BREAKING: Obama State Department’s Jonathan Winer – Long Time Kerry Associate – Involved in Sinis
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 5/13/2019 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 05/13/2019 6:12:04 PM PDT by bitt

The Gateway Pundit has put together a list of actions by long time John Kerry associate and former Obama State Department Deputy Assistant, Jonathan Winer, related to the distribution of the Steele dossier.

This information is damning to the Obama administration in aligning them to the fake Trump – Russia collusion scam.

According to Obama’s State Department, Jonathan Winer served as –

U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement, where he was one of the architects of U.S. international policies and strategies on promoting and harmonizing financial transparency, as well as on cross-border law enforcement issues such as cybercrime, small arms trafficking, illegal immigration, and money laundering. He initiated the establishment of International Law Enforcement Academies in Bangkok and Gaborone and served as the first General Secretary of the Global Forum on Corruption.

Mr. Winer previously served for 10 years as counsel and principal legislative assistant to then-U.S. Senator John F. Kerry.

During his time at the State Department Winer met with the fake Russia Trump dossier author Christopher Steele. According to the Weekly Standard in February 2018 Winer shared –

In September 2016, Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the ‘dossier.’” ….. “I was allowed to review, but not to keep, a copy of these reports to enable me to alert the State Department,” Winer writes. “I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with [Winer’s boss at State, Victoria] Nuland.”

Winer shared a similar alibi on far left CNN in July 2018 –

U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement,

Nothing alarming about THAT, no sir..!

And that's even before finding about the sh*t he did in that role.

Simply that such a thing exists, that's just WOW.

---

Here's a compilation of some info on Jonathan M. Winer, one of the rats in the nest, an old Kerry Commie ally who became a link between the Clinton and Kerry State Departments and Christopher Steele:

“Jonathan M. Winer, a Washington lawyer and consultant, is a former U.S. deputy assistant secretary of state for international law enforcement and former special envoy for Libya.”

https://www.offshorealert.com/conference/2017/miami/get-speaker.aspx?id=55823

“Jonathan M. Winer is a lawyer, consultant, and diplomat who served as the State Department’s first Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Law Enforcement from 1994-1999 during the Clinton Administration, and until January 2017 as the U.S. Special Envoy for Libya in the Obama Administration. Previously, he was Counsel to Senator John Kerry from 1995-1994 [s/b "1985-1994"], during which he participated in the earliest Congressional investigations into Iran-Contra, money laundering in Latin America, and the global criminal network of the world’s the dirtiest bank, BCCI.”

https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/ei/biog/bureau/240474.htm

“#ad#Kerry gained further fame — or infamy, depending on your point of view — as head of “the Kerry Committee,” more formally the Subcommittee on Terrorism, Narcotics, and International Operations. In this period — the late 1980s — Kerry devoted himself to trying to prove that the Contras were drug-runners; he was particularly interested in linking Vice President Bush to this criminality (as Bush was running for president). The Kerry Committee never accomplished its objective, but it attracted a lot of media attention and damaged individual reputations. On this committee, all the hopes, energies, and notions of IPS, the Christic Institute, CISPES, and the rest of that now-forgotten crowd came together.

Leading the charge were Kerry’s staff men, such as Jonathan Winer (still a Kerry foreign-policy adviser) and the notorious Jack Blum. This latter is considered by some Republicans a sort of Roy Cohn of the Left. One GOP aide from the period describes Kerry’s people as “drooling fanatics”: “Kennedy’s people were liberal, to be sure, and so were Dodd’s. But Kerry’s people were much more rabid. They promoted the most bizarre conspiracy theories around.” You have to remember, says this aide: “There was a real fruity network of goofball and semi-subversive people, and Kerry ran with those people. He was always a bit aloof himself, but you can tell a lot about politicians by the people they let in. These weren’t liberals. They had a shockingly hostile attitude toward the United States — our military, our intelligence community, our policies.””

https://www.alston.com/en/insights/news/1999/11/jonathan-m-winer-former-deputy-assistant-secretary

