Guise. Anon been thinking about this for a long time now. The Steele Dossier golden shower thing seemed made up to anon from the start. Why? Because anon clearly remembers a Don Henley sond from 1989 that mentioned POTUS and golden showers. That's why. Anon felt sure another anon would have posted this already. Searched, found nothing. So here. These people are stupid. These people lack imagination, originality, and plagarize each other. These people think we are stupid. These people are going to eat each other alive.

Don Henley Lyrics
"Gimme What You Got"
Baby picks off your plate-yours looks better
And she throws hers on the floor
Here, in the home of the brave
And the land of the free
The first word that baby learns is more
So you're out there floating like a big, puffy cloud
With the pool and the charcoal
And the kids and the wife
'til the reruns of your dreams are interrupted
And you step out into life
And it's still gimme, gimme what you got
I said gimme, gimme what you got
(I want it, I want it)
Gimme, gimme what you got
Now it's take and take and takeover, takeover
It's all take and never give
All these trumped up towers
They're just golden showers
Where are people supposed to live?
You can arm yourself, alarm yourself
But there's nowhere you can run
'cause a man with a briefcase
Can steal more money
Than any man with a gun
I said gimme, gimme what you got
Said gimme, gimme what you got
Gimme, gimme what you got
Gimme, gimme what you got
You got the price of admission
You don't have to ask permission
To take somethin' from another man
You cross a lawyer with the godfather, baby
Make you an offer that you can't understand
From main street to wall street to washington
From men to women to men
It's a nation of noses pressed up against the glass
They've seen it on the tv
And they want it pretty fast
You spend your whole life
Just pilin' it up there
You got stack and stacks and stacks
Then, gabriel comes and taps you on the shoulder
But you don't see no hearses with luggage racks
Gimme, gimme what you got
I said gimme, gimme what you got
I said gimme, gimme what you got
(I want it, I want it)
Gimme, gimme what you got

Q Research General #8923: Who Posted The Picture Edition
DOJ inspector general reviewed more than 1 million records and conducted more than 100 interviews in FISA abuse investigation
A newly uncovered letter from the Justice Department's inspector general to Congress revealed the DOJ watchdog has "received and reviewed over one million records" and has "conducted over 100 interviews, including current and former DOJ and FBI personnel" during its inquiry into alleged abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Michael Horowitz, the head of the DOJ's Office of Inspector General, sent the letter in late June to the chairman and ranking members of the Senate Judiciary and Senate Homeland Security committees, as well as to the chairman and ranking members of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. The letter, first obtained by the Daily Caller, explained that his investigators "have made substantial progress towards completing the review."
Horowitz and his team have been looking into whether the FBI and the DOJ abused the FISA process when they filed four applications and renewals beginning in October 2016 to surveil Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The applications relied heavily on the unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who was hired by Fusion GPS. The opposition research firm was hired by Marc Elias of the Perkins Coie law firm at the behest of the Clinton presidential campaign. "The [Office of Inspector General] has been working diligently on this review since its initiation on March 28, 2018," Horowitz wrote. "As in all of our projects, my direction to our team has been to follow the evidence wherever it leads and to complete the review as quickly as possible."
Horowitz's letter also said that his team had been working to meet with "additional witnesses" to make sure that their effort was "thorough and complete." New reports from earlier on Tuesday indicated that the DOJ watchdog's attorneys had met with Steele in London earlier in June and had found at least some of Steele's information new and useful. The reports indicated that Horowitz may have extended the probe as a result of what it learned from Steele. Attorney General William Barr said earlier this year that he'd expected this inquiry to wrap up in May or June. "The review has been complicated by other factors, such as the current classification level of virtually all of the information we have obtained and the fact that many witnesses are no longer government employees," Horowitz continued in his letter. "Nevertheless, our investigative work is nearing completion, and we have been in the process of drafting our report for some time." Horowitz told the members of Congress that, when his draft report is done, he will follow the "usual process" to make sure the document is accurate, complete, and appropriately classified. And the DOJ watchdog said he planned on letting them know about the timeline for the release of the final report "in the coming weeks." Horowitz had reportedly been homing in on Steele for months, and sources close to Steele expressed his willingness to meet with Horowitz in June. Special counsel Robert Mueller's team reportedly met with Steele twice in September 2017, and Steele also provided a written statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018.

SAUCE: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-russia/trump-dossier-author-grilled-by-justice-department-watchdogs-sources-idUSKCN1U410I
Trump 'dossier' author grilled by Justice Department watchdogs: sources
(Reuters) - Federal lawyers probing the origins of the investigation of ties between Russia and President Donald Trump's campaign have interviewed the author of a "dossier" that alleged misconduct between Trump and Moscow, prompting the lawyers to extend their inquiry.
Three attorneys from the Inspector General's office of the U.S. Department of Justice met in person in early June with dossier author Christopher Steele in Britain, said two sources with direct knowledge of the lawyers' travels.
The interview with Steele, a former top spy on Russia for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, or MI6, took place while Trump was in London for a formal state visit with Queen Elizabeth and a meeting with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.
Steele's dossier, made public in 2017, alleged that Moscow attempted to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and that there was potential collusion between Russia and Trump's campaign, along with other unverified and salacious claims about the president.
The Justice Department's inspector general has been examining the earliest stages of an FBI investigation of Trump, his former 2016 presidential campaign rival Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, Russia and former Trump adviser Carter Page.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, whose office is an internal Justice Department watchdog, launched his probe in March 2018 amid allegations by Republican lawmakers that the FBI erred in seeking a warrant to monitor Page.
Trump has described the Steele dossier as "bogus" and Republicans have long sought to discredit the FBI's investigation, which was later taken over by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller. His final report on Russia and the Trump campaign was released in redacted form in mid-April.
In that same month, Attorney General William Barr, who now heads the Justice Department, told a congressional committee that the Horowitz probe would be completed by May or June.
One of the two sources said Horowitz's investigators appear to have found Steele's information sufficiently credible to have to extend the investigation. Its completion date is now unclear.
A key focus of the Horowitz probe is whether the FBI followed proper procedures when it applied for a warrant with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) to secretly conduct surveillance on Page and his ties to Russia.
Declassified documents show that the FBI cited information in Steele's dossier when it asked the secretive FISA court in late 2016 for a warrant to eavesdrop electronically on Page, a U.S. businessman with interests in Russia.
Horowitz's office in Washington declined to comment.
A spokesman for Orbis Business Intelligence, Steele's London investigations firm, declined to comment.
UK government agencies declined to disclose whether they were in contact with Horowitz's team in London.
Moscow repeatedly rejected accusations of interfering in the election.
Mueller's report, released on April 18, said that Russia did meddle in the election in an attempt to boost Trump's candidacy. It said Trump campaign officials had multiple contacts with Russian officials. But it found insufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the campaign and Moscow.
The report also described numerous attempts by Trump to impede Mueller's inquiry, but it stopped short of declaring that he committed a crime. Mueller during his inquiry brought charges against 34 people, including Russian agents and ex-Trump aides.
Page, a foreign policy adviser during Trump's campaign, drew scrutiny from the FBI, which said in legal filings in 2016 that it believed he had been "collaborating and conspiring" with the Kremlin. But he was not charged.
Investigators working for Mueller in September 2017 twice interviewed Steele, who also gave written testimony to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018. That panel and other committees of Congress have taken up where Mueller left off after his investigation ended.

Mystery death of ex-KGB chief linked to MI6 spy's dossier on Donald Trump
An ex-KGB chief suspected of helping the former MI6 spy Christopher Steele to compile his dossier on Donald Trump may have been murdered by the Kremlin and his death covered up. it has been claimed.
Oleg Erovinkin, a former general in the KGB and its successor the FSB, was found dead in the back of his car in Moscow on Boxing Day in mysterious circumstances.
Erovinkin was a key aide to Igor Sechin, a former deputy prime minister and now head of Rosneft, the state-owned oil company, who is repeatedly named in the dossier.
It was later claimed he died of a heart attack.

Inevitably, though, word of the dossier began to spread through Washington. A former State Department official recalls a social gathering where he danced around the subject with the British Ambassador, Sir Kim Darroch. After exchanging cryptic hints, to make sure that they were both in the know, he asked the Ambassador, "Is this guy Steele legit?" The Ambassador replied, "Absolutely." Brennan, then the C.I.A. director, also heard the rumors. (Nunes reportedly plans to examine Steele's interactions with the C.I.A. and the State Department next.) But Brennan said recently, on "Meet the Press," that he heard just "snippets" about the dossier "in press circles," emphasizing that he didn't see the dossier until well after the election, and said that "it did not play any role whatsoever" in the intelligence community's appraisal of Russian election meddling. Brennan said of the dossier, "It was up to the F.B.I. to see whether or not they could verify any of it."

We'll see what happens.
In theory there are a lot of different investigations going forward, and best case scenario all the dominos fall and we get everybody. There are scenarios where that doesn't happen. But what do we end up getting? It's mid 2019, Nov 2020, we better at least be past the part where the media pretends it doesn't know who Christopher Steele is and that what he did is bad for Hillary Clinton. And the questions at that time are what Democrats and maybe some Never Trump GOP go to jail.
4 years then of having the votes you need everywhere to solve all the problems that are not Democrats spying on the new GOP President and which politicians has sex with which kids, but the general state of shittiness.

'Severe, Serious Abuses' By FBI, CIA Are 'Going To Come Out': Rep. Peter King
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) says that he's "confident" that the American people will learn of "severe, serious abuses" carried out by the FBI and CIA against President Trump and his campaign during the 2016 US election. Speaking with New York radio host an billionaire John Catsimatidis, King said "There was no legal basis at all for them to begin the investigation of his campaign," when asked about the ongoing probe by Attorney General William Barr, referring to the FBI's application for a FISA warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. "Just from evidence I've seen over the last several years being on the Intelligence Committee, being a member of Congress," said King, "there's no doubt to me there were severe serious abuses that were carried out in the FBI, and I believe the top levels of the CIA."
While Democrats dispute that anything untoward took place against Trump or his campaign, Republicans have called out the FBI for relying on an unverified dossier compiled, and possibly fabricated, by a former UK spy on behalf of the Clinton campaign.
Republicans, including California Rep. Devin Nunes, claimed that federal authorities did not fully disclose their reliance on an unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, which was part of opposition research for Hillary Clinton's campaign. Democrats dispute the notion that anything improper took place. They claim the dossier did not play a major role, and point to a footnote in the warrant application that acknowledged that some of the information came from research on Trump that was likely meant to hurt his campaign, even if it did not spell out exactly who paid for it. Republicans are now waiting on a report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, following an investigation of possible FBI abuses of the FISA system. Fox News has learned that key witnesses have come forward, after previously holding out. -Fox News.

Rep. Peter King: 'Severe, serious abuses' by FBI, CIA in Russia probe 'going to come out'
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said he is "confident" that when Attorney General Bill Barr concludes his investigation of the origins of the investigation of President Trump's 2016 campaign, the American people will learn that the FBI and CIA under the Obama administration engaged in foul play.
President Trump and his supporters have questioned how the investigation started in the first place, accusing the FBI of carrying it out under false pretenses. King is among those leveling such allegations.
"There was no legal basis at all for them to begin the investigation of his campaign," King said in a Friday interview with New York radio host John Catsimatidis, "and the way they carried it forward and the way information was leaked, the improper applications they filed in the FISA court to get surveillance, all of this is going to come out."
King was referring to the FBI's application for a warrant under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans, including California Rep. Devin Nunes, claimed that federal authorities did not fully disclose their reliance on an unverified dossier compiled by Christopher Steele, which was part of opposition research for Hillary Clinton's campaign.

Republicans are now waiting on a report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, following an investigation of possible FBI abuses of the FISA system. Fox News has learned that key witnesses have come forward, after previously holding out.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating – a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.

Q Research General #8875: Night Shift Winning Edition
Here's something off topic a bit, since the topic is Epstein.
Is Christopher Steele famous? Has he been on the news? Do people know who he is?
What about others? We know the names and faces and bios of a whole bunch of people who we're assuming will be arrested, hanged for treason, or something, in the future.
At this point, who are the people that we know, that nobody else really does?
I'd like to get this show on the road, and I really don't want to get into fights on facebook and I don't really want to say "oh, your people are going to jail".
But if there are names like Christoper Steele that nobody except us know (is that true?) what are those names?
My thinking is that I'd like to put a meme out there that is just a picture of Christopher Steele and his name. "This Is Christopher Steele".
Nothing funny or useful now. But when people do find out about Christopher Steele, those who put a meme that was "this is Christopher Steele" will have a very easy time making the case that they knew about all this for months or years, and obviously the media did too, and they were just covering it up.
I don't want to fight with people now. I want to win my argument in the future, and these "memes" - this is Lisa Page, whatever - would help.

Reluctant witnesses in FISA abuse probe agree to talk to DOJ inspector general
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/reluctant-witnesses-in-fisa-abuse-probe-agree-to-talk-to-doj-inspector-general
While the "reluctant witness" is not specifically identified by Herridge in her reporting, as you can see above there is enough background material to identify it is likely former State Department official Kathleen Kavalec.
Kathleen Kavalec was the Deputy Assistant Secretary - Department of State, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, serving under Victoria Nuland and covered Russia as part of her State Dept. duties. Kavalec was contacted by Christopher Steele prior to the FISA application on Carter Page being sought by the FBI and DOJ. Kavalic wrote a series of notes and emails to the FBI undercutting the dossier central claims made by Steele.
My Guess
That FISA application reference to October 2016 US State Department source IS the Kavalec email.
If so.....this may be THE indisputable LIE.
1) The FBI didn't reveal the actual source: Steele (This would be at least the 3rd time in the application they are using Steele in circular substantiation)
2) They hid Kavalac's doubts, warnings and validations.
Any thoughts about Kathleen Kavalec Anons?

At a May press conference capping his tenure as special counsel, Robert Mueller emphasized what he called "the central allegation" of the two-year Russia probe. The Russian government, Mueller sternly declared, engaged in "multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election, and that allegation deserves the attention of every American." Mueller's comments echoed a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) asserting with "high confidence" that Russia conducted a sweeping 2016 election influence campaign. "I don't think we've ever encountered a more aggressive or direct campaign to interfere in our election process," then-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told a Senate hearing.
While the 448-page Mueller report found no conspiracy between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia, it offered voluminous details to support the sweeping conclusion that the Kremlin worked to secure Trump's victory. The report claims that the interference operation occurred "principally" on two fronts: Russian military intelligence officers hacked and leaked embarrassing Democratic Party documents, and a government-linked troll farm orchestrated a sophisticated and far-reaching social media campaign that denigrated Hillary Clinton and promoted Trump.
But a close examination of the report shows that none of those headline assertions are supported by the report's evidence or other publicly available sources. They are further undercut by investigative shortcomings and the conflicts of interest of key players involved:
The report uses qualified and vague language to describe key events, indicating that Mueller and his investigators do not actually know for certain whether Russian intelligence officers stole Democratic Party emails, or how those emails were transferred to WikiLeaks.
The report's timeline of events appears to defy logic. According to its narrative, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange announced the publication of Democratic Party emails not only before he received the documents but before he even communicated with the source that provided them.
There is strong reason to doubt Mueller's suggestion that an alleged Russian cutout called Guccifer 2.0 supplied the stolen emails to Assange.
Mueller's decision not to interview Assange - a central figure who claims Russia was not behind the hack - suggests an unwillingness to explore avenues of evidence on fundamental questions.
U.S. intelligence officials cannot make definitive conclusions about the hacking of the Democratic National Committee computer servers because they did not analyze those servers themselves. Instead, they relied on the forensics of CrowdStrike, a private contractor for the DNC that was not a neutral party, much as "Russian dossier" compiler Christopher Steele, also a DNC contractor, was not a neutral party. This puts two Democrat-hired contractors squarely behind underlying allegations in the affair - a key circumstance that Mueller ignores.
Further, the government allowed CrowdStrike and the Democratic Party's legal counsel to submit redacted records, meaning CrowdStrike and not the government decided what could be revealed or not regarding evidence of hacking.
Mueller's report conspicuously does not allege that the Russian government carried out the social media campaign. Instead it blames, as Mueller said in his closing remarks, "a private Russian entity" known as the Internet Research Agency (IRA).
Mueller also falls far short of proving that the Russian social campaign was sophisticated, or even more than minimally related to the 2016 election. As with the collusion and Russian hacking allegations, Democratic officials had a central and overlooked hand in generating the alarm about Russian social media activity.
John Brennan, then director of the CIA, played a seminal and overlooked role in all facets of what became Mueller's investigation: the suspicions that triggered the initial collusion probe; the allegations of Russian interference; and the intelligence assessment that purported to validate the interference allegations that Brennan himself helped generate. Yet Brennan has since revealed himself to be, like CrowdStrike and Steele, hardly a neutral party – in fact a partisan with a deep animus toward Trump….

Report: New Horowitz Witness, Likely Kathleen Kavalec, Agrees to Talk to IG Investigators...
Posted by sundance
In a new report Fox News journalist Catherine Herridge outlines a "reluctant witness" who has recently agreed to cooperate with DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and his review of potential FISA abuse by the Obama DOJ and FBI.
Fox News - Key witnesses sought for questioning by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz early in his investigation into alleged government surveillance abuse have come forward at the 11th hour, Fox News has learned.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating - a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
[...] Late-breaking information is known to delay such investigations. Horowitz's office similarly encountered new evidence late in the process of the IG review into law enforcement decisions during the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation.
In this case, additional FISA information came to light late in the process - including October 2016 contact (first reported by The Hill and confirmed by Fox News) between a senior State Department official and a former British spy Christopher Steele, who authored the infamous and salacious anti-Trump dossier. (read more)
While the "reluctant witness" is not specifically identified by Herridge in her reporting, as you can see above there is enough background material to identify it is likely former State Department official Kathleen Kavalec.
Kathleen Kavalec was the Deputy Assistant Secretary - Department of State, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, serving under Victoria Nuland and covered Russia as part of her State Dept. duties. Kavalec was contacted by Christopher Steele prior to the FISA application on Carter Page being sought by the FBI and DOJ. Kavalic wrote a series of notes and emails to the FBI undercutting the dossier central claims made by Steele.

Report on Russia probe origins delayed as new evidence prompts deeper review
Sources tell Fox News that Justice Department inspector general is examining a senior State Department official's contact with Christopher Steele, author of the anti-Trump dossier; chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge reports.
Key witnesses sought for questioning by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz early in his investigation into alleged government surveillance abuse have come forward at the 11th hour, Fox News has learned.
Sources familiar with the matter said at least one witness outside the Justice Department and FBI started cooperating – a breakthrough that came after Attorney General William Barr ordered U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a separate investigation into the origins of the bureau's 2016 Russia case that laid the foundation for Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
While the investigative phase of the inspector general's long-running probe is said to be complete, the sources said recent developments required some witnesses to be reinterviewed. And while Barr testified that he expected the report into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuse to be ready in May or last month, multiple sources said the timeline has slipped.
"The wheels of inspector general investigations move very, very slowly," former senior DOJ official Tom Dupree told Fox News.
Dupree, who served as deputy assistant attorney general from 2007 to 2009, does not have firsthand knowledge of the current IG case but is familiar with the process. He added, "Like any investigation, you talk to one person, something that person tells you sends you back ... to the first person, so it can be a very extensive, exhaustive process, because you are constantly picking up leads, interviewing former sources and navigating complex questions of classified information."
Late-breaking information is known to delay such investigations. Horowitz's office similarly encountered new evidence late in the process of the IG review into law enforcement decisions during the 2016 Hillary Clinton email investigation. In this case, additional FISA information came to light late in the process - including October 2016 contact (first reported by The Hill and confirmed by Fox News) between a senior State Department official and a former British spy Christopher Steele, who authored the infamous and salacious anti-Trump dossier.

The State Department contact with Steele was relayed to a senior FBI official. The timeline matters because about two weeks later, the FBI and DOJ used Steele's unverified research, paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign, to secure a surveillance warrant against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. At the very least, it's been argued, Steele's contact with another government agency should have been a red flag for the FBI because it may have violated his confidential human source agreement.
Steele was later fired by the FBI over his media contacts before the 2016 presidential election. The Page surveillance warrant is the central issue of the DOJ IG's review.
With the timeline for Horowitz's report not public, one of the wild cards is the final review by the FBI and DOJ, which includes classification issues and could take weeks.
A spokesman for Horowitz would not comment on the report's status. But during largely unrelated testimony in November, Horowitz offered some guidance for the timeline of the FISA abuse probe in response to questions from GOP Rep. Jim Jordan.
"What I can say is given the volume of documents we've had and the number of witnesses it looks like we'll need to interview, we are likely to be in the same sort of general range of documents and witnesses as the last report," Horowitz said, referring to his team's review of the Clinton email case. "It wouldn't surprise me if we are in that million or so plus range of documents and a hundred-ish or so interviews. The last review, as you know, took us about ... 16 months or so."
If that same guidance holds, the window for completion would begin this month, though it remains unclear how much the DOJ/FBI review and the additional interviews could delay the process.

