Sketchy firm behind Trump Dossier is Stalling Investigators
New York Post ^ | June 24, 2017 | Paul Sperry

Posted on 06/25/2017 1:37:37 AM PDT by saywhatagain

Senate investigators are demanding to see records of communications between Fusion GPS and the FBI and the Justice Department, including any contacts with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, now under congressional investigation for possibly obstructing the Hillary Clinton email probe, and deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, who is under investigation by the Senate and the Justice inspector general for failing to recuse himself despite financial and political connections to the Clinton campaign through his Democrat activist wife. Senate investigators have singled out McCabe as the FBI official who negotiated with Steele.

The Senate Judiciary Committee is also investigating whether the FBI has wrongly relied on the anti-Trump dossier and its author, Christopher Steele — the old spy who was hired by Fusion GPS to build a Russia file on Trump — to aid its ongoing espionage investigation into the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Moscow.

The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August, during the heat of the campaign, and is said to have contracted in October to pay Steele $50,000 to help corroborate the dirt on Trump — a relationship that “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the bureau in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Some Dem is lying . . . can't imagine.

Don't fool yourself, there are a number of Republicans knee deep in this, too, starting with John McCain.

Fusion is/ was a faborite buzzword of gop establishment
I would suspect this “ sketchy firm” is a uniparty deep state toolbox
Gee when you create this wondrous bureaucracy what could possibly go wrong? A collaborative coup against the presidency won by the wrong man?

Jebbush cough cough

Check this out

The deputy FBI director was dealing with a contact obtained through this “ firm” that was also working with and for the Russian govt. Did FBI money go to “ Fusion” to pay for “ intelligence sources” and services to intervene in the US election? Did FBI money go to Fusion for opposition research against Trump cloaked as Russian intelligence gathering? Is it true Vhristopher Steele is still on the FBI payroll? ( or payoff roll)

Wonder if any connection between this operation anc thosd 35 mysteriously rapidly expelled Russian “ diplomats” quickly hustled out if the US by obama? All news of them and their role and contacts missing from any of the reports of the “ investigation” of Russian interferencd?

Probably won’t take long before people like Steele turn up dead... History has a way of repeating itself

McShamey gave it to the FBI

He was most likely an agreeable conduit but he’s the jack hole that started this rolling

This is a very unusual angle on the trump/russia probe.

Even for the ny post to come out exposing criminal activity in previous administration

And McCain...

last year, Sen. John McCain gave a copy of the dossier to FBI Director James Comey, McCain has said — and asked him whether any of it was true.

The FBI reached a deal in October to pay a former British spy who had compiled a dossier on Donald Trump's alleged ties with Russia, an indication of how seriously the bureau was taking the allegations, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The deal for the former operative, Christopher Steele, to continue his work on behalf of the FBI fell apart when Steele pulled out, said the source, who has direct knowledge of the situation.

In the same August report, for example, Steele connected a Moscow trip taken by then-Trump campaign adviser Michael Flynn to "the Russian operation" to hack the election. But there was nothing secret about the trip, which had taken place months earlier and had been widely reported.

And there was nothing untoward about it. It was a dinner celebrating the 10th birthday of Russian TV network RT, and Flynn sat at the same table with Putin as US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.

I didn't know that!

Comey and McCain are behind the "dirty dossier" that was used to ramp the Russian collusion lie up to impeachment levels. Note: The first one-on-one meeting between Trump and Comey was at Comey's request, to show Trump the "dirty dossier," so then it could be leaked to the media as a news-worthy story (probably leaked by Comey himself.)

The first private one-on-one meeting between Trump and Comey was at Comey's request. No wonder Trump later thought one-on-one meetings with Comey were normal and routine: the first was requested by Comey to show him the "dirty dossier," as a pretext for leaking it to the NYTs and WaPo as a news worthy story.

Comey is real scum.

The investigation of McCabe and Steele HAS to include John McCain’s role in the whole thing and how he ended up with the phoney dossier that he gave to the FBI.

McCain is a POS and he proves it everytime he rushes to get in front of a camera and mic!
