christopher

Lemme guess....

Another BOMBSHELL revelation!

Ho-hum.

A real bombshell would be when any of those ‘revelations’ lead to REAL investigations and REAL prosecutions and REAL prison time.

Meanwhile.... ho-hum.

Reads funny. Nuland was DOJ, so DOJ knew by at least June (and probably earlier) not July. She had to know about the dossier otherwise, why set up the meeting? Which means she probably knew Steele before June.

Years ago I pegged Nuland as a miserable commie. Looks like I was right. Send her to prison.

Jonathan Winer, a close associate of dossier author Christopher Steele

And a long-time associate of John Kerry, Nuland's superior as Secretary of State, while Nuland was a long-time associate of Hillary Clinton, Kerry's predecessor.

“Nuland, who indicated that, like me [Winer], she felt that the secretary of state [Kerry] needed to be made aware of this material.”

Though this shows intent to read Kerry into the coup plot, it does not prove it happened. I assume the FOIA documents JW received do not prove Kerry was “made aware” (otherwise that would be the headline). If there were meetings, there would be documents responsive to the FOIA case; were these destroyed, lost, bleach bit? Nuland, Winer, and Kerry need to be testifying under oath about what they DID regarding the Steele Dossier, who all they discussed it with, etc.

As you know, it’s not the importance of the news, it’s about whether or not the media cover it and the public ever hear it. If a bombshell explodes in the woods, and the media doesn’t report it, does it still do the damage expected from a bomb exploding?

One of the reasons why the Flynn legal situation is so interesting is not really because of Flynn himself;
but rather because the Flynn situation is a likely example of President Obama’s surveillance network in operation.

QUOTING TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH PRESIDENT:
Obama's State Dept was all hands on deck in terms of targeting Trump (as the candidate then as president).

<><> meetings with Glen Simpson, Steele, Clinton aides, Sid Blumenthal and Clinton associate, Cody Shearer.
<><> There was more than one dossier going to the FBI and DOJ.....
<><> there was Christopher Steele's dossier,
<><> and a second dossier created by the State Dept itself, targeting Trump.
<><> shows Jonathan Winer and Glen Simpson were in contact Sept 2016
<><> Winer immediately contacted Victoria Nuland, a top aide at the Obama State Dept.
<><> Post-election, they worked hand in glove with top Dem Steny Hoyer's guy on Russian issues.
<><> (which means if Steny knew, Pelosi knew and if Pelosi knew, Schmanure knew),
<><> They conveyed info gained from Steele, a close to associate of Jonathan Winer.

I read this article earlier. The line that made me laugh was:

"I [Winer] prepared a two-page summary and shared it with Nuland, who indicated that, like me, she felt that the secretary of state needed to be made aware of this material."

Aware of it! Hell, she paid for it! And once again, these documents show just how involved the Obama Administration was with the media...in this case, The Washington Post, in pushing the fake dossier. Why is an Assistant Secretary of State even having a conversation about this issue with a journalist? What other secrets did Nuland share with this guy Winer?
