Former Obama admin official linked to anti-Trump dossier to testify before Congress
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, June 15, 2018 | Dan Boylan

Former State Department official Victoria Nuland, who reportedly connected FBI officials to the former British spy who wrote the infamous anti-Trump dossier, will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee next week.

Ms. Nuland, a longtime State Department official who served in the George W. Bush administration as the U.S. Ambassador to NATO, served during the Obama administration as assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs.

In that capacity, according to the book “Russian Roulette,” she played an instrumental role in the evolution of Christopher Steele’s negative campaign research on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016 by giving permission for an FBI agent in London to meet with the former U.K. intelligence officer.

“Russian Roulette” was published earlier this year and written by veteran Washington media figures, Yahoo News reporter Michael Isikoff and Mother Jones magazine’s David Corn.

Mr. Steele’s 35-page dossier — an unverified collection of raw opposition research created to destroy Mr. Trump’s candidacy and paid for by Democrats — kicked off unprecedented speculation and investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, which Mr. Steele alleged.

This piece of work was actively involved in enabling the Kiev protests that toppled a government. She’s 100% deep state globalist, an enemy of everything the US pretends to believe in.

Why? She is just going to lie. And why not, there are no consequences for any crime the protected party commits. It's almost like 95% of congress only represents that party. The rest of us who don't belong to that party would be arrested for even the slightest infraction.

Depends ... I don't know her background enough to have a feel for whether she is a justice seeker or kabuki theater actor.

Check out her husband ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Kagan

“In February 2016 Kagan publicly left the Republican party (referring to himself as a “former Republican”) and endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president and argued that the Republican Party’s “wild obstructionism” and an insistence that “government, institutions, political traditions, party leadership and even parties themselves” were things meant to be “overthrown, evaded, ignored, insulted, laughed at” set the stage for the rise of Donald Trump. Kagan called Trump a “Frankenstein monster” and also compared him to Napoleon. In May 2016, Kagan wrote an opinion piece in the Washington Post regarding Trump’s campaign entitled “This Is How Fascism Comes to America”. Kagan has said that “all Republican foreign policy professionals are anti-Trump.”

No consequences = no deterrent to criminal behavior.

That’s another reason people must be held to account.

I predict she won't even show. There may or may not be a lot of outrage from Congress. And then we'll here nothing about it ever again....

Must have a Hollywood-approved storyline:

Trump Election Story ‘Russian Roulette’ in Development as Movie at CBS Films, Variety ^ | April 5, 2018 | Dave McNary
CBS Films has optioned Michael Isikoff and David Corn’s “Russian Roulette,” the story of the Russian attempt to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

Nick Wechsler, whose credits include “American Assassin,” is on board to produce. The deal, announced Thursday, came following an auction of the movie rights. It was made on behalf of the Ross Yoon Agency by Hotchkiss & Associates. Wechsler is represented by Carlos Goodman at Bloom Hergott Diemer Rosenthal LaViolette Feldman Schenkman...