Mueller's Own Report Undercuts Its Core Russia-Meddling Claims

Q Research General #8830: Brand New Marine One Helicopter To Make Debut Edition

Russian oligarch's story could spell trouble for Team Mueller
BY JOHN SOLOMON
Sometimes it is the quiet, elusive ones who come back to haunt you. And for ex-special prosecutor Robert Mueller, one of those might be a Russian billionaire named Oleg Deripaska.
The oligarch who once controlled Russia's largest aluminum empire has been an international man of intrigue in the now-completed and disproven Trump collusion investigation.
Deripaska was a disaffected former business client of Donald Trump's fallen campaign chairman Paul Manafort. He also was a legal research client of Trump-hating, Clinton-aiding British spy Christopher Steele. In his spare time, he was an occasional friendly cooperator with the FBI and its fired deputy director, Andrew McCabe.
And, at the height of the Russia collusion hysteria, Deripaska was sanctioned by the Trump administration to financially punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for his meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
With the Russia case, in which he had so many connections, now completed, Deripaska is breaking his silence. And what he has to say could impact Mueller's July 17 testimony before Congress.
In a wide-ranging interview with me, Deripaska confirmed a story told to me more than a year ago by law enforcement sources: He was indeed interviewed by FBI agents in September 2016 during the early Russia probe, and he told them he strongly doubted the bureau's theory that the Trump campaign, through Manafort, was colluding with Moscow to hijack the 2016 election.
"I told them straightforward, 'Look, I am not a friend with him (Manafort). Apparently not, because I started a court case (against him) six or nine months before ... . But since I'm Russian I would be very surprised that anyone from Russia would try to approach him for any reason, and wouldn't come and ask me my opinion,'" he said, recounting exactly what he says he told the FBI agents that day.
"I told them straightforward, I just don't believe that he would represent any Russian interest. And knowing what he's doing on Ukraine for the last, what, seven or eight years."
OK, so why should you care if a Russian denied Trump campaign collusion with Russia during the election?
First, Deripaska wasn't just any Russian. He was closely aligned with Putin and had been helpful to the FBI as far back as 2009. So he had earned some trust with the agents.
Most importantly, Deripaska's interview with the FBI reportedly was never provided by Team Mueller to Manafort's lawyers, even though it was potential proof of innocence, according to Manafort defense lawyer Kevin Downing. Manafort, initially investigated for collusion, was convicted on tax and lobbying violations unrelated to the Russia case.
That omission opens a possible door for appeal for what is known as a Brady violation, for hiding exculpatory information from a defendant.
"Recent revelations by The Hill prove that the Office of Special Counsel's (OSC) claim that they had a legitimate basis to include Paul Manafort in an investigation of potential collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government is false," Downing told me. "The failure to disclose this information to Manafort, the courts, or the public reaffirms that the OSC did not have a legitimate basis to investigate Manafort, and may prove that the OSC had no legitimate basis to investigate potential collusion between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government."
Deripaska's second relevance to Mueller's congressional hearings has to do with a series of events that first gained him trust inside the FBI.
Deripaska confirmed a story I reported last year from FBI sources that he spent more than $20 million of his own money between 2009 and 2011 on a private rescue operation to free Robert Levinson, a retired FBI agent captured in Iran in 2007 while on a CIA mission.
Deripaska confirmed he paid for the operation at the request of the FBI, which was then under Mueller's direction. And he added that McCabe, then a rising FBI supervisor who was a former colleague of Levinson and later became a key figure in the Russia collusion probe, was one of those who asked him to help.
"I was approached, you know, by someone that he is under a lot of scrutiny now - McCabe," Deripaska said. "He also said that it was important enough for all of them (FBI officials). And I kind of trusted them."

Oleg Deripaska Says He Hired Christopher Steele To Work On Research Project
A Russian aluminum magnate with close ties to Vladimir Putin said he hired Trump dossier author Christopher Steele to work on a research project related to a legal battle in London. Oleg Deripaska told TheHill.TV that his attorneys hired Steele on retainer for the work. "It was a research project to support one of the cases against me in London. My understanding [is] that lawyers trust him for some reason, and he was for quite [sic] time on retainer," Deripaska told Hill opinion contributor John Solomon in the interview, published Tuesday.
Deripaska's connection to Steele further complicates the view of the former British spy, who has been heralded by Trump critics for his investigation into possible links between the Trump campaign and Russia. At the very least, it shows Steele is willing to work on both sides of the fence on Russia-related issues. Steele, who operates a private intelligence firm in London, was hired in June 2016 by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that worked for the Clinton campaign and DNC. The State Department has restricted Deripaska's visa over concerns about connections to Russian organized crime. The Treasury Department sanctioned Deripaska and six other Russian oligarchs April 6, 2018, over their ties to the Russian government and Russian energy sector. He sued the U.S. government March 15, claiming the sanctions have cost him billions of dollars and were based on false rumors. Steele's reputation has also been tarnished by the special counsel's report, which said investigators could not establish a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian government. Steele alleged the Trump campaign and Russian government were engaged in a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation" to influence the 2016 election. Deripaska did not say how much Steele was paid, or how long he worked on the unspecified project. He also did not say whether he spoke with Steele regarding his investigation of Trump.
In addition to the research project, Steele also lobbied Justice Department official Bruce Ohr to help Deripaska with issues related to his visa. Deripaska indicated in his interview that Steele and Ohr introduced him to other Justice Department officials. "They approached me and introduced me to some people in Justice, and we had, you know, one conversation," he said.
He also confirmed to Solomon that he was interviewed by FBI agents in September 2016 about Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman. Deripaska, who had a tumultuous business relationship with Manafort, said he told the FBI that he doubted there was any connection between the longtime GOP operative and Russia. "I would be very surprised that anyone from Russia would try to approach him for any reason," Deripaska said of Manafort. "I told them straightforward that I don't believe that he would represent any Russian interests." Deripaska at the time was conducting an investigation of his own into Manafort.
According to Ohr's congressional testimony in August 2018, Steele told him in a meeting July 30, 2016, that Deripaska's attorney, Paul Hauser, was investigating whether Manafort stole "a large amount of money" from a joint business venture with Deripaska in Ukraine. Steele also relayed details of his Trump investigation to Ohr, whose wife worked at the time for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that hired Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC. Ohr would later serve as Steele's back channel to the FBI. The bureau cut ties with Steele Nov. 1, 2016, after they found out he had communications with the media, but Ohr continued meeting with Steele and reported back details of their conversations.
Deripaska's American lawyer, Adam Waldman, also exchanged text messages with Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner in March 2017 in which he indicated he was in communication with Steele. Waldman unsuccessfully sought to arrange for Steele to meet with the Senate committee.

Q Research General #8825: Trump Curse Strikes Again Edition
Key RussiaHoax 'Sources' Identified - Two 'Russian' Jews Working for MI6, CIA
MI6 English agent Christopher Steele won't tell who his Russian sources were for his bogus dossier. The entire thing was a sham but he did attempt to put faces to some of his sources. Regardless, we've identified two of the 'Russians' likely used in the Steele dossier.
he first real Russian identified and linked to the Steele dossier is Simon Kukes. We know Kukes is related to the bogus dossier because Steele mentioned Kukes in his meeting with State Department official Kathleen Kavalec. Kavalec said that the CIA's Firestone brought Kukes in. [RI: Kukes is Jewish].
Remember, Firestone was kicked out of Russia because he was turning Russians into spies. Perhaps Firestone turned Kukes?
Far left Mother Jones wrote a piece about Kukes in September 2016 (see photo above from their report) as the fake news media was trying to tie candidate Trump to Putin. They discussed Kukes in their piece:
Now there's another Russian connection to add the list: Open Secrets reported Monday that Simon Grigorievich Kukes, a Russian-American oil magnate who has headed a number of Russian oil companies, has given more than $150,000 to the Trump campaign and Trump Victory, the campaign's joint fundraising committee, since March of this year. These donations mark the first time he's contributed to federal elections, according to FEC filings.
Kukes, a US citizen who was born in the former USSR and immigrated in his twenties, has worked at or led a number of Russian oil companies. After returning to Russia in 1995 to be a vice president at the Moscow office of Amoco oil, an American company, he went to work as a vice president at Yukos oil, one of Russia's largest oil companies. In 1998, he was hired to lead Tyumen, a large Russian oil producer, as president and CEO; in 2003, Kukes returned to Yukos on the heels of the high-profile ouster of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, the company's president and then the richest man in Russia. Khodorkovsky was sentenced to 10 years in prison on tax evasion charges that are widely-believed to have been trumped up by the Putin administration as retaliation for the billionaire's advocacy for democracy and corporate governance reform.
We don't know if Khordorkovsky or Kukes were set up by Firestone or the CIA. It looks likely based on Putin's actions. What we do know however, is that Simon Kukes was compromised in another CIA operation back in 2003.

"Very few still understand that Russiagate was a highly organized Deep State conspiracy conducted by the Democrat Party to overthrow President Donald Trump and to start the hot phase of World War III with Russia.
Toward that end, Congressman Adam Schiff was selected early on to spearhead this unparalleled act of treason and outright warmongering."
"…Adam Schiff was a key co-conspirator within a massive Deep State conspiracy to overthrow the POTUS. Other obvious co-conspirators include Democrats Eric Swalwell, Jerrold Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, Richard Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mazie Hirono, among many other prominent members of Congress. This seditious plot to remove Trump from office by way of a soft coup also implicates Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, John Brennan, James Clapper, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, Lisa Page, Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, Stephan Halper, among many other treasonous Deep State operatives. Of course, there are numerous traitors throughout the Mainstream Media who also covertly colluded to carry out a soft coup against Trump whose names are now notorious for fake news-Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Brian Stelter, Cris Cuomo, Chris Matthews, Larry O'Donnell, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Andrea Mitchell, Alisyn Camerota, Erin Burnett, etc. The critical point is that the fake Russiagate hoax was a highly organized and orchestrated scheme premeditated at the highest echelons of the U.S, Federal Government to stealthily overturn the 2016 POTUS election outcome."

As reported by The Hill,
If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI's secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump's campaign, it sat buried for more than 2 1/2 years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele's now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's ties to Russia.
Be still my heart. The Hill actually used the term "discredited" to describe the Steele dossier."

"…Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.
In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.
The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.
The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...
And then force Trump to resign.
Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017."

Kamala Harris campaign lawyer hired Fusion GPS for Hillary Clinton
The former top lawyer for Hillary Clinton's failed presidential campaign who hired Fusion GPS to carry out controversial opposition research against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 is now working for a top 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful. Marc Elias, who heads Perkins Coie's political law group, became general counsel for California Sen. Kamala Harris' presidential bid this year. Elias, who held the same position in Clinton's campaign, is named in two pending Federal Election Commission complaints and in a recent federal lawsuit alleging that the Clinton campaign broke campaign finance laws when it used Perkins Coie to hire Fusion GPS.
Fusion GPS went on to hire British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled an unverified dossier allegedly based on sources close to the Kremlin which was disseminated to the media and used by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is reviewing alleged FISA abuse related to the dossier and Attorney General William Barr launched his "investigation of the investigators" earlier this year. Clinton's former presidential campaign manager Robby Mook said in 2017 that he authorized Elias to hire an outside firm to dig up dirt on Trump's connections with Russia. "I asked our lawyer and I gave him a budget allocation to investigate this, particularly the international aspect," he said. Mook said Elias was receiving information from Fusion GPS or directly from Steele himself about the research into Trump and Russia in 2016, and that Elias then periodically briefed the Clinton campaign about the findings. "We were getting briefings that were put together by the law firm with information," Mook said. "I'm proud that we were able to assemble some of the research that has brought this to light." "I'm just glad that it's coming out now and I'm glad that there was research there," Mook said.
Watchdog groups allege that Hillary for America purposely concealed the hiring of Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele by reporting all the payments that it made to Perkins Coie as "legal services" without mentioning opposition research. Perkins Coie was paid over $12 million between 2016 and 2017 for its work representing Clinton and the DNC. According to its co-founder Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS was in turn paid $50,000 per month from Perkins Coie, and Christopher Steele was paid roughly $168,000 by Fusion GPS for his work. Perkins Coie admitted in an October 2017 letter that it had hired Fusion GPS, claiming that "Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie" in March 2016 with the knowledge that Perkins Coie was representing Clinton and the DNC, and that Perkins Coie then "engaged" Fusion GPS from April of that year until just prior to the November election "to perform a variety of research services during the 2016 election cycle."
Elias himself personally "retained Fusion GPS ... to conduct the research" and did so "on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC," according to a report from the Washington Post. Brian Fallon, the former national press secretary for the Clinton campaign, previously defended Elias. "Marc is known as one of the most skilled professionals in Democratic politics, in addition to being the party's top election lawyer," Fallon said in 2017. "I am damn glad he pursued this on behalf of our campaign and only regret more of this material was not verified in time for the voters to learn it before the election."
Elias is a fixture in Democratic politics. Aside from working for Harris, Clinton, and the DNC, Elias has said that he and his colleagues at Perkins Coie have represented the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Democratic Governors Association, various Democratic PACs, the pro-abortion EMILY's List, dozens of Democratic senators, and more than a hundred Democratic members of the House. Neither the Harris campaign nor Elias responded to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.

Rep. John Ratcliffe Says FISA Abuse Investigation Is Complete
Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe said Monday that the Justice Department inspector general has finished his investigation into whether the FBI abused the surveillance court system during its investigation of the Trump campaign. In an interview on Fox News, Ratcliffe said that he met in June with the inspector general, Michael Horowitz, to discuss the timing, but not the content, of the release of the report.
"He related that his team's investigative work is complete," said Ratcliffe, a Republican member of the House Intelligence and House Judiciary Committees. "They are now in the process of drafting the report. I would expect that it will be a draft that will be completed in short order." Ratcliffe said that he does not expect that the report will be made public "any time real soon," though he is hopeful it will be released before Congress breaks for its August recess.
"He did relate to that as much as 20 percent of his report is probably going to include classified information, so that draft report will have to undergo a classification review at the FBI and at the Department of Justice," he said. "So, while I am hopeful that we might see it before members of Congress recess for the August recess, I'm not too certain about that."
Horowitz has been investigating whether the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in its applications for spy warrants against Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser. The FBI relied heavily on the infamous and unverified Steele dossier in the applications for the warrants. Republicans have alleged that the bureau not only failed to verify the dossier's allegations about Page, but that FBI officials failed to disclose to surveillance court judges that the Clinton campaign and DNC paid for the dossier, which was written by former British spy Christopher Steele.
Horowitz is also reportedly looking into the FBI's relationship with Steele. The dossier author reportedly agreed last month to meet with Horowitz, but it is unclear whether that meeting took place. Ratcliffe will be on hand on July 17, when former special counsel Robert Mueller will testify before both the House Intelligence and House Judiciary Committees. Mueller's report of the investigation poured cold water on the Steele dossier, which alleged a "well-developed conspiracy of co-ordination" between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
Ratcliffe is one of only a few lawmakers who has reviewed the four applications for Carter Page FISA warrants. The FBI obtained the first warrant on Oct. 21, 2016. Page has disputed the allegations against him in the dossier. He appeared before Mueller's grand jury on Nov. 17, 2017, and was not accused of any crimes in the special counsel's report.

Groups claim Clinton campaign broke campaign laws over Fusion GPS and Steele funding
''
Two watchdog groups filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission alleging the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee broke campaign laws by filing reports meant to conceal their hiring of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS and British ex-spy Christopher Steele. And one has now filed a lawsuit in federal court.
The Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan nonprofit, filed its complaint with the FEC in 2017, alleging that Clinton and the DNC "failed to accurately disclose the purpose and recipient of payments for the dossier of research alleging connections between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russia, effectively hiding these payments from public scrutiny, contrary to the requirements of federal law." The Coolidge Reagan Foundation, a conservative nonprofit, filed its complaint with the FEC a year later against Clinton, the DNC, Steele, and the Perkins Coie law firm, which represented Clinton and the DNC in 2016 and was paid $12 million in 2016-2017. Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then hired Steele.
The foundation alleged the Clinton campaign "conspired" with foreign nationals by hiring Steele, who says he gathered information from sources close to the Kremlin. The FBI used Steele's unverified dossier in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page. The foundation filed its lawsuit in D.C. District Court in May, hoping a judge will force the FEC to rule on its complaint.
Dan Backer, one of the group's founders and a "pro-Trump guy" who runs two pro-Trump political action committees, told the Washington Examiner that the goal of their lawsuit was to get the FEC to act, and, if not, to give the group the ability to investigate. The foundation accuses the Clinton campaign of paying Perkins Coie for legal services to hide its opposition research efforts from the public. "They should've reported a payment to Fusion GPS. They could've called it opposition research. They could've just called it research. But it definitely wasn't just 'legal services,'" Backer told the Washington Examiner.
Following remarks from Trump earlier in June that he'd be open to accepting foreign information, FEC Chairwoman Ellen Weintraub released a viral statement on Twitter, saying, "Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation." Brendan Fischer, an FEC expert for the center, told the Washington Examiner that the "payments by the DNC and Clinton campaign for opposition research were legal, but hiding those payments was not." Fischer also said although it was doubtful that Steele's hiring broke the law, "whether Steele's subsequent engagement with Russian sources might run afoul of the law would really depend on the facts." The foundation, however, alleged that while Democratic officials have accused the Trump administration of collusion, "it was the Clinton-backed Democratic machine that conspired with foreigners in violation of both federal campaign finance law and basic decency to manipulate the election."
Backer contended Steele attempted to influence the election by spreading his dossier to members of the media and the government. An FEC spokesman told the Washington Examiner the organization could not comment because FEC actions must be kept confidential until the case is resolved. When asked whether the association with Steele or with Russian sources might constitute foreign interference, an FEC spokesman pointed the Washington Examiner to the the FEC website's section on foreign nationals. Fischer, who said that center is still waiting for the FEC to make a ruling, said that while most campaign finance violations only involve a fine, "if the violation is committed knowingly and willfully there could be criminal penalties."
Perkins Coie, Elias, the DNC, and the former Clinton campaign treasurer did not respond to requests seeking comment. A lawyer for Fusion GPS told the Washington Examiner that the firm has complied with the law. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is reviewing alleged FISA abuse, and Attorney General William Barr launched his "investigation of the investigators" earlier this year.

I read this High IQ post "somewhere on the Internet." Very Interesting, IMO.
Why Pelosi is Scared - And Against Impeachment
"I have a degree in Political Science, and I am a card-carrying Libertarian. I've been studying politics and political history for the past 30 years. My specialty is U.S. Presidents. That said, I hope that the House of Representatives impeaches Trump. Let me tell you what will happen next.
1. The House can pass articles of impeachment over the objections of the Republicans, and refer to the Senate for trial.
2. The Senate will conduct a trial. There will be a vote, and the Republicans will vote unanimously, along with a small number of Democrats, to not convict the President. Legally, it will all be over at that point.
3. However, during the trial, and this is what no one is thinking about right now, the President's attorneys will have the right to subpoena and question ANYONE THAT THEY WANT. . . That is different that the special counsel investigation, which was very one-sided. So, during the impeachment trial, we will be hearing testimony from James Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Glenn Simpson, Donna Brazille, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Christopher Steele, Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper, and a whole host of other participants in this whole sordid affair and the ensuing cover-up activities. A lot of dirt will be dug up; a lot of truth will be unveiled. Finger pointing will occur. Deals will start being made, and suddenly, a lot of democrats will start being charged and going to prison. All this, because, rememeber, the President's team will now, for the first time, have the RIGHT to question all of these people under oath - and they will turn on each other. That's already starting.
4. Lastly, one more thing will happen - the Senate will not convict the President. Nothing will happen to Trump. Most Americans are clueless about political processes, the law, and the Constitution. Most Americans believe that being impeached results in removal from office. They don't understand that phase 2 is a trial in and by the Senate, where he has zero chance of conviction. Remember, the Senate is controlled by Republicans; they will determine what testimony is allowed - and everything will be allowed, including: DNC collusion with the Clinton campaign to fix the election in favor of Hillary, the creation of the Trump dossier, the cover-up and destruction of emails that very likely included incriminating information. They'll incriminate each other for lying to the FISA court, for spying and wiretapping the Trump campaign, and for colluding with foreign political actors, especially Georg Soros. After the Senate declines to convict the President, we will have an election, and Trump will win. It will be a backlash against democrat petulance, temper tantrums, hypocrisy and dishonesty. Even minorities will vote for Trump, because, for the first time, they will see that democrats have spent 2+ years focused on maintain their own power, and not doing anything at all about black murders in Chicago, homelessness, opioids[sic], and other important issues that are actually killing people. And, we will spend the following four years listening to politicians and pundits claim that the whole impeachment was rigged somehow."

Nunes threatens ninth criminal referral, says Trump-Russia conspiracy peddlers are 'possessed'
Rep. Devin Nunes threatened to send a ninth criminal referral regarding the Trump-Russia investigation to the Justice Department if he does not receive information he requested about British ex-spy Christopher Steele, and accused those who still push the Russian collusion conspiracy of being "possessed." The California Republican sent letters Friday to FBI Director Christopher Wray and U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a review of the origins of the Russia inquiry. He asked about records the Bureau received in October 2016 that show a top official at the State Department undermining Steele's credibility. Steele authored a dossier, filled with salacious and unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia, that was used by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act or FISA warrants to wiretap onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In a Fox News interview on Sunday, Nunes said someone at the FBI appears to have been "determined to hide" then-Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's notes from both the FISA court and Congress. In the last session, when Nunes was chairman, the House Intelligence Committee conducted its own investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. "So they have until Friday to get it to us, and if they don't, we will make our ninth criminal referral," Nunes told host Maria Bartiromo. "Basically, we won't know exactly who at the FBI obstructed justice, but - Durham or the Department of Justice should be able to figure it out because there's e-mails that went around, and somebody decided not to give it to the Congress."
Nunes sent a notification in April to the Justice Department about eight criminal referrals targeting individuals tied to the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, including some that had to do with leaks. On May 1, Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department has opened "multiple criminal leak investigations" related to the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation. A week later, notes taken by Kavalec, obtained and released by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, revealed that she had a meeting with Steele on Oct. 11, 2016 - 10 days before the first Carter Page warrant application was submitted. Kavalec's notes said Steele admitted he was encouraged by his client, the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, to get his research out before the 2016 election. The notes, which were sent to the FBI, show Kavalec believed at least some of Steele's allegations to be false.
GOP lawmakers have demanded answers about the FBI's knowledge about Steele's "political motivations," including Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham sending letters to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz requesting documents. Nunes said Kavalec's notes should have been a "big red flag." He also lamented how many Americans appear to have become numb to the controversy because there have been so many of them. "I think a lot of times Americans are just becoming tone deaf to this because it's just like one grenade after another. It's, like, how many times do we have to see this Russia hoax, how bad it was and how really what you see – I think the only way to define this, Maria, is we have people that are possessed in this country, that continue to perpetuate this Russia hoax," he said.

