Gateway Pundit ^ | 02/22/2018 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 02/22/2018 2:43:10 PM PST by Rusty0604

David Kramer, an associate of Senator John McCain, invoked his Fifth Amendment right to not testify to Congress in connection to his role in distribution of the fake Russia dossier to the FBI.

Kramer was briefed by the Russian dossier author Christopher Steele in London in 2016.

Kramer then returned back to the US and delivered the phony dossier to John McCain. McCain handed the document over to the FBI.

Yet Kramer gave a videotaped deposition last December in separate civil litigation against BuzzFeed about the dossier and his contact with the former British spy who compiled it, Christopher Steele. Steele was hired by opposition research firm Fusion GPS to write and research the dossier, with funding from the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign.

According to British court records obtained by Fox News as part of its ongoing investigation of the Trump dossier, Kramer was personally briefed in late November 2016 by Steele in Surrey, England. After that briefing, Steele told the British court that an arrangement was made so that Fusion GPS — co-founded by Glenn Simpson – would provide hard copies of the dossier to McCain via Kramer. Shortly afterward, the dossier was given to the FBI, which already had its own copy from Steele.

22 Feb: Fox News: McCain associate takes Fifth on Trump dossier questions
by Catherine Herridge, Pamela K. Browne, Cyd Upson
A former State Department official and associate of Sen. John McCain has invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify in connection with questions from the House Intelligence Committee about the anti-Trump dossier’s Russian sources, according to a law enforcement source.

David J. Kramer, who is a central player in how the unverified Trump dossier made its way to the FBI in late 2016, testified before the committee in December in a closed-door session, indicating he had information about the dossier’s sources. A subpoena was issued for mid-January, as first reported by The Washington Examiner.

The law enforcement source confirmed, however, that Kramer did not appear and has exercised his Fifth Amendment rights...

Dossier author Christopher Steele orchestrated post-election media push against Trump
worked in tandem w/ McCaine aide David Kramer

The Washington Times ^ | March 18, 2019 | Rowan Scarborough / fr Posted on 3/18/2019, 7:22:04 PM by jazusamo

Dossier creator Christopher Steele had a far greater role in trying to sell his anti-Trump charges to Washington’s journalism establishment than previously known, a court filing shows.

It was public knowledge through Mr. Steele’s previous declarations in two libel lawsuits that he had met with the powerhouses of D.C. journalism before the presidential election to brief his Trump-Russia conspiracy allegations. But with the March 14 unsealing of testimony from an aide of the late Sen. John McCain, it is now known that Mr. Steele also adopted a postelection strategy to damage or perhaps stop the Trump presidency.

Mr. Steele worked in tandem with David Kramer, the McCain aide. Mr. Kramer obtained from Mr. Steele via a middleman copies of the dossier on Nov. 29, 2016. From there, Mr. Kramer testified in a libel case, and he and Mr. Steele worked to saturate reporters with dossier material. Mr. Steele’s dossier was financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Thus, Mr. Kramer, a Republican, became an unwitting Democratic Party operative.

His deposition came in a defamation lawsuit filed by Russian entrepreneur Aleksej Gubarev. Mr. Steele accused him of hacking Democratic Party computers. Mr. Gubarev, a Cypress-based developer of computer servers, says it never happened. Special counsel Robert Mueller has indicted Russian intelligence operatives in Moscow for the hacking. The Washington Times has broken down Mr. Steele’s 35-page dossier into eight key collusion charges. None has been proved publicly. No Trump associate has been charged with conspiring with Russia.

Mr. Steele alleged, for example, that Mr. Trump was a Russian informant for eight years. Mr. Mueller recently informed the White House that Mr. Trump isn’t a target of the investigation. (Excerpt) Read more at outline.com ...

This is interesting. And Steele has put out the front that he was a mere “researcher”. This evidence shows he was a liar.

And you just know he’s Deep State because there’s only one set of blurred pictures of the guy on-line. A crook to the core.
