Britain needs its own Mueller report on Russian ‘interference’
UK Guardian ^

Posted on 12/12/2019 10:23:29 PM PST by ameribbean expat

The efforts in both countries had much in common. They were aided by a transatlantic cast of characters loosely organised around the Trump and Brexit campaigns. Many of them worked in concert and interacted with Russians close to the Kremlin. The outcome in both countries was also eerily similar. Both countries have been at war with themselves in the three years since, pulling them back from the international stage at a time when Putin has consolidated his position in Crimea, Ukraine, Syria and beyond. ***** "Glenn R Simpson and Peter Fritsch, both former journalists, are the founders of the research firm Fusion GPS. Their new book is Crime in Progress: The Secret History of the Trump-Russia Investigation"

No you don’t. You Brits have already been experiencing the run around with Brexit.

The left in Britain are as devoid of fresh ideas as the left here in the USA. They suck up to Russia and try to sell “we on the right are doing it.” It’s starting to irritate me. Mr Johnson should tell them to bugger off.

Anything that goes against the globalists is Russia. It’s like Hillary’s Groundhog Day.

They lost big and the Remoaners lack the votes to stall Brexit.

As the ladies in the south learn to say “My isn’t that nice!!” Now Trump can welcome Britain into the US/UK trade pact. Seems to me we’ve been partners in other endeavors. I also recollect Poland, the Czechs, and a few other Central Europe countries were with us. Winning I like winning.

The thing about the Left is - they never give up. The Right, when it loses, shakes hands and wishes the opposition luck.

The Left fights every defeat - throught the courst (with Leftist judges) or by cheating...and usually wins in the end.

In the USA, the Left is in control, even though they make up about 20% of the population.

If the Right fought for its principles like the Left fights of its, the country would be a much better place today.

So the next step is to start impeachment proceedings against Boris Johnson... Labor should start hearings in about an hour...

The Guardian/FusionGPS/Steele/Clinton - how extraordinary they continue with their lies, while President Trump faced phony investigations & now a phony impeachment!

11 Dec: The Federalist: Hillary Clinton, Chris Steele Allege Boris Johnson Is A Russian Stooge
Given his dismal track record, it’s stunning that Christopher Steele has again surfaced, just before the U.K. election that will decide Brexit, to claim that Johnson is a Russian asset.
By Willis L. Krumholz
It started last month, when the U.K.’s leftwing Guardian newspaper reported the existence of a secret report (LINK) that said the Russians spent five years “cultivating leading Tories including Johnson…”... The 50-page “dossier” from the U.K.’s intelligence and security committee is “based on analysis from Britain’s intelligence agencies, as well as third-party experts such as the former MI6 officer Cristopher Steele…”…

Right behind Steele is Hillary Clinton, who is saying to the British press that it is “shameful” the U.K. government won’t publish Steele’s report before the election. She also told the BBC that she’s “dumbfounded” (LINK) that Johnson’s government could get away with not releasing the report, allegedly damaging to Johnson…

Yup. The Poles, Czechs, and Hungarians have more in common with English-speaking counties than most all of Europe. Partner with our allies and let the others drown in their failing globalist Marxist/socialist agendas.

Interesting, how the left, who are students and devotees of Soviet style socialism, suddenly blame Russia for all of the victories of the right/freedom lovers.

They scoffed at us for decades for our concerns about the USSR. But we became less concerned when the USSR toppled—still concerned, but no longer at the fever pitch of when we were afraid of nuclear missiles being lobbed our way.

And then Hillary comes along, pretending that the cold war never ended and screeching about collusion with Russia. It looks like she believes that conservatives are still, as the left characterized our concerns, paranoid about Russia. And now, the left in the UK seem to be adopting Hillary’s failed strategy.

If we are to believe the left, Trump is Russia’s puppet, doing their bidding. Who knew that Russia is such an advocate of economic prosperity, peace, and secure borders? If that is how Russia is these days, then no wonder freedom-minded Brits want to work with Russia!
