A review of the data pertaining to the accusations in the phony Steele dossier about a Trump-Russia Bank connection discovered the sources used is most likely the same source the FBI used to obtain a FISA warrant to investigate the Trump-Alfa Bank connection.
This person also just happens to be a radical Hillary Clinton supporter!
Its been more than two years since the 2016 election and Americans still dont really know the sources for the phony Steele dossier used by the FBI and DOJ to obtain FISA warrants to spy on candidate and then President Trump.
This nightmare for President Trump all started in June, 2016. After news broke that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked, a group of prominent computer scientists went on alert. The group of individuals, led by a Hillary supporter, started snooping around the Trump Tower computers to allegedly see if these servers had also been hacked.
This group was led by Indiana University professor and staunch Hillary supporter, Jean Camp. Professor Camp, according to Circa was a staunch Hillary supporter:
A respected computer scientist who raised concerns about a possible connection between President Trump and a Russian bank is an unabashed Hillary Clinton supporter who made multiple small donations to the Democrats presidential campaign around the time she and her colleagues surfaced the allegations.

There was a time, not long ago, when I thought of GP as about equal to Info Wars. Now it reads like those old AP teleprinters I used when I’d write up newscasts when I worked the radio station in my college days at Fordham. They were boring but straight news. You could trust what came out of them.

I am not sure anyone has clearly stated it, but Hildy is the mind behind ALL this horrible division and corruption... the mind, you understand, not the pocketbook. Hildy would never spend a penny of her own, she's far too greedy for that.
Look at all the people who have corrupted themselves - or died - in her service. They never thought that she would lose!

I am not sure who you refer to with 'him', but it is my guess that someone with the gravitas to tell her 'No' has told her 'No'. Her whole life's dream drowned in a sinkhole. BUT, H3ll hath no fury...

But a small, tightly knit community of computer scientists who pursue such worksome at cybersecurity firms, some in academia, some with close ties to three-letter federal agenciesis also spurred by a sense of shared idealism and considers itself the benevolent posse that chases off the rogues and rogue states that try to purloin sensitive data and infect the internet with their bugs. Were the Union of Concerned Nerds, in the wry formulation of the Indiana University computer scientist L. Jean Camp. In late spring, this community of malware hunters placed itself in a high state of alarm. Word arrived that Russian hackers had infiltrated the servers of the Democratic National Committee, an attack persuasively detailed by the respected cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. The computer scientists posited a logical hypothesis, which they set out to rigorously test: If the Russians were worming their way into the DNC, they might very well be attacking other entities central to the presidential campaign, including Donald Trumps many servers. We wanted to help defend both campaigns, because we wanted to preserve the integrity of the election, says one of the academics, who works at a university that asked him not to speak with reporters because of the sensitive nature of his work. . .In late July, one of these scientistswho asked to be referred to as Tea Leaves, a pseudonym that would protect his relationship with the networks and banks that employ him to sift their datafound what looked like malware emanating from Russia. The destination domain had Trump in its name, which of course attracted Tea Leaves attention. But his discovery of the data was pure happenstancea surprising needle in a large haystack of DNS lookups on his screen. I have an outlier here that connects to Russia in a strange way, he wrote in his notes. He couldnt quite figure it out at first. But what he saw was a bank in Moscow that kept irregularly pinging a server registered to the Trump Organization on Fifth Avenue. . .The researchers quickly dismissed their initial fear that the logs represented a malware attack. The communication wasnt the work of bots. The irregular pattern of server lookups actually resembled the pattern of human conversationconversations that began during office hours in New York and continued during office hours in Moscow. It dawned on the researchers that this wasnt an attack, but a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to an entity called Alfa Bank. The researchers had initially stumbled in their diagnosis because of the odd configuration of Trumps server. Ive never seen a server set up like that, says Christopher Davis, who runs the cybersecurity firm HYAS InfoSec Inc. and won a FBI Director Award for Excellence for his work tracking down the authors of one of the worlds nastiest botnet attacks. . .(The company said in a statement: Spectrum Health does not have a relationship with Alfa Bank or any of the Trump organizations. We have concluded a rigorous investigation with both our internal IT security specialists and expert cyber security firms. Our experts have conducted a detailed analysis of the alleged internet traffic and did not find any evidence that it included any actual communications (no emails, chat, text, etc.) between Spectrum Health and Alfa Bank or any of the Trump organizations. While we did find a small number of incoming spam marketing emails, they originated from a digital marketing company, Cendyn, advertising Trump Hotels.) Spectrum accounted for a relatively trivial portion of the traffic. Eighty-seven percent of the DNS lookups involved the two Alfa Bank servers. Its pretty clear that its not an open mail server, Camp told me. These organizations are communicating in a way designed to block other people out. :
"Was a Trump Server Communicating With Russia? This spring, a group of computer scientists set out to determine whether hackers were interfering with the Trump campaign. They found something they werent expecting." By Franklin Foer (10/31/2016)