“Chief Counsel and principal legislative assistant to Senator John F. Kerry (D-MA). In that capacity, Mr. Winer assisted in the drafting of numerous laws and legislation, such as those aimed at money laundering and campaign finance reform. He also aided in the investigation of a number of important subjects, including the Iran-Contra Affair, the problem of drug trafficking and financial crime in Central and South America, the handling of the Savings and Loan bailout by the RTC, and HUD’s management of multifamily, low-income housing. Mr. Winer also led the investigation of the Bank of Credit and Commerce International in the late 1980s and early 1990s.”

http://www.mei.edu/profile/jonathan-m-winer

https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/ei/biog/bureau/240474.htm

As Winer tells it, he and Steele were old pals. They “met and became friends” in 2009, when both were in the business of selling “business intelligence,” much of it involving Russia. Winer went back to work at State in 2013, after his old Capitol Hill boss, John Kerry, had become secretary of State. But he didn’t lose track of his friend Steele—not at all. He shared, and shared, and shared Steele’s corporate intelligence work with the State Department’s Russia desk. “Over the next two years, I shared more than 100 of Steele’s reports with the Russia experts at the State Department, who continued to find them useful.” (Let’s not speculate about how much it may have been worth to Steele to be able to tell his clients that the materials they were paying for were being regularly consumed by policy-makers in Foggy Bottom.)

Come the summer of 2016, Steele’s prime client was the campaign of Hillary Clinton, by way of the hired-guns at Fusion GPS, for whom he was assembling a grab bag of Trump tales from some sort of Russian sources. Come the fall Steele was spreading dossier info to various news organizations, the FBI, and the State Department. “In September 2016, Steele and I met in Washington and discussed the information now known as the ‘dossier.’” Here’s where it starts getting particularly weird: “I was allowed to review, but not to keep, a copy of these reports to enable me to alert the State Department,” Winer writes. “I prepared a two-page summary and shared it with [Winer’s boss at State, Victoria] Nuland.” I doubt I’m the only one who finds this bit of peekaboo passing strange. . .

“Known as “Vicious Sid” and “Mr. Fixer,” respectively, the two friends passed salacious allegations about Trump to a State Department official named Jonathan Winer...Winer, who is friends with Blumenthal, in turn, gave the information to Steele.”

Jonathan Winer, Chris Steele’s Inside Man at State Dept, Was Exec at Firm Working for Clinton Global Initiative

From 2008 to 2013, Winer worked at the global public affairs and strategic consultancy firm APCO Worldwide, where he served as senior vice president. Before that, his biorelates he served under the Bill Clinton administration as “the State Department’s first Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Law Enforcement from 1994-1999.” He returned to the State Department in 2013.

From 2007 until 2016, APCO did extensive pro bono work for the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI).

Hmmm, sounds like somebody has to be laid out as a fall guy.

Wonder how much of a payoff it would take for someone like him - probably in the $5-$10 million range. If they were Chicago polls, much, much less ;-) Mueller was ex-head of the FBI and only got $30 million or so in taxpayer billing.

These people are hanging tight so far, but have to remember “Don’t panic, but if you have to panic, be first.” The ones that hang tightest are going to be burned. Maybe not Obama, but up to and through the level of Brennan may well be sacrificial.

Is Jonathan Winer related to Anthony Weiner? Inquiring minds want to know.

Winer is a hardcore leftist, if not closet Marxist.

Let’s go back in time. Read this>
From the then Maoist-oriented “Guardian” US weekly, their Calendar section of events in NY City/Manhattan, from the schedule of the New York Marxist School, Thurs. Jan. 29, 1987, “Roy Smith, attorney on behalf of the National Lawyers Guild Central America Task Force presents: “IRAN-CONTRAGATED FORUM. 7 pm, PLACE: New York law School, 47 Worth Street. SPEAKERS: Ellen Ray and Bill Schaap, CovertAction Information Bulletin; Michael Ratner, Center for Constitutional Rights. JONATHAN WINER, counsel to Sen. Kerry (D-Mass).”

