Cleta Mitchell is a top campaign-finance lawyer in Washington, D.C. This year she’s also been the target of a political and media smear that reveals some of the nastiness at work in the allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
A partner at Foley & Lardner, Ms. Mitchell was astonished to find herself dragged into the Russia investigation on March 13 when Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee issued an interim report. They wrote that they still wanted to interview “key witnesses,” including Ms. Mitchell, who they claimed was “involved in or may have knowledge of third-party political outreach from the Kremlin to the Trump campaign, including persons linked to the National Rifle Association (NRA).”
Two days later the McClatchy news service published a story with the headline “NRA lawyer expressed concerns about group’s Russia ties, investigators told.” The story cited two anonymous sources claiming Congress was investigating Ms. Mitchell’s worries that the NRA had been “channeling Russia funds into the 2016 elections to help Donald Trump.”
Ms. Mitchell says none of this is true. She hadn’t done legal work for the NRA in at least a decade, had zero contact with it in 2016, and had spoken to no one about its actions. She says she told this to McClatchy, which published the story anyway.
Now we’re learning how this misinformation got around, and the evidence points to Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS, the outfit that financed the infamous Steele dossier. New documents provided to Congress show that Mr. Simpson, a Fusion co-founder, was feeding information to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. In an interview with House investigators this week, Mr. Ohr confirmed he had known Mr. Simpson for some time, and passed at least some of his information along to the FBI.

Thanks. As an NRA member, I am not surprised that the Hillary campaign would try to ensnare the NRA into the Russia collusion narrative. Cleta should sue.
I agree they got to go but not before they give it up. Give them an option: regular or extra crispy. Or slow and painful or quick and relatively painless. Their choice. This threat to the republic must be dealt with in a way that guarantees it does not happen again.
Obama wasn’t stupid because he knew no one would dare actually prosecute the members of the Deep State.
So far, he’s right.
They were so sure of themselves winning that they didn't think this would ever see the light of day. The bad part is these people will get away with it regardless.
The Deep state is comprised of the assets owned/controlled by the satanic pedophiles and human traffickers within the conglomeration of global financial and media companies.
Elected officials, career bureaucrats and other well placed, yet compromised individuals within the IC, justice and court systems that they have bribed, blackmailed, threatened (eg Roberts) and/or voluntarily recruited (eg Hussein, Beast, et al) round out their core control pressure points to effect overall leverage.
By the time one gets down the org chart to a lackey like Hussein it's quite evident just how dull (clinical term for low IQ) he actually is. The Deep state is pretty entrenched, but not that 'good' in terms of actually being able to accomplish tasks. Their long advantage was lack of opposition. We are know witnessed what a unified command operation looks like to defeat the cabal.
Obama is untouchable because everyone (Trump excepted) in the District of Corruption is terrified their own complicity in the Kenyanesian Usurpation will be exposed if any of them are prosecuted.
It was the DNC HQ in that election cycle.
Heh......nice photoshopping and captioning.
Amen!!
If God is with US, who can stand against us!
Thanks...
LMAO
So far, he’s right. "

“I don’t know why the Dems have taken up the Ukrainian cause, but I think they should be careful and not drag us into this.”
President Trump, not the Dems has taken the lead in providing arms for Ukraine’s army to protect themselves from the Russian bear encroachment in the east.
The nation is coming off decades of trauma with communism, the gulags and millions murdered under the Soviet regime.
They are looking to the West to integrate a future and being the second biggest country in Europe; it’s the inevitable right direction.
Hatreds will not die from the Soviet man-made famine that killed seven million or the gulags under Soviet domination any time soon.
Robert Conquest offered the best insight into all of it. His books include “Harvest of Sorrow,” the definitive book on Stalin’s terror famine.

When Trump said “Drain the swamp!” I had no idea it was this big! I figured some congress critters, the State Dept, people like Holder, etc.
Hannity interviewed a guy a few days ago (Sorry I missed his name) who talked about the revolving door , pay to play between gobs a people with security clearances and corporations.
#43. You got the wrong “ intelligence service”. Obama’s rise has all the earmarks, fingerprints, and operatives of the KGB through their American arm, the Communist Party of the United States of America.
They had decades in which to get their agents and accolades in place. Successful targets included Albert Einstein, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and Barack Obama.
Did you know that Roberts attended events at Comet Ping Pong? Perhaps not so unwilling a participant, no?
Thanks.
