Chances are that Nellie Ohr then working for Fusion GPS was working directly to create these “sources.”

Hell, Nellie Ohr had a single side band Ham radio at her personal residence to circumvent any regular traceable communication. Its espionage, you couldn’t make it up any better if you were writing a Clancy spy novel.

“Mr. Steele says he has notes and recordings from his talks with the primary sub-source that he implied will contradict the source’s IG testimony...”

“has notes”

It never ceases to amaze me that note taking is always considered to be inviolate. It is accepted that people will lie verbally, but people never, ever, write down something that is a lie. And back dating a current write-up to cast something in a different light — never in world history has it ever happened.

“See my notes? I memorialized that conversation. This is what was said. It is true. It has to be. It was written down.”

... they had wiretapped PDJT a “zillion” times.
_____________________________________________________
PDJT was a known quantity. He wrote 25 books, appeared regularly on several credible, hour-long talk shows, wrote op eds and generally made it known he disagreed with the Cabal.

Note that he still got invited to all the major events and people still begged for his cash and endorsement. Probably they couldn’t believe that the playboy billionaire mogul would ever give up his comforts to actively oppose him, but, to make sure, they tried to gather dirt. Only all the dirt was thin because by then, the cultural marxists had so normalized truly deviant behavior by the truly evil, that Don’s peccadilloes were no big deal and didn’t stick.

I bet they began surveillance about the time he protested his treatment in applying for casino licenses and (IIRC) that was also about the time he began cooperating with DOJ against the mob.

Craven cowards and blatant idiots had no idea who Donald Trump really is.

He is Bruce Wayne, aka: Batman.

And the USA is Gotham.

You can assign Marvel villain identities as you wish.

Apparently, the runaway fbi is full of integrity-free, dishonest criminals. Great...just great.

Doesn’t it?

There were a lot of us that did not see how it could be possible but of course it was.

In Biloxi Blues, a boot camp recruit wrote a diary containing speculation that one of the other recruits might be gay. Then somebody stole the diary and passed it around. After that the speculation about the recruit became a fact, because the others could not imagine anyone taking the time to write something that was bot true.

He ran against McCain who was probably in on it. Juan took one for the uniparty team.

And it doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to believe they spied on Romney in 2012.

They wiretapped Carter Page for sure.

The question no one answers.

They are ALLOWED to go 2 hops from Carter Page.

Hop #1: All those who communicate in any way with Carter Page past or present.

Hope #2: All those who communicate in any way with anyone who has communicated with Carter Page past or present.

Question: Did that 2nd hop reach the president? Probably. Page would talk to his campaign boss. That boss probably talked to the President.

So, why has this not be revealed?

If Glenn Simpson gave the name of source E to an unnamed official then “Who is it?” They either know it or they don’t. An anon source gave the name but no one knows who he/she gave it to! Doesn’t make an iota of sense.

This is just stringing out the game. Nothing will be done. Durham is working on Indictments for late spring or summer. Of what year? The IG is part of the game so all can be cleared. Unless they confess on tape then there is no proof.

As I understand the convoluted article, this was not an anonymous call to the FBI.

Steele had a “Primary Source” telling him dirt on Trump. That “Primary Source” gathered the information from someone whose identity he did not know.

So the FBI spied on the Trump campaign based on what an unidentified person supposedly told another guy, who told Steele. The unidentified person claimed to have heard some of his hearsay from others, who did not claim to be eyewitnesses.

It beggars belief that anyone could pretend this material had any value whatsoever. Yet the FBI used it for their FISA warrant application. But I’d better stop criticizing the FBI; might hurt the rule of law, per former FBI Director William Webster.
