The FBI mess is about to go Chernobyl. The scandal reaches high up into the DOJ
Flopping Aces ^ | 12-07-17 | DrJohn

The events that have transpired over the last year are not a series of coincidences. There is a plan behind all of it.

Robert Mueller is not searching for the truth. He assembled a team to bring down Trump. That much has become overwhelmingly clear. Mueller has put together a team of rabid Trump haters. Not a single one is a Republican donor and most are democrat donors. Mueller, who is close friends with Comey, is also seeking to avenge Comey.

Democrats knew what was going on the entire time.

Let's look at what's happened. (Thank you, Chuck Ross, for the timeline. I have added more substance to it)

March: Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. Perkins Coie general counsel revealed this week that Fusion offered to continue Trump opposition research it had started while working for a Republican candidate.

April: Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the campaign and DNC, would serve as the bagman.

That month, Federal Election Commission records show that the Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie a total of $150,000 for legal services. The DNC paid the firm around $107,000. It is unclear how much of that went to Fusion GPS. Both the campaign and DNC would pay Perkins Coie hundreds of thousands more dollars throughout the campaign.

May: Free Beacon ends its contract with Fusion.

June: Fusion GPS hires former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his London-based firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. Steele discloses this in court filings earlier this year as part of a lawsuit he faces over the dossier. Steele said he worked for Fusion GPS from June through November.

June 20: Steele writes first memo of the dossier. It alleges that Trump used prostitutes during a visit to Moscow in 2013 and that the Kremlin was blackmailing him with the evidence. The memo also alleges that the Trump campaign was engaged in a well-orchestrated collusion campaign with Russian operatives.

July 5: Steele provides his research to an FBI contact, The New York Times has reported. The documents made their way to FBI counterintelligence chief Peter Strzock two weeks later.

July: Chatter began appearing on social media referring to damning information about Trump’s ties to Russia. Republican strategist Rick Wilson told The New York Times back in January, after the dossier was published, that he was first asked about the document by a reporter in July.

July 26: A Wall Street Journal reporter contacts Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser, about allegations made about him in the dossier. Page disclosed that detail last month in a lawsuit he filed against the parent company of Yahoo! News, which republished claims from the dossier last September.

Late July: The FBI opens a counterintelligence investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.

(That would be the one signed by Peter Strzok)

Aug. 25: Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefs then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid about possible links between Trump associates and Russian operatives. According to The New York Times, officials in the meeting said that Brennan “indicated that unnamed advisers to Mr. Trump might be working with the Russians to interfere in the election.”

September: The FBI obtained a surveillance warrant from a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Carter Page. The application for the warrant reportedly cited the dossier as evidence.

(That would be the discredited dossier, paid for by Clinton campaign and the DNC, containing information from the Kremlin)

Late September: In court filings in London, where he is being sued, Steele says that he briefed reporters at several news outlets following instructions from Fusion GPS. Steele briefed The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The New Yorker and Yahoo! News.

Sept. 23: Yahoo News publishes an article that, it is now known, relied heavily on the dossier’s claims about Page. The article, from veteran journalist Michael Isikoff, contains allegations that Page met secretly with Russian government officials that July in Moscow. Page has denied the allegation and is suing Yahoo! over the article.

October: Steele met with FBI agents who offered to pay the former spy to continue his investigation of Trump.

Mid-October: Steele, again acting on directions from Fusion, met with reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Yahoo! News.

Somewhere in here associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr met with Christopher Steele.

Oct. 31: Earlier in October, Steele conducted an interview on Skype with Mother Jones reporter David Corn. Corn published a piece referring to Steele as a “Western intelligence official” who had compiled information on Trump’s ties to Russia.

November: The contract between the Democrats, Fusion and Steele ends along with the presidential campaign.

Sometime shortly after the election, Ohr meets with Glenn Simpson.

No one reads yelling posts. Theater and melodrama to attract attention turn people off.

Yeah, MOST of the people in the FBI are NOT corrupt. They're honest good people.

How do you know that? And why would the criminally corrupt running the FBI cesspool turn around and hire good honest impartial people?

This was obvious all along. So why hasn't anyone stopped Mueller and his coup d'état?

"The deep state DOJ. These people were mostly there under Bush as well."

The Bushes have shown that they are no better than the Clintons and the Obamas.

In an effort to save their reputation, you'd think they'd assemble enmass and publicly denounce all this in your face vile corruption. Of course if they did that, their opulent pensions might be at risk.☺

I don’t know.

He probably just does not want to get his hands dirty.
Probably thinks he is above it all.

other FBI agents were pissed

Not so much that they came forward.

Lots of talk, lots of heat, no fire.

They love the paycheck and the perks.

Screw the little guy.

None of them can come forward.

Those who aren’t bound by NDA’s are being blackmailed because they fell prey to the the temptations of the sexual free for all (for men, anyway) that the FBI environment has now become, or if female, because they will end up like the agent who filed a harassment claim again McCabe.

Flynn wrote a letter in her defense. She’s no longer an FBI agent. Flynn has been prosecuted. ‘Nuf said.