Hope Hicks interview fraught with objections, a Steele dossier dig, and fixation on Corey Lewandowski (Hope Hicks transcript included)
In closed-door testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks cited the chaos created by the Steele dossier as her reason not to accept opposition research from a foreign government if she were to again work on a political campaign. In part of an exchange intended to highlight the recent controversial interview by President Trump, in which he said he would be open to accepting political dirt in 2020, Hicks made clear she still has some alignment with the president since leaving the White House.
Wednesday's interview by the panel, led by longtime Trump foe Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., was primarily focused on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible obstruction by President Trump and his associates. The 273-page transcript, released Thursday, show instances of Hicks snapping at the questions she faced – for instance, at one point she remarked to a lawyer representing the majority party, "we have this thing called Google now, so it's certainly helpful, I guess, to have it all in one place," when asked about opposition research from the opposing part, even when it is available to the public.
Meanwhile, Democrats were frustrated by the constant objections and appeared to fixate on former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, whom Hicks was rumored to have dated during the 2016 campaign. After the White House asserted executive privilege over any information Hicks might have been asked to give related to her work in the Trump administration, Democrats came out of that deposition complaining about Hicks' refusal to answer their questions while Republicans called it a "political stunt" and Trump said Hicks was put through "hell."
In one tense back-and-forth, Norm Eisen, counsel for the House Judiciary Democrats, pressed Hicks on foreign interference, bringing up Trump's July 2016 remarks calling on Russia to find emails from Hillary Clinton, his 2016 rival. Hicks said that "was not a comment that was intended as an instructive or a directive to a foreign government" and characterized it as "a joke" and said it was "intended as a light-hearted comment. Pivoting, Eisen brought up Trump's ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos from last week in which the president signaled an openness to accepting foreign assistance in the next president campaign. "Do you think that was a joke?" Eisen asked. Hicks responded, "I don't think that was a joke based on what I saw." Eisen asked Hicks whether she would "take foreign oppo information from a foreign government, if that were offered when working on a political campaign." "You know, knowing how much chaos has been sowed as a result of something like the Steele dossier, no, I would not," Hicks replied.
The Steele dossier, which contained unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia and that former intelligence officials have said may have contained Russian disinformation, was used by the FBI in its investigations and in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. It was put together by British ex-spy Christopher Steele while he was working for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was being paid by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm. In his line of questioning, Nadler focused almost exclusively on issues related to Lewandowski. Throughout the session, Lewandowski's name was mentioned 68 times. Nadler even referred to Hicks as "Ms. Lewandowski" on three separate occasions until Hicks was forced to correct him. "My name is Ms. Hicks," she said. "I'm sorry, Ms. Hicks," Nadler replied. "I'm preoccupied." It was Michael Wolff's book, Fire and Fury, claimed that Hicks was romantically linked to Lewandowski. After the deposition, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who is not a member of the committee, said his sources in the room noted how "old, pervy" Democrats pressed Hicks about her love life. Democrats asked Hicks about Trump's directive to Lewandowski, outlined in Mueller's report, to deliver a message directing Attorney General Jeff Sessions to "unrecuse" from the Russia investigation. Mueller's team, which interviewed Hicks, found that she typed up Trump's words. Hicks told the committee that she found the request "odd" but was blocked from providing much else information.

Schiff dismisses GOP concerns on Steele dossier as foreign influence as 'whataboutism'
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told the Washington Examiner it was wrong for supporters of the president to respond to Trump saying last week that "there's nothing wrong with listening" to information from a foreign government during a campaign by comparing that with the Democratic National Committee-funded Fusion GPS hiring British ex-spy Christopher Steele to compile a dossier using Kremlin sources during the presidential election.
When asked if he considers the dossier to be foreign influence in any way, Schiff said he didn't think there's "any equivalence between hiring an American opposition research firm - even one that hires a former British intelligence officer to do some of its opposition research - and having direct contact with people in the Russian government to get dirt on your opponent as part of what's described as that foreign nation's effort to help your campaign."
"That seems to me very different qualitatively and far more problematic," Schiff said, describing efforts to compare the two as "whataboutism."

FBI, warned early and often that Manafort file might be fake, used it anyway
When the final chapter of the Russia collusion caper is written, it is likely two seminal documents the FBI used to justify investigating Donald Trump's 2016 campaign will turn out to be bunk.
And the behavior of FBI agents and federal prosecutors who promoted that faulty evidence may disturb us more than we now know.
The first, the Christopher Steele dossier, has received enormous attention. And the more scrutiny it receives, the more its truthfulness wanes. Its credibility has declined so much that many now openly question how the FBI used it to support a surveillance warrant against the Trump campaign in October 2016.
At its best, the Steele dossier is an "unverified and salacious" political research memo funded by Trump's Democratic rivals. At worst, it may be Russian disinformation worthy of the "garbage" label given it by esteemed reporter Bob Woodward.
The second document, known as the "black cash ledger," remarkably has escaped the same scrutiny, even though its emergence in Ukraine in the summer of 2016 forced Paul Manafort to resign as Trump campaign chairman and eventually face U.S. indictment.
In search warrant affidavits, the FBI portrayed the ledger as one reason it resurrected a criminal case against Manafort that was dropped in 2014 and needed search warrants in 2017 for bank records to prove he worked for the Russian-backed Party of Regions in Ukraine.

Fitton: Emails Show Obama State Department's Role in Anti-Trump Coup Cabal
John Kerry, President Obama's secretary of state, seems to be having trouble staying within the legal bounds of the Logan Act, so it's not surprising that his State Department lieutenants were getting their hands dirty in the conspiracy to bring down Donald Trump.
Judicial Watch now has received more evidence of this anti-Trump conspiracy. With The Daily Caller News Foundation, they just released 16 pages of documents revealing senior State Obama officials - Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer - coordinated with incoming House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer's (D-MD) national security advisor, Daniel Silverberg, to work on Russia dossier information provided by Christopher Steele.
Steele was surreptitiously paid by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to create the infamous anti-Trump dossier used to justify a series of FISA spy warrants targeting Carter Page. Winer is a former Obama State Department deputy assistant secretary who was implicated in working with Steele and Clinton associate Sidney Blumenthal to circulate the anti-Trump dossier.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018, on behalf of ourselves and The Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv- 00968)). The lawsuit seeks:
All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand.
All records and/or memoranda provided by Christopher Steele and/or his firm Orbis Business Intelligence or by others acting on Steele's/Orbis's behalf, to State Department officials.
Any and all records in the custody of the State Department related to the provision of documents to British national Christopher Steele and/or his firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, or the receipt of documents from Steele or his firm. Time period is January 20, 2009 through the present.
All records created in 2016 by Jonathan M. Winer relating to research compiled by Christopher Steele.
Here is some of what we learned from these documents.

The author of the anti-Trump dossier, Christopher Steele, reportedly had developed long-standing relationships with senior State Department officials including Ambassador Victoria Nuland, "Between 2014 and 2016, Steele authored more than a hundred reports on Russia and Ukraine. These were written for a private client but shared widely within the State Department and sent up to Secretary of State John Kerry and to Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who was in charge of the U.S. response to the Ukraine crisis."
On February 4, 2018, in an interview on CBS' Face the Nation, Nuland stated that she had been given details of the anti-Trump dossier directly from Christopher Steele, which she then referred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation:
[Steele] passed two to four pages of short points of what he was finding. And our immediate reaction to that was, this is not in our purview. This needs to go to the FBI if there is any concern here that one candidate or the election as a whole might be influenced by the Russian Federation. That's something for the FBI to investigate. And that was our reaction when we saw this. It's not our - our - we can't evaluate this.
Nuland reportedly "green lit" the initial meeting about the anti-Trump dossier between Christopher Steele and FBI agent Michael Gaeta. Quoting from David Corn and Michael Isikoff's book Russian Roulette, "The FBI checked with Victoria Nuland's office at the State Department: Do you support this meeting? Nuland, having found Steele's reports on Ukraine to have been generally credible, gave the green light."
"We intend to find out how far the Deep State was willing to go in their effort to discredit then-candidate Donald Trump," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "It seems the Obama administration engaged in a no-holds-barred attempt to clear the path for Hillary Clinton. Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuits have already shown the Obama State Department was corruptly targeting President Trump."
Judicial Watch earlier released 42 pages of heavily redacted State Department documents containing classified information that was provided to Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD), top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and outspoken critic of President Donald Trump. The documents show Russian political interference in elections and politics in countries across Europe.
Judicial Watch also released two sets of heavily redacted State Department documents, 38 pages and 48 pages, showing classified information was disseminated to multiple U.S. Senators by the Obama administration immediately prior to President Donald Trump's inauguration. The documents reveal that among those receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN).

Hillary Clinton: Trump Makes 'Outlandish' Claims About My Campaign and Russia
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton accused President Trump of making "outlandish" claims, after he pointed out in a recent interview that her presidential campaign paid an ex-British spy to produce a dossier based on Russian sources that claimed his campaign was colluding with Russia.
During an interview with ABC News, Trump referenced Clinton's campaign paying former British spy Christopher Steele - who was previously stationed in Russia - to produce the infamous "pee dossier" that reportedly relied on Russian and other foreign sources.
Trump told anchor George Stephanopoulos:
Hillary Clinton conspired with Russia. She had somebody that came out of Russia. They got information from Russia. Excuse me. Hillary Clinton was totally involved with it. That's the one - if you talk about collusion with Russia take a look at Christopher Steele, all his contacts with Russia which by the way she paid for, and turned out to be a phony deal, which everyone is now admitting that. No George, all I want is the truth. All I want is fairness.
He later said Clinton had "much more to do with Russia than anything having to do with our campaign."
"We had nothing to do with Russia. Hillary Clinton had much more to do with Russia than anything having to do with our campaign. It said very specifically that not only that we didn't have to do, but we rebuffed them. Now anything having to do with Russia had nothing to do with our campaign," he said.
Clinton responded on Monday on Twitter.
"On the one hand, the president makes nonstop outlandish claims in his recent @ABC interview about my campaign and Russia. On the other hand: Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Rick Gates, George Papadopoulos, and the entire Mueller report," she tweeted Monday.

TY Baker!
Aren't delirious Democrats now accusing Team Obama of treason?
BY JOHN SOLOMON, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/14/19 12:15 PM EDT
If you read the newspapers, tuned into the cable TV pundits or received an email from one of the Democrats running for president, you'd swear Donald Trump was back to his treasonous ways.
All that was missing was an annoying OMG text exclamation punctuating the unfounded claims that Trump might violate the law in 2020 by accepting intelligence on a political rival from a foreign country. The inference, of course, is that it would come from a hostile power such as Russia or North Korea or Iran.
Actually, what Trump told ABC News's George Stephanopoulos was that he'd consider taking intelligence dirt about a rival from a friendly ally. (Norway was the actual example he used.)
Sound familiar? That is EXACTLY what the Obama administration did in 2016. It's something no one in the media or the political space grasped during the tsunami of breathless reaction that followed the interview.
In July 2016, the Obama administration accepted unsolicited information from Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat who just happened to have helped arrange a $25 million government donation to the Clinton Foundation years before. Downer said that he had witnessed a Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, bragging about some dirt that the Russians supposedly had on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
Though Downer's claim was reported two-plus months after the alleged event, and was only hearsay gathered at a London tavern, the Obama administration gave it to the FBI which, in turn, thought it was weighty enough to justify opening a counterintelligence case against the lawfully elected Republican nominee for president.
In other words, the Democratic administration accepted dirt from a foreign friendly and used it to justify investigating its GOP rival.
And then, OMG, they did it again just a few weeks later.
In October 2016, less than three weeks from Election Day, the Obama Justice Department approved a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on the Trump campaign through its former adviser, Carter Page. The primary evidence supporting the warrant? A dossier written by a foreign friendly named Christopher Steele, a retired MI6 intelligence agent from Great Britain. Of course, the Justice Department and the FBI forgot to tell the courts that Steele actually was working on behalf of the Clinton campaign, but that's a small detail for the purpose of this column.
For the second time in three months, the Obama administration took dirt on Trump from a foreign ally - this time, from one in Europe - and weaponized it for a criminal investigation.
No offense, but the media really are giving Trump way too much credit for the idea he floated on ABC News. The real scandal is that he's just plagiarizing a playbook already used by Obama, Clinton and those 2016 Democrats.
And every Democrat and media pundit who accuses Trump of treason for considering taking dirt from, say, Norway in 2020 has now, by extension, accused the Obama administration of committing treason in 2016.
Of course, you'd never know that from the way the media and politicians have treated it.
The whole episode reminds me of one of my earliest memories as a professional journalist.
When I first hit the presidential campaign trail as a reporter chasing the likes of Bob Dole, Jesse Jackson, George H.W. Bush and a young Al Gore across the farm fields of Middle America in 1988, I stumbled across a silver-haired man at a greasy-spoon restaurant in La Crosse, Wis. He was an old factory worker at the local brewery. A blue-collar company man who leaned Democrat….

Sean Hannity: Sources say DOJ inspector general resolved 'hang up' on first Carter Page FISA application
Fox News host Sean Hannity said the Justice Department inspector general's investigation into alleged surveillance abuses may have hit a snag examining the first Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. During his evening show on Thursday, Hannity explained how Inspector General Michael Horowitz worked around the issue, which was related to British ex-spy Christopher Steele and his dossier, and may have already submitted his report to the attorney general. "From my understanding, my sources, is inspector general Horowitz is probably likely done," Hannity said, adding, "I've had some people saying, suggesting strongly they believe that the attorney general already has the inspector general's report."
He was interviewing the Hill's John Solomon and credited memos obtained by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation and first reported by Solomon with aiding the watchdog investigation reach a breakthrough. The memos showed Steele met with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016 and admitted he was encouraged by his client to get his research out before the 2016 election, signaling a possible political motivation. The timing of the meeting is notable, as it was 10 days before the FBI used Steele's unverified dossier to obtain the original warrant to wiretap Page.
"Now there was apparently, originally a hang up on only one of the FISA applications. Surprisingly that being the first," Hannity said. "But according to my sources, your reporting about Kathleen Kavalec's confirmation and warning and admonition to the FBI prior to the first FISA application put that to bed in light of also the closed-door testimony of Bruce Ohr that everybody was warned," he added, referring to Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, who acted as an unofficial back channel between the Steele and the FBI.

Hannity's reporting follows former U.S. attorney District of Columbia Joe diGenova saying last month that Horowitz's team determined the three FISA warrant extensions against Page were illegally obtained.
Although Attorney General William Barr said he anticipated Horowitz's investigation to be complete by early June, Solomon said his own sources and Rep. Mark Meadows, have made it clear that the FISA investigation will take longer than expected to wrap up, particularly after Steele offered himself up for an interview with the inspector general. "Not a long time, a short while," Solomon said, adding that he thinks the American people will see the report sometime in the summer.

Mark Meadows: Trump got the Left to care about foreign intelligence in elections
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., said President Trump's comment about being willing to accept foreign opposition research in the 2020 presidential election was a successful way to get the Left to care about foreign intelligence being used by campaigns. In a tweet on Friday the House Freedom Caucus chairman compared the Democrats' troubled reaction to Trump's remark to their dismissal of the Steele dossier. "This week President Trump was able to do something no one else could: get the left to care about foreign intel in our elections," the North Carolina Republican said. "You'd think Democrats paying for oppo research from Russians, then funneling it to DOJ to open an investigation, would've done the trick. Guess not." This week President Trump was able to do something no one else could: get the left to care about foreign intel in our elections.
The dossier contained unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia and was used extensively in the FBI's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. It was compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, whose work for opposition research firm Fusion GPS was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Republicans say the dossier had Russian sources, and on Thursday Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called Trump's critics hypocrites, saying Democrats were more than willing to accept outside help in the last presidential election. The counterintelligence investigation began in the summer of 2016 after an Australian diplomat informed the U.S. government that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos told him the Russians had dirt on Clinton.
Trump attracted controversy this week when he said in an interview with ABC News that he would be willing to take opposition research from a foreign government and may not report it to the FBI. The president's statement drew strong rebukes from Democrats in the House and Senate. "The president once again gave us evidence that he does not know right from wrong. It's a very sad thing," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. "But the president to be so cavalier, to disregard, to be indifferent to wrong and any sense of ethics that who we are as a country to say that he would invite foreign intervention," the California Democrat added. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer described Trump's comments as "undemocratic, un-American, disgraceful."
Republicans blocked a bill put forward by Democrats this week that would require campaigns to report to the FBI opposition research offered by foreigners.

Rep. Meadows: Whistleblowers Now Coming Forward; Indictments on the Way
(CNSNews.com) - As House Democrats try to redo the Mueller investigation, Republicans are focused on the origins of that investigation – what prompted the FBI to launch a counter intelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, told Fox News Wednesday night that whistleblowers are starting to talk – and he thinks indictments are coming.
Meadows spoke on the same day the Democrat-led House intelligence committee held a hearing titled, "Lessons from the Mueller Report."
The hearing was called to "explore the significant counterintelligence threats to the U.S. democratic system posed by the numerous links and contacts between members of the Trump campaign, transition and administration, and Russia and its proxies, as documented in Volume I of Mueller's Report."
Meadows told Hannity:
We're getting a lot of whistle-blowers, primarily whistle-blowers are coming forward because they believe Attorney General Bill Barr and John Durham are willing to get to the bottom of it.
So people that perhaps were afraid under previous leadership to actually say, well, we knew this was wrong, they're coming forward now.
And when we look at intelligence, we know the intelligence community shares a lot of information. What we also know...is that the Steele dossier, Christopher Steele, his dossier – not only does it have his origins with Fusion GPS and the Democrat National Committee, but other players that are connected – Sidney Blumenthal – and they were shopping it to every media outlet that they possibly could and the FBI knew it.
That's the problem, the FBI knew it prior to that first FISA and here they are using it as credible information for a FISA application? I just think that that's totally wrong.

FEC CHAIR: GETTING INFO FROM FOREIGN ENTITIES IS ILLEGAL
Ellen L. Weintraub, the Chair of the Federal Election Commission, issued a statement Thursday evening unequivocally stating that accepting contributions either financially or otherwise from foreign nationals is illegal.
Weintraub's statement comes a day after President Donald Trump stated that he wouldn't necessarily go to the FBI in the event his campaign was contacted by foreign groups during an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos.
"Let me make something 100% clear to the American public and anyone running for public office: It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election," her statement begins. "This is not a novel concept. Electoral intervention from foreign governments has been considered unacceptable since the beginnings of our nation.
Our Founding Fathers sounds the alarm about 'foreign Interference, Intrigue, and Influence.'"
It continued, "They knew that when foreign governments seek to influence American politics, it is always to advance their own interests, not America's. Anyone who solicits or accepts foreign assistance risks being on the wrong end of a federal investigation. Any political campaign that receives an offer of a prohibited donation from a foreign source should report that offer to the Federal Bureau of Investigation."
In Stephanopoulos's interview, he asked the president if his campaign would go to the FBI in the event they are contacted by a foreign entity with dirt on an opponent.
"I think maybe you do both. I think you might want to listen. There isn't anything wrong with listening," the president answered. "If somebody called from a country -Norway - [and said,] 'We have information on your opponent' - oh, I think I'd want to hear it."
Trump justified his statement by claiming everyone does it.
The Washington Examiner's Byron York was among many who pointed out that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was involved in funding opposition research conducted by British spy Christopher Steele that relied on foreign sources.
The Senate tried passing a bill via unanimous consent on Thursday, which would force any campaign that was contacted by a foreign entity to report it to the FBI, but Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn blocked it. (WTF???)

The Clinton campaign and the Democrats, which hired Fusion GPS, who then tapped ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele to compile the document, funded the effort. Steele told the State Department that the information in his possession had a shelf life. Yeah, it was called the 2016 election. The document is all part of the Russia-Trump collusion circus that dominated the news cycle for two years, peddled by liberal media figures and politicians alike, fanned the flames of the impeachment fire, and ended up punching everyone who dabbled in this myth right in the face. The report from Special Counsel Robert Mueller debunked the document, which was mostly unverified the entire time this collusion nonsense was being disseminated on a near-daily basis. The second layer to all of this is Carter Page, the former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign.

