Media inhale wind rapidly

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.

WOW, thanks, that is a lot of terribly important info. So many scumbags to be exposed!!!
Actually our biggest problem is the media. They have a free ride with no consequences. They can print lies with no repercussions. The first amendment seems to have no boundaries. They have way too much power.
If God weren’t on our side I’d be hopeless. I see how God chose Trump because of his determination to fight evil and not care what people think of him. He has helped Republicans to learn to be brave (or as many would say grow a pair). He’s a great leader like many in the Bible.
Joshua and Caleb (Numbers 13-14)—Twelve men were sent to explore the land that The Lord was giving the people of Israel. However, 10 of the hand-selected team cowered. They invented a connection of people they saw there to the giants (the Nephilim) and offered dissuading opinions rather than mere observations. They failed to do their job because they acted out of emotion, not conviction. By creating a mythical impression of these people, they caused a spirit of fright to lead the nation into panic. Joshua and Caleb dissented from their “group-think” and came close to being stoned. Both men were noted for their great example and given specific promises concerning their entrance to the Promised Land. Caleb was even singled out for having a model spirit (14:24) and Joshua was promoted to lead after the death of Moses. The other 10 died in a plague, and those infected by their fear-mongering suffered in multiple ways for years to come
Our country is our promised land and we had too many men and women who acted out of emotion rather than conviction. They were scared like many of our leaders who wanted to work with their friends on the other side of the aisle. They are compromised and fearful and refused to fight evil. The tea party was God inspired for this time. We cleaned out a few but too many stayed for the power and money. All those Republicans leaving leaves a space for God to work.
I wonder if Fusion GPS was behind the Romney “47%” video and smear??
You might remember how Obama became a US Senator. I don’t recall all the details but Obama wasn’t considered to big threat to be elected until there were several releases of compromising divorce details against his opponent in the democratic primary and in the general election. IIRC, those divorce details were released even though they were supposedly “sealed”.
The Bush League Republicans have been fully and completely in collusion with the Democrats for decades.
The fraud that is Obama could not have happened without the complete cooperation of BOTH parties and the Ministry of Propaganda.
It certainly does seem that way, considering that the Democrat response to Bush’s ‘new tone’ was to treat Bush Jr. like Shiite...and rather than get nasty, as any normal person would do, he just didn’t care, chalked it up to politics, and kept on going about that ‘new tone’. If he wasn’t in bed with the Dems, he sure fooled me.
Yes, this is a Rosetta Stone for the bogus FISA application as described in the Nunes memo, showing a pattern ... a fixed group of conspirators.
Every day it becomes clearer that the center of gravity for the scandal is Obama.
And he had EVERY MOTIVATION. If Hillary had been elected, his crimes would have never come out, and his criminal empire would have been permanently established.
It could be mere coincidence that the first failed attempt to get a FISA warrant to wiretap came less than two weeks after Trump tied up the nomination (last primaries ended) in early June 2016.
That first attempt failed, but they “bolstered” it and obtained approval in October 2016 USING ADDITIONAL “EVIDENCE” OF COLLUSION WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE MEDIA REPORTS BASED ON THE FAKE DOSSIER COMPILED BY STEELE/FUSION GPS!
Which makes it even MORE galling to hear the Leftists in government and Media trying to muddy the waters for the general public by saying the approval of the FISA warrant in October (and subsequent reapprovals) were based on MORE than just the Fusion GPS/Steele dossier...it WAS based on more, which were simply MEDIA REPORTS generated from the noise in the media created by the fake dossier!
As Dan Bongino points out, COMPLETELY CIRCULAR REASONING AND JUSTIFICATION!
The Leftists are scrambling and obfuscating so ferociously that if this weren’t such a serious constitutional issue, it would be hilarious!
And they are scrambling and obfuscating, throwing everything they can, trying to muddy the water, claiming “fake news”, etc. WITH THE FULL ASSISTANCE OF A COMPLIANT, SYMPATHETIC, AND HELPFUL MEDIA.
It is appalling.
The Dan Bongino Show (Dan Bongino worked in the Secret Service as an instructor and the personal detail protecting the President beginning in 1996, Presidential Protection Division in 2006, stayed on into the Obama administration and published a book that he took heat for) at has some great podcasts and links to other sites, there were two of them in particular that really helped me understand it:
Dan Bongino Show (http://www.bongino.com) with thanks to Freepers AustinBill for starting a thread on this and Kid Shelleen for pointing me to the Bongino website)
From the Conservative Treehouse, a crucial timeline: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/05/operation-condor-how-nsa-director-mike-rogers-saved-the-u-s-from-a-massive-constitutional-crisis/
Also from The Conservative Treehouse, understanding the Intelligence “Gang of Eight” which is crucial to understanding how all this ties together...basically who is authorized to share info with whom, when it is shared, etc: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/01/02/united-states-national-intelligence-oversight-the-gang-of-eight/
All FISA court members are selected by one person, Chief Justice Roberts. All come from already being on the federal bench. Almost all were selected from being a BO or GWB appointments, lest one from Reagan.
Here we have individuals that decide who is going to be spied on. No accountability. They judge based on arguments from the DOJ, FBI and others. In this case, a bunch of GWB and BO appointees, being heard by GWB and BO appointees.
And now we have this criminal failure in front of us bordering on sedition. Instead if people whining about what was brought in front of the FISA court, how about we look at the FISA court and how it may be politicized...and change it?
And while we are at it, maybe we could stop all the big brother watching and listening to you crap.
Remember Roe v Wade? Whacky decision based on a right to privacy? Well, we ain’t got no privacy. It stinks.
I wonder if Fusion GPS was behind the Romney “47%” video and smear??
Seems like I remember that that was recorded by Jimmy Carter’s grandson. Does that ring a bell?
Media inhale wind rapidly
Left unexplored still is how Fusion GPS gets away with a business model which is essentially fraud for hire.
i posted a 1994 wapo piece on Strobe Talbott— remember him? And connex to Chris Shearer (brother in law).
RE: your question on Chris Steele, former MI6 head of the Brit Russia House=
willing to lay better than even odds that Talbott and Steele are “old buddies”. Talbott being #2 at statedept. under that utter doddering fool Warren Christopher. Since Talbott as the “legendary” (in all his PR) russia desk at “state” expert, and fluent russian speaking whitewashed WASP (recall Alger Hiss... that kind of “he’s Ok” crapola) tool of the clintons, who basically got everything wrong about russia, and tried to dismantle ALL that Reagan did- nuclear deterrence particularly but a lot else.
It would fit-Steele worked under diplomatic cover as an MI6 agent in Moscow, serving at the UK embassy, and by some means allowed by KGB/FSB to be an “internal traveller”, visiting accessible cities such as Samara and Kazan. This “access” from a US point of view, would normally put him in suspect potential duality role— so to speak, but the difference in their ages, steele is 53 and talbott 71 precludes aligning timelines, except through the clinton presidency right about when putin came into power, and MI6 dumped him because perhaps he was good “for” putin. Putin owns the clintons, not trump. This would fit with setting up Carter Page (on advice of putin or his minions still in contact with steele).
BTW while the “business” name of steele’s private intel consulting is “orbis”... his real front payments outfit is called- Walsingham Partners, LLC ostensibly a financial firm, in place to accept emoluments. ideas and theories.
Heres a “gossip sheet” from the UK on steele: http://thetab.com/uk/cambridge/2017/01/13/everything-know-christopher-steele-cambridge-mi6-spy-86612
That’s Waltsingham.... after Sir Francis Walsingham,Queen Elizabeth I’s spymaster who perhaps steele admires.
the cambridge people his contemporaries said he was “full of himself” and ... full of bullcrap. lots of weak “former big noise” MI types in the UK who go private as “experts” like our own Beltway Bandits “contractors”— questionable loyalties except to the mother’s milk of clintonia— money.
Mother Jones was Obama’s btch all along... and, as all liberal scam institutions like Komen pretending they are pro life for donations, they were for an Obama at the very behinning of times when they were pretending they only were protesting America.
We tried. They didn’t listen.

