“When Simpson testified before Congress, he said he and Steele acted out of a sense of duty.”

Duty. Yeah, that’s the ticket. Like he was saying to his wife, Morgan Fairchild.

John Solomon has been a great reporter on the fake Russia investigation.

Isn’t Bruce’s wife and HAM radio fan Nellie Ohr a bit of a Russian Expert (who lives in the USA) ??

Yes, she is. This band of conspirators, aided by foreign intelligence (the British) have tied this country up, slandered countless people and wrecked their lives and their families based on filth and innuendo, attempted to overturn a duly held election, worked with their lying cohorts in what passes for the “press”. There needs to be a trial of this entire bunch.

– Transcripts released Wednesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee say that Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS, had dinner with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya both the day before and the day after she met with Donald Trump, Jr. at Trump Tower on June 9, 2016. (11-7-17)

just wanted to make note of this for posterity

There is a specific intent on covering-up the severity of the corruption within the DOJ and FBI; and there is some entity…. some small and obscure -yet motivated- entity… within the institution; that is trying to head-off the cover-up. We might call entity Q! 😎😎😀😎

“Glen asked Chris to speak to the Mother Jones reporter. It was Glen’s Hail Mary attempt,” Ohr wrote.

“right after Trump won the 2016 election.”

That is a seditious conspiracy.

Gallows are in order.

What gets me is no matter where you turn there are Clinton goons woven throughout. trumps lawyers, lawyer, is Old Lanny Davis, yep, a Clinton hack. Jarod Cushner’s lawyer, oh yea, Jamie Gorelic, again, during the Clinton Presidency kept the firewall up so our intelligence agencies could not communicate info regarding al quad a.
My one piece of advice to any and all true republican leaders, there is no one in the democrat party who should be working in the Trump admin!

Of course Simpson felt he had a duty .

When Hillary and Bill Clinton pay you 9 million bucks in campaign money launderer through the law firm of Perkins Coie, LLP they expect you to have duty to perform

Bad things happen to people who do not fulfill their duty to the Clintons

If anyone is interested, listen to Michael Isikoffs' take on Christoper Steele, Glenn Simpson, the FBI, and the Russian dossier.

He was involved early and when Fusion GPS was implicated, he did a podcast to explain his role:

Skullduggery, Episode 4: The spy, the reporter and the memo — the inside story

On this episode of Yahoo News’ Skullduggery, co-hosts Michael Isikoff and Dan Klaidman discuss the House Intelligence Committee’s release of the Nunes memo, which accuses the FBI of bias in the Russia investigation. Within the memo, Isikoff is prominently mentioned as a key player. How did Isikoff come to play such a starring role in this highly anticipated memo?

When I first started reading about that it pegged my meters. Or was she simply trying out a new fun hobby during all this? From my perspective, it reeks like a 4 day old homicide scene.

“Much of the collection about the Trump campaign ties to Russia comes from a former Russian intelligence officer (? not entirely clear) who lives in the U.S.”

Wow. So what was the FISA court told about the identity and credibility of the key source?

Likely: Nothing.

from a reported Russian in the United States who later seemed to disappear, according to Ohr’s notes

The key Russian source for the dossier disappeared?

Was the source Sid Blumenthal on the phone mimicking a thick Russian accent?

Michael Isikoff was really trying to cover his @ss when the Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele, Isikoff link became public.

So was Christopher Steele flying to the US every week or two to sit down with his ‘Russian source’ as he cranked out another weekly report to add to the dossier?

Or did they just talk openly over a phone line?

Doesn’t sound like the kind of tradecraft Steele would have learned at MI6.

John Solomon said that Ohr has terrible handwriting. They should double-check whether Ohr wrote US or UK as to this source.

I was wondering the other day whether the ‘source’ might be retired defected Russian spy living in the UK Sergei Skripal, who was later poisoned (to keep him from talking about the sourcing of the dossier?).