>>6743088 (pb notable) Developments in Italy re: SpyGate
>http://www.atlanticoquotidiano.it/quotidiano/speciale-italygate-3-lamministrazione-trump-indaga-anche-sul-ruolo-di-servizi-di-intelligence-stranieri-i-cui-governi-starebbero-gia-cooperando/
But what are these "foreign actors"? As we have reconstructed in the first and second installments of our special, it is between Rome and London that the events of the two strands that gave rise to Russiagate are intertwined and, more importantly, have fueled the narrative: the encounters between the then advisor of the Trump Campaign George Papadopoulos and the Link Campus professorJoseph Mifsud, still untraceable; and the fake anti-Trump file prepared by former British agent Christopher Steele (with the help of Russian sources, among other things) on commission from a company charged by the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic Committee to find compromising material on the adversary. And it is Australian, very close to the Clintons, Alexander Downer, the diplomat who will inform the US State Department of the interview in which Papadopoulos would have revealed to him that he learned from Mifsud that the Russians were in possession of "dirt" materialon Hillary Clinton, thousands of her emails. At least officially it would be from this revelation, says the FBI, that the first counter-intelligence investigation into the Trump Campaign is opened on 31 July 2016. While the Steele dossier - which the agency practically knew immediately to be unverified, unreliable and politically motivated - will be the key element to obtain the authorization on 21 October to monitor Carter Page and, through him, the Trump team, before and after the election. In fact, today we know that the first reports of the Steele dossier reach the FBI, through an agent of the US embassy in Rome, well before the alleged revelations of Mifsud via Downer.
But there is a third case that brings us to Rome and that in the coming days could hold interesting developments. The Eyepyramid casewhich involved the brothers Giulio and Francesca Maria Occhionero.

Q Research General #8622: Q Gone Fishin' Edition
Thank you Mr. Chairman.
Here we are, more than two years since Democrats from this committee publicly claimed to have "more than circumstantial" evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russians to hack the 2016 elections, and more than two years since they read false allegations from the Steele dossier into the Congressional record at an open hearing of this committee.
After that, the American people were subjected to endless hysteria by the media, Democrats, and anonymous intelligence leakers. Seemingly every day the media triumphantly published a supposed bombshell story, often based on classified documents the reporters had not actually seen, which purportedly proved that President Trump or some Trump associate was a treacherous Russian agent. Democrats on this committee regularly joined cable news pundits in denouncing the traitors. Eventually the Democrats became convinced that the Mueller report would finally rid them of the sinister president who had the audacity to defeat Hillary Clinton.
The entire scheme has now imploded and the collusion accusation has been exposed as a hoax. One would think the Democrats would simply apologize and get back to lawmaking and oversight. But it's clear they couldn't stop this grotesque spectacle even if they wanted to. After years of false accusations and McCarthyite smears, the collusion hoax now defines the Democratic Party. The hoax is what they have in place of a governing philosophy or a constructive vision for our country.
The Democrats assembled us today to analyze the shoddy political hit piece known as the Mueller report. It's written in the same spirit, and with the same purpose, as the Steele dossier, which was once championed by Democrats on this committee, but which they rarely mentioned after it was exposed as yet another Democrat-created hoax.
Unfortunately for Democrats, the Mueller dossier, as I call it, either debunked many of their favorite conspiracy theories or did not even find them worth discussing. These include:
Mueller's finding that Michael Cohen did not travel to Prague to conspire with Russians.
No evidence that Carter Page conspired with Russians.
No mention of Paul Manafort visiting Julian Assange in London.
No mention of secret communications between a Trump Tower computer server and Russia's Alfa Bank.
And no mention of former NRA lawyer Cleta Mitchell or her supposed knowledge of a scheme to launder Russian money through the NRA for the Trump campaign. Insinuations against Mitchell originated with Fusion GPS chief Glenn Simpson and were first made public in a document published by Democrats on this committee.
The real purpose of the Mueller dossier, however, was to help Democrats impeach the president in the absence of any evidence of collusion. Thus the report includes:
A long litany of ordinary contacts between Trump associates and Russians, as if a certain number of contacts indicate a conspiracy even if no conversations actually created or even discussed a conspiracy.
Excerpts from a voicemail from Trump attorney John Dowd that the Mueller team selectively edited to make it seem threatening and nefarious.
No comment on the close relationship between Democrat operatives at Fusion GPS and multiple Russians who participated in the June 9, 2016 meeting at Trump Tower. In fact, no comment on Fusion GPS at all.
No useful information on figures who played key roles in the investigation such as Joseph Mifsud, Alexander Downer, or Christopher Steele.
No useful information about the many irregularities that marred the FBI's Russia investigation.
Furthermore, the Mueller dossier cites dozens of articles from the reporters and publications that were most responsible for perpetuating the Russia hoax. Thus Mueller produced a perfect feedback loop: intelligence leakers spin a false story to the media, the media publishes the story, Mueller cites the story, and the media and the Democrats then fake outrage at Mueller's findings.
In sum, Mueller relied on a mass of reporting whose central narrative-that the Trump campaign colluded with Russians to hack the elections-is false. And the Democrats spread a hoax claiming Trump is a Russian agent, but it was later discovered that the only people who colluded with Russians were the Democrats, who paid for the Steele dossier, which relied on Russian sources.
I'd like to remind the Democrats that this committee was created to do important oversight of our intelligence agencies. This work is even more crucial now that the media have abandoned their traditional watchdog role and instead have become the mouthpiece of a cabal of intelligence leakers. I understand the Democrats' inability to move past their failed hoax and get back to normal business. Nevertheless, I suggest they give it a try.

Italy, UK's MI-6 aid the Durham probe of Brennan, Mifsud's Trump Spygate
WASHINGTON, DC: As US Attorney John Durham launches a widespread probe into the origins of the Russia Hoax, foreign intelligence agencies implicated in the scandal are cooperating with the investigation. The government of Italy has fired the heads of two Intel agencies over the Brennan-Mifsud spying allegations.
As well as 4 of their top associates.
PM @GiuseppeConteIT has suddenly requested resignations from 6 deputy directors of Italian intelligence agencies: DIS, AISI and AISE.
Partito Democratico replies: "it's a regime", but in Rome, everybody knows its' all about SpyGate and Trump sabotage.https://t.co/6M6WrLns2S

Subject: Re: Thank you
I've reached out per our call yesterday. Please call me to talk further at your early convenience. Weekend best but can also talk Monday.
In a November 2016 exchange with the subject line "Would like to catch up on something at your convenience," Winer reaches out to Nuland for a meeting, which gets booked in the Truman building on November 28.
In an email exchange dated December 12, 2016, Winer requests a brief meeting with Nuland saying, "Something new has come up of which I want you to be aware." Nuland replies, "Ok," and adds her assistant to the exchange. Winer's assistant then emails Nuland's assistant looking for a time to meet.
In February 2018, Winer wrote an op-ed claiming anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal approached him with separate dossiers. Winer wrote: "In the summer of 2016, Steele told me that he had learned of disturbing information regarding possible ties between Donald Trump, his campaign and senior Russian officials." Also, "While talking about that hacking, Blumenthal and I discussed Steele's reports. He showed me notes gathered by a journalist I did not know ..."
"Every day of digging reveals more and more political collaboration on this hit job, and at the highest levels. While so much of the media is content to chase Russian conspiracies, The Daily Caller News Foundation and the fantastic lawyers at Judicial Watch are going to keep doing the hard work of holding power accountable," said Christopher Bedford, editor in chief of the Daily Caller News Foundation.
"These documents further confirm the Obama State Department was obviously a way station for Steele's smear dossier and other anti-Trump activism," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch recently released 43 pages of documents from the State Department revealing that its "Special Coordinator for Libya," Jonathan Winer, played a key role in facilitating Steele's access to other top government officials, prominent international business executives. Winer was even approached by a movie producer about making a movie about the Russiagate targeting of President Trump.
Judicial Watch previously released two sets of heavily redacted State Department documents showing classified information was researched and disseminated to multiple U.S. Senators by the Obama administration immediately prior to President Donald Trump's inauguration. The documents reveal that among those receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN).
Also, Judicial Watch is suing the State Department for communications between Nuland and employees of Fusion GPS, as well as top ranking Department of Justice, FBI, and State Department officials.

Q Research General #8620: Europa in Binoculars Edition
State Department Emails Show Coordination Between Obama State Department and House Democrat Leader Steny Hoyer on Christopher Steele/Russia
Part 1
Judicial Watch and the Daily Caller News Foundation today released 16 pages of documents revealing former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer coordinating with then-House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer's (D-MD) national security advisor, Daniel Silverberg to work on Russia dossier materials provided by Christopher Steele.
Steele is a former British spy and author of the anti-Trump dossier used to justify a series of FISA spy warrants targeting Carter Page. Winer is a former Obama State Department deputy assistant secretary who was implicated in working with Steele and Clinton associate Sidney Blumenthal to circulate the anti-Trump dossier.
Judicial Watch obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018 on behalf of itself and the Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv- 00968)). The lawsuit seeks:
All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele's company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand.
All records and/or memoranda provided by Christopher Steele and/or his firm Orbis Business Intelligence or by others acting on Steele's/Orbis's behalf, to State Department officials.
Any and all records in the custody of the State Department related to the provision of documents to British national Christopher Steele and/or his firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, or the receipt of documents from Steele or his firm. Time period is January 20, 2009 through the present.
All records created in 2016 by Jonathan M. Winer relating to research compiled by Christopher Steele.
In an email exchange on September 19, 2016, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS asks Winer if he is "in town?" Winer replies "For a couple of hours."
In an email exchange on September 26, 2016, Winer emails Nuland asking for "15 minutes of your time today if possible," to discuss a "Russia related issue" from his "old O [Orbis Business Intelligence] friend." Orbis was co-founded and run by Russia dossier author Christopher Steele. Nuland's assistant suggests a secure call for the discussion and Winer asks his aide to postpone a meeting he was to have with the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) to accommodate.
In an exchange beginning in November 2016, Hoyer top-aide Silverberg emails a "thank you" to Nuland, calling her a "warrior on these issues" and stating that he looks forward to pursuing "some of the things we discussed yesterday, albeit on the system integrity side." Nuland forwards this email to Winer who adds that he wants to talk about "some new info."

Top Hoyer Aide Coordinated Steele Dossier Work With Key Obama State Department Officials
By Mark Tapscott
June 12, 2019 Updated: June 12, 2019
WASHINGTON-Daniel Silverberg, then-House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer's national security adviser, coordinated "work on Russia dossier materials provided by Christopher Steele" with Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Envoy for Libya Jonathan Winer, according to newly released documents made public June 12 by Judicial Watch.
A series of emails between Sept. 26, 2016, and Dec. 10, 2016, demonstrate that Winer shared "Russia-related information" he obtained from Steele-whom he described as his "old O friend"-with Nuland, who then shared it with Silverberg.
Winer delayed a previously scheduled meeting with the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) in order to share the information with Nuland, according to Judicial Watch.
Multiple references in the emails to additional telephone calls and other contacts with unnamed or redacted parties, as well as discussion of "a possible working group meeting," suggest an active response by Silverberg to the Steele dossier information he was provided by Nuland and Winer.
Steele's firm was named Orbis Business Intelligence. He is the former British spy who created the infamous dossier bearing his name based on "salacious and unverified" information obtained from Russian intelligence sources alleging improper contacts and activities involving President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Rep. Nunes Warns FBI Witnesses: 'The Counterintelligence Department Over at the FBI is in Big Trouble'
Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) ripped the corrupt Democrats and their criminal Russia hoax on Wednesday in a blistering opening statement during a House Intel Committee hearing.
Nunes is a hero who relentlessly investigated Obama's DOJ and FBI officials who illegally spied on Donald Trump during the 2016 election.
Chairman of the House Intel Committee Adam Schiff on Wednesday dragged out two FBI witnesses who just happen to be Comey and Mueller sycophants.
The two witnesses, Robert Anderson and Stephanie Douglas, both worked under then-FBI Director Robert Mueller and Nunes did a great job on Wednesday exposing their selective outrage.
Nunes indicated there is evidence the illegal counterintelligence investigation into Trump and his associates started back in 2015, not July of 2016 as the FBI claims.
"There's been a lot of talk about when this investigation began, now that's an open-ended question because we can say this investigation coulda begun in 2015 because we know some of the same players were having run-ins with individuals that have questionable ties to either Western intelligence or possibly political campaign operatives, but officially they have said that it started at the end of July [2016]." Nunes said.
Nunes blasted the Steele-Media-Mueller loop of information, leaks and articles that ravaged the US for years and said the FBI is in big trouble.
The FBI witnesses were left speechless when Nunes asked them if it's normal to have an FBI informant (Christopher Steele) who was paid by the FBI to investigate Trump's campaign while simultaneously being paid by the Clinton campaign to investigate Trump - then went on to leak to the press.
"This counterintelligence department over at the FBI I think is in big trouble - the fact that you guys are sitting here, former FBI officials, and not saying anything and basically making the case that it is ok to use these very special powers to target a political campaign really troubles me," Nunes said warning the FBI witnesses.

State Department Official Helped Trump Dirty Dossier Christopher Steele With Business Concerns, Emails Show
State Department emails show that former State official Jonathan Winer facilitated meetings between dossier author Christopher Steele and multiple private consulting firms.
Winer served as Steele's main point of contact to the State Department, and was the official responsible for disseminating the anti-Trump dossier through Foggy Bottom.
Winer's emails were obtained through a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of The Daily Caller News Foundation.
A State Department official who played a key role in handling the Steele dossier facilitated meetings between Christopher Steele and private consulting firms, according to State Department emails obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Jonathan Winer, a longtime associate of former Secretary of State John Kerry, set up a meeting in late 2014 with an executive at APCO Worldwide, an international consulting firm where Winer worked before and after his most recent stint at the State Department.
Winer also attempted to set up a meeting in November 2014 between Steele, a former MI6 officer, and executives at McLarty Associates, a consultancy founded by Bill Clinton's first chief of staff, Mack McLarty. He also put Steele in contact with a former ambassador to Morocco and APCO partner related to a "Morocco immediate need."
Another email shows that Winer gave Steele and his business partner, Christopher Burrows, advice on how to handle a commercial dispute in Mongolia that involved the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.
The State Department released the emails as part of a lawsuit that Judicial Watch filed on behalf of The Daily Caller News Foundation. The lawsuit seeks Winer's correspondence related to Steele, as well as the 100-plus intelligence reports that Steele reportedly provided Winer on issues in Russia and Ukraine. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: State Department Official Had Contact With Fusion GPS Founder During 2016 Campaign)
Winer has previously acknowledged his role in passing information from Steele to his State Department colleagues. But the newly released emails suggest he played another role - that of facilitator for Steele's business interests.
This story keeps getting bigger and better!

New DOJ Letter Reveals Just How Massive John Durham's Spygate Investigation Really Is
A new letter from the Justice Department addressed to Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) reveals John Durham's investigation into Spygate is much larger than previously known.
AG Barr's review of the FISA abuses and surveillance against Trump's campaign is "broad in scope and multifaceted," according to the DOJ letter.
The letter to Nadler, penned by Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd, indicates Fusion GPS, foreign intelligence services and non-governmental organizations and individuals are all a target of US Attorney John Durham's investigation into the origins of Spygate.
"The Review is broad in scope and multifaceted, and is intended to illuminate open questions regarding the activities of U.S. and foreign intelligence services as well as non-governmental organizations and individuals," Boyd wrote.
Durham's investigation of the investigations involving both the 2016 presidential campaigns (plural) is so massive that the Justice Department had to clear existing office space to make room for the team of US Attorneys, other personnel and DOJ employees.
Although Boyd did not specify, it is publicly known that Australian, British and perhaps Turkish intel groups were involved in the spying campaign against Trump and his associates during the 2016 presidential election.
According to George Papadopoulos, the 'honeypot' named 'Azra Turk' who approached him and tried to seduce him to obtain information about Trump's 2016 campaign was "CIA and affiliated with Turkish intel."
The new DOJ letter also indicates that Durham may be looking into gutter oppo research firm Fusion GPS who hired former British spy Christopher Steele to compile a 35-page Russia dossier to smear Donald Trump and his associates.
Hillary Clinton paid for the Russia dossier and hid the payments to Steele by funneling the money through the DNC's law firm, Perkins Coie.
The phony dossier was then used by the FBI to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Last week it was reported that Christopher Steele was coopering with US investigators, possibly Durham.

Emails Place Dossier Author Steele a Step Closer to Clintons
WASHINTON-Former British spy Christopher Steele, author of the infamous anti-Trump dossier bearing his name, was introduced by a key State Department aide to top executives of a firm founded by President Bill Clinton's former White House Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, according to documents made public on June 10 by Judicial Watch. In multiple email threads included in the documents, Jonathan Winer, then the U.S. Department of State's special coordinator for Libya, acts repeatedly on behalf of Steele, arranging meetings for him with other current and former top U.S. officials, as well as influential consultants and strategists like those at the McLarty firm. Steele worked for the Fusion GPS opposition research firm and was paid for the "salacious and unverified" dossier indirectly by the 2016 presidential campaign of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which she then controlled through a cut-out, the Perkins Coie law firm that specializes in representing Democratic Party committees, candidates, and officials.
"These documents show that Fusion GPS and Clinton spy Christopher Steele had a close relationship with the Obama State Department," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The State Department under John Kerry is emerging as another center of the Spygate conspiracy against President [Donald] Trump."
Winer worked for former Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, Clinton's successor as secretary of state. One of the email exchanges released by Judicial Watch on June 10 suggests that Steele, under Kerry and through Winer, may have had Clinton connections independent of Fusion GPS. In a Nov. 20, 2014, message using the U.S. Department of State email system, for example, Winer forwarded to Steele his exchange earlier that day with Nelson Cunningham, president of McLarty Associates, regarding a meeting with Steele. The message was included in 43 pages of documents obtained by the nonprofit government watchdog in litigation that resulted from the State Department's failure to respond to three Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.
McLarty Associates, an international political and diplomatic strategic consulting firm, was co-founded in 1998 by Cunningham and the former White House chief of staff. McLarty was a childhood friend in Hope, Arkansas, of Bill Clinton and served in senior positions throughout Clinton's two terms as president. He remains a close associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton. In addition to co-founding the McLarty firm, Cunningham is a long-time Kerry associate, having worked in his 1984 Senate campaign and his 2004 presidential race. Cunningham also served as general counsel to the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee under former Vice President Joe Biden, then a Democratic U.S. senator representing Delaware. McLarty Associates claims 300 clients, including 20 Fortune 200 corporations, and works in 112 countries around the world, including Russia.
In the exchange, Cunningham told Winer that he was "happy to meet Chris, but tomorrow does not work for me or Rick Burt, unfortunately. Can you please connect us?" Burt is McLarty Associates' managing partner for Europe and Eurasia clients. A former New York Times reporter, Burt was previously chief U.S. negotiator on the Strategic Arms Reduction Talks (START) with the former Soviet Union.
Winer is also found in a Nov. 11, 2014, email exchange setting up a meeting on behalf of Steele with Jones to discuss "three Orbis reports." In other emails included among the 43 pages, Winer is found in a Dec. 11, 2014, message pressuring a State Department colleague to "get O Reports" to then-Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland and to European and Eurasian Deputy Assistant Secretary Paul Jones. The "Orbis reports" and "O Reports" mentioned are references to documents produced by Steele's London-based Orbis Business Intelligence firm, according to Judicial Watch.

??DOJ investigating 'non-governmental organizations and individuals' as part of 'broad' probe into surveillance abuses??
As part of its ongoing "multifaceted" and "broad" review into potential misconduct by U.S. intelligence agencies during the 2016 presidential campaign, the Justice Department revealed Monday it is also investigating the activities of several "non-governmental organizations and individuals."
Additionally, the DOJ announced that the probe, let by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, was looking into the involvement of "foreign intelligence services." Former Trump aide George Papadopoulos told Fox News last month that an informant who was likely "CIA and affiliated with Turkish intel" had posed as a Cambridge University research assistant in September 2016 and tried to "seduce him" to obtain information linking the Trump team to Russia.
The information was contained in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who had inquired as to the scope of Durham's investigation. The letter could indicate that the DOJ is looking closely at work done during the campaign by Fusion GPS, the firm retained by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC) to conduct opposition research against the Trump campaign.
Fusion GPS, in turn, hired British ex-spy Christopher Steele to produce an unverified and largely discredited dossier that the FBI went on to cite in secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court applications to surveil former Trump aide Carter Page….cont.

DOJ Review Of Trump Surveillance Is 'Broad In Scope and Multifaceted'
DOJ's review of surveillance against the Trump campaign is "multifaceted" and "broad in scope," an official told Congress on Monday.
In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, DOJ official Stephen Boyd provided new details about the review of Trump surveillance.
Attorney General William Barr has said he is concerned by the "spying" carried out against Trump associates.
Attorney General William Barr's review of surveillance against the Trump campaign is "broad in scope and multifaceted," a Justice Department official told Congress on Monday.
In a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, Justice Department official Stephen E. Boyd provided a summary of Barr's review. Nadler, a New York Democrat, had asked for details of the investigation, which is being led by John Durham, the U.S. attorney in Connecticut.
"It is now well established that, in 2016, the U.S. government and others undertook certain intelligence-gathering and investigative steps directed at persons associated with the Trump Campaign," Boyd wrote Nadler, adding that "there remain open questions relating to the origins of this counter-intelligence investigation and the U.S. and foreign intelligence activities that took place prior to and during that investigation."
"The Review is broad in scope and multifaceted, and is intended to illuminate open questions regarding the activities of U.S. and foreign intelligence services as well as non-governmental organizations and individuals," Boyd wrote.
He did not explain the references to foreign intelligence services or non-governmental organizations. It is known that the Australian and British governments were involved in some degree to the counterintelligence activities against Trump associates. Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, a former British spy, investigated President Donald Trump and his campaign associates on behalf of the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee.

