The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August, during the heat of the campaign, and is said to have contracted in October to pay Steele $50,000 to help corroborate the dirt on Trump — a relationship that “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the bureau in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Anyone else see anything disturbing with the idea of a government agency like the FBI, and agency ostensibly charged with investigating crimes; having that agency pay money to an opposition research group during a presidential campaign? Talk about tainted. No wonder the FBI is so clueless about identifying the shooting of Congressman Scalise as being politically motivated. The FBI now apparently reports to the DNC.

But that was just the beginning of the scheme. McCabe and McCain pushed the dirty dossier, who took it to Comey. Comey took it to Trump on Jan 6th when he requested a private meeting with the POTUS do discuss the DD “as the kind of thing you will face.”

Clearly this was a pretext. Right after this meeting, the fact of the meeting was leaked to the NYT (presumably by Comey). The fact that the DD was discussed between the FBI director and POTUS was used to make the DD “a legit newsworthy story.” Soon after, the DD was posted in toto online. (Another leak).

None of this is by happenstance. Every step of this process has been calculated. Every step has been another element of the trap.

And no wonder Trump (a non-politician) later thought it was normal to have a private meeting with the FBI director. The first private meeting was on Jan 6 at Comey’s request.

The entire affair stinks on ice.

You know how it works, when somebody says "I am not lying," that means they are?

The same rule applies to the self-labeled "independent" agencies and institutions. The press, the courts, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and so on down the line. They all operate with a political agenda at the forefront, and they all bristle when called out.
