he House Select Committee on Intelligence is now investigating former Secretary of State John F. Kerry’s possible role into the unverified dossier paid for by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton Campaign, this reporter has learned. The dossier, assembled by a former British spy, laid the foundation for the FBI’s investigation into alleged collusion between President Trump and Russia and was the essential piece of evidence used by the FBI to get a warrant to spy on a former volunteer for the Trump campaign.
For more than a month, the committee has been in its second phase of investigations focused on former Obama State Department officials and their role in either transmitting information or using information provided by a former British spy and investigator Christopher Steele. Steele was hired by embattled research firm Fusion GPS, also under several congressional and Senate investigations.
But it was in February when questions surfaced regarding Kerry’s possible involvement or knowledge of the dossier.

I don’t have time to delve into this in detail. I hardly have time to finish my book(s). But this is too important to not be knowledgeable enough to destroy those who parrot the lefty/MSM narrative.
My take after reviewing this and other info tonight, based in part upon The Hill reporter Alison Spann’s “four pillars” supporting the dossier:
Six very compelling pieces to this puzzle:
1. Christopher Steele: In June 2016, Fusion GPS retained Christopher Steele, a private British corporate intelligence investigator and former MI-6 agent, to research any Russian connections to Trump. Steele produced a 35-page series of memos from June to December 2016, which became the document known as the Donald Trump–Russia dossier. Steele was paid by the Clinton campaign and the DNC and who paid Kremlin operatives for the dirt on Trump. Steele shopped the dossier to numerous journalists in the summer of 2016 after calling his buddies in the Kremlin for dirt on Trump, including Yahoo’s Michael Isikoff. He never went to Russia for the information.
2. Investigative journalist Michael Isikoff’s article he wrote about Carter Page prior to the election was used to obtain a spy warrant against the former Trump campaign adviser. On September 23, 2016, Yahoo’s Michael Isikoff reported on leaks he had received that the U.S. government was conducting an intelligence investigation to determine whether Carter Page, as a Trump adviser, had opened up a private communications channel with such “senior Russian officials” as Igor Sechin and Igor Diveykin to discuss lifting economic sanctions if Trump became president.
It is now known that Isikoff’s main source for the story was Fusion’s Glenn Simpson. Isikoff’s report is rife with allegations found in the dossier, although the dossier is not referred to as such; it is described as “intelligence reports” that “U.S. officials” were actively investigating — i.e., Steele’s reports were described in a way that would lead readers to assume they were official U.S. intelligence reports.
3. Sidney Blumenthal, a longtime associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton, fed information to Christopher Steele via Bruce Ohr...the same Bruce Ohr, the former associate deputy attorney general at the Department of Justice, who did not reveal that Fusion GPS - which compiled opposition research on Donald Trump that Ohr brought to the FBI - was paying his wife Nellie.
4. Former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer’s role - currently Aussie Ambassador to London - surrounds a 2006 memorandum of understanding between the Australian government and the Clinton Foundation’s Clinton HIV/AIDs Initiative (CHAI) which is alleged to have funnelled $25 million from the Aussies into the Clinton Foundation. Downer is inextricably-linked to Clintons. This information was withheld from Congress when it was disclosed that Downer went to the FBI with tales of a drunken story told by George Papadopoulos to Downer in a London bar in 2016, essentially the catalyst which prompted the FISA surveillance of Carter Page at Trump Tower.
5. The Clinton’s bought Andrew McCabe and compromised him earlier. You know...Deputy Director FBI Andrew McCabe. It was summer of 2015 that the money really began to flow to his wife’s campaign coffers after a juicy $200k infusion from the Virginia Democratic Party...this after Clinton confidant and Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe used $467,500 of his PAC money to “help” Jill McCabe in her bid for Congress. This was at the same time the FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton was initiated in July 2015. McCabe told the Intelligence Committee that the FBI “would not have pursued placing a Trump campaign adviser under surveillance without Steele’s unverified “Trump dossier.”
6. Jonathan Winer, a long-time colleague of Kerry and who served as the former envoy for Libya during his tenure at the Department, was one of several Clinton allies who were also connected to the State Department and the dossier. Winer joins the cast of Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer, a former journalist who went on to work for the Clintons, who appeared to be feeding Steele information. It was in September 2016 in which Shearer alleged that the Russians had compromising information on Trump of a “sexual and financial nature.”
Also in September, 2016 Steele briefed Winer on the dossier at a Washington Hotel, according to an expose recently published in The New Yorker. Winer prepared his summary and shared it with former Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland and Jon Finer, who was then chief of staff for Sec. Kerry. Kerry was then briefed by Finer several days later.
The revelation of Winer and Kerry’s involvement in dissemination of the dossier prompted Congress to send letters to other former Obama administration officials as a prequel to eventual depositions, in part due to Winer’s friendship with Steele and his role in sharing more than 100 of Steele’s reports with the Russia experts at the State Department.
As cited by Sara Carter, Winer & Nuland have both gone public with their own crafted tales designed to preempt impending Congressional testimony. Winer wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post on Feb 8th and Nuland appeared on CBS’ Face the Nation to deflect her involvement stating that she told Steele of his 4 page summary: “That’s something for the FBI to investigate.”
Oh yeah: From 2008 to 2013, Winer worked at the global public affairs and strategic consultancy firm APCO Worldwide, where he served as senior vice president. Before that, his bio relates he served under the Bill Clinton administration as “the State Department’s first Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Law Enforcement from 1994-1999.” He returned to the State Department in 2013.
From 2007 until 2016, APCO did extensive pro bono work for the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). Winer was neck-deep in the Clinton sphincter.
The “house of cards” is falling all right...but it’s not at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave; it’s at 15 Old House Lane, Chappaqua, NY.
Rather than “house of cards,” more like “circle the wagons...”
Somebody please correct any errors. This meets every definition of “conspiracy.” The final question, ironically, is “What did he know and when did he know it?” (0)
I never thought I’d live to see a scandal eclipse the Nixon White House DESPITE the Washington Compost et al.

