Confirmed: The State Department and a Leading Democrat
Townhall.com ^ | June 12, 2019 | Katie Pavlich

Government watchdog Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation released new information Wednesday showing a senior State Department official worked with House Majority Leader (Minority Whip at the time) Steny Hoyer in 2016 on Russia documents provided by British spy Christopher Steele.

"Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation today released 18 pages of documents revealing former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer coordinating with then-House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) national security advisor, Daniel Silverberg to work on Russia dossier materials provided by Christopher Steele," Judicial Watch released.

The documents were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit after requests for communications about the dossier were ignored by State Department officials. They show direct conversations between Fusion GPS' Glenn Simpson, Winer and Nuland about getting together for a meeting about a "Russia related issue."

From Hoyer's office, Daniel Silverberg praised Nuland's work on the issue and called her a "warrior."

"It was a delight to speak today, notwithstanding the context. You've been a warrior on these issues, and I look forward to speaking further to preserve and wherever possible strengthen the important work you have done. I’ll follow up regarding a possible working group meeting," Silverberg wrote to Nuland on November 28, 2016.

As a reminder, former Obama Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Evelyn Farkas admitted the Defense Department rushed to gather as much information as possible about the Trump campaign after President Trump won the 2016 election.

"I was urging my former colleagues and frankly speaking the people on the Hill, it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can, get as much intelligence as you can, before President Obama leaves the administration,” Farkas said during an interview with MSNBC in 2017.

As the layers continue to be pulled back, the more we find out about how comprehensive the effort to take down the Trump presidency with claims of "Russia" really was and that it extended to multiple government agencies.

"These documents further confirm the Obama State Department was obviously a way station for Steele’s smear dossier and other anti-Trump activism,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a statement.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice Inspector General is investigating the origins of the Russia investigation in addition to a U.S. Attorney appointed by Attorney General Bill Barr.

Wasn’t Obama trying to push Nanzi Pelosi out, in favor of Hoyer- until Pelosi made a super show of Obama ass-kissing on TV?

The GOP absolutely threw the House to the Dems with 40 some retirements.
Revenge of the Bush League Republicans.
How dare the citizens elect a President to secure the border and enforce the laws.

?It would not surprise me at all if we learned that Paul Ryan and other “retirements” were the equivalent of a champion boxer “taking a fall” to clear the road for a Democrat takeover of the House. “

Paul Ryan is from my great state of WI. He did nothing but harm to our Prez. DJT. Behind the scenes, he let the 2 years of full control of both houses. It’s like sticking your foot out while a co-worker walks in front of you.

The fact that an old creep like Steny may go down is a bonus.


The entire DNC and democrats in Congress are involved in seditious conspiracy. The party should be prosecuted and dissolved.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

That snarky little c^nt Marie Harf knows more than she would like to say right now too.

The day the Mueller report came out she looked REALLY nervous/scared/upset. She didn't have her usual cocky smug grin on her face that day.

She worked for John Kerry at State.

“...Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer...”

Libya, Libya, Libya. Benghazi and Winer in any way connected?

IMO Victoria Nuland, not Brennan, is the key to everything.

And her relationship to Cankles?

IIRC Nuland was Hillary's primary excuse-maker ala Benghazi.

Winer is one of the webmasters in this whole affair esp. Regarding the State Dept. He is Kerry’s Sid Blumenthal but more dangerous. Check out his background re Libya, Nicaragua, etc. Reserve a lamp pole for him and Kerry.

Saw some of this yesterday... very interesting video admission - only 1:13 long so worth listening. Paraphrasing:

“We were concerned Trump would find out how we knew so much about his campaign” and “we had a lot of information about Russia” and “We wanted to get this information to the Hill, afraid that the information would get hidden by senior people before they left with Obama”

QUOTING TOM FITTON, JUDICIAL WATCH PRESIDENT: "Obama's State Dept
was all hands on deck in terms of targeting Trump (as the candidate then as the president)."

<><> meetings with Glen Simpson, Steele, Clinton aides, Sid Blumenthal and Clinton associate, Cody Shearer.
<><> There was more than one dossier going to the FBI and DOJ.....
<><> there was Christopher Steele's dossier,
<><> and a second dossier created by the State Dept itself, targeting Trump.
<><> shows Jonathan Winer and Glen Simpson were in contact Sept 2016
<><> Winer immediately contacted Victoria Nuland, a top aide at the Obama State Dept.
<><> Post-election, they worked hand in glove with top Dem Steny Hoyer's guy on Russian issues.
<><> (which means if Steny knew, Pelosi knew),
<><> They conveyed info gained from Steele, a close to associate of Jonathan Winer.
