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 TrumpRussia 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, Yahoos 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 Isikoffs main source for the story was Fusions Glenn Simpson. Isikoffs 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., Steeles 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 Downers role - currently Aussie Ambassador to London - surrounds a 2006 memorandum of understanding between the Australian government and the Clinton Foundations 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 Clintons 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 Steeles 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: “Thats 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 Departments 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.
