The FISA Memo Exposes Fusion GPS Obama 2012 Campaign Links
Idaho Conservatives ^ | February 3, 2018 | Idaho Conservatives

Posted on 02/03/2018 11:03:52 PM PST by Enchante

Fusion GPS was hired by the Obama for America campaign to perform opposition research against Mitt Romney. Fusion GPS’s job was to gather research and connect reporters who would publish hit pieces while the lawyers made the payments and managed the relationships. In early 2012, the Obama campaign launched a political hit job against Mitt Romney campaign donors....

....

It is clear now that David Corn and Michael Isikoff are all connected to the strategy of hitting “enemies” of Obama. It also seems apparent that Mother Jones and Fusion GPS may have multiple connection points. They may also have been directed by Glenn Simpson’s team at the request of the law firm Perkins Coie (Clinton) to get the Steele dossier in the press using their most loyal reporters to fulfill the one-two punch media strategy and manufacture an October surprise.

Perkins Coie not only represented Hillary Clinton’s campaign, they were Obama’s lawyers too. In fact, Bob Bauer, a partner at Perkins Coie was tap to be the White House counsel in 2009 and went back to Perkins Coie in 2011. Mark Elias, a partner at Perkins Coie managed the payments for the Fusion GPS Trump Dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

All my life’s a circle
Sunrise and sundown
Moon rolls through the nighttime
Till daybreak comes around
All my life’s a circle
Still I wonder why
Seasons spinning ‘round again
Years keep rolling by...

Most of us figured that there must be some significant ‘history’ to this crap if Obama people were brazen enough to do what they did. Now we’re starting to see it goes back a LONG WAY, perhaps a REALLY LONG WAY.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dots connecting GPS Fusion can be tracked back to arkansas in the 1980’s.

Fusion founder glenn simpson met & married his wife, mary jacoby in little rock back in the earlier days of the xlintonista regime.

Mary’s dad was prominent & opened doors to arkie political power brokers, including bubba & hildabeast’s handlers.

NOTE WELL: Bob Bauer, Obama’s lawyer and a partner at Perkins Coie,
is the husband of candidate Obama's PR team, Anita Dunn:

ITEM---She is the one that famously said her inspirations are Mother Teresa and Mao Tse Tung;

ITEM----After mystery man Obama was safely in office, she told how they tightly controlled the flow
of info. The PR team never answered media questions about Obama----they only told the media what
THEY wanted them to know about him.

Something I’ve noted before is that we did have a chance to cut this crap off, but we punted. That was when Bush Jr. won the White House. Bush could have gone after the HUGE level of corruption already there, but he punted as he tried to set a ‘new tone’. That was it. That was the message to the left that nothing will get prosecuted...they were free to do ANYTHING without consequences, at least from the Republicans. And they ran with it.

It’s no different than when a local goes from shoplifting without consequences, to assault without consequences, to armed robbery without consequences, to murder (sometimes with consequences). The reason we punish shoplifters, usually, is to get them off of that track. Like it or not, Bush was too much of an IDIOT to realize that giving crooks a free pass would only cause them to step up their game - to the point where we now wonder whether a train crash was intended to reshape Congress.

So let’s HOPE TO HELL that at least some of these animals get PUNISHED this time - or it will get even worse, much worse.

Someone needs to ask Hilliary if she would have repealed the Magnitsky Act.

I bet Obama has done a lot of spying, thanks to corrupt FBI/DOJ/IC. When they got the goods on a political enemy, they put the squeeze on them and when necessary, went to corrupt FISC judges to get FISA approval AFTER the fact. Supreme Court, congress, candidates, and who knows who else have been victims.

This is going to be BIG.

You capture the key point in all this: How far back does FISA spying on innocent politically-attached people go?

But this article helps confirm what WE already know: the Elite-DC-politician-media-lobbyist complex is strong.
