The Trump-Russia collusion allegations were always a myth. The more we learn about this coordinated effort between Fusion GPS, the Democrats who hired them, and a former MI6 spook, Christopher Steele, hired to compile the now-infamous Trump dossier—the more shambolic it looks. Steele’s work was the basis for the conspiracy theories that engulfed the American news media for two years. There were memos about some dirt the Russians had on Trump which could be weaponized for blackmail. It was all a fantastic lie. There was no collusion. Not a single shred of evidence came to light and every time there was a “bombshell” on this mythical journey, it blew up in the liberal media’s faces. That part was delicious. Seeing them fail time and time again, unable to quell their hatred for a man who pulled off one of the biggest upsets in modern political history. The dossier was killed by two reports, the one filed by ex-Special Counsel Robert Mueller and the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who reviewed the FISA abuses under the Obama administration.
Now, Steele is facing a lawsuit filed by Russian bankers of Alfa bank, who were defamed in the now-debunked dossier. We learned that Steele’s emails with his primary source for the dossier, which was really a political opposition research project funded by the Democrats, vanished. They were wiped clean, like with a cloth, in December of 2016 or January of 2017. He also had undisclosed meetings with DNC lawyers and Clinton campaign officials. The Daily Caller News Foundation has been on it, gleaning through the transcripts of the depositions:
A lawyer representing the DNC and Clinton campaign provided Christopher Steele with information in 2016 regarding an alleged secret communications channel between the Trump Organization and a Russian bank, the former spy told a British court last month.
That now-debunked tip, from Perkins Coie lawyer Michael Sussmann, set off a chain of events that led to Steele publishing a Sept. 14, 2016 memo accusing the founders of the bank, Alfa Bank, of having “illicit” ties to Vladimir Putin, according to a court transcript obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
[…]
Steele disclosed the previously unreported meetings with Sussmann and Elias during testimony in a defamation lawsuit filed against him by the Alfa Bank founders, the transcript shows.
Steele’s testimony about Sussmann and Elias provides insight into how deeply involved the two lawyers were in the Trump investigation, and suggests they helped shape Steele’s investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election.
[…]
Steele testified under oath in London on March 17 and 18.
He revealed that Sussmann, a former Justice Department official, told him during a meeting on July 29, 2016 about suspicious network traffic between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, according to the transcript.
[…]
It was not previously known whether Steele keyed in on Alfa Bank on his own initiative, or if someone else tasked him with investigating the bank.
Steele said that he directed his dossier source to collect information from Russia about the bank, the transcript shows.
The transcript also shows that Steele claimed that the source, who has not been identified, met with a “top level Russian government official,” who reported back on the Alfa Bank founders.
At the time, Steele was working on behalf of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, which means the DNC and the Clinton campaign were literally colluding with a Russian agent. https://t.co/ti5I9B33Bw— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) April 28, 2020
We’ve known that some of Steele’s sources in this dossier were still active intelligence assets within the Kremlin. He also worked for a Russian oligarch (via Daily Caller):
The FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team turned over every rock to find out whether members of the Trump campaign were working with Russians in 2016, but failed to discover that Christopher Steele, the FBI’s primary source for claims of a Trump-Russia conspiracy, was himself working for a Russian oligarch, according to the Justice Department inspector general’s report.FBI and Justice Department officials told the inspector general (IG) that investigators would have wanted to assess Steele’s link to the oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, in order to determine if it had an impact on Steele’s dossier.
Former Bush Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said eons ago that there is more evidence to prove Clinton-Russia collusion. Here’s your latest tidbit on that.
Speaking of bombshells I heard Hillary did some felonious stuff at the Rose Law Firm./s
Check her billing records.
/i know i know
Thanks to Chicken Hawk Hannity, is immediately dismiss anything labeled Bombshell.
Clinton colluded with Russia? [shrug] Everybody does that. Can’t we move on?
Doesn’t matter...you could have video evidence of Democrats committing genocide in the mainstream media wouldnt report it. Really demoralizing freeper friends. I’ve been on the site for 20 years. I think this is the worst I’ve seen it. I am up for a fair fight. But with obvious hypocrisy and double standards from the media I feel we’re never going to get a fair shake.