Newly Released Emails Show Dossier Author Christopher Steele's Close Relationship With Obama State Department
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained 43 pages of State Department emails revealing dossier author Christopher Steele's close relationship with Obama's State Department.
Obama's State Department "Special Coordinator for Libya" Jonathan Winer played a key role in facilitating Christopher Steele's access to other top government officials, Judicial Watch reported.
John Kerry's State Department was heavily involved in Spygate and these emails prove that.
Via Judicial Watch:
In an email on December 11, 2014, Winer places pressure on his colleague, Nina Miller to assist Steele by getting "O Reports" [likely Orbis] to Toria [Victoria] Nuland and Paul Jones ASAP." Nuland at the time was the State Department Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs; Jones the European and Eurasian Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary.
From: Winer, Jonathan
Sent: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:41:32 +0000
To: Miller, Nina A
Subject: Please get "O Reports" to Toria Nuland and Paul Jones ASAP - they are time [sp]
I know you have other burdens, but this one needs to get done if you can as soon as possible.
In a series of emails on November 20, 2014, Winer openly acts as a liaison for Steele, attempting to set up meetings for "Chris" and referencing "Three Orbis Reports" in the subject line of the email. This meeting was scheduled to be with Marialuisa Fotheringham, office manager to the principal deputy assistant secretary of state in the Bureau of European and Eurasian affairs and, again, Paul W. Jones.
In a series of emails on November 20, 2014, Winer negotiates a time with Ariuna Namsrai, APCO Worldwide's senior director and managing director for Russia, CIS and Central Asia for her to meet Christopher Steele at "lunch or dinner." APCO bills itself as one of the world's leading advisory and advocacy communications consultancies.
In a series of emails on January 13-14, 2015, with the subject line "Morocco immediate need," Winer introduces Steele to Marc Ginsberg, former Ambassador to Morocco under Bill Clinton, former APCO Worldwide Senior Vice President and Managing Director and former CEO of One Voice Movement Foundation.
"It's amazing how hard our government tries to keep the truth from the American people," said Daily Caller News Foundation President Neil Patel. "Thankfully, with Judicial Watch filing a lawsuit on our behalf, we have been able to uncover phony dossier author Christopher Steele's previously hidden contacts with the Obama State Department. These guys at Judicial Watch are bulldogs and we can't thank them enough."
"These documents show that Fusion GPS and Clinton spy Christopher Steele had a close relationship with the Obama State Department," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "The State Department under John Kerry is emerging as another center of the Spygate conspiracy against President Trump."

Carter Page Says He Was a Source For the CIA For Decades Before He Became a Subject of Federal Investigation
Former Trump 2016 campaign advisor Carter Page sat down for an exclusive interview on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo.
Carter Page says he was a source for many US government agencies including the CIA, FBI and State Department before they spun it around on him and made him the subject of surveillance and a federal investigation.
Yet another Mueller report omission!
Carter Page also said he was helping the government for free.
"Oh, by the way, doing it for free," Carter Page said slamming the FBI for making 11 payments to dossier author Christopher Steele during the 2016 election.
"I was asked various questions, not only by State, FBI, etc, but also CIA," Carter Page said. "I had a long-standing relationship with the CIA going back decades essentially, and I was always very transparent and open."
"Unfortunately, it was completely spun that as you're correctly alluding to in this fake Mueller report, they just refer to this as oh, he's, you know, colluding, if you will, with these Russian intelligence officers," he said. "I mean, I'm acting as a source, completely helping our government."
And the Mueller report conveniently left this important piece of information OUT.
The FBI obtained FOUR FISA warrants on Carter Page even though he was a source for the FBI and CIA for DECADES.
According to the FISA docs, the FBI made it sound like Carter Page was a traitor who was working on behalf of the Russian government - when in fact he was working as a source for the US government.
The first FISA warrant on Page was granted in October of 2016 and the fourth and final FISA warrant on Page, which was signed by Rod Rosenstein and Andrew McCabe, was granted in June of 2017.
The FBI used the FISA court to spy on Carter Page for nearly a year yet he was never even charged with a crime. What evidence on Carter Page was the FBI presenting to the FISA judges?

Meadows predicts DOJ inspector general FISA abuse report will be late due to new developments
A top Republican on the House Oversight Committee predicted on Sunday that the highly anticipated Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse report from the Justice Department's inspector general will be released later than expected due to new developments. Rep. Mark Meadows told "Sunday Morning Futures" host Maria Bartiromo that he is "not as optimistic now" after Attorney General William Barr said he anticipated Inspector General Michael Horowitz's investigation to be complete by early June.
Horowitz and his team have been investigating alleged FISA abuse by the Justice Department and the FBI since March 2018. The inquiry includes a focus on the FBI's handling of the unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele and its extensive use in the FBI's FISA applications and renewals to target former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Barr said in April that Horowitz would be wrapped up "in probably May or June" but an end-of-the-month deadline looks increasingly unlikely. "Only Michael Horowitz knows the exact time frame of when it's coming out. Obviously the attorney general indicated that he hoped to see it in June. I'm not as optimistic now," Meadows said on Sunday. "One of the reasons for that is additional information has been given to the inspector general for them to investigate."
One significant piece of new potential information could be Steele's interest in being interviewed by Horowitz's team. Steele has conditions for an interview, including that the inspector general's team needs to come to London, where he lives and runs his private investigative firm Orbis Business Intelligence, they can only focus on his relationship with the FBI, for whom he was a confidential source, and the U.S. has to get permission from the U.K. government first. As recently as April it was reported that Steele declined to meet with Horowitz's team due to concerns about being undermined. Although he has apparently come around to speaking with Horowitz, Steele still appears dead set against meeting with officials connected to Barr's own investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, led by U.S. Attorney John Durham.
Steele was hired by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was itself being paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm. The fact that the dossier had Democratic funding was not revealed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Meadows stressed that his prediction about Horowitz's inquiry was just his own opinion based on the reports he has seen. "I can tell you Inspector Horowitz obviously hasn't communicated that to my knowledge to anybody on Capitol Hill," the North Carolina congressman said. "But based on what I'm seeing in terms of additional information being shared with him I think it'll be a while."

NC Rep. Mark Meadows: FBI Knew 'Within 60 Days' That Russia Probe Was 'Built On A Foundation Of Sand'
North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows said Friday night that the FBI knew within 60 days of opening the Trump-Russia probe that the investigation was "built on a foundation of sand."
"Within 60 days of them opening the investigation, prior to [Robert] Mueller coming on, the FBI and the [Department of Justice] knew that Christopher Steele was not credible, the dossier was not true, George Papadopoulos was innocent," Meadows said on Fox News's "Hannity."
"When you look at that foundation, it's all built on a foundation of sand. That's going to start to show up soon," the Republican said.
Meadows, a close ally of President Donald Trump, did not say why he believes the FBI knew within two months that the investigation was on shaky ground.
The bureau opened its investigation of the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016, after receiving a tip about Papadopoulos from the Australian government. Within those two months, the FBI team leading the investigation received information from Steele's dossier. The FBI also dispatched a longtime FBI informant, Stefan Halper, to meet with Papadopoulos.
The pair met in London in mid-September 2016 after Halper offered Papadopoulos $3,000 to write a policy paper. Halper, a former Cambridge professor, was accompanied by a woman he claimed was his assistant, Azra Turk. She is reportedly a government investigator.
Meadows in the past has suggested the FBI had exculpatory information on Papadopoulos that showed the Trump aide was not working with Russia.
The Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General is investigating the FBI's handling of information provided by Steele, a former British spy who investigated Trump on behalf of the Clinton campaign and Russian government.
The bureau relied on Steele's dossier to obtain surveillance warrants against Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser. The first warrant was granted on Oct. 21, 2016, nearly three months after the Trump-Russia probe was opened.
Meadows says the FBI knew that Steele's dossier was not credible early on in its relationship with the former spy. His dossier has been all but debunked by the special counsel's report, which said that prosecutors could not establish that the Trump campaign conspired with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election.
The dossier claimed that there was a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation" between the Trump team and Kremlin. The dossier also said that former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen visited Prague in August 2016 as part of the conspiracy. Cohen has maintained even as he was cooperating with the special counsel that the dossier's claims about him are false. The special counsel's report also said that Cohen did not visit Prague.

Meadows also suggested that the FBI had exculpatory information on Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who was fed the rumor that Russia had negative information on Hillary Clinton, and later bilked for said information by a Clinton-linked Australian diplomat. Papadopoulos would later be subject to a spying operation in which the FBI sent in two operatives to trick the Trump adviser in a failed business / honeypot operation.

The Justice Department official who was demoted for serving as the conduit between the FBI and ex-British spy Christopher Steele received nearly $43,000 in taxpayer-funded performance bonuses during the early stages of the Russia investigation, according to documents released Friday.
The official, Bruce Ohr, also received a $2,600 salary increase after his demotion, the records revealed.
Government watchdog group Judicial Watch released the employment documents that it obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request.
"These documents will raise questions as to whether the conflicted Bruce Ohr, who the FBI used to launder information from Christopher Steele was rewarded for his role in the illicit targeting of President Trump," said Tom Fitton, Judicial Watch president.
According to the documents, Mr. Ohr was awarded a $14,250 bonus in November 2015, which doubled to $28,000 in November 2016. Less than a year later, he was removed from his position as associate attorney general and later transferred again.
At the time of his demotion, Mr. Ohr was the fourth-ranking official at the Justice Department. His wife, Nellie Ohr, worked for Fusion GPS, the opposition-research firm tapped by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign. Fusion GPS hired Mr. Steele to author the salacious and unverified dossier that helped spark the Russia investigation.
Mr. Ohr remains an active Justice Department employee, a move that has been questioned by Mr. Trump and his allies.
"How the hell is Bruce Ohr still employed at the Justice Department? Disgraceful! Witch Hunt!" Mr. Trump tweeted last year.

John Durham escalates review of Russia investigation origins
The investigation into the investigators is heating up. U.S. Attorney John Durham of Connecticut has met repeatedly with Attorney General William Barr since he was tasked last month with leading a review of the origins of the Russia investigation and the Justice Department's and FBI's conduct. Sources tell Fox News that Durham is "very dialed in" and "asking all the right questions."
One major focus of his review is potential Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse, which is the subject of a separate investigation by DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz and is expected to conclude soon. British ex-spy Christopher Steele, whose unverified dossier was used in FISA applications to justify surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, has expressed a willingness to meet with Horowitz, but not with Durham. During the 2016 election, Steele was working for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which received funding through the Perkins Coie law firm from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Steele's Democratic benefactors were not revealed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Should Durham find criminal activity during the course of his investigation, sources said he would take charge of any prosecutions. Durham, a Trump nominee who hails from Connecticut, has a reputation as a dogged and unbiased investigator handling difficult and controversial cases, including the prosecution of mobsters.
Barr's examination of the early stages of the counterintelligence investigation into Trump's campaign has been cheered by Republicans and criticized by Democrats. After President Trump granted Barr sweeping powers to declassify secret information, House Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff panned the effort as a scheme to discredit special counsel Robert Mueller. Trump's order, which also instructed several agencies to cooperate with Barr, "represents a disturbing effort" to politicize intelligence and "raises grave concerns about inappropriate and misleading disclosures of classified information," the California Democrat wrote in letters to U.S. intelligence leaders. In a recent interview with CBS News, Barr said he chose Durham because he wanted "someone who is tenacious, who is used to looking at sensitive material involving government activities, who has a reputation for being fair and evenhanded."
He also revealed that U.S Attorney John Huber, who had been assigned by Barr's predecessor Jeff Sessions to look into issues related to FISA applications and the electronic surveillance, had "stood back" while Horowitz carried out his review. Sessions also asked Huber in 2017 to look into issues related to the sale of Uranium One and allegations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been improperly involved in the process, as well as broader claims of corruption at the Clinton Foundation. Barr suggested Huber might soon reveal findings from that inquiry. "The other issues [Huber has] been working on relate to Hillary Clinton" are "winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition," Barr said.

DOJ Documents Show Bruce Ohr Was Given a $28,000 Bonus During Russiagate Investigation - Plus a Raise AFTER His Demotion
Judicial Watch strikes again!
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained DOJ documents showing former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr received a larger bonus during the Russiagate investigation than he did the previous year - and even got a raise after he was demoted.
The DOJ documents reveal Bruce Ohr received a $28,000 bonus in November of 2016, shortly after the first FISA warrant was granted on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page - this was at the height of Russiagate.
Was Bruce Ohr rewarded for his role in Russiagate?
Mr. Ohr then received a $2,600 pay increase after he was demoted and reassigned from his position!
Via Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch today released documents from the U.S. Department of Justice in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request showing the removal of Bruce Ohr from the position of Associate Attorney General in 2017; his transfer from Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force to International Affairs in 2018; and that Ohr received a total of $42,520 in performance bonuses during the Trump/Russia investigation. Ohr's bonus nearly doubled from $14,520 (received in November 2015) to $28,000 in November 2016.
The released documents were Notification of Personnel Action (SF-50) and Request for Personnel Action (SF-52) forms that were FOIA requested by Judicial Watch in January 2018.
The documents show that on November 13, 2016, Ohr was given a performance award of $28,000. This was during the time of his deep involvement in the highly controversial Justice Department surveillance of the Trump presidential campaign. The bonus was nearly double the $14,250 performance award he was given on November 29, 2015.
Bruce Ohr was married to Nellie Ohr of Fusion GPS and was removed because of his conflict of interest and role as conduit for Fusion GPS material. The documents show that Ohr was removed from his position as Associate Deputy Attorney General on December 6, 2017. On January 7, 2018, Ohr was reassigned from his position of director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) and shifted to Counselor for International Affairs in the Department of Justice Criminal Division. Ohr received a $2,600 pay increase.
Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie Ohr, who was contracted by oppo research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, worked together to promote the phony, Hillary-funded dossier during the 2016 election.
Bruce Ohr acted as a backchannel for dossier author Christopher Steele after the FBI terminated their relationship with Steele in November of 2016 as a CHS [Confidential Human Source].

Fuck this is bullshit
Baker's admission is another sign that despite what Attorney General William Barr said earlier this year, Inspector General Michael Horowitz's investigation may not be completed by early June.
A focus of Horowitz's investigation is the FBI's use of an unverified dossier on President Trump's ties to Russia, written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, to obtain warrants to surveil onetime Trump campaign official Carter Page.
Although Fox News host Sean Hannity said this week that sources were telling him Barr may already have a copy of the inspector general's report on the FISA abuse investigation, a British newspaper reported Horowitz may soon be interviewing Steele, casting into further uncertainty the status of the inquiry.
Baker took a lead role in reviewing those FISA applications before submitting them to the FISA court. He has said he took the information "seriously" but "not necessarily literally," and also that he is "nervous" about Horowitz.
Baker told CNN he is also open to helping Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham with their review of the origins of the Russia investigation. He stressed that it was a "small group" who led the FBI's counterintelligence inquiry into Trump's campaign, namely former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.
Baker was appointed FBI general counsel in January 2014 and reassigned by FBI Director Christopher Wray in December 2017. Last year, it was reported that Baker was resigning, and since has written for the Lawfare blog and joined the conservative think tank R Street Institute.

Durham investigation: President Trump can't be indicted but Obama can be
Excerpts from article written by L.J. Keith:
***
WASHINGTON, DC: As British spy Christopher Steele finally agrees to be interviewed by US Attorney John Durham, the sordid truth about the Obama Clinton Russia Hoax begins to unravel. It is only a matter of time before the long-running campaign of illegal spying on Americans and the criminal use of NSA surveillance programs is revealed.
And laid at the feet of the Obama White House and Barack Obama himself.
***
The United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, Durham has been on the case since at least October 2018. His first actions being conducting a criminal leak investigation of DOJ official James Baker.
***
Crimes were committed at the highest levels of the government that could only have occurred with the knowledge and participation of the occupant of the Oval Office.
***
At the nexus of the whole affair is President Obama. It simply could not have happened without his knowledge and consent, if not his instructions. It is obvious that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did conspire with the CIA Director John Brennan, the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and the head of the FBI James Comey.
Together they set forth to frame Donald Trump with Kremlin disinformation in the form of the Steele dossier. Weaponizing the CIA, DNI, DOJ, and FBI to fraudulently launch a counterespionage investigation. Abusing the FISA court in the process. Their tools included leaking classified documents. Targeting the incoming President with the phony Steele dossier.
***
The FISA court rules Obama spied on Americans illegally
According to a ruling of the FISA Court presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer, The White House had been using NSA surveillance systems, including PRISM, to spy on American citizens illegally since at least 2012.
The ruling named James Comey as having granted illegal access to NSA systems under FISA 702 authority to three contractors working for John Brennan and James Clapper. Judge Collyer ruled that of 40000 queries submitted to the NSA system since 2012, 85% or over 32,000 were illegal and noncompliant.
***
Not to mention that the Mueller report is discredited starting on page one. Mueller falsely identifies Joseph Misfud as a Russian agent. Mueller knows Misfud is an American asset.
Furthermore, Mueller defames former White House lawyer John Dowd by redacting exculpatory comments. Selectively editing Michael Flynn wiretap transcripts to change their meaning to implicate instead of exonerating.
Mueller may be making himself a target of Durham's investigation.
***
John Durham has already empaneled a grand jury. The three masked contractors who Comey granted illegal NSA access to will most likely be spilling their guts to implicate those above them. Thereby avoiding long prison terms. It seems clear that Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr are already cooperating with Durham.
Christopher Steele at first refused to testify and now has reached a deal to talk to Durham's investigators. You can bet that he will have a lot to talk about.
***
In the White House, the targets are clearly Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Ben Rhodes, and Susan Rice, and Samantha Powers at the UN. John Kerry and Loretta Lynch are additional targets of Attorney John Durham's investigations. Sally Yates, James Baker, Andrew McCabe, and Peter Strzok better lawyer up.
***
Hillary Clinton's role in the Coup, as well as ongoing questions about the Clinton Foundation, Uranium One, pay for play at the State Department, 33,000 deleted emails, and the smashing of devices under subpoena revive her imminent future as a criminal defendant.
Indictments are almost certainly coming for the whole lot of them.
***
When the indictments begin to come down and Obama's role in the spying and attempted coup d'etat is made explicitly clear, even he will not be able to escape accountability.
After the long national nightmare of years of illegal NSA spying and an attempted coup by a corrupt Obama administration, we must have confidence that the rule of law will be restored. Nonetheless, John Durham and William Barr will see that justice is done. Wherever it leads. Even if that is the indictment of former President Obama.

Evidence has been unearthed that suggests the Steele dossier was produced by the Clintons and then fed to Christopher Steele and then eventually to the FBI via John Kerry's State Department.
Former Clinton friend and advisor, Dick Morris suggested in February 2018 that the Steele dossier might have been made up by the Clintons and that Steele was only used to provide it some credibility:

Storm is coming,
A white squall for the ship of the deep state. Flynn as DDI and Admiral Rodgers as DNSA were in government when the "slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin" strategy was being rolled out. Rogers warned Trump that his Trump Tower transition offices were bugged. Flynn was part of the transition.
There have been many times when President Trump, a forceful executive, has appeared weak, tweeting futile complaints about Sessions and other people working in his administration and therefore who he could fire if he didn't like what they were doing. Remember "You're fired?" I could never believe that he would show himself as such a weak executive, unless he was playing the wounded dove stratagem, drawing his enemies into a trap. He's always such a happy warrior, the "curse you, Sessions," messages always seemed implausible
I remember when Flynn pleaded guilty around 12/1/17, immediately thereafter the Stzrok-Page texts were first made public, Judge Ramirez (Strzok's buddy) was recused from the case, and Judge Sullivan ordered exculpatory evidence be turned over. That all appeared part of some sort of plan. But then we waited.
So, to summarize, as the President meets the Queen and makes the DDay speech:
Flynn hires new counsel
Barr mocks the counter-intel effort - "dangle a CI in front of a peripheral campaign member," when they claim legitimate concerns over whether the Russians were coming, says the stories don't add up.
New investigation into Jeffrey Epstein on new federal charges - Mann Act
Huber's inquiries into HRC matters reported by Barr to near "fruition"

"…Members of Italian intelligence were approached by Hillary Clinton, the Obama Administration, and the Deep State in order to frame Trump by PLANTING EVIDENCE on American servers to force Trump to step down from office.
In other words, members of Italian intelligence found a target in Occhionero, a Republican-sympathizer who had two servers for his company, Westland Securities, located in America. One was in Washington State, and the other in West Virginia.
The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.
The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...
And then force Trump to resign.
Occhionero believes that Obama and the former leader of Italy, Matteo Renzi, worked together on this plan and he provides reports of their meetings in Italy before the 2016 election and in early 2017."

