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.

Essentially, what the Democrats did was political SWATTING.
The mind numbed masses might understand that.

Yes, Isikoff’s pal Hosenball was part of Agee’s Communist apparatus within the U.S. intelligence community. Corn likewise did a hit piece on anti-Sandinista CIA agent Ted Shackley early in his career, following up on the Christic Institute’s lawsuit against Shackley.

Don’t forget whoever it was who paid to get the divorce papers on his Senate opponent that then basically kick started O-dumbasses career and foisted misery upon us all.

I wouldn’t be surprised if FusionGPS or some of these lawyers were involved in leaking those documents.

Like Linda Graham (RINO-SC), McCain is not very bright. The RATS called him and told him the Brits have dirt on Trump and McCain was all in. The RATS know he is a useful idiot.

I’m pretty sure that was David Corn and Mother Jones who obtained and released the video with Romney’s 47% speech.

to the point where we now wonder whether a train crash was intended to reshape Congress.

The assault on the Republican Ball Players was meant to do the same thing. In both cases, they failed miserably.

...and in both cases we were DAMN LUCKY. Hopefully the Republicans will actually considering LEARNING SOMETHING from these ‘events’ and be a bit more careful.

The article has been updated with new information that raises the possibility of something going on between Rosie Gray and David Corn in 2014, the same year Corn was accused of Weinstein like behavior. According to the article, they were spotted together at a party hosted by Vox and the Daily Beast in December of 2014. It also raises the question of how a young inexperienced reporter at Buzzfeed is reporting on leaked documents that stopped Ecuador from granting Snowden asylum right after David Corn reported on Ecuador.

This article is big and needs to be shared far and wide.

A lot more coming down the pipe. I spoke to a delegation of 68 investigative journalists from Ukraine last Wednesday at the Library of Congress - the Open World Society's forum - they put me on the program to speak specifically about Paul Manafort and I invited Michael Isikoff whom I've been working with for the past few weeks and connected him to the Ukrainians. More offline tomorrow since there is a big Trump component you and Lauren need to be aware of that will hit in next few weeks and something I'm working on you should be aware of.

Since I started digging into Manafort these messages have been a daily occurrence on my yahoo account despite changing my password often:

Elias is not only involved in setting up the conditions for 2020 fraud, he has other interesting ties, including to McCabe’s and Hillary’s pal McAuliffe :

“...The ties between the McAuliffe campaign of 2013 and the Clinton campaign of 2016 are extensive. Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook ran McAuliffe’s successful campaign for governor. The attorney representing McAuliffe in this matter, Mark Elias, is also an attorney for the Clinton campaign. There are also several staffers on many levels working for Clinton that played key roles in the governor’s 2013 race....” /snip —— cnn via