Someone help me out.
Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire.
However, when it comes to trying to nail the Toons, you can forget about it. Their pact with the devil will protect em forever...heck they won’t even die.
What are you bringing Sean Hannity up for? The author makes no mention of him
: ) From obstruction & perjury all the way up to TREASON, and justice cannot put a ham sandwich on someone’s head. Uh...ok...you’re out of ham. All you got left is BALONEY? You can’t indict a BALONEY sandwich.
King Kong Bundy could’ve delivered better justice...
It’s a BIG CLUB out here, and they ARE NOT in it. How do “we the people...” proceed? Dossiers on our reps, the scum and their propagandists. 330 MILLION vs. 535+++++++ SUPERCRIMINALS.
STFU, PAY OUR TAXES & DIE?
Bagpipes at your funeral. PPC? (tagline)
We’ve had this evidence ever since we learned Hillary paid Perkins Coie to pay Fusion GPS to pay Steele.
Whole thing was nothing but a responsibility-laundering chain.
In my early days of avidly lurking on FR I read a partial transcript of an interview with a college student. Part of his job was literally destroying the records of Hillary's work at the Rose Law Firm. He said as he fed some pages to the shredder and then the garbage bags "Hey, these are the exact things the news stories say are under subpoena. I felt sort of bad and wanted to tell someone but I really needed the money from that job so I didn't."
Hillary's defense: Any law firm has the right to dispose of its oldest documents to end clutter and she didn't know anything in there was under subpoena and thus lost forever.
His name has been popping up a lot.
He's the guy who brokered the deal between Hillary Clinton and the DNC (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) during the 2016 election to pay off the DNC's 2012 convention debts in exchange for Clinton's control of the fundraising machine that cheated Bernie Sanders out of his share of state fundraising.
He's also the guy who acted as the cutout between the Clinton Campaign and Fusion GPS to fund the "Steele dossier."
And, two weeks ago he was the instigator in this story x-Clinton lawyer threatens to sue Nevada unless ballot harvesting permitted.
A prominent Democratic lawyer who represented Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is threatening to sue the state of Nevada unless it immediately suspends prosecutions for ballot harvesting before the June 9 primary, among a slew of other demands, according to a letter obtained by Fox News on Tuesday.Marc Elias, now representing the Nevada Democratic Party, also called for a substantial expansion to in-person voting access in the upcoming primary — though just days ago, he said it was a "national disgrace" that Wisconsin was moving ahead with in-person voting amid the coronavirus pandemic. (In both cases, he cited health concerns.) Democrats had feared that high turnout in Wisconsin would hurt their chances, while they have a more optimistic outlook in Nevada.

The personality of a president makes all the difference.
Willingness to fight.
Desire to punish.
Trustworthiness.
An out of no where tornado overturning one car in a junk yard to reveal Rose Law records in the trunk.
The very first thing the Clintons did after Vince Foster’s death became publicly known was to rifle through his office for anything incriminating (his hand annotated copy of Rose Law billing records were found in Hillary’s possession later) and physically abusing his computer to break the hard drive.
But, you know, “vast right wing conspiracy” from the hags own lips to their willing to be deceived ears because they must never admit they were wrong to sell their integrity (such as it was) to circle the wagons around him to begin with.
Hillary could have been found standing over Seth Rich’s body in the hospital crowing that she had done it, was happy she’d done it, and that she would do it again and the Left would claim she’d been set up.
Sorry, there is no 'out'.
Look up how many millions of dollars, rubles, gold, went from Russia and Russians into the Clinton Foundation, LIEbrary et al. The Clintons and their minions live life large with all those billions. Creepozoids All.
You ain’t the only one.
“Speaking of bombshells I heard Hillary did some felonious stuff at the Rose Law Firm./s”
No worries. Lindsey Graham is going to get to the bottom of it.
He overused Bombshell for everything and it always ends up with a big yawn. Giuliani does the same. Disheartening.