Q Research General #8553: POTUS on Laura Ingraham's Show 10pm EST Edition
It remains possible that a storm is coming,
A white squall for the ship of the deep state. Flynn as DDI and Admiral Rodgers as DNSA were in government when the "slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin" strategy was being rolled out. Rogers warned Trump that his Trump Tower transition offices were bugged. Flynn was part of the transition.
There have been many times when President Trump, a forceful executive, has appeared weak, tweeting futile complaints about Sessions and other people working in his administration and therefore who he could fire if he didn't like what they were doing. Remember "You're fired?" I could never believe that he would show himself as such a weak executive, unless he was playing the wounded dove stratagem, drawing his enemies into a trap. He's always such a happy warrior, the "curse you, Sessions," messages always seemed implausible
I remember when Flynn pleaded guilty around 12/1/17, immediately thereafter the Stzrok-Page texts were first made public, Judge Ramirez (Strzok's buddy) was recused from the case, and Judge Sullivan ordered exculpatory evidence be turned over. That all appeared part of some sort of plan. But then we waited.
So, to summarize, as the President meets the Queen and makes the DDay speech:
Flynn hires new counsel
Barr mocks the counter-intel effort - "dangle a CI in front of a peripheral campaign member," when they claim legitimate concerns over whether the Russians were coming, says the stories don't add up.
New investigation into Jeffrey Epstein on new federal charges - Mann Act
Huber's inquiries into HRC matters reported by Barr to near "fruition"

Further: Politico article
https://www.politico.com/story/2019/06/05/senate-intelligence-committee-british-security-consultant-1353675
WALTER SORIANO
Call for dig!
Senate investigators have added yet another name to the constantly evolving cast of characters in the Russia investigation.
On April 5, just 2 weeks after Special Counsel Robert Mueller submitted his final report on Russia's election interference, the Senate Intelligence Committee sent a letter to a British security consultant named Walter Soriano asking for a voluntary, closed-door interview and documents with various Russia probe figures dating back to June 2015.
The letter, obtained by Politico, offers yet another window into the panel's secretive - but largely bipartisan - two-year-old investigation, and reveals the investigators' interest in what, if any, role Israel may have played in attempts to manipulate the 2016 election.
The panel's interest in Soriano is not a mere fishing expedition, according to a source familiar with the investigators' internal deliberations who requested anonymity to discuss them freely.
"They're surprised by how connected he seems to several people of interest," this person said, including the Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska - a former business associate of Trump's campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who offered Deripaska private briefings about the campaign in 2016. Deripaska is believed to have worked with Soriano on corporate intelligence matters, this person said.
On April 5, the committee sent a bipartisan request to Soriano at the London address for his security firm, USG Security Limited. The letter asked for "all communications or records of communications" with some characters who have by now become household names, like Manafort and Trump's former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The committee also requested Soriano's communications with three Israeli private intelligence firms: Psy Group, Wikistrat, and Black Cube, as well as any communications he may have had with Orbis Business Intelligence, a firm co-founded by the former British spy Christopher Steele.
A committee spokeswoman declined to comment. A lawyer for Soriano did not return a request for comment. It's not clear whether, or how, Soriano responded to the committee's letter.
Soriano is virtually a ghost online, aside from publicly available corporate records listing him as the director of a London-based security firm called USG Security. He has been accused in the Israeli press of spying on police officers involved in the corruption probe of Israeli prime minister Bibi Netanyahu-an allegation he's staunchly denied. Soriano also produced a documentary about Netanyahu's late brother, Yoni Netanyahu, who died in Uganda years ago.
It isn't clear why the Senate committee believes Soriano may have a connection to the private Israeli firms - one of which, Psy Group, was enlisted by Trump's deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates in 2016 to use social media manipulation to help Trump beat his Republican primary opponents and Hillary Clinton. Psy Group's founder Joel Zamel also owns WikiStrat, which reportedly gamed out how to successfully interfere in an election as early as 2015. Black Cube is one of Zamel's main rivals, according to the Wall Street Journal. Steele has worked with Deripaska in the past, but a source close to Orbis told POLITICO that they'd never heard of Soriano.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has been investigating Russia's election interference and a potential conspiracy between Trump's campaign and Moscow for more than 2 years. It's not clear when the probe will end, but one Democratic Senate Intelligence Committee aide said in February that the investigation was "closer to the end than to the beginning."

Anons, I just watched the CNN clip (below) of Wolf Blitzer, his panel and former FBI Mudd with their hair collectively on fire about Christopher Steele agreeing to meet with the DoJ in the coming weeks to answer questions about his Dossier.
For the life of me, I cannot understand their angle with this piece. It's almost as if they all acted as if it was an internal rant about the Rat Steele spilling the truth about the entire Russian collusion hoax and that they were completely unaware that their consternation was being broadcast for the World to see.
To a person, they were all concerned that Steele was just going to further undermine (if possible) the credibility of the report and makes them all look like fools for pushing this hoax so hard for so long. There is not even the pretense of objectivity here, just an on air scrambling for the last chair before the music stops. They are solely concerned about questioning his motives and appear to not have realized that Steele cut an immunity deal with the DoJ. Perhaps they are displaying a growing anxiety that not only will CNN's own credibility (what''s left of it) plummet but that some of them may also eventually be named as co-conspirators for push this hoax knowing it was false and only created to undermine @POTUS.
It truly is hilarious to watch this group of Mockingbird puppets lose their cool with one even suggesting that Steele "should go anywhere, even Disneyland, rather than to the DoJ. Please link and take a watch as this anon has yet to learn how to post a video clip (any help would be appreciated):

Christopher Steele will talk to John Durham and prove FBI lied to Congress, Joe DiGenova says
Trump dossier author Christopher Steele will likely be interviewed by U.S. Attorney John Durham and will show the FBI lied to Congress, attorney Joe diGenova said on Tuesday. A Sunday Times report said the British ex-spy agreed to talk with U.S. officials, if certain preconditions were met, and strongly suggested it was a deal with Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is conducting an investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses.
But diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, insisted that Durham, not Horowitz, would be the one to talk to Steele. "He's [Steele] obviously made a strategic decision because he's going to be interviewed by John Durham," diGenova said on Fox News. "It's not the inspector general from the Department of Justice who's going to talk to him because he doesn't have any reason to talk to Mr. Horowitz. He's going to talk to John Durham and his people. So there's obviously some sort of deal that has been worked out. This is great news." Durham, a U.S. attorney from Connecticut, has been tasked by Attorney General William Barr to review the origins of the FBI's Russia investigation. The report from British media said Steele is only willing to talk about his relationship with the FBI, for whom he was a confidential source, and wants the United States to get permission from the United Kingdom government first. The report came out as President Trump was in the country for a state visit.
Despite his certainty that Durham struck the agreement with Steele, diGenova said, "I can't believe that Durham would agree to such limitations." "But this is what's important," diGenova continued. "He has to tell the truth to Durham because even though his testimony will be given overseas, he can be indicted in the United States if he lies to Durham. So I assume he's going to tell the truth because this is the big, this is the big casino now. And what he is going to prove is that the FBI lied in the FISA warrants and they lied to Congress and they lie to everybody about what they knew about Steele's behavior. … The walls are beginning to close in on the FBI fraudsters."
Steele's dossier, which was packed with unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia, formed a key part of the FBI's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications that were used to justify surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page - a key point of concern among GOP investigators. Steele was working for Fusion GPS, which received funding through the Perkins Coie law firm from the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Steele's Democratic benefactors were not revealed to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Former FBI top officials have defended their conduct, despite admitting there were unreliable claims in the anti-Trump research, and Steele himself has acknowledged having questionable sources.
DiGenova said Durham wants to talk to Steele because of "a criminal conspiracy" led by senior FBI officials. DiGenova served as an independent counsel in the 1990s for a case on former President Bill Clinton's passport before he was elected. Last year, it was announced diGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing were joining Trump's legal team for the federal Russia investigation, but that plan was nixed within days. He was highly critical of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, claiming that Trump had been "framed" by the Justice Department and the FBI, and recently said Horowitz determined that the three Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act extensions against Page were illegally obtained and was on the brink of finding the first Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was completely illegal.

Looks like Christopher Steele has cut a deal and will turn state's evidence on Russia Hoax prosecutions
I don't think it is a coincidence that just as President Trump is in the U.K., we suddenly learn that "dossier" author Christopher Steele has agreed to be questioned by U.S. authorities. Chuck Ross of The Daily Caller reports:
Former British spy Christopher Steele has agreed to meet in London with U.S. officials regarding the dossier, The Times of London is reporting.
A source close to Steele told the newspaper he plans to meet with American authorities within the next several weeks, but only about his interactions with the FBI and only with the approval of the British government.
Steele's decision is an apparent about-face from his reported refusal to meet with U.S. investigators regarding his infamous report.
Reuters reported in May that Steele was unwilling to meet with a federal prosecutor who Attorney General William Barr tapped to lead an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. And Politico reported on April 17 that Steele was refusing to meet with the Justice Department's office of the inspector general, which is looking into the FBI's use of the dossier to obtain surveillance warrants against Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser.

California And Nevada Have Been Hit By 240 Earthquakes Over The Last 24 Hours
As reported earlier Former British spy and author of the 35-page, Hillary-funded junk Russia dossier Christopher Steele, has agreed to be questioned by US investigators, reported Fox News.
Last week it was reported that Christopher Steele, who was paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC to compile a 35-page dossier smearing Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election is refusing to cooperate with US Attorney John Durham in his investigation into the origins of Spygate.
Attorney General Bill Barr and US Attorney John Durham are currently conducting an inter-agency investigation into the origins of Spygate.
Hillary Clinton hid her payments to Steele by paying him through Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the DNC during the 2016 presidential election.
Steele worked as a CHS [Confidential Human Source] for the FBI while simultaneously working for oppo research firm Fusion GPS to compile a 35-page dossier full of lies against Donald Trump, using his "Russian" intel sources.
Even though the FBI terminated Christopher Steele, he continued to feed the US government information through DOJ official Bruce Ohr who was acting as a backchannel to the FBI.
The FBI ultimately used the phony, Hillary-funded salacious dossier to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page in order to spy on Trump during the 2016 election.
The main reason why Steele was willing to cooperate with the IG is because Horowitz has no teeth - he cannot impanel a grand jury - he can only criminally refer people to the DOJ.
In contrast, Durham's investigation spans across multiple intel agencies and he has the power to convene a grand jury.
Now this...
On Tuesday night former US Attorney Joe diGenova told Sean Hannity that Christopher Steele will be interviewed by US Attorney John Durham.
Joe diGenova: Well, he obviously made a strategic decision because he's going to be interviewed by John Durham. It's not the inspector general from the Department of Justice who is going to talk to him. Because he doesn't have any reason to talk to Mr. Horowitz. He's going to talk to John Durham and his people. So there's obviously been some sort of deal that's been worked out. This is great news... I assume he's going to tell the truth now because this is the big casino now. And what he's going to prove is the FBI lied in the FISA warrants, and they lied to Congress and they lied to everybody about what they knew about Steele's behavior.

Justice Department Watchdog Started 10 New Investigations of the FBI Since Last Year
Several probes appear to be linked to bureau's actions before 2016 presidential election
The government watchdog tasked with oversight of the FBI initiated 10 new investigations of the bureau since last year, according to a review of archived versions of the page tracking the agency's ongoing work. The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is best known for its ongoing investigation of the FBI's use of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump-campaign associate Carter Page. The inspector general has nearly completed that investigation and is expected to release a report in the coming weeks. But the FISA inquiry is one of at least six inspector general inquiries which appear to be directly related to FBI and DOJ activities targeting the Trump campaign before the 2016 presidential election. All six of the investigations were made public on the OIG's Ongoing Work page between January 2018 and April this year.
In three separate investigations, the inspector general is reviewing the FBI's use of undercover operations, confidential human sources, and covert contracts. Evidence made public since the 2016 election suggests that all three of these bureau components were involved in the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. The inspector general is also scrutinizing how the FBI handles misconduct investigations of its employees. This probe may include the many FBI officials who have either been fired from or left the bureau since 2017. The fired FBI officials include Director James Comey, Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok.
The watchdog inquiry into the FBI confidential human sources program may in part focus on former British spy Christopher Steele. The bureau hired Steele in 2016 and paid him to provide raw intelligence from his notorious anti-Trump dossier. The bureau fired Steele after learning that he provided the same intelligence to news media in violation of the rules for confidential human sources. Before firing Steele, the bureau used information from his dossier as evidence to obtain a warrant to surveil Page. Top FBI and DOJ officials signed off on the warrant despite evidence that Steele was biased against Trump and without verifying the claims in his dossier. The application for the FISA warrant omitted the fact that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the dossier. In one of the most recent disclosures about Steele, notes by State Department official Kathleen Kavalec show that the FBI was likely aware that Steele was not a reliable source well before securing a warrant using Steele's dossier as evidence. Notably, the OIG is assessing "the FBI's process of determining reliability and appropriateness of confidential human sources." The FBI also used at least one undercover agent, Stefan Halper, to target Trump-campaign associates, including Page and George Papadopoulos. Another undercover agent, Azra Turk, worked alongside Halper to target Papadopoulos, but it is not known if she was sent by the FBI or another agency.
The watchdog's scrutiny of the FBI's covert contracts is likely to cover more than one component since these agreements are used by different branches of the bureau. Steele's contract with the FBI was likely covert. Halper was an FBI informant and worked for a think tank paid by the Department of Defense. The inspector general is also looking into the DOJ's "use of immigration sponsorship programs." This probe may review how Steele lobbied DOJ official Bruce Ohr for a visa for Russia billionaire Oleg Deripaska. The inspector general's office did not respond to a phone call requesting a comment.

The plan was for Italian Intelligence to hack into these servers, plant classified emails from Hillary's servers inside these servers on American soil, and then alert the FBI.
The FBI would then raid these locations, "discover" these e-mails, investigate, link these servers to Trump...
And then force Trump to resign.

An important post worth repeating.
I suspect President Trump reached an agreement with PM May under which POTUS covers for MI6 in exchange for hanging Brennan & Comey. Maybe the Queen had something to say?

Christopher Steele Reportedly Planning To Meet With US Authorities
Former British spy Christopher Steele has agreed to meet in London with U.S. officials regarding the dossier, The Times of London is reporting. A source close to Steele told the newspaper he plans to meet with American authorities within the next several weeks, but only about his interactions with the FBI and only with the approval of the British government. Steele's decision is an apparent about-face from his reported refusal to meet with U.S. investigators regarding his infamous report.
Reuters reported in May that Steele was unwilling to meet with a federal prosecutor who Attorney General William Barr tapped to lead an investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. And Politico reported on April 17 that Steele was refusing to meet with the Justice Department's office of the inspector general, which is looking into the FBI's use of the dossier to obtain surveillance warrants against Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser. Steele alleged in the dossier that the Trump campaign was part of a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation" with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election. He also reported that the Kremlin was blackmailing President Donald Trump with video of him with prostitutes in Moscow in 2016. Those allegations have been all but debunked by the special counsel's investigation, which was unable to find a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Kremlin to influence the election.
Steele, who worked indirectly for the Clinton campaign and DNC, was interviewed by the special counsel twice in 2017, but has rebuffed congressional requests for in-person interviews. He has largely avoided public view since BuzzFeed published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017. He backed out of appearing at a national security event that was to be held in Baltimore in early March. Michael Horowitz, the Justice Department inspector general, is reportedly investigating the FBI's use of Steele as a confidential informant. Steele first provided information to an FBI agent based in Rome on July 5, 2016. He met with FBI agents at other points before the election, as well as with members of the media, State Department and Justice Department officials. The FBI cut ties with Steele on Oct. 31, 2016, after an article appeared which quoted Steele anonymously as a source speaking about his investigation of Trump. But investigators re-established contact with Steele weeks after the election. They tapped Justice Department official Bruce Ohr to serve as a back channel of sorts between Steele and the FBI.
Barr, the attorney general, has also expressed interest in the provenance of the dossier. He testified that he is concerned that the document is Russian disinformation. Steele, who worked in Russia for MI6 until his retirement in 2009, reportedly relied on a network of sources inside Russia to compile the dossier. The report's apparent inaccuracies has led some intelligence experts to call for an investigation into whether Kremlin operatives planted false information with Steele in order to smear Trump. Steele's intelligence firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, did not respond to a request for comment.

Former British Spy Christopher Steele Agrees to Questioning By US Officials kek
Former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, best known for authoring the infamous anti-Trump dossier, has reached a deal with American officials to answer questions about his work for the FBI, according to The Times of London.
The Times, citing a source close to Steele, reported that the former spy will meet American officials in London in the coming weeks.
The Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid for the dossier via a law firm during the 2016 presidential campaign. The FBI used the dossier to obtain a warrant to spy on former Trump-campaign associate Carter Page.
Top FBI and DOJ officials signed off on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application to spy on Page, despite evidence that Steele's dossier was unverified and that the former British spy was biased against Trump. The FISA application omitted the fact that the Clinton campaign funded the dossier as well as exculpatory details of Page's assistance to the FBI.
The Justice Department Office of Inspector General (OIG) is close to completing an inquiry into the FBI's handling of the FISA process and whether improper political considerations played into the bureau's surveillance of Page. Steele agreed to speak to the inspector general after learning that the soon-to-be-released OIG report is critical of him and his credibility.
A source close to Orbis Business Intelligence, Steele's firm, told the Times that the former spy will retain an American lawyer for the interview. Steele has limited the scope of the questioning to his work for the FBI. Steele also asked the Justice Department to obtain permission from British officials before the interview.
An anonymous senior government source told the Times that there was no request to interview Steele. Whether to testify or not would be Steele's decision since he is no longer in government service, the source added.
Steele paid second- and third-hand sources with ties to the Kremlin for the raw intelligence he included in his report. None of the claims in the report which are damaging to Trump or his associates have been verified, despite yearslong investigations by the FBI, special counsel Robert Mueller, and Congress.
In British court filings, Steele has admitted that he was hired in order to produce a dossier which his client could use to challenge the results of the 2016 presidential election. According to State Department documents declassified through a Freedom of Information Act request, Steele told State Department official Kathleen Kavalec that his client was eager to see the dossier become public before the 2016 election.
The Times also reports that Steele's dossier "led to an FBI inquiry" of the Trump campaign which later evolved into the special counsel investigation. The newspaper does not provide a source for the claim, which is different from the FBI's official narrative that the investigation of the Trump campaign began based on comments by Trump-campaign advisor George Papadopoulos.
According to the FBI's current narrative, as laid out in the final report by Mueller, the bureau opened the investigation into the Trump campaign after learning that Papadopoulos told Australian diplomat Alexander Downer that Russia had "dirt" on Clinton in the form of thousands of emails.
CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS!!!

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-06-04/attkisson-10-questions-id-ask-robert-mueller-if-i-were-allowed
The statement Mueller chose to give carries with it an implication that his team looked for evidence of President Trump's innocence but simply could not find it. With that in mind, I thought of a short list of questions I'd like to ask Mueller, if ever permitted to do so:
What witnesses did you interview and what evidence did you collect in an attempt to exonerate Trump or prove him not guilty? (I believe the answer would be, "None. It's not the job of a special counsel or prosecutor to do so." Therefore, was Mueller's comment appropriate?)
Does it concern you that the FBI claimed "collection tool failure" in stating that 19,000 text messages between former FBI employees Lisa Page and Peter Strozk had been deleted and were unavailable for review by the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general? Is it worth investigating how the inspector general was able to recover the messages, when the FBI said it could not? Does the FBI lack the technical expertise, or the will? Isn't it a serious issue that should be addressed, either way?
Along the same lines, do you think it strange or inappropriate that the DOJ wiped text messages between Strzok and Page from their special counsel cell phones? The deletions happened shortly after they were ejected from the team and before the DOJ's Office of the Inspector General could review them - at a time when all had been informed that their actions were under review. Did technicians attempt to recover the messages? Were the circumstances of the deletions thoroughly investigated?
When did you first learn that the FBI and DOJ signed off on and presented unverified, anti-Trump political opposition research to a court to get wiretaps on an innocent U.S. citizen? Doesn't this violate the strict procedures enacted while you were FBI director, intended to ensure that only verified information is seen by the court? Who will be held accountable for any lapses in this arena?
Do these issues point to larger problems within our intelligence community, in terms of how officials operate? Does that put you in a position where there's a conflict of interest since you were in charge of the FBI when prior surveillance abuses were identified by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court? Did you consider disclosing this potential conflict and stepping aside, or referring any issues that overlap with your interests?
What steps did you take after Strzok and Page were exposed, to try to learn if other investigators on your team likewise were conflicted? Did you take action to segregate the work of these agents and any potential biases they injected into your investigation and team? Wasn't their behavior a beacon to call you to follow an investigative trail in another direction?
Did you become concerned about foreign influence beyond Russia when you learned that a foreign national, Christopher Steele, claimed to have obtained opposition research from Russian officials connected to Putin - and that the FBI and DOJ presented this material to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to obtain wiretap approvals?
Were you aware that some Democratic Party officials acknowledged coordinating with Ukraine in 2016 to undermine Trump and his associates and to leak disparaging information to the news media?
Is it true that you applied for the job as FBI director but Trump rejected you, the day before then-Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed you as special counsel to investigate Trump? Does that put you in a potentially conflicted position?
Do you think Donald Trump is guilty of a crime? If so, then do you believe he is perhaps the most clever criminal of our time since he was able to conceal the evidence despite all the government wiretaps, investigations, informants, surveillance and hundreds of interviews spanning several years?
Anon's remember that Sharyl was the CBS reporter that Buckwheat, Brennan and Clapper surveilled and installed top secret information on her computer.

Barr: Spygate investigation is focused on 'small group at the top' of FBI in 2016
The Department of Justice's investigation into the origins of Trump-Russia "spygate" is focused on "a small group at the top" of the FBI at the time, Attorney General William Barr said.
"A lot of the people who were involved are no longer there," Barr said on May 31.
The anti-Trump dossier, funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, was crucial in the FBI's launching of the Trump-Russia probe.
The dossier's impact inside FBI headquarters is a topic of investigation by John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut. Barr has assigned him the task of finding out how and why the FBI targeted the Trump campaign - which means a focus on the dossier.
Durham, the attorney general said, has the power to compel former officials to testify. The Justice Department inspector general does not.
"These counterintelligence activities that were directed at the Trump campaign were not done in the normal course and not through the normal procedures, as far as I can tell," Barr said.
The attorney general said he wants Durham to find out "what was the predicate for it," "was everyone operating in their proper lane" and "what was the evidence."
Barr "has made it clear he wants to know ... just how far did the discredited dossier take the FBI into the depths of a nearly three-year Trump investigation?" Washington Times correspondent Rowan Scarborough noted in a June 2 report.
Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, pitched his dossier to the FBI in these terms: Donald Trump was a Russia spy, co-conspirator and financier of computer hacking.

