FBI Offered Anti-Trump Spy $50k if He Could Prove Russian Connection (he couldn't)
The Conservative Tribune ^ | December 26, 2017 | V SAXENA

Posted on 12/26/2017 9:23:49 AM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

A report revealing that the FBI offered former MI6 spy Christopher Steele a cash payout last year to corroborate the since-debunked information in the infamous “Trump dossier” raises troubling questions about the agency’s integrity and commitment to truth.

Steele’s contact with the FBI specifically told him that if he “could get solid corroboration of his reports, the F.B.I. would pay him $50,000 for his efforts, according to two people familiar with the offer,” The New York Times reported in April. “Ultimately, he was not paid.”

Fast forward to Dec. 13 of this year, when the House Judiciary Committee questioned Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about whether the agency offered to pay for the corroboration of a dossier that we now know is full of lies.

Yes. I’m saying official UK government sources won’t confirm, despite MSM pretending.

The FBI scum who authorized this should be taken out and summarily executed.

He was just following orders. The mission probably came directly from the top (Obama/Hillary).

Your tagline:

(Peter Strzok effing ‘elite’ FBI assh*le: Fire & Policemen & traditional Americans shop at Walmart)

The Salvation Army is our favorite charity. Beside monthly donations to the local SA, my wife and I volunter to ring the bell during the holidays to collect money.

We also get a lot $5 bills to put in the SA kettles!

2 days before Christmas, we came out of Walmart and another volunter was ringing the bell for the SA.

So the last of our $5 bills went into his kettle, and we asked him how it was going.

He said the best and most polite donors were Walmart customers.

In a couple of hours he said the kettle would be so full, he would call the HQ and as for a new kettle. He usually had 2 kettles filled in one 3 hour session.

In the short time we were talking to him, several Walmart customers as they were leaving or going in donated. The donors were just evil white capitalists. The donors were multi racial.

Salvation Army was the only group my father would make donations to... I vaguely remember one of his stories about a situation where the Red Cross was selling donuts and the Salvation Army was helping all victims. I don't remember the details - time or place or circumstances - - and he's been dead for many decades now so it's too late to ask... But like you and many other Americans when I see the kettle I drop money in...

Nice to know Walmart shoppers are with us... I doubt Peter Strzok ever gave a dime to a real charity - other than to some corrupt liberal elite like George Soros.

That excuse didn't fly at Nuremberg and it won't fly here. Hang each and every one of these corrupt, seditionist bastards.

If he donated, his wife or mistresses probably had some scam going to use our tax $’s.

Who banks the FBI?

Did the FBI issue a 1099?

The jury pool in DC is tainted, as evidenced by the verdict on the Inauguration Day Riots.

Nothing will happen.

I do the same as you....my church volunteers to ring the bell at our local Wal-Mart. I find volunteering to be a bell ringer to be the highlight of my holiday season. The people that by appearances are the most unable to donate are the ones who donate the most. Their cheer in doing so is restorative.....I get so much more from them than they put in the kettle......
