Seems like the Washington Free BeaconBacon engaged Fusion to get the slimey ball rolling.

What's the connection between WFB and Billy Kristol.

Another interesting small town lead is the connection from Kristol's daughter to the ever-popular, Mika.

The scorecard needs to updated to include spouses and sons-in-law.

In September 2016, while Fusion GPS was quietly shopping the dirty dossier on Trump around Washington, its co-founder and partner Peter R. Fritsch contributed at least $1,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund and the Hillary For America campaign, Federal Election Commission data show. His wife also donated money to Hillary’s campaign.

Property records show that in June 2016, as Clinton allies bankrolled Fusion GPS, Fritsch bought a six-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Bethesda, Md., for $2.3 million.

Fritsch did not respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Fusion GPS said the firm’s work is confidential.

Sources say Fusion GPS had its own interest, beyond those of its clients, in promulgating negative gossip about Trump.

Fritsch, who served as the Journal’s bureau chief in Mexico City and has lectured at the liberal Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute, married into a family with Mexican business interests. His wife, Beatriz Garcia, formerly worked as an executive at Grupo Dina, a manufacturer of trucks and buses in Mexico City that benefits from NAFTA, which Trump opposes.

Fritsch’s Fusion GPS partner Thomas Catan, who grew up in Britain, once edited a business magazine in Mexico. A third founding partner, Glenn Simpson, is reported to have shared dark views of both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump. Before joining Fusion GPS, Simpson did opposition research for a former Clinton White House operative.

“What’s the connection between WFB and Billy Kristol.”

*****

Kristol’s daughter is married to Matthew Continetti, the editor of the Washington Free Beacon.

Talk without indictments is bullsh*t.

When does the bullsh*t stop and the indictments begin?

Can someone please pour a 20 gallon bucket of extremely icy water over the head of our long-slumbering “Attorney General”?

Time to wake his worthless *ss UP!

Someone on the radio yesterday, a guest on one of the shows, said that Fusion pays payola to media people to control stories by putting out talking points or squashing certain stories. With all the evidence in the form of montages Hannity or Rush have put together using different media sources on air, using the exact same verbiage on an issue, 20+ clips at a time, how can we not believe there is a Lead Source controlling them with $?

It’s not named Fusion for nothing. This is an unlawful collusion of globalist Jo’s, media, government functionaries (Deep State), and foreign operatives. Its a fusion of evil, anti-Constitutional forces.

Thus far, CNN led with the “indictments Monday” story and MSN and others have run the same story, quoting CNN.

So let’s be smart instead of just accepting everything that runs on CNN as gospel. For all we know this could have been a test to “out” leakers prior to the real indictments. Ironically no “sources” contacted any other media outlet...just CNN, who reported:

“A federal grand jury in Washington, DC, on Friday approved the first charges in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources briefed on the matter.
The charges are still sealed under orders from a federal judge. Plans were prepared Friday for anyone charged to be taken into custody as soon as Monday, the sources said. It is unclear what the charges are.
A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.”

I noted on CNN this morning a coverage of the pre Halloween visits by children, traditionally to the White House. Even then showing the little kids and the President, CNN could not stop themselves. I am sure it is not just me..... but snide remarks were made by CNN. These directed at President Trump. No shame at all, none!

Top Clinton Campaign Lawyer Helped Open Big Money Floodgates

Clinton has claimed she wants to reduce the amount of money in politics

June 22, 2015 5:00 am

Hillary Clinton’s top campaign lawyer was a key figure in a fight that allowed wealthy individuals to drastically increase the amount of money they could give to party committees, despite pledges by Clinton to combat money in politics.

As the Clinton team was shaping up earlier this year, they quietly brought aboard Marc Elias, a top campaign finance lawyer. Elias, who is a partner at the Washington D.C. law firm Perkins Coie and was general counsel for John Kerry’s 2004 presidential campaign, was just one month removed from drafting a provision that contradicted Clinton’s stated promises.

Elias was called in by the office of Harry Reid late last year to help craft a provision added into the $1.1 trillion spending bill at the last minute. The provision effectively raised the amount of money donors can give to political parties from $97,400 to $777,600.

The sudden addition of the provision surprised legislators on both sides of the aisle. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) commented at the time she did not know about it until one day before the vote on the year-end bill.

Politico reported that Elias’ firm, Perkins Coie, could benefit from the provision’s stealth implementation, which also allows for higher contributions to the legal fees of the committees.

Alongside Elias, Perkins Coie is led by Bob Bauer, who served as chief counsel to the Obama White House from January 2010 to June 2011. The firm, which is described as having a “stranglehold” on Democratic clients, has raked in more than $40 million in legal fees since 2000 from clients ranging from Obama to the Democratic National Committee.

Great data.

The DC Swamp runs through the Gulf of Mexico, across Mexico, to the Baha and then up and down the Pacific coast.