Meet the espionage firm which ordered Trump 'dirty dossier' - a secretive D.C. firm which has aided Planned Parenthood and attacked Mitt Romney's friends
Fusion GPS is the 'opposition research firm' that was hired to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2015 - which was published this week and quickly discredited
It sub-contracted Orbis Business Intelligence, run by ex-British spies Christopher Steele and Christopher Burrows
The search for information was initially catalyzed by a Republican donor, and then picked up by Democrats after concerns about Trump's links to Russia
The 'dossier' Steele compiled cites several unnamed Russian sources who claim Trump has been cultivated as an intelligence asset for years
Among the discredited claims was an accusation that Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on a hotel bed in Moscow while he watched
Fusion GPS did not just commission it, they also quietly touted it over the summer, sources say

inner sauce:
Top Clinton staff received updates on Steele's material. Then, they accused Trump of collusion. FBI investigators, who also had the dossier, were trying to confirm it. They failed.
Without evidence to prove any of the dossier's most serious allegations, a new standard of proof emerged: The allegations were legitimate because they had not been proven untrue.
Leading figures in politics and journalism adopted the new standard. "Not a single revelation in the Steele dossier has been refuted," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee. "[I'm] aware of nothing in the Christopher Steele dossier that has been shown to be false," said Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe. "So far with this dossier, nothing yet has been proven untrue," said Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press."
The new Trump standard turned the old standard - can an allegation be proven true? - on its head.

One of the more unfortunate effects of the Trump-Russia investigation - and there have been many - is the weakening of traditional standards of argument and proof in the public debate over allegations that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election. (Just for the record: It didn't.)
In particular, angry disputes about the president have done terrible harm to the principle that an investigator, be it a journalist or a prosecutor, should meet at least some standard of proof before leveling an accusation.
Two examples. First is the so-called Steele dossier, the collection of wild allegations against Trump compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.
Steele's unfounded accusations - that there was a years-long "well-developed conspiracy" between Trump and Russia, that Trump accepted "a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin," and that Russian spies taped Trump watching prostitutes perform a kinky sex act in a Moscow hotel room in 2013 - circulated throughout law enforcement and political circles starting in the summer of 2016. That just happened to be the time the Clinton campaign and some in the media began accusing Trump of "colluding" with Russia to gain an advantage in the election.
Top Clinton staff received updates on Steele's material. Then, they accused Trump of collusion. FBI investigators, who also had the dossier, were trying to confirm it. They failed.
Without evidence to prove any of the dossier's most serious allegations, a new standard of proof emerged: The allegations were legitimate because they had not been proven untrue.

Q Research General #8487: It's Time Edition
I found the news for the 4-6% that will never be saved. Mega KEKS for anons.
That didn't take long. Joe Biden had barely joined the 2020 presidential race when the right-wing disinformation machine began cranking out the newest iteration of its Deep State conspiracy theory, with this version claiming the former vice president was part of a government cabal that cooked up a supposedly phony Trump-Russia scandal to keep the reality television celebrity from gaining the White House. This certainly is an easy charge to debunk-that is, if you care about facts-but it's still likely that this unfounded notion will take hold in the fever swamp of Trump-encouraged and Fox-fueled conservative paranoia.
Days after Biden declared his presidential bid in late April, Restoration PAC, a conservative political action committee generously funded by a Republican billionaire, posted on Facebook a video titled "Joe Biden's Involvement in the Fusion GPS/Steele Dossier." For right-wingers, any Biden connection to this document would mean that the Democratic 2020 frontrunner was in the middle of the plot against Donald Trump, for the theory pushed by Fox Newsers and others holds that the memos written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele during the 2016 campaign-which alleged Trump was directly in cahoots with Moscow-triggered the FBI's Trump-Russia probe that morphed into special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation in 2017. The basic foundation of this conspiracy theory, though, is wrong: The FBI's inquiry began in late July 2016 not because of the Steele memos but due to the US government receiving information from another government (the Australians) that a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser, George Papadopoulos, had been privately told that Russia had dirt on Hillary Clinton-a trove of emails-that could be used against the Democratic candidate. (Want a source for this? See the last page of the infamous Nunes memo.)

- Since the Steele Dossier was the starting point for the investigation, did you do your due diligence on the dossier?
- Did you determine who funded it? (no) Q2777
- So you relied on FISC. Did you notice all the 4 FISA Judges who approved the 4 FISAs were appointed by Republican Presidents (Bush Sr, Bush Jr and Reagan) Didn't you find it odd?
- Was FISC made aware of the details surrounding the Steele dossier? (no)
Don't you think it was then your responsibility to investigate these details for the manifestation of the truth?
- What justification did you give to DAG RR for him to expand your mandate?
- Why was this expansion not reported to Congress?
- Were you seeking for a crime outside of Russian collusion?
- Did you investigate POTUS' finances?
- Were you contemplating investigating POTUS' tweets for obstruction charges? Q1711
- It is open source information that Senator McCain gave the Steele dossier to the FBI. Are you aware?
- Then why isn't Senator McCain mentioned even once in your 448 page report to confirm at least that open source information?
- Do you know Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS?
- Assuming you did the proper due diligence on the Steele Dossier, did you know Steele was hired by Fusion GPS which was in turn hired by the DNC through its law firm Perkins & Coie?
- Were you aware Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie? Q2330
- Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS and Perkins & Coie are therefore key to the manifestation of the truth. Why are they not mentioned even once in your 448 page report?
- Do you know Bruce Ohr?
- Are you aware of his personal relationship with Glenn Simpson?
- Do you know his wife Nellie Ohr?
- Did you know Nellie Ohr was hired by Fusion GPS and was involved in the production of the Steele Dossier?
- Did you know Bruce Ohr was the conduit for Steele at the DOJ and that all their interactions were reported by Bruce Ohr to Sally Yates?
- Did you know Bruce Ohr ultimately told the FBI that the Steele Dossier was not true? Q2041
- Since Bruce Ohr's involvement was this crucial, why didn't you call him to testify? Q1974.
- Why didn't you call Nellie Ohr to testify?
- How about Glenn Simpson?
- And John McCain?
- And Christopher Steele?
As you can see, Mueller testifying before Congress would have been carnage.

Donald Trump: 'I Got Me Elected' Not Russia
President Donald Trump clarified a statement he made on Twitter about Russia, denying the country had anything to do with winning his election.
"No, Russia did not help me get elected. Do you know who got me elected? I got me elected. Russia didn't help me at all," Trump said. "Russia, if anything, I think, helped the other side."
Trump clarified a statement on Twitter, in which he was characterizing the Democratic obsession with Russia that suddenly went quiet.
"Russia, Russia, Russia! That's all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax...And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected," Trump wrote on Thursday morning. "It was a crime that didn't exist."
Democrats and Trump's critics in the media pounced on the statement, insisting that the president finally admitted that Russia helped him get elected.
Trump said that Hillary Clinton colluded with the media and the Russians to win her election, but lost.
"She didn't make it, but you take a look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and the media. you take a look at collusion between Hillary Clinton and Russia," Trump said. "She had more to do in the campaign with Russia than I did." https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/05/30/donald-trump-i-got-me-elected-not-russia/
Fact Check: No, Trump Did Not Admit Russia Helped Him Get Elected
The mainstream media and the political left are celebrating what they are describing as an admission by President Donald Trump that Russia helped him win the 2016 presidential election.
On Thursday morning, Trump tweeted: "Russia, Russia, Russia! That's all you heard at the beginning of this Witch Hunt Hoax...And now Russia has disappeared because I had nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected. It was a crime that didn't exist. So now the Dems and their partner, the Fake News Media,.........say he fought back against this phony crime that didn't exist, this horrendous false accusation, and he shouldn't fight back, he should just sit back and take it. Could this be Obstruction? No, Mueller didn't find Obstruction either. Presidential Harassment!"
The awkwardly worded phrase "Russia helping me to get elected" is being treated as a confession, a Freudian slip that reveals the president's true state of mind - though he also called the idea "a crime that didn't exist," and a "false accusation" in the same tweets, suggesting that Trump was simply rejecting the allegations about collusion as a whole.
The New York Times ran a story about Trump's comments under the headline,
"Trump Admits to Russia 'Helping Me to Get Elected'."
The story rocketed to the top of social media as Trump's detractors circulated the tweets, and the story.
The Times added that Trump "has avoided saying publicly that Russia helped him win the presidency in 2016 through its election interference." The implication of that sentence is that Trump might have said so, or thought so, privately. It also presumes Russia actually helped him win.
Yet moments later, on the White House lawn, Trump said: "No, Russia did not help me get elected. Do you know who got me elected? Do you know who got me elected? I got me elected. Russia didn't help me at all. Russia, if anything, I think, helped the other side. What you ought to ask is this: do you think the media helped Hillary Clinton get elected?"
Trump also pointed to alleged "collusion between Hillary Clinton and Russia," which many Republicans believed was key to the creation of a discredited "dossier" by former British spy Christopher Steele, who was being paid indirectly by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. The dossier was allegedly used by the FBI to apply for a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to conduct extensive surveillance on Trump campaign associates.
Trump has acknowledged before that Russian intelligence agencies attempted to interfere with the election, even if he has also accepted, likely for diplomatic reasons, Russian President Vladimir Putin's public assurances that it did not.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation concluded that Russian operatives sought to help Trump win, though critics argue that the primary goal of Russian interference - some of which targeted Republicans - was to sow chaos. (Even Hollywood leftist Michael Moore was duped into participating in an anti-Trump rally organized by Russians.)

"A whistleblower recently revealed the existence of a communique from our allies in Great Britain during the early days of the Russia collusion investigation," Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, told me.
"Based on my conversations with that individual, and the credible timelines that are supported by other events, I made a referral to Attorney General William Barr and Inspector General Michael Horowitz for further investigation," he added. "There now is overwhelming evidence to suggest that on multiple occasions the FBI was warned that Christopher Steele and the dossier had severe credibility issues."

The most notable of the panelists was Carter Page, a foreign policy expert with the Trump campaign who authorities believed was trying to make contacts with Russia during the 2016 campaign. The FBI in 2016 obtained a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to surveil Page, who has been largely unrepentant about his role in the Trump campaign. On Wednesday, he said he was the victim of "civil rights abuses."
Sitting before a poster board that listed the priorities of the FBI, Page said he was less concerned with issues of spying - on him and the Trump campaign - than with "literally the terrorism associated with this." He then proceeded to argue that what he called "false reports" and "attacks" against him and the Trump campaign met the definition of terrorism.
"We're really all victims in this," Page said, seeming to refer to the broader Trump movement and its affiliates.
Tom Fitton, the Judicial Watch head, who regularly defends Trump on Fox News, blasted the "dishonesty of the Mueller report." A press release sent ahead of the panel said that same report "has exonerated President Trump of the false accusations of collusion and obstruction."
Trump himself has claimed such exoneration, an apparent reference to a lack of new indictments stemming from Mueller's findings. The Mueller report did not find evidence the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, and did not draw conclusions about whether the president should be charged with obstruction of justice.
Whatever the interpretation of the Mueller report, the panelists focused on attacking the investigation itself, and suggested that former Democratic officials need to now be investigated, some three years after the activity in question may have taken place.
Trump's foe in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton, remained a primary target. At one point, Fitton said that she was "working directly with Russian intelligence," referring to the dossier compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.
Though the Steele dossier was commissioned by the Democratic National Committee, the initial investigation into Trump's business dealings was paid for by a Republican publisher and donor, Paul Singer.
And while Democrats in the House of Representatives would like Mueller to testify, the Judicial Watch panelists wanted to see another former public servant troop up Capitol Hill.
"I want to know: What did Obama know? What did he approve? What did he tacitly nod his head for? What did he explicitly authorize?" Farrell wondered. "Let's get Mr. Obama under oath."

Crooked Democrat Senator Mark Warner Sounds the Alarm Over Barr's Declassification Powers in Letter to Intel Chiefs
President Trump really sent the rats scurrying with his declassification order - every corrupt official involved in Spygate is panicking.
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) lashed out at Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday following the President's declassification order of Spygate documents.
The incredibly corrupt Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Panel took to Twitter and accused Bill Barr of "selectively releasing information" in order to mislead the American people.
But Warner didn't stop there.
The crooked Democrat Senator also sent a letter to the heads of the FBI, CIA, the NSA and Director of National Intelligence sounding the alarm on the Barr's declassification powers.
In a letter dated Friday and obtained by the Associated Press, Warner says he fears Trump is giving Barr "the right to selectively declassify certain information for purposes of political gain."
Warner then asked the leaders of the intel agencies to alert lawmakers if Bill Barr's investigation threatens their work.
The first batch of declassification documents are said to include the 'bucket 5' - FBI documents of recorded conversations exonerating Trump campaign officials George Papadopoulos and Carter Page prior to the FBI obtaining their first FISA warrant.
Mark Warner's panel investigated so-called 'Trump-Russia collusion' for over two years so he knows there was no such conspiracy.
Trump's declassification order will expose the truth which is why Warner, who tried to set up a secret backchannel to dossier author Christopher Steele is panicking.

British ex-spy [Steele] will not talk to U.S. prosecutor examining Trump probe origins
Mark Hosenball
3 MIN READ
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The former British spy who produced a dossier describing alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia will not cooperate with a prosecutor assigned by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to review how the investigations of Trump and his 2016 election campaign began, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Christopher Steele, a former Russia expert for the British spy agency MI6, will not answer questions from prosecutor John Durham, named by Barr to examine the origins of the investigations into Trump and his campaign team, said the source close to Steele's London-based private investigation firm, Orbis Business Intelligence.
Trump has given Barr broad authority to declassify intelligence materials related to the investigations. Last week Trump ordered the heads of U.S. spy and law enforcement agencies to cooperate with Durham.
Steele, who had previously collaborated with the FBI on issues such as corruption in the global soccer organization FIFA, was hired in 2016 by Fusion GPS, a Washington-based private investigations firm working for lawyers representing the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Steele produced for Fusion GPS a set of controversial and sometimes salacious reports describing alleged contacts Trump and his team had with Russians before the election.
Trump says Steele's "fake dossier" was a key factor behind the investigations and what he claims is a broader "witch hunt" against him. He also accuses senior intelligence officials of improperly "spying" on his campaign.
According to documents declassified by the Trump administration, the FBI cited Steele's reporting as partial justification for electronic surveillance targeting Carter Page, a one-time Trump campaign advisor with business dealings in Russia.
Democrats accuse Trump of trying to turn attention away from the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose report into Russian interference in the 2016 election described numerous links between the Trump campaign and Moscow, and said Trump had repeatedly tried to impede the investigation.
The source close to Steele's company said Steele would not cooperate with Durham's probe but might cooperate with a parallel inquiry by the Justice Department's Inspector General into how U.S. law enforcement agencies handled pre-election investigations into both Trump and Clinton.
Steele also cooperated with Mueller's investigative team, voluntarily submitting to two interviews in September 2017. He also gave written testimony to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018, the source said.
The Justice Department had no immediate comment, and a spokesman for Durham declined to comment.

Dossier Author Christopher Steele Refuses to Cooperate with US Attorney John Durham in His Investigation Into Origins of Spygate
Christopher Steele, the former British spy who was paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC to compile a 35-page dossier smearing Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign is refusing to cooperate with US Attorney John Durham in his investigation into the origins of Spygate.
Reuters reported:
The former British spy who produced a dossier describing alleged links between Donald Trump and Russia will not cooperate with a prosecutor assigned by U.S. Attorney General William Barr to review how the investigations of Trump and his 2016 election campaign began, a source with knowledge of the situation said.
Christopher Steele, a former Russia expert for the British spy agency MI6, will not answer questions from prosecutor John Durham, named by Barr to examine the origins of the investigations into Trump and his campaign team, said the source close to Steele's London-based private investigation firm, Orbis Business Intelligence.
Hillary Clinton hid her payments to Steele by paying him through Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the DNC during the 2016 presidential election.
Steele worked as a CHS [Confidential Human Source] for the FBI while simultaneously working for oppo research firm Fusion GPS to compile a 35-page dossier full of lies against Donald Trump, using his Russian intel sources.
Even though the FBI terminated Christopher Steele, he continued to feed the US government information through DOJ official Bruce Ohr who was acting as a backchannel to the FBI.
The FBI ultimately used the phony, Hillary-funded dossier to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page in order to spy on Trump during the 2016 election.
Attorney General Bill Barr stunned the Deep State-Democrat media complex last month when he said he believes "spying did occur" during the 2016 election.
It was later announced Bill Barr appointed US Attorney in Connecticut John Durham to investigate the origins of Spygate.
According to Reuters, Steele is refusing to cooperate with John Durham, but he may cooperate with Inspector General Michael Horowitz's parallel investigation.
The difference between Horowitz and Durham? Horowitz has no teeth - he cannot impanel a grand jury and he can only criminally refer people to the DOJ.
In contrast, Durham's investigation spans across multiple intel agencies and he has the power to convene a grand jury.

(Part 2 of 2)
Bill Priestap would have needed to approve of the underlying documents that were used for both FISA applications (June/July and Sept/Oct).
Bill Priestap would be the person to approve of paying, or reimbursing, Christopher Steele for the Russian Dossier used in their counterintelligence operation and subsequent FISA application.
Without Bill Priestap involved, approvals, etc. the entire Russian/Trump Counterintelligence operation doesn't happen. Comey's testimony is also evidence of Priestap's importance.
In addition, when Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified (w/ James Clapper), she too spoke of the important of Priestap as her liaison and contact within the FBI on the counterintelligence operation. [Yates never mentioned Peter Strzok - not once.]
Even though it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who interviewed Michael Flynn on January 24th, [link below] Sally Yates never mentioned him. EVER. saraacarter.com/2017/12/04/fbi...
However Deputy AG Sally Yates did talk about Bill Priestap during her testimony.
Yates said she and Bill Priestap traveled together, Jan 26th, to the White House to inform Don McGhan (WH Counsel) of Michael Flynn "misleading statements" (based on Pence media reports and Flynn prior ambush interview Jan 24th).
According to Sally Yates testimony, she and Bill Priestap reportedly presented all the information to McGahn so the White House could take action that they deemed appropriate.
So you can see that Bill Priestap is a central figure. Comey defers to him; Yates relied on him; Strzok reports to him; etc.
Yet there's no mention of Bill Priestap in any of the explosive investigative story-lines in the past two weeks. Why?
Bill Priestap is FBI Director of Counterintelligence. There's no way he hasn't been caught inside the investigative net.
Priestap's boss, Andrew McCabe has been caught. His subordinate, Peter Strzok, has most certainly been caught. And previously FBI Director Comey pushed him in front of the bus.
Either Priestap is going to be the attempted fall-guy for the entire scheme.
-OR-
Bill Priestap saw the bus coming and is assisting the scheme investigators: Horowitz, Sessions and Wray.
POSTSCRIPT: Remember to follow the wives. Bill Priestap's wife, Sabina Menshel, who is recorded as a donor to Hillary for America AND ActBlue.

Suggest everyone repeat this mantra:
I will notice but not react to disinfo
I will notice but not react to disinfo
I will notice but not react to disinfo
Moar on /ourguy/ Billy Priestap, hat tip to @thelastrefuge2 tweet from a year ago.
Part 1:
Bill Priestap is the FBI Director of Counterintelligence.
Bill Priestap was the immediate supervisor of FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Peter Strzok. . Priestap is #1, Strzok was #2.
The investigation into candidate Donald Trump was a counterintelligence operation. That operation began in July 2016. Bill Priestap would have been in charge of that, along with all other, FBI counterintelligence operations.
FBI Deputy Peter Strzok was specifically in charge of the Trump counterintel op. However, Strzok would be reporting to Bill Priestap on every detail and couldn't (according to structure anyway) make a move without Priestap approval.
On March 20th 2017 congressional testimony, James Comey was asked why the FBI Director did not inform congressional oversight about the counterintelligence operation that began in July 2016.
Director Comey said he did not tell congressional oversight he was investigating presidential candidate Donald Trump because the Director of Counterintelligence suggested he not do so. *Very important detail.*
I cannot emphasize this enough. *VERY* important detail. Again, notice how Comey doesn't use Priestap's actual name, but refers to his position and title. (see embedded)
FBI Director James Comey was caught entirely off guard by that first three minutes of questioning. He simply didn't anticipate it.
Oversight protocol requires the FBI Director to tell the congressional intelligence "Gang of Eight" of any counterintelligence operations. The Go8 has oversight into these ops at the highest level of classification. At the time this was the group:
–Paul Ryan
–Nancy Pelosi
–Mitch McConnell
–Chuck Shumer
–Devin Nunes
–Adam Schiff
–Bill Burr
–Diane Feinstein
Based on what we know, and what has surfaced recently, we can all see why the FBI would want to keep it hidden that they were running a counterintelligence operation against a presidential candidate. As FBI Agent Peter Strzok said it was an "insurance policy".
FBI Agent Strzok to FBI Attorney Page: "I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office that there's no way he gets elected - but I'm afraid we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40."
Text: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/12/12/politics/peter-strzok-texts-released/index.html?__twitter_impression=true
So James Comey is telling congress that the reason he didn't inform the statutory oversight "Gang of Eight" was because Bill Priestap (Director of Counterintelligence) recommended he didn't do it.
That's called creating a "fall guy". FBI Director James Comey is ducking responsibility in March 2017 by blaming FBI Director of Counterintelligence Bill Priestap for not informing congress of the operation that began in July 2016. (9 months prior).
At that moment, that very specific moment during that hearing, anyone who knows how these things roll could see Comey was creating his own exit from getting ensnared in the consequences from the wiretapping and surveillance operation of President Donald Trump.
Bill Priestap is James Comey's shield from liability.
There has been NO MENTION of Bill Priestap in any of the recent revelations, despite his centrality to all of it.
Bill Priestap would have needed to authorize Peter Strzok to engage with Christopher Steele over the "Russian Dossier".

