The New York Post has an explosive report on the infamous “dossier” that tried to smear Donald Trump in order to swing the presidential election to Hillary Clinton. The source of the dossier is a Democratic Party opposition research firm called Fusion GPS:
The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House. *** Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.
No surprise there. What is shocking is the FBI’s apparent involvement in the effort to smear Trump with false rumors:
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.
It raises more questions than that. Why was the FBI meddling in a U.S. presidential election? Partisan interference in the election by public agencies like the FBI and major news sources like NBC are far more worrisome than anything Russians allegedly might do from afar.
The FBI, too, is trying to stiff Congress’s investigation into the fake dossier:
Senate investigators are demanding to see records of communications between Fusion GPS and the FBI and the Justice Department, including any contacts with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, now under congressional investigation for possibly obstructing the Hillary Clinton email probe, and deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, who is under investigation by the Senate and the Justice inspector general for failing to recuse himself despite financial and political connections to the Clinton campaign through his Democrat activist wife. Senate investigators have singled out McCabe as the FBI official who negotiated with Steele.
Like Fusion GPS, the FBI has failed to cooperate with congressional investigators seeking documents.
It appears that the Democratic Party has successfully corrupted the FBI as well as the CIA.
Mueller needs to be fired for the appearance of Collusion with Weasel Comey.
Rather than dealing with the criminal organisations known as political parties, the USA would be better served if our leaders were chosen by tossing darts at random pages of the phone book.
NO! The FBI has REFUSED to cooperate. Big difference, and one for which they HAVE to be held accountable. Trump should walk over to the FBI headquarters with the Secret Service in tow and assert his authority as the President to demand the documents be released to him before he leaves the building. He should use his famous reality TV phrase on anyone who will not cooperate. Enough of this sh!t. Somebody has to hold these bureaucrats accountable.
==================================================
This Democrat/Fbi/Obama threesome relationship “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the FBI in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
====================================================
Let us not forget other major players in this smear-----the FBI got involved b/c their "boss" clearly signaled them to get involved.
Obama's put himself smack-dab into the thick of the Trump smear. The Royal Idiot's recent pathetic attempt at revisionist history in the MSM to cover his half-caste *** forgets the voluminous paper trail he left behind."
PAPER TRAIL EXAMPLE: the Obama admin announced on Oct. 7, 2016 that the theft and release of DNC emails was part of a widespread campaign “intended to interfere with the US election process.”
CIA Director Michael Morell (backed Hillary) said that the Obama admin did next to nothing other than saying to our Russian counterparts.... 'don't do this to us.'
(A) If this was such an appalling attack on the US, then why did the Obama administration do next to nothing prior to his exit?
(B) The Obamatons may have debated and pondered what to do, but it’s arguable that they messed up.
(C) Besides ineffective sanctions and booting some Russians, Obama "says" he delivered nothing but a tongue lashing to Russia (prove it you boob).
And you wonder why this half/caste got rolled everywhere?
Alan Dershowitz keeps pointing out that Trump has the authority to direct the FBI to do certain things. Also the CIA. He should be demanding they cooperate fully with Senate or House investigations & hand over ALL relevant material. Has no one told Trump how much power he has in these areas?!
The media, democrats, and deep state narrative/coup is falling apart quickly.

“Has no one told Trump how much power he has in these areas?!”
Trump wants to play nice. If he keeps playing Nicey nicey, he might be doing so on the helicopter after he’s been impeached and sent packing.
Not only Brennan.... "Susan The Sifter" had a dog in this hunt......Hillary tapped her for Secy of State. One could conclude Comey also had his reasons .....to stay on as FBI director.
Mighty powerful incentives for anti-Trump shenanigans.
.......apparently there are records proving that Obama's CIA director, John Brennan, oversaw repeated spying on the phone calls of President Donald Trump and millions of other private American citizens. An audiotape just released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow is part of a civil case........