An anonymous IT expert known only as Tea Leaves who had access to the supposedly private technical information was sufficiently alarmed by it to pass it onto a group of computer scientists. This group then passed the data to American media, including CNN and The New York Times. . .CNN reports that "Tea Leaves" now refuses to be interviewed through an intermediary. Trump Organisation under further FBI investigation for link to Russian bank (03/10/2017)In June, 2016, after news broke that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked, a group of prominent computer scientists went on alert. Reports said that the infiltrators were probably Russian, which suggested to most members of the group that one of the countrys intelligence agencies had been involved. They speculated that if the Russians were hacking the Democrats they must be hacking the Republicans, too. We thought there was no way in the world the Russians would just attack the Democrats, one of the computer scientists, who asked to be identified only as Max, told me. The group was smalla handful of scientists, scattered across the countryand politically diverse. (Max described himself as a John McCain Republican.). . .I met with Max and his lawyer repeatedly, and interviewed other prominent computer experts. (Among them were Jean Camp, of Indiana University; Steven Bellovin, of Columbia University; Daniel Kahn Gillmor, of the A.C.L.U.; Richard Clayton, of the University of Cambridge; Matt Blaze, of the University of Pennsylvania; and Paul Vixie, of Farsight Security.) Several of them independently reviewed the records that Maxs group had discovered and confirmed that they would be difficult to fake. A senior aide on Capitol Hill, who works in national security, said that Maxs research is widely respected among experts in computer science and cybersecurity. . .In August, 2016, Max decided to reveal the data that he and his colleagues had assembled. If the covert communications were real, this potential threat to our country needed to be known before the election, he said. After some discussion, he and his lawyer decided to hand over the findings to Eric Lichtblau, of the Times. Lichtblau met with Max, and began to look at the data. . .As Lichtblau talked to experts, he became increasingly convinced that the data suggested a substantive connection. Not only is there clearly something there but theres clearly something that someone has gone to great lengths to conceal, he told me. Jean Camp, of Indiana University, had also vetted some of the data. These people who should not be communicating are clearly communicating, she said. In order to encourage discussion among analysts, Camp posted a portion of the raw data on her Web site. . .Over time, the F.B.I.s interest in the possibility of an Alfa Bank connection seemed to wane. An agency official told Lichtblau that there could be an innocuous explanation for the computer traffic. Then, on October 30th, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid wrote a letter to James Comey, the director of the F.B.I., charging that the Bureau was withholding information about close ties and coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia. We had a window, Lichtblau said. His story about Alfa Bank ran the next day. But it bore only a modest resemblance to what he had filed. The headline Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russiaseemed to exonerate the Trump campaign. And, though the article mentioned the server, it omitted any reference to the computer scientists who had told Lichtblau that the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank might have been communicating. We were saying that the investigation was basically overand it was just beginning, Lichtblau told me. That same day, Slate ran a story, by Franklin Foer, that made a detailed case for the possibility of a covert link between Alfa Bank and Trump. Foers report was based largely on information from a colleague of Maxs who called himself Tea Leaves. Foer quoted several outside experts; most said that there appeared to be no other plausible explanation for the data. . .In April, 2017, Lichtblau left the Times, after fifteen yearsin part, he said, because of the way that the Alfa Bank story was handled. He went to work for CNN, but resigned less than two months later, amid controversy over another story that he had worked on, about the Trump aide Anthony Scaramucci. This April, Lichtblau returned to the Times newsroom for a celebration: he had been part of a team of Times reporters that was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for its work on other aspects of the Trump campaign. . .Alfa Bank hired two cybersecurity firms, Mandiant and Stroz Friedberg, to review the data. Both firms reported that they had found no evidence of communications with the Trump Organization. The bank also began trying to uncover the anonymous sources in the Slate piece. Attorneys representing Alfa contacted Jean Camp, telling her that they were considering legal action and asking her to identify the researchers who had assembled the data. She declined to reveal their names. This is what tenure is for, she told me. Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign? A team of computer scientists sifted through records of unusual Web traffic in search of answers. (10/15/2018)

Perkins Coie partner Michael Sussmann, whose firm had been retained by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clintons 2016 presidential campaign, provided information to Baker and at least one journalist ahead of the FBIs application for a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, Carter Page. Perkins Coie also was the law firm that had hired Fusion GPSon behalf of the DNC and the Clinton campaignwhich in turn hired former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele to produce the dossier that has become known as the Steele dossier. Sussmanns identity as an outside source to Baker had previously been reported. But new details regarding the specific information that Sussman provided to Baker, as well as their interactions and timing, and the FBIs response, were revealed in Bakers testimonies. . .During their initial meeting, Sussmann told Baker he had cyber experts that had obtained some information that they thought they should get into the hands of the FBI. Who these cyber experts were and where they got their information was not disclosed. . .Sussmann, whose Perkins Coie bio describes him as a nationally-recognized privacy, cybersecurity and national security lawyer, was also the lawyer the DNC turned to on April 28, 2016, after discovering the alleged hack of their servers. Immediately following the alleged discovery, DNC CEO Amy Dacey called Sussmann at Perkins Coie. After speaking with Dacey, Sussmann contacted Shawn Henry, CSO and president of cybersecurity technology firm CrowdStrike. Sussmann was never interviewed by the FBI, which Baker found surprising, noting, It is logical to me that we would go back and interview [Sussmann]. Sussmann was interviewed by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on Dec. 18, 2017. . .The other article published on Oct. 31, A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump by Mother Jones reporter David Corn, provided the first public reporting on the existence of the Steele dossier. . .Notably, Corns article also mentioned Alfa Bank. . .All three articles came out on Oct. 31, 2016, including The New York Times article. Recall, the The New York Times had been asked to refrain from publishing while the FBI was investigating the matter. Which begs the question, were the authors of these other two, highly coincidentally timed articles also asked to delay their publication? It certainly seems as if all three were given the green light at the same time. This raises the question of whether Sussmann was also leaking to Franklin Foer of Slate and David Corn of Mother Jones. Or whether Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, whose firm had hired Steele, was acting as a conduit to these individuals.:

This is from 2017, and it helps show what we already knew.
The entire investigation was a conspiracy to frame the President.

Beleive it of not this stuff was all over half-chan and the_donald subreddit over a year ago. The PROBLEM since it occurred over TWO YEARS ago remains the same.
When is SOMEONE with BALLS enough to INDICT and PROSECUTE going to emerge and step forward?
