The Trump-Ukraine whistleblower complaint looks just like ‘Steele Dossier 2.0’
NY Post ^ | September 26 2019 | Sean Davis

Posted on 09/26/2019 11:19:07 PM PDT by knighthawk

An old adage holds that while history doesn’t repeat itself, it rhymes. Not so in the case of the latest manufactured anti-Trump “scandal.” The anonymous whistleblower’s allegations of corruption involving President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, appear to be a note-for-note reproduction of the discredited “dossier” of 2016.

The template for a coordinated media and intelligence community hit against the president was first perfected in the dossier. British ex-spook Christopher Steele compiled the bogus allegations at the behest of the Democrats. Yet it formed the basis for secret wiretaps, human informants and a sprawling, multi-year special-counsel probe of the president.

Liberals presented Steele as an operative with impeccable credentials and a deep network of Russian sources. His reports, we were told, set a gold standard for intelligence, so much so that the FBI regularly relied on his counsel. His claims found immediate purchase in the highest circles of American journalism — until they were utterly debunked along with the whole “collusion” theory.

Sound familiar?

My second thought is: What kind of spooks do we have, where the details make it clear they are spooks?

Note the timing.

The phone call happened on July 25; “whistleblower” filed his complaint the next week (early August). Why then? Because on July 24, Robert Mueller flamed-out in his long-awaited testimony before Congress.

Obviously, the CIA was not happy in seeing their carefully-planned fake Russian Collusion implode that week, so the so-called “whistleblower” probably got together with his CIA buddies (and sources in the White House) that weekend to cook up another bogus scheme to smear the President.

Two clear lessons here -

(1) the CIA’s fingerprints are all over this new episode, so it’s probably logical to conclude that they were one of the driving forces behind the original Russian Collusion too.

(2) Pres. Trump has a problem with hostile entities embedded inside the White House. We all had our suspicions before, now they’re confirmed.

Fortunately for Pres. Trump, all his potential Democratic opponents are still incompetent idiots - apparently the CIA can’t do anything about that - so his re-election chances are still very good, even with the ongoing malicious Establishment subterfuge.

What kind of dumbass spook thinks they are smarter than everyone else while simultaneously making about half of the country want to beat their brains out? They have declared war on us and our president. They might not win.

We need to take a wrecking ball to the FBI and the CIA. They have become too dangerous to US Citizens. They have declared war on us.

Tell that to Barr... sheesh. These fudds will keep clinging to their sht organization.

The whole security clearance process is a joke.

Patriotic soldiers who do not believe in the communist global warming hoax destroying America are asked questions about allegiance to America from interviewers who believe in this sht!

Imagine being a Ukrainian who sadly happens to have communist family members but comes to America to shed all that, being interviewed by a domestic democrat idiot who believes in the bullsht the communists are saying, but somehow must claim he will not betray country to said foreign communists pushing the hoax, but the interviewer himself believes the hoax and shows hostility to the interviewee for rejecting said hoax!

This is what is happening when these communist coddling democrats interview the like of Trump who does all he can to keep in check foreign interference and corruption in Ukraine.

Enters Blumbering Barr who never sees anything wrong a FBI agent could ever do...

Barr is waking up today too late. He practiced his bagpipes while they cooked up a scheme that smears HIM. Now he can’t arrest MCabe or Comey or any of them. Not the guiltiest of them. Because the Brown SHirt Media and the Rats will accuse him of corruption. He had a shot and he blew it. The GOP had a chance to capitalize on #FusionCollusion but that window has closed now. Unless Barr gets off his ass and declares war on them he is “out of action”. Frankly, IMHO, he has been purposefully out of action since he shut Mueller down. That was his only job and he did it and went back to his bagpipes.

I am not even sure Barr shut down that Mueller thing.

The silver lining is that this shifting to the Biden gate means democrats have abandoned the Mueller report. The whole thing seemed to have shut down despite Barr.

But as you say, now they are accusing Barr of wrongdoing in this, and this was a move by democrats to get him out of comission.

It occurs to me Barr has one thin path here that could shut all this down. Arrest Hunter Biden. Then Trump’s call becomes Law Enforcement, not Intel. Schiff has nothing but smoke in his hands. Of course, Barr wouldn’t arrest McCabe or Comey when he SHOULD have and now he can’t. Which is precisely why this is being done. By our own goddam CIA. These Intel Agencies need to be destroyed. The FBI and CIA have to go.

I'd find out whose idea it was to file the phone call in a "special file"....cuz that little item reeks of "setup".

I heard that there are like 3 transcribers.....then they compare notes to resolve discrepancies....then someone makes a final transcript.

Now some expert said they are typing like crazy. Well my son types 120 wpm. So does my best friend. They shouldn't miss a word. She is a professional transcriber.

So where are the original 3 transcripts.

This has accelerated way beyond phone call transcripts. Once Soros gets his AstroTurfed protestors into their ring of the three ring circus DC is gonna be on fire.

If this complaint was filed in early August the “whistleblower” had a lot of help. A lot. It was clearly written by a group of lawyers, not some solitary guy even with the assistance of one lawyer. Not in one or even two weeks.

This mess has Fusion GPS fingerprints all over it. Hearsay evidence can’t be used in court so why can it be used in a matter that is much more serious than a court case?

Barr swallows. Despite his work on organized crime, he’s still a gun grabber at heart.
