The Coming Russia Bombshells
The Wall Street Journal ^ | October 26th, 2017 | By Kimberley A. Strassel

Posted on 10/27/2017 6:05:36 AM PDT by Mariner

The confirmation this week that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid an opposition-research firm for a “dossier” on Donald Trump is bombshell news. More bombshells are to come.

The Fusion GPS saga isn’t over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady election doings concealed within that oppo-research firm’s walls. We now know where Fusion got some of its cash, but the next question is how the firm used it. With whom did it work beyond former British spy Christopher Steele ? Whom did it pay? Who else was paying it?

The answers are in Fusion’s bank records. Fusion has doggedly refused to divulge the names of its clients for months now, despite extraordinary pressure. So why did the firm suddenly insist that middleman law firm Perkins Coie release Fusion from confidentiality agreements, and spill the beans on who hired it?

The Clintons took uranium.....a national strategic asset......and sold it for their personal gain.

As with Bill Clinton's ChinaGate scandal, this is about more than just money. These SOBs seriously hate the country and want to do it harm. My increasing suspicion is that Russia may not truly be done with communism. The "reforms" there may simply be part of a sophisticated ploy. They are, after all, masters of the art of deception. If they were really done with communism and now deplore it as they claim, why do they continue to prop up and/or ally with so many far left or outright communist regimes? North Korea, ChiComs, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua...

And I think some people just treat political discourse like a TV show they watch regularly. If they don’t see what they want by the next commercial break, they change the channel and complain that the show stinks.

“What part did John ‘Song Bird’ McCain play in this scam?”

There are two absolute characteristics of all U.S. Senators: they are very stupid and they are very lazy. They “are programmed to receive” money and dirt. Thus, I think McCain is merely a court jester here, a tool. “Looky what I have!” Probably used by Bush or Podesta or even Comey to spread this to the loving media.

Said CI is also said to have documents, tapes, and video tapes.

His lawyer stated that the FBI has those tapes since they were the ones recording them. Didn't say there were not others so I don't know what tapes he may have.

the infamous Teapot Dome scandal

Yes, I've been posting that comparison all day yesterday.

And it's not just the comparison to selling strategic national assets; it's also the systematic cover-up of evidence that followed.

This scandal resulted in the first Cabinet Secretary going to prison. Let's see of the comparison continues.

Trump is a business man who knows how to be patient when making a deal or waiting out his adversaries. I think he knew everything the RATs were saying about him and the Russians was a lie, and if he waited long enough, the truth would come out. JMHO

Thor Halverson says that the head of Fusion is formerly a bureau chief for the Wall Street Journal. I doubt that means anything, but it’s a piece for the puzzle.

More like a fake Brit/MI6 outfit “contractor” doubled and in the employ of...the Russians. Source A and Source B are “top Russian leadership”. If it is a real outfit, those “top” leaders would be dead by now— rather publicly.

imho GPS Fusion is a front- willingly used by demonrat deep state people to push for the apparatchiks who wanted hitlery. Pure and simple. Incompetents like DNI Clapper to “have no clue” and way past his capabilities, for starters. Comey— much simpler— compromised through drug laundering for HBSC where he was head of security. The “Marc Rich” connex to the clintoonian laundry machine aka Clinton Global Initiative. The disease is wide spread. 3rd player is converted Irish catholic/ muslim head of C y A Brennan. It fits— a fold of bright and not so bright useful idiots amongst wolves. Alinsky/NKVD/KGB crap.... all coming out of the “reset” button of mz. clintoon. They hope to run the clock out on her Parkinson’s. What animals.

“There has never been a question in my mind that Obama got paid for the IRAN deal”

The dems had unfettered access to the U.S. treasury for 8 yrs.

If these scum were loading billions in cash, in the dead of the night, bound for terrorists in Iran, just imagine how much they stole for themselves.

Here's a very salient point made by Rush Limbaugh yesterday, about why Hillary hires lawyers to do her most dirty work:

This is related to Marc Elias who lied to the New York Times and the Washington Post for a year. Marc Elias hired Fusion GPS to conduct research on Trump. Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele. Now, the reason that the Clinton camp hires a law firm here is to give them attorney-client privilege. You hire the law firm to hire sleaze balls, and that’s how you protect yourself from ever being tagged as funding the activity of the sleaze balls. And this is what the Federal Election Commission is going to try to unravel.

Now, there’s another law firm involved with this, though, and it goes by the name of Perkins Coie. This is the law firm that was used as a cutout to get the Steele dossier about Trump written. We’ve heard about Christopher Steele, and we’ve heard about Marc Elias, and we’ve heard about the dossier, but the law firm that was hired to provide the attorney-client privilege shield is Perkins Coie. And there’s an interesting person that works at this firm.

Marc Elias at Perkins Coie was the lawyer who got the Federal Election Commission to exclude Google and Facebook from having to report who paid for political ads.

...money connected to Russians. In the past Fusion has worked with Russians, including lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who happened to show up last year in Donald Trump Jr.’s office.

If Fusion is an "intelligence front' of the FBI or CIA or NSA... then there's been an attempt at a coup by those services - and that would be treason.

Even the Washington Post and New York Times would have to get off their butts and investigate something their handlers didn't give them...
