Maybe we will learn who Steele really is. I’ve seen him described as a top counter-intelligence agent/spy, the HEAD of MI6’s counter-intelligence, etc. etc. etc.
What I want to hear answered is how Steele, if he was SO GOOD as a counterintelligence agent, got suckered into buying Russian (i.e. KGB/FSB) “offered to buy” “information” about Clinton.
He should have known that this was a trap. The Russians don’t do this for shits and grins, or even a few bucks. There is almost always an ulterior motive that will benefit Putin and Company (i.e. Mother Russia).
Every intelligence agent is told this, or should be told this. There is no “free lunch” from Putin’s pushcart. He’s far smarter than Comey, Mueller, Freeh, Clapper-less Bell, Jeh Jeh Jeh Johnson, and some others in the US intelligence service.
Why didn’t they pick up on an obvious old-style Soviet “honeytrap” operation? Did they ever ready Roy Godson’s work on Soviet Disinformation, or the numerous studies/reports that communism expert Herbert Romerstein produced for Congress, or the Senate Intelligence hearings on Soviet “Covert Activities and Forgeries”?
Did they ever read Suvorov, Pacepa, Golitsyn, Sejna, and other KGB defectors from Gen. Preobrazhensky, Kalashnikov and Litvineko, etc. ?
We need to know if Steele is all that the media has claimed him to be, or was there more hype than action to his career?
If he was legit, then that explains why the Soviets/Russians have wiped the asses of the Brits with sandpaper for decades, if not a century. He fell for the most simple, most apparent KGB-style trap known.
He must tell how the whole Dossier affair started, his involvement in it, who he contacted in Russia, and why he believed the crap in is.
If he is any good, the Congress will find out. If he is an overhyped retired spook, they should know that too.
Meanwhile re “Trump and Russian Collusion”, score a big one for Putin and the Party. They bagged most of the liberal US media (print, visual, audio), half of Congress (the half they have great influence over), most of academia, the talking heads of the Left, and even some Republicans/Conservatives.
Not bad for one of the simplest “false flag” operations in modern history.
As I have said before, and Mark Levin tonight said the same thing, the new Soviets lit a small fire in a forest, based on lies, and let the Western liberal media fan it with gasoline into “Collusion”. All the while it was the media, the Democrats, American Marxists, and liberal stupids who were doing the Russians’ bidding to undermine the new president of the United States.
Putin knew that Hillary was a loser - mentally, physically, politically, corruption-wise (I’d say UraniumOne was a big clue as to how stupid, greedy and traitorous she was) and as a person.
After that is was the “All Collusion Conspiracy and Clinton Coverup Circus and Clown Show”. In the end, it was liberals greed, stupidity, insanity and collusion with the Russians that is now being shown to the American public in all its inglorious form.
If there was any Collusion, it was between the Democrats and the Russians, and that is treason in my book.
Perhaps Steele will spill the beans and we will finally have the truth. The Wash. Post bannerline for their newspaper is “The Democracy Dies in Darkness”.
I say “The Democrats’ Treason Will Die in the Light of the Truth”.
Let’s see who is right. I’m betting on me because I listened to my FBI undercover agents friends/officials, internal security experts, and former KGB agents (starting with Whitaker Chambers).
They were great teachers. I was a pretty attentive student. My mother and father didn’t raise any fools in our family. You went to school to LEARN, period.
Voila! 21 years of schooling didn’t go to waste, in my humble opinion.
Stay tuned. John Sullivan and Tom Fitton have more goodies to make public next week. It’s going to be a great show!
That's just a subtle jab at the last admin.
“They bagged most of the liberal US media (print, visual, audio), half of Congress (the half they have great influence over), most of academia, the talking heads of the Left, and even some Republicans/Conservatives.”
How different is that from the Global Warming/Climate Change garbage? These people WANT to be bagged. They run like cats after a laser pointer. Anything that plays into their sick world view is an easy mousetrap.
