Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson was in contact with a State Department official who had close contacts with dossier author Christopher Steele, according to emails recently obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The September 2016 emails show Simpson was desperate to make contact with Jonathan Winer, a longtime associate of then-Secretary of State John Kerry.
Winer has been confirmed as a source for an article published the following day. That article, written by journalist Michael Isikoff, was the first to publicize Steele’s claims about Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
One of the co-founders of the opposition research firm that commissioned the Steele dossier was in contact with a State Department official in the days before a news article was published laying out allegations contained in the salacious anti-Trump report.
Emails obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show that Glenn Simpson, an executive at Fusion GPS, contacted Jonathan Winer, who then served as State’s special envoy for Libya, on Sept. 19 and Sept. 22, 2016. That was days ahead of the publication of a Yahoo! News article that was the first story to cite information gathered by Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the dossier.
Winer, a longtime aide to former Secretary of State John Kerry, was a source for that article, which laid out Steele’s allegations about Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser who would become the target of FBI surveillance.
The emails, which were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed on TheDCNF’s behalf by Judicial Watch, show for the first time that Simpson had direct contact with a State Department official.

P
Schiffty, Winer....meeting with GPS....you can’t make this Schifft up.
And let us not forget that Glenn Simpson also met with Natalia Veselnitskaya on the night BEFORE the Trump Tower meeting...AND the night after.
Gee. I wonder why.
These rotten, crooked, and corrosive people deserve to be thrown in jail for life.
Collusion!
Russian collusion!

There. A bit more info.
So, is Simpson the wussified, Liberal hack version of Ray Donovan?
An organized coup against a duly elected President is treason...
Libya?
Connect the dots and follow the damn political power play by a party led by Barky and and small H ->hillary. It was a gigantic conspiracy and coup attempt.
They’ve pushed this far enough. The time for these games to stop is now, before they open up a can of patriot whoop-ass that they can’t put back in the bottle. The law enforcement, the DOJ and all the agencies belong to Trump now. Hey democrats, you’ve overplayed your hand once again. If I were you guys I’d fold now and maybe live to play another day.
Be warned leftist scum.
....and not a damned thing is being done about it.
Winer - the playmaker for Kerry on much of foreign policy. Congress (Republicans) should do a full field investigation of his activities on the Far Left. They might find a thing or two that would raise eyebrows of normal people.
So far only one published item on him at www.keywiki.org, search under Jonathan Winer or “New York Marxist School”.
I suspect he was a key Kerry hitman during the so-called “Contra Investigations” esp. relating to admitted saboteur Tony Avirgan and the Sandinista attempted assassination of former Sandinista leader Eden Pastora.
It would be interesting to find out if Winer had any official or unofficial connection to Hanoi propagandist/communist atrocities denier Gary Porter who was hired by Kerry to work on foreign affairs, reportedly including supporting the Sandinista Marxists in the late 80’s.
Dem response: “This proves that our state department was fighting for American values”
These people make Benedict Arnold seem incredibly virtuous in comparison.
oh, you said the magic word: Libya.
“..Glenn Simpson, an executive at Fusion GPS, contacted Jonathan Winer, who then served as State’s special envoy for Libya, on Sept. 19 and Sept. 22, 2016...”
He must know a LOT, huh??????

Because all the hours of investigations House Republicans held, were so instrumental in the resulting indictm....oh...wait...
We shall see ....