Thankfully, Susan's so stupid, her public explanations of her intel activities set her up for a precipitous fall.
=========================================
Taxpayers demand Rice answer questions....and they want answers now. Questions for Rice:
1. When did you request the unmasking, and from which agency?
2. Who in that agency actually did the unmasking? Please provide the written requests you submitted.
3. Once the names were unmasked, did you still believe there was a threat to national security from the named US persons?
4. If so, with whom did you share the information, and what actions were taken to protect America and American citizens?
5. If you did not, then you should not have shared the names with anyone else, so how did the names become known?
6. Why was any of the info detailed here deliberately withheld on the FISA application? (it's a felony to willfully withhold information when applying for a FISA).
=====================================
(HAT TIP OMEGATOO)
<><> If the information found in the ‘incidental’ involvement of any US Person was threatening US Security, and America citizens' safety, why did US security agencies wait for Rice’s request to unmask?
<><> Did Obama issue a secret stand down order?
<><> Why did Rice on PBS initially deny responsibility for the unmasking?
<><> Why was this threat not unveiled at the time or since? Why now?
Alarmingly, the supposed ‘threat’ identified by Rice was about to be inaugurated as President of the US. Shouldn’t Congress have been notified? Why did Rice keep it a secret? Maybe she planned to collude w/ the Clintons to sell the intel to a foreign country?
The NSA didn’t unmask the information initially, plus later investigations found NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Seems to be proof-positive that whatever suspicions Obama/Rice/Brennan may have had to justify the unmasking were absolutely wrong, or more likely non-existent.
=============================================
Capitol Switchboard 1-866-220-0044
Contact your Representative and Senators---demand these questions blanket the media---and demand Susan Rice answer them.
When a coup fails, it is traditional to execute the plotters.
So....we looking at a few pairs or an Imelda Marcos closetful that will drop?
They merely regurgitated the BS Boobamba spit up.
=======================================================
A HUGE RED FLAG: Presently, Obama is stubbornly refusing to turn over documents having to do w/ his National Security Advisor, Susan Rice's, unmasking candidate Trump's people. Taxpayers demand answers and they want answers NOW.
That all of this did not make headlines earlier appears to enhance self-serving Obama's more recent calculated narrative in the MSM ... to congratulate himself as the person solely responsible for "stopping" a Russian plot.
Does Susan Rice mind that Obama's throwing her under the bus? (smirk)
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that McCain *paid* for a copy from the same "investigator".
He didn't know it had already been bought and sold to the DNC.
Which makes him not only a traitor, but a very STUPID traitor.
He bought the cow, even though he was getting free milk.
Closet Full, International ones too....
Fun part is a lot of the activity is treason, look up the punishment for this offense
Watch and See
Yes, along with his political appointee hacks.
The FBI is very dangerous threat to the republic at this point. It is corrupt, highly partisan, clearly abusing its powers and has the ability to arrest its perceived enemies. I never thought I would compare the FBI to these agencies but they are becoming America’s NKVD and Gestopo.
The few good agents need to take a stand or drag out that we’ll worn excuse for their trials of “we were just following orders...”
Do you recall who first hired Fusion GPS to dig dirt on Donald Trump?
I do. It was Jeb Bush.
Do you recall who “laundered” this juvenile porn fantasy to the FBI, providing a pretext for it to have been known and discussed in entertainment, media and political circles for the better part of 2016, to the point that it had a nickname, “The Thing?”
I do. It was John McCain.
Republican hands are very dirty in this matter as well. In a sense their betrayal is even worse than Democrat perfidy.
Don't give them a pass.
Oh, I’m watching.
Lot of psyops and disinformation on all sides.
As it is, I don’t see an unraveling possible.
I’d give a lot to be ...wrong.
Sessions had a big win today in the temporary ban case.
That seems like a good place to start. McCabe bought the dossier for 50k, then shopped it around to promote leaks.
