UK Spy ‘Gathered’ Trump Intel Without Going To Russia
The Daily Caller ^ | January 12, 2017 | By Michael Bastasch

Posted on 01/12/2017 2:22:25 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

The former British spy hired to compile a compromising intelligence on President-elect Donald Trump did not set foot in Russia to compile his 35-page dossier.

Fusion GPS — a Washington, D.C.-based firm — hired Christopher Steele to investigate Trump’s past dealings in Russia. Steele is a former MI6 agent who was stationed in Moscow in the 1990s. A GOP donor who opposed Trump hired Fusion GPS in 2015, but Hillary Clinton supporters took over financing the research after Trump won the Republican primary. . .

Steele’s dossier claims Russian intelligence agents collected “compromising” information that could be used to influence Trump, including alleged tapes of the real estate mogul cavorting with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel.

This is known as self refuting silliness.

Once the spell was broken that had everyone gasping in awe at whatever bilge the left put out, the ludicrousness became palpable to all.

I’d think the recent poor performance of the politically motivated news generators might have something to do with the added difficulties coordinating between the players.

Political operatives now recognize the need to hide their activities from hackers. Just think how much harder it must be to coordinate with like-minded activists when you are afraid to use e-mail. Personal meetings are fairly safe but very time consuming. Phone calls are a bit less safe, but much more convenient. I’d trust the various instant messaging systems a bit more than e-mail since they are unlikely to be backed up by an unsuspected system administrator.

Maybe his original calling was as a novelist.

I would attribute it to a trend of minds being less and less amenable to nonsense. Communication still isn’t that much of a problem for those who are dedicated, as mentioned. However, agreement has to happen or else the lies won’t even agree. As higher and higher canons of plausibility are required, the efforts progressively fail. (Pun present, whether or not intended by me.)

Lies were the new truth.

Until they stopped being so.

I find it hard to fault an entire generation that grew up this way, if they can come to see the light in some other manner. Laws tend to work the best in a society that agrees with the fundamentals, rather than in a society in which to err is the egregious norm.

This isn’t our grandfathers’ America. It could turn out to be a better one, because the people who obeyed the light actually did so out of seeing it, rather than because it was the human custom.

This clandestine, inter-party handover of oppo research would explain the smugness with which Jeb Bush, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and others repeatedly stated that Trump would *never* become President.

The Republican Party needs to delve into this collusion and publish it’s findings, like right now.

The lies about Trump were probably founded on actual conduct by Bill Clinton.
