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.

While I do beleive we have a future I don’t understand why people continue to think it is here. In a world that is embracing Open Borders, we, too can go anywhere we want. We suffer from this delusion we have no where else to go. We don’t NEED a place to go enough of us could go where ever we wanted.
Thanks for the input. A long read indeed but worth it. I’m amazed that these people expected to keep this buried.
I’m even more interested in seeing what Trump does once Mueller publishes his report. No risk of Obstruction of Justice after that. Trump needs to clean house. Big Time.
meanwhile, the Dems and their colluding, FakeNewsMSM enablers will devote every minute of every day to attacks on the President. Alinsky-style, they will stay on the offensive.
time for Trump supporters to learn a lesson and get on the offensive.
and time for the President to declassify and release all documents.
What totally blew me away in Trump’s speech at CPAC was his outright (and justified) ridicule of the Left and of the investigation.
That was brilliant. Leftist heads exploding all around like popcorn.
Well, you and I disagree and we can leave it amicably at that.
I don’t think we are disagreeing at all. I think we both are striving for the same thing I just think you are restricting yourself needlessly in believing our future is tied to this soil.

Must be Contreras, who suddenly recused himself from the Flynn matter..

“I don’t think it is hyperbole to state that our Republic is at a critical juncture.”
It most certainly isn’t hyperbole.
The GOP talks... talks a lot before an election, and it sounds good... but there never was any action. The deep state has been ‘working’ for long enough that they almost had it... except for Trump and his dumb, deplorable voters. They need to get rid of that bunch.. they’re on Trump and he is the one thing between them and the rest of us.. for we are next, if they succeed.
For those who do not know or recognize what socialism is, you’d better learn fast... you vote them in and you will be toast....all of the U S will be toast and controlled like Russia... like Cuba.. like China... you want free? it is not free.. it comes with a cost... a high price.
If we can’t take the GOP for it’s word, you certainly can’t take the socialists for their word that they will do anything for you but own you.. lock, stock and barrel.
Graham says he is going to call all of them in...WHEN? he is one who talked before an election and then never delivered... he threw a fit at the Kavanaugh hearings.... and won approval... he’d better follow up. if the dims can already bring in and question ... why aren’t the GOP also?
What they did while Trump was in Viet Nam, is tanamount to treason...ALL they do is tanamount to treason.. they are trying to ovethrow an election and place their socialist in the seat of power, and take control of our govenment and country and people. And the GOP is treating it like it’s just ordinary... How do you wake up even those who sit in congress... to stop the madness?
To see schiff or any of those goons, get on cameara and say the things they do... no conscience.. no nothing.. just hate and it’s getting old.
Judicial Watch, Tom FItton, has done the work congress won’t do.... thanks to anyone who fights this. He certainly has been at it.
Thank you for sharing!!
Conspiracy to commit treason on a grand scale...when do the trials begin?
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.
And he hired the wife of the number 4 in the DOJ who fed these falsehoods to the FBI...
Don’t forget Simpson was paying journalists at major outlets to run stories on behalf of his clients...the media is just as culpable in this grand conspiracy to commit treason.
Or vice versa.
All it’s going to take is one of them to go down. They’re all very comfortable knowing that nothing will happen to them. Kind of like the mafia guys back in the day when they would get locked up and spend a year or two in a cushy prison with their goom-bahs. When RICO hit and they were staring at 15, 20, 30 years behind bars, things changed. So to, will it change with these folks.
McCabe struts around thinking that nothing will ever happen to him. We’ll see.
It certainly showed them to be the spineless, cowardly scumbags we know them to be. Boy, did that piss me off.
To me, it is like putting the boot to a man who is down in a fight.