OK> Here are the needed ideological identities of the players and organizations:
* National Lawyers Guild - set up in the 1930’s by the Soviet to aid communists on trial in the US (successor to the International Red Aid). NLG was still Marxist till today, with old CPers dying off in the 80’s and the New Left Castroites/Sandinistas/Khomeinites taking over (with a small Maoist contingent around).

* Ray and Schaap - CAIB - key aides to CIA traitor Phillip Agee and his operations. Agee admitted that he was working with both the KGB and their Cuban subsidiary, the DGI. Both are hard core reds, and very dangerous

* Michael Ratner - head of the NLG, very smart and dangerous. Possibly a protege’ of Marxist attorney William Kunstler and law firm (Kunstler, Kinoy, Stavis - CP, and Weiss (possibly KGB). Some in his family were also in the NLG and its offspring, the Center for Constitutional Rights (created by Kunstler, Kinoy and a few other Marxists in the 60s). I’ve met and heard Kunstler and Kinoy speak at red front conferences.

* Winer (misspelled Winter) in the notice). Kerry was up to his red neck trying to support the Marxist Sandinistas in Nicaragua and keeping Daniel Ortega and his brother, etc. in power against the rising, powerful movement they disdained as “Contras”. The Freedom Fighters had fought the Sandinistas to the point that they were losing men and popular support, so Kerry, Sen. Harkin and Sen. Dodd tried their best in the 80’s to reinforce their hold on the country despite US attempts to get rid of them (See: S.Stephen Powell, “Covert Cadre” for more on this as well as the Council for Inter-American Security’s reports “The Revolution Lobby” and esp. “The Real Secret Ware: Sandinista Political Warfare and its Effects on Congress”, Bouchey, Waller, Baldwin. 1987.

Winer is dangerous and he appears on Fox shows to represent the Left but none of his real background is known to Carlson/Hannity/Ingraham, etc.

You now know more about Winer then the above combined.

Winer is THE ENEMY just as KERRY is the traitor. We exposed Kerry in our book “Unfit for Command” for his betrayal of his own sailors in SVN during the war and his ties to Hanoi/VC operatives when he left the Navy. He never stopped being a communist covert sympathizer and then he moved over to help the religious fascists in Iran, even till today (remember his recent meeting with Khomeini, etc?).

Kerry is a traitor. Once he was only self-promoting/advancing ambitious but he followed the tracks of Gen. Benedict Arnold and sold out his country too.

FEDORA, PIASA, ETL, join in. Time to piss in the waters of Kerry’s treason.

Oh, I left out that Kerry hired well known No. Vietnamese disinformation propagandist D. Gareth Gary Porter to work on his Senate staff, along with admitted perjurer Frank Varelli and admitted “saboteur” Tony Avirgan (La Penca Bombing hyped “victim”) of the sabotage of US AF planes at Willow Grove, Pa. in the 1970’s.

If there is a place in Hell for American traitors, Kerry’s is right next to Arnold, Ames, Aldrich, the Rosenbergs, Hiss, and Abzug.

Everyone at the top of Barky’s admin was involved in the conspiracy to overthrow a legitimately elected president. We here at FR knew all along they all had to be.

Question is, is anyone in Washington interested in real justice?

Maybe not Obama...

I hope you're wrong on that. This fish stinks from the head and what has happened needs to be prevented from ever being attempted again.

Marie Harf worked for/with John Kerry too.

She looked very uncomfortable the day the Mueller report came out.

Another member of the Kerry/Winer clique is Peter Kornbluh, who worked for Senator Tom Harkin's staff in the 1980s and knew Winer back then. Kornbluh arranged and attended Harkin and Kerry's 1985 visit to Daniel Ortega (paging Bernie Sanders). Kornbluh also associated with IPS types like Saul Landau, and has done a lot of FOIA work getting documents related to Cuba declassified. He recently appeared at an event at the Cuban embassy honoring Fidel Castro.

Kornbluh, who is still around, is mentioned in “Covert Cadres”, esp. as an IPS fellow etc. and the Council for Inter-American Security books. hardcore red in my opinion.