bravo!

another post to not miss ping!
Shot him and then hang him for treason
Just another little tidbit:
18 U.S. Code Chapter 115 - TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
So many crimes, so many felonies, so many Federal Laws broken, so many permutations, so many interconnections. It's going to take years. . but the time to start is NOW!
He should already BE in jail.
He’s a traitor and should have been brought up on treason charges for his actions.
“But it was in February when questions surfaced regarding Kerry’s possible involvement or knowledge of the dossier.”
The stupid arrogant snot act is just to mask his perfidy.
No, he’ll mumble something unintelligent and pompous that makes no sense. Those that hear will think, “he’s so stupid, he has to be honest. No international criminal conspiracy would ever trust such a doofus.” He’s stupid like a fox.
Good. That Dufus needs justice served on him for his shenanigans after Vietnam. Commie sympathizer.
Kerry, Clinton and Podesta ARE all hate filled political operatives.
They did not hold office when the slanderous Steel Dossier was prepared and planted.
However:
<><>Omaba and Lynch were in office, and knew what was happening.
<><>Comey violated the trust of his office and can never regain his honor.
<><>Kerry, Clinton and Podesta never had any honor.
Heh.....good one.
The hellish depths to which these people stooped to stop Trump is just appalling.
Just goes to show.....they had plenty to hide and were scared out of their minds realizing what Trump would uncover.
Officers cannot be busted to an enlisted rank. Officers are Dismissed from the service (equals a DD)
Check out his military records. If he was convicted of treason he could have been executed. The charges are not listed as it was a secret court martial.
“We got confirmation that Kerry is headin’ south on Baka-Daka-Laka Street!”
And John F. Kerry wouldn’t lie to investigators or congress, nope, no, oh wait...
