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.

he has obviously been reviewing the clinton indictment or the last 10 months.
Sessions stupidly caused the entire Mueller debacle. If he had stood his ground there would be no special counsel.
And, where is he on the Clinton Foundation?
He is a useless ineffective puke.
Patience...
Truth
The insanity of the political opponent research landing in a FISA warrant application is going to shore up Trump’s right flank. Except for the few remaining mentally deranged Never Trumpers like Crystal and his toadie Steve Miller of course.
Next breaking news.. my prediction.
THIS is NOT FAKE NEWS, it is a prediction.
Strzok was demoted as he was caught being the leaker. Not due to his anti Trump and pro Hillary bias.
They found his biased texts when they caught him lea king.

I’ll agree with Jim Jordan. Forrest Strzok was demoted because he was also a big time shot caller involved with the “dossier”.
also need to see the first application for fisa warrant that was denied..what date was that and what additional info got the warrant was the same judge used for both applications or did they judge shop?
Yeah, I had the same prediction 2 days ago ;)

Good point. I’ll try to tone it down some.
Then tell the AG that if he doesn't deal with it, we will.
****************************
Very scary but fundamentally true.
The militia (that’s us) are ultimately responsible for Constitutional compliance. The Constitution begins with “We the People” for a reason.
You’re right...
That’s an excellent point.
You’re right.
That is probably a sure bet!
Thanks GOPJ, and well put!
Thanks Ernest.
Thanks.
We know the FBI IS corrupt.
Just like the part of the IRS targeting conservative Americans WAS CORRUPT...
Has there ever been a criminal who didn’t say he was ‘innocent’?
The FBI is NOT innocent - the IRS targeting conservatives and lying about it were NOT innocent. Those playing fast, furious and crooked with-in the DOJ are NOT INNOCENT EITHER.
Yeah, MOST of the people in the FBI are NOT corrupt. They’re honest good people. Same with the DOJ and IRS.
Then again MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED FOR BERNIE MADOFF WERE HONEST PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT CORRUPT EITHER. SO WHAT? THAT MEANS NOTHING.
Nothing.
A crime is NOT ‘better or worse’ depending the on the percentage of decent people in a company vs . total crooks.
So get over yourselves good people of the FBI - go after your own crooks...YOU KNOW WHO WAS PROTECTING LIBERAL ELITES - AND NOT PROTECTING THE PEOPLE. Reestablish YOUR reputation and STOP WITH THE DAMN PITY PARTY.
LOTS OF YOU IN THE FBI KNEW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND YOU SAT ON YOU HANDS...so stand up now and do the right thing...
