Is A Former Feinstein Staffer Running Fusion GPS’s Post-Election Steele Dossier Operation?

The Federalist ^ | FEBRUARY 20, 2018 | Sean Davis

[saywhatagain]

New evidence suggests that a former top staffer for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) may be directing the post-election efforts of Fusion GPS, a Democrat-linked political opposition research firm, to vindicate a series of memos alleging illegal collusion between the Donald Trump campaign and Russian officials

[saywhatagain]

Congressional documents and recently leaked texts between Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) and a registered foreign agent for a Russian aluminum oligarch indicate that Daniel J. Jones is intimately involved with ongoing efforts to retroactively validate a series of salacious and unverified memos produced by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence agent, and Fusion GPS. The dossier, which declassified documents show was used as a basis for securing secret wiretaps on Trump campaign affiliates, was reportedly jointly funded by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The former Feinstein staffer’s participation in ongoing efforts to retroactively validate the dossier was first publicly hinted at in January in several inquiry letters from Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to various Democratic party leaders who were likely responsible for funding Fusion GPS’s 2016 dossier work, including John Podesta, Donna Brazile, and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

The Cast Members (Partial List)

The grouping of the names below is a story in itself: the first 15 names (through Nellie Ohr) are those of Fusion GPS’s principals and key staff in 2016; the next 12 (through Deripaska) are connected to Steele and a Russian oligarch sanctioned by the United States, the next two (Shearer and Blumenthal) are longtime Clinton hangers-on who reportedly wrote and disseminated their own dossier of unverified allegations; the next three are key Obama-era State Department officials who likely spread allegations about the Trump campaign throughout the government; then Jones; the next six are top Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or Department of Justice (DOJ) officials who used the dossier to secure secret wiretaps on Trump affiliates; and the final name belongs to Obama’s CIA director.

For the period from March 2016 through January 2017, please provide all communications to, from, copying, or relating to: Fusion GPS; Bean LLC; Glenn Simpson; Mary Jacoby; Peter Fritsch; Tom Catan; Jason Felch; Neil King; David Michaels; Taylor Sears; Patrick Corcoran; Laura Sego; Jay Bagwell; Erica Castro; Nellie Ohr; Rinat Akhmetshin; Ed Lieberman; Edward Baumgartner; Orbis Business Intelligence Limited; Orbis Business International Limited.; Walsingham Training Limited; Walsingham Partners Limited; Christopher Steele; Christopher Burrows; Sir Andrew Wood, Paul Hauser;4 Oleg Deripaska; Cody Shearer; Sidney Blumenthal; Jon Winer; Kathleen Kavalec; Victoria Nuland; Daniel Jones; Bruce Ohr; Peter Strzok; Andrew McCabe; James Baker; Sally Yates; Loretta Lynch; John Brennan.

Do you mean Fusion GPS is still falsifying evidence?

It shows you how desperate the Democrats were to get rid of Trump quickly that they didn’t bother to cover up their tracks and connections to the fake dossier. Their attempt to get rid of Trump failed and now their tracks are being discovered.

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Well, well, well. Fienstein herself is likely involved in the Treason. And Warner needs to be outed as a traitor.

NOW, that’s interesting...

The thot plickens

[richardtavor]

If you read through the whole article, you will see how explosive this is. It connects 2 Democratic Senators (Feinstein and Warner) and possible collusion with Adam Schiff. It was a set up from the get-go and with the names on this list that are being questioned, it will blow things wide open if they can work the truth out of the interviewees...What a pile of sheep dung this is..Look for this to expand off of Sean Davis’ report in the Federalist. It is Dyn-o-mite. (in my opinion.)

“The former Feinstein staffer’s participation in ongoing efforts to retroactively validate the dossier ...”

Retroactively validate, eh? There’s some Nervous Nellies right there, y’all.

Do you mean Fusion GPS is still falsifying evidence?

And is the FBI still helping them?

I agree . . . more of this article needs to be read by all. Another excerpt giving a clearer painting how this worked. What is not clear, but I believe . . . Brennan was the architecture behind the scenes in coordination with his boss.

According to public records, Jones completed the legal paperwork to establish Penn Quarter Group in April of 2016. Jones registered the firm’s website just days before Steele delivered his first memo on alleged illegal ties between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, and the firm received its Washington DC business license in the early summer of 2016.

Although his Twitter activity is scant (he has posted only 249 times since tweeting for the first time in July of 2016), Jones began tweeting out articles suggesting illicit ties between the Trump campaign and Russians in early 2017, a significant break in pattern from his previous social media postings. A January 8 New York Times profile of Glenn Simpson, the Fusion GPS exec who ran the dossier operation during the 2016 campaign, confirmed that the secretive research company’s dossier-related work continued after the election and was ongoing through 2018.

“But the work has not stopped,” the paper noted in the profile. “Fusion continues to look into ties between Mr. Trump and Russia, according to several people briefed on the research. Mr. Simpson’s specific areas of focus, and information about any current benefactors, are closely guarded.”

“The thot plickens”

No thit!

Fusion GPS is starting to look like a completely Democrat-funded and staffed pseudo-governmental, and internally-directed anti-republican spy agency.

Nellie Ugly-Ohr and now this? Plus, they were linked into our most sensitive surveillance data.

It appears that you are seeing the same dots that I am. Classic Black Ops, ordered by Obama (or whoever is pulling his string.) Brennan and Clapper were the facilitators, or trigger men. The FBI, Justice and some members of Congress were the dupes, as was a complicit Media. They all wanted the same thing. None of this was supposed to happen. Everything was supposed to buried because Hillary was supposed to be President. It reminds one of the scripture: Psalms 3:1-4 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
Who is really in Charge? Hashem is laughing at Hillary and Obama’s Folly.

Now we know why Graham has been working around his old friend Fienstein. She’s as implicated as Warner in the whole rotten Fusion GPS business.
