I just watched the video of Pirro and the fat pig Koko. How the hell did she know there were over 2,800 pings between Russian banks and Trump’s server? Who is this woman, and why is she in possession of information regarding all the investigations Bharara is working on? So much for confidentiality during investigations. The more I hear, the more this Bharara stinks to high heavens.
That may be what I am missing. Maybe Baharara was leaking big time,seems out of character but you never know.
“How the hell did she know there were over 2,800 pings between Russian banks and Trumps server?”
Good point. Sounds like some leaking going on.

GOP leaders associated with the NeverTrump movement and what is known as the GOP Mormon Mafia hired a company named Fusion GPS in Washington DC to conduct opposition research against now President Trump in late 2015. Fusion GPS is run by three former Wall Street Journal reporters: Glenn Simpson; Tom Catan; and Peter Fritsch. Individuals involved in recommending and securing Fusion GPS services included Sen. John McCain, Mitt Romney, Frank VanderSloot and Evan McMullin.
Fusion GPS hired UK based Orbis Business Intelligence, run by ex-British spies Christopher Steele and Christopher Burrows. Steele was MI6 and had been posted in Moscow in the 1990s. Orbis used Steeles ex-KGB sources to attempt to dig up information against Trump. Orbis created the famous and now discredited dossier against Trump. Sen. John McCain notified the FBI of the dossier in October 2016. He hand delivered the dossier alleging secret Trump-Russia contacts and extremely embarrassing allegations to the FBI in November. The files were widely circulated within the Obama administration.
In their enthusiasm, FusionGPS/Orbis and their Russian operatives placed numerous calls and sent emails to both to Trump campaign members and to current Russian intelligence operatives early in 2016. The volume of these calls and emails caught the attention of the CIA. An FBI Counter-Intelligence project was started to assess whether these communications represented a threat to the US. Because of the sheer volume of the communications and the known Russian agents involved, FBI Director James Comey sought a FISA Court warrant to investigate the nature of the calls in June 2016. The FISA Court rejected the request. Not to be thwarted, the FBI, working with the CIA and the NSA, created a list of Russian individuals that had communicated with the Trump campaign that would be monitored. The calls and emails were intercepted without warrant under current FBI Counter-Intelligence authorizations. The communications were recorded and attempts to identify the US person(s) on the lines were conducted. The now famous call between Gen Flynn and the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak was captured in this sweep.
Following the GOP Convention, the funding for FusionGPS/Orbis from NeverTrump and the GOP Mormon Mafia ended. Fusion GPS did not want to see their efforts end and solicited the continuation of the project to Democracy Partners and others in the DNC. They were successful in securing some additional funding form DNC affiliated donors. With the assistance of James Comey, the FBI agreed to pick up some of their expenses to continue forward. The FusionGPS/Orbis efforts continued until early January 2017. James Comey and all of the members of the Obama administration national security leadership knew that the Trump/Russian interference conspiracy was based on these FusionGPS/Orbis activities in October of 2016.
No evidence of wrong-doing by any member of the Trump campaign was found.