SEATTLE – A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Immigration and Naturalization Service from returning five immigrants to Somalia, after their lawyers argued that the INS can’t deport them to a country that effectively has no government.
The five men, who have been convicted of crimes or immigration violations, had been scheduled to be moved from Seattle to El Paso, Texas, on Thursday, before being deported to Somalia sometime later.....

Barack Hussein Obama’s Washington DC attorney Robert Bauer of the Perkins Coie law firm demanded the Justice Department investigate the group putting on television advertisements showing the strong links between Barack Obama and William Ayers. Trouble is that a lawyer who treatens criminal prosecution solely to gain an advantage in a civil matter violates Rule 8.4(g) of the District of Columbia Rules of Professional Conduct: Rule 8.4—Misconduct....

President Obama may be using his political action committee funds to stomp out eligibility lawsuits brought by Americans, as he has paid more than $1.35 million to his top lawyer since the election.
Obama for America, Obama’s 2008 political campaign, merged with the Democratic National Committee in January and is now known as Organizing for America. The grassroots army that some refer to as “Obama 2.0” is still collecting financial contributions.
Federal Election Commission records for “Obama for America” show that the lobby organization has paid international law firm Perkins Coie exactly $1,352,378.95 since the 2008 election.

Robert Bauer and Anita Dunn - A Match Made for Obama’s White House
Habeldash ^ | 10-22-09 | Chuck Justice
Posted on 10/22/2009, 9:55:22 PM by STARWISE
One of the hot trends on the internet right now is Robert Bauer and his wife, director of White House communications Anita Dunn, henceforth, Anita Dumb.
After a little digging it was uncovered that Robert Bauer has quite the rap sheet, which makes him a perfect partner for the Maoist Anita Dumb.
Bauer is an attorney who served as general counsel for the president’s Brown Shirt operation Obama for America during the presidential campaign and also serves as Obama’s personal attorney.
Let’s take a look at Robert Bauer’s achievements during his tenure:
* Served as general counsel for Obama for America.
* Unsuccessfully lobbied the Justice Department last fall to pursue a criminal probe of the American Issues Project (AIP), an independent group that sought to run an ad highlighting the Barack Obama and terrorist Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground connection.
* Sought prosecution with the Department of Justice against Harold Simmons for funding the ad.
* Used thug and scare tactics on television stations throughout the U.S. to compel them to pull the advertisement of Obama and Ayers.
Needless to say, he’s the perfect match for his wife Anita Dumb.....

Kloppenburg’s campaign is working with Marc Elias, an attorney with Perkins Coie, a Washington D.C.-based firm with an office in downtown Madison. Elias is the same attorney who represented Democratic challenger Al Franken in his eight-month epic recount battle with incumbent Republican Norm Coleman. Franken eventually prevailed, winning his U.S. Senate seat by 312 votes......
