Book includes how Steele was commissioned to write dossier Robert Reich: Trump is an international mobster

The former journalists Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch are to publish a book on Donald Trump’s relationship with Russia, including an account of how they commissioned the British ex-spy Christopher Steele to write his dossier on the future president.

Crime in Progress: The Secret History of the Trump-Russia Investigation will be published in December by Penguin Random House in the US and UK.

Simpson and Fritsch founded the Washington intelligence firm Fusion GPS. In summer 2015, it began investigating Trump and Moscow. It hired Steele the following spring, as a contractor.

Steele’s contacts reported that the Kremlin had been cultivating Trump for at least five years, and had launched a major and multi-layered espionage operation to help him defeat Hillary Clinton. Steele’s dossier said the Russians held compromising material on Trump, and had spied on him in 2013, in a Moscow hotel together with two prostitutes.

Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama signed lucrative book deals with Penguin Random House in 2017. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

All of which was investigated by Mueller (probably identified how much was Russian disinformation the stupid Steele bought hook line and sinker).

Any information on the millions "donated" to Hillary's thinly-veiled charitable foundation and hundreds of thousands given to the presumptive First Laddy for short speeches?

My belief is that the Rusdian's ideal election result would have been a razor thin electoral college win by their paid agent Hillary, but with Trump winning the popular vote to incite chaos after the election.

Partner, the Senate will investigate the Coup Attempt after Senator Lindsay Graham gets off his duff.

The folks in South Carolina need to send ole Lindsay Graham back as a private citizen and run a good Republican against this guy Lindsay. The Fusion GPS falls under his jurisdiction and these guys in Fusion GPS will go to jail for their treasonous acts.

What is it with all these lefty lame asses writing books...Do they think putting lies in print will convince more people?

Big Mike and Lil Barry will take the movie rights over at NetFlix.

[Alas Babylon!]

These two P’sOS need to be in jail, not writing a book.

I’m sure this’ll be a hit like the Anti-kavanaugh book was. They may’ve sold 4000 copies by now.

Putin’s American patriotism never ceases to amaze me. Who knew?

These guys are making money when they should be in prison

Luke was kicked out of Russia in the past for ticking them off in some fashion... probably for being a spook.