Steele, who had previously collaborated with the FBI on issues such as corruption in the global soccer organization FIFA, was hired in 2016 by Fusion GPS, a Washington-based private investigations firm working for lawyers representing the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. nton's presidential campaign. Steele produced for Fusion GPS a set of controversial and sometimes salacious reports describing alleged contacts Trump and his team had with Russians before the election.
Trump says Steele's "fake dossier" was a key factor behind the investigations and what he claims is a broader "witch hunt" against him. He also accuses senior intelligence officials of improperly "spying" on his campaign. According to documents declassified by the Trump administration, the FBI cited Steele's reporting as partial justification for electronic surveillance targeting Carter Page, a one-time Trump campaign advisor with business dealings in Russia.
Democrats accuse Trump of trying to turn attention away from the findings of Special Counsel Robert Mueller, whose report into Russian interference in the 2016 election described numerous links between the Trump campaign and Moscow, and said Trump had repeatedly tried to impede the investigation. The source close to Steele's company said Steele would not cooperate with Durham's probe but might cooperate with a parallel inquiry by the Justice Department's Inspector General into how U.S. law enforcement agencies handled pre-election investigations into both Trump and Clinton. Steele also cooperated with Mueller's investigative team, voluntarily submitting to two interviews in September 2017. He also gave written testimony to the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee in August 2018, the source said. The Justice Department had no immediate comment, and a spokesman for Durham declined to comment.

Market works said basically the same thing
Wapo, NYT and Brennan put him
In a stroke of irony, the New York Times rushed out a story decrying Barr's investigation and the pending declassification, citing potential risk to a CIA Asset from the declassification. The reality is the article by the New York Times appeared to be designed to actually burn that same CIA source in advance of the pending declassification.
The description provided by the New York Times-male, still alive, long-nurtured by the CIA, close to Putin, highly placed and provided information to the CIA about his involvement in Russia's 2016 election interference-appears sufficient to allow for foreign intelligence agencies to determine the source's underlying identity.
The source being discussed by the New York Times was not your run-of-the-mill CIA asset. Former CIA Director John Brennan viewed this source as so important that he "would bring reports from the source directly to the White House, keeping them out of the president's daily intelligence briefing for fear that the briefing document was too widely disseminated, according to the officials. Instead, he would place them in an envelope for Mr. Obama and a tiny circle of aides to read."
The article-and the description of the CIA asset provided in the article-appears to be a preemptive move to get information into the public domain in front of the impending release from Barr's investigation.
There have been other recent references to sources as well. On Oct. 11, 2016, dossier author Christopher Steele met with Kathleen Kavalec, then-deputy assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs, just 10 days prior to the FBI obtaining a FISA warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page on Oct. 21, 2016. Also present at this meeting was Tatyana Duran, who was referenced as being with Steele's firm Orbis Security.
Notes taken by Kalevec of the meeting, of which a redacted version was made public earlier in May, show that Steele provided her with a full rundown of the unverified information compiled in his dossier to that date. Also included in her notes from the Steele meeting were two names-Trubnikov and Surkov-that were noted as "sources" for Steele.
Vyacheslav Trubnikov is the former First Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and the former Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service. Notably, Trubnikov has ties to FBI spy Stefan Halper, having participated in courses co-taught by Halper in 2012 and 2015.
Vladislav Surkov, a shadowy figure in Russian politics, is reported to be an aide of Vladimir Putin and the personal adviser to President Vladimir Putin on Ukraine. He has been referred to as a "political technologist"-one who engages in the shaping and reshaping public opinion.
Both of these men fit the generalized profile provided in the New York Times article. The ramifications would prove profound should either man prove to be the source for Brennan, while concurrently serving as a source for Steele.
The Washington Post also published an article describing the dangers posed by President Trump's Executive Order, claiming the declassification authority given to AG Barr "threatens to expose U.S. intelligence sources and could distort the FBI and CIA's roles in investigating Russian interference in the 2016 elections." The Post included a lead quote from former FBI General Counsel James Baker who noted, "This is a complete slap in the face to the director of national intelligence."

Q Research General #8446: POTUS Live from the USS Wasp Edition
Dossier Architects Claimed They Wanted To Protect Identity Of Sources. One Was Unmasked Anyway
The architects of the Steele dossier have claimed that protecting the identity of one of the document's main sources was a major concern.
Despite that, a Belarus-born businessman was identified in the press as the source for some of the dossier's most salacious allegations about President Donald Trump and the campaign.
A review of press reports and government documents shows Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson identified the alleged source, Sergei Millian, to journalists and government officials.
Former British spy Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson claimed to have concerns about the safety and security of one of the sources for the dossier, but outed him anyway by talking to journalists.
Steele told a State Department official in October 2016 that "source protection" was a focus in his investigation of President Donald Trump, according to notes from the meeting released earlier this month.
That purported concern was also shared by Simpson, who hired Steele on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. He told Justice Department official Bruce Ohr on Jan. 20, 2017, that he was worried about the safety of a dossier source he believed was about to be identified in the media.
Sergei Millian was outed four days later.
On Jan. 24, 2017, ABC News and The Wall Street Journal identified Millian, an American citizen born in Belarus, as an unwitting source for Steele. Described interchangeably as Source D, Source E and an "ethnic Russian associate of Trump," Millian was the source who claimed that the Kremlin was blackmailing Trump with a salacious sex tape and that the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia to influence the election.
Millian's outing as a dossier source is perhaps an unintended consequence of Steele and Simpson's contacts with journalists during their investigation of Trump.
As part of its contract with the DNC and Clinton campaign, Fusion GPS was tasked with providing journalists with details of Steele's investigation. Steele and Simpson briefed numerous journalists and government officials about their investigation before and after the 2016 election, providing some with copies of the dossier. Simpson also acknowledged in Senate testimony in August 2017 that he spoke to reporters about Millian.
Michael Isikoff and David Corn, two journalists who met with Steele before the election, have reported that Simpson tipped off ABC News reporter Brian Ross to Millian's significance to the Trump investigation in July 2016. Ross, who interviewed Millian on camera on July 29, 2016, would later break the story that Millian was a dossier source.

Q Research General #8441: A Day of Thanks and Rememberance Edition
Global Elites Started The Russia Nonsense.
Attorney General William Barr has turned the attention of the Russia probe to its origin. Who started this and why? The answer, as in all the best crime dramas, is probably hiding in plain sight. On July 13, 2016, British academic Dr. Andrew Foxall penned an op-ed in the New York Times, "Why Putin Loves Brexit." He blamed Russia for the previous month's Brexit vote, adding in a little noted aside: The United States is so concerned over Moscow's determination to exploit European disunity that in January, James R. Clapper Jr., the director of national intelligence, began a review of Russia's clandestine funding of European parties. Bingo! The Obama administration was spying on conservative European political parties. Which means, almost necessarily under the Five Eyes Agreement, foreign agents were returning the favor and spying on the Trump campaign.
On August 11, 2018, I wrote: The British aristocracy has a condescending view of the hoi polloi who voted for Brexit, regarding them as easily manipulated Pygmalion-like by smarter people. They assumed Vladimir Putin was somehow playing Professor Henry Higgins to the flower girls who voted to reject the EU, because that's how they see the world. Among the Cambridge class, this simple prejudice renders Russian collusion a first principle with no need for supporting evidence.... Without supporting evidence to prove their fantastical worldview, the global elite set out to manufacture some.
First up was Christopher Steele, who hasn't set foot in Russia since 2009. He wears as a badge the claim that Putin hates him which, if true, means he has no real Russian sources. Maybe because of that, Steele's farcical dossier on Trump was not enough for the FBI to open an investigation, and these international men of mystery needed something more. They invited George Papadopoulos to London, used a Maltese asset disguised as a Russian agent - Joseph Mifsud - to feed him a whopper about Hillary Clinton's emails, then claimed he repeated the lie to Andrew Downer, an Australian diplomat with ties to the Clinton Foundation. That was the final straw that caused lovestruck counterintelligence specialist Peter Strzok to open an FBI investigation into the Trump campaign which he called "Crossfire Hurricane." Apropos, because when MI6 was joined on its flank by an FBI investigation, it was officially a crossfire: two rogue intelligence services raining fire upon Trump.
Conspiracies are mere abstractions unless they do something criminal. The Russian interference fantasy needed a crime. The DNC sold a doozy of an actus reus to the FBI after John Podesta's negligent disclosure of damaging Clinton campaign emails: Putin did it. Conveniently, the FBI delegated the inspection of the computer servers to CrowdStrike, an insider paid by the DNC. James Comey testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee in January 2017 that CrowdStrike was "a highly respected private company." What he failed to mention was that a month before his testimony, CrowdStrike had been caught falsely blaming Russia for a hack into a Ukrainian artillery computer app. In other words, at the same time this "highly respected private company" was blaming the Russians for stealing the Clinton campaign's emails, it was fabricating a different Russian hack to serve Ukrainian misinformation.
Why all the fuss about Russia? Liberal elites - who tended to love the Soviet Union - hate present day Russia, which dares to assert nationality and culture against the pieties of the one-world-order crowd. The Patriarch of the Orthodox Church passes on all legislation in the country. Putin put the girl rock band Pussy Riot in prison for desecrating an altar, a crime that has not been punished since the 13th century. President Obama sent gay representatives to the Sochi Olympics on his behalf, in protest.
That explains the leftists, but how about Republican elites? Mitch McConnell recently took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to declare the "case closed" on collusion, urging republicans and democrats to unite against Putin's election interference. That's a problem. If Trump was a product of KGB-esque intrigue, then Hillary is a victim of meddling. Trump is merely an un-indicted hapless beneficiary. The deplorables are not only racist, stupid losers, they are also Putin's unwitting stooges. The same non-evidence cited to show collusion, though, undergirds the "but Russia interfered" stupidity. It is a three-legged stool that teetered for a while upon Christopher Steele, Joseph Mifsud, and CrowdStrike, and has now crashed to the ground.

https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-graham-uncover-unusual-email-sent-susan-rice-herself-president-trump-s
In this email to yourself, you purport to document a meeting that had taken place more than two weeks before, on January 5, 2017. You wrote:
On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Comey and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present.
That meeting reportedly included a discussion of the Steele dossier and the FBI's investigation of its claims.[1] Your email continued:
President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities "by the book". The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.
From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia.
The next part of your email remains classified. After that, you wrote:
The President asked Comey to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team. Comey said he would.
It strikes us as odd that, among your activities in the final moments on the final day of the Obama administration, you would feel the need to send yourself such an unusual email purporting to document a conversation involving President Obama and his interactions with the FBI regarding the Trump/Russia investigation. In addition, despite your claim that President Obama repeatedly told Mr. Comey to proceed "by the book," substantial questions have arisen about whether officials at the FBI, as well as at the Justice Department and the State Department, actually did proceed "by the book."
In order for the Committee to further assess the situation, please respond to the following by February 22, 2018:
Did you send the email attached to this letter to yourself? Do you have any reason to dispute the timestamp of the email?
When did you first become aware of the FBI's investigation into allegations of collusion between Mr. Trump's associates and Russia?
When did you become aware of any surveillance activities, including FISA applications, undertaken by the FBI in conducting that investigation? At the time you wrote this email to yourself, were you aware of either the October 2016 FISA application for surveillance of Carter Page or the January 2017 renewal?
Did anyone instruct, request, suggest, or imply that you should send yourself the aforementioned Inauguration Day email memorializing President Obama's meeting with Mr. Comey about the Trump/Russia investigation? If so, who and why?
Is the account of the January 5, 2017 meeting presented in your email accurate? Did you omit any other portions of the conversation?
Other than that email, did you document the January 5, 2017 meeting in any way, such as contemporaneous notes or a formal memo? To the best of your knowledge, did anyone else at that meeting take notes or otherwise memorialize the meeting?
During the meeting, did Mr. Comey or Ms. Yates mention potential press coverage of the Steele dossier? If so, what did they say?
During the meeting, did Mr. Comey describe the status of the FBI's relationship with Mr. Steele, or the basis for that status?
When and how did you first become aware of the allegations made by Christopher Steele?
When and how did you first become aware that the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee funded Mr. Steele's efforts?
You wrote that President Obama stressed that he was "not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective." Did President Obama ask about, initiate, or instruct anything from any other perspective relating to the FBI's investigation?
Did President Obama have any other meetings with Mr. Comey, Ms. Yates, or other government officials about the FBI's investigation of allegations of collusion between Trump associates and Russia? If so, when did these occur, who participated, and what was discussed?

Graham says intel officials concerned about exposure of 2016 misbehavior
Amid investigations into potential misbehavior by intelligence officials during the 2016 presidential campaign, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday, "It doesn't surprise me that the people we are looking at, they don't want transparency." The South Carolina Republican told "Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace he agreed with President Trump's decision to give Attorney General William Barr "full and complete authority" to work with the intelligence community in declassifying documents related to the origins of the Russia investigation and the conduct of the Justice Department and the FBI. Barr's move has drawn strong criticism from former FBI Director James Comey, ex-CIA Director John Brennan, and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Each has said the declassification process could lead agencies vulnerable to revelations about intelligence sources and methods.
But Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said it's the ex-intelligence and Justice Department officials who should be on the defensive about their conduct in the 2016 campaign and early into Trump's tenure. "The people who are worried about this are worried about being exposed for taking the law in their own hands," said Graham, 63, without identifying specific officials. Wallace pressed him on this, calling these government secrets "the crown jewels of the intelligence community" and saying that critics had raised questions about whether Barr can "be trusted with these secrets" and whether Barr can "be trusted not to cherry-pick the information to make a case for the president." Graham said that Barr can be trusted and insisted that "we're not compromising national security here. We're trying to create a system to make sure this never happens again by shedding light on what happened."
Republicans have long argued that the launch of the Trump-Russia investigation was politically motivated, that its use of a dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele was improper, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was abused. Democrats have defended the actions taken by the DOJ and FBI. Graham said that his support for this probe was a matter of consistency, since he'd publicly supported special counsel Mueller's investigation too. "I was one of the Republicans insisting that Mueller be allowed to do his job. I never thought it was a witch hunt. The Mueller report is in. No collusion. Mueller didn't do anything on obstruction," Graham said. "Now I'm insisting that we get to the bottom of this." "I want all the documents around the FISA warrant application released," Graham explained. "I want to find out exactly how the counterintelligence operation began. I think transparency is good for the American people." Graham also criticized Democrats for not wanting answers, saying, "Not one Democrat seems to care. I was the hero when I said, 'Let's support Mueller.' I wish some Democrat would come forward to find out if the FISA court was defrauded by the FBI and the Department of Justice."
Barr has been reviewing the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign for weeks now. Not only has he tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham with reviewing the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation, but he has also enlisted the help of CIA Director Gina Haspel, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, and FBI Director Christopher Wray. Although Trump said his order empowering Barr could lead to the declassification of "millions of pages of documents," Coats quickly tamped down expectations about how much might be released, saying "I am confident that the Attorney General will work with the IC in accordance with the long-established standards to protect highly-classified information that, if publicly released, would put our national security at risk."

Nunes returned to office two days ago, with a letter to President Trump suggesting a series of questions to ask the British premier: among these, if US intelligence agents have informed their British counterparts of the contents of the dossier or any other accusation of collusion between the Trump Campaign and Russia; if the British government was informed of, gave permission for, or participated in surveillance and intelligence activities of any government against members of the Trump Campaign; whether current or former British officials and officials have forwarded information, classified or otherwise, to US counterparts about alleged contacts between members of the Trump Campaign and suspected Russian agents; whether on the British side, an assessment of Steele's reliability and motivation has been provided to current or former intelligence agents and government officials.
But one of the questions concerns Mifsud and takes us back to Italy: President Trump asks May to "describe any communication or relationship that Joseph Mifsud, potentially known - writes Nunes - also as Joseph di Gabriele (a code name that does not sound very British , ed), had with the British intelligence and any information in the possession of the British government about the ties of Mifsud with any other government or intelligence agency ".

TRUMP 'HOPES' BARR SCRUTINIZES BRITISH AND AUSTRALIAN ROLE IN 'HOAX' INVESTIGATION
*President Donald Trump said Friday he hopes the attorney general looks at the roles played by the British, Australian and Ukrainian governments in the investigation of the Trump campaign.
*Trump called out the allied governments when asked about his decision to authorize Barr to declassify a slew of documents related to the origins of the Russia probe.
*"I hope he looks at everything," Trump said of Barr.
President Donald Trump on Friday said he hopes Attorney General William Barr looks at intelligence the British, Australian and Ukrainian governments provided their American counterparts as part of the investigation of the Trump campaign.
"And I hope he looks at the U.K., and I hope he looks at Australia, and I hope he looks at Ukraine. I hope he looks at everything, because there was a hoax that was perpetrated on our country," Trump told reporters of Barr.
Trump authorized Barr to declassify documents Thursday related to the FBI's surveillance of the Trump campaign. He also instructed other federal agencies, including the CIA and FBI, to provide classified materials to Barr as part of an inquiry he is making into the government surveillance of the Trump campaign.
Barr has said while he believes "spying" occurred against the campaign, he wants to find out whether it was authorized and legal.
"[W]hat I've done is I've declassified everything," Trump said Friday.
While Trump has repeatedly teased declassifying documents from the Russia probe, he has rarely identified foreign allies he believes should be scrutinized as part of an investigation of the surveillance activities against his campaign.
Trump's comments are sure to ruffle feathers, especially since the U.K. and Australia are partners with the U.S. in the "Five Eyes" intelligence sharing agreement.
Both governments provided information to U.S. agencies regarding the Trump campaign's possible links to the Russian government. But as the special counsel found, there was no conspiracy between the two sides to influence the 2016 election.
"It's the greatest hoax, probably, in the history of our country. And somebody has to get to the bottom of it," Trump said. "We'll see."
The Australian government in July 2016 sent the FBI information about Trump aide George Papadopoulos that would reportedly serve as the catalyst for a counterintelligence investigation of the campaign.
Alexander Downer, the top Australian diplomat to the U.K., claimed during a May 10, 2016, meeting with Papadopoulos in London, the young Trump adviser claimed that Russia might release information about Hillary Clinton.
Papadopoulos has disputed Downer's claims, though he has admitted that two weeks earlier, a Maltese professor told him he had learned the Russian government had "thousands" of Clinton emails. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty in the special counsel's probe, but he did not face charges related to a conspiracy with Russia. He has denied viewing or disseminating any Clinton-related materials.
Downer has defended the Australian government's decision to share the information with the FBI, saying he grew alarmed by Papadopoulos's remarks after WikiLeaks began releasing DNC emails July 22, 2016.
British involvement in the counterintelligence probe is less direct.
The FBI relied heavily on a dossier authored by former British spy Christopher Steele to obtain surveillance warrants against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
California Rep. Devin Nunes on Wednesday called on Trump to pose questions to British Prime Minister Theresa May regarding briefings that Steele gave to a top British intelligence official shortly after Trump was elected. The official, Sir Charles Farr, reportedly shared information from Steele with the directors of MI6 and MI5, the foreign and domestic intelligence services, respectively.
The British government also reportedly approved of an FBI operation to use an informant, Stefan Halper, to meet in London with Papadopoulos in September 2016.
Halper also first met Page on British soil at a conference held in July 2016 at Cambridge University.
There have also been reports that GCHQ, the British equivalent of the National Security Agency, provided their American counterparts with signals intelligence of Trump associates.
The Daily Caller News Foundation has also reported a contractor for Fusion GPS claimed one source for the opposition research firm was Serhiy Leshchenko, a Ukrainian politician who led an investigation of Manafort.

Mark Meadows Reviews New 'Peter Strzok Coverup Text Messages' at Justice Department
Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) was spotted at the Justice Department Thursday with fellow Freedom Caucus member Jim Jordan (R-OH) shortly before President Trump issued a declassification order of Spygate documents.
Meadows told a reporter that he was at the DOJ "reviewing text messages and new correspondence that pertains to the Strzok coverup."
Just hours after Meadows visited the Justice Department, President Trump gave Attorney General Bill Barr "full and complete authority to declassify information" related to Spygate.
President Trump on Thursday evening announced that at the recommendation of Attorney General Bill Barr, he has directed the Intel Community to quickly and fully cooperate with Barr's investigation into surveillance activities.
Former counterintelligence chief Peter Strzok and his paramour FBI lawyer Lisa Page plotted against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016, desperate to stop him from winning the election.
Strzok was one of the lead investigators of the Hillary Clinton email probe into her use of a private server. After Strzok helped exonerate Hillary Clinton despite her obvious crimes of sending classified information over a private server system and destroying emails and Blackberries that were under subpoena, he then migrated over to the Trump-Russia probe to hunt down Donald Trump.
Text messages sent between Strzok and his paramour Page revealed the two absolutely hated Donald Trump and even spoke about an "insurance policy" just in case Trump won the election.
Nunes recently said in an interview that he believes the "insurance policy" text message Strzok sent Page referred to the FBI's use of Hillary's phony Russia dossier which was authored by former British spy Christopher Steele to obtain FISA warrants to wiretap Carter Page.

Mark Meadows views fresh 'Strzok coverup' material at DOJ
Rep. Mark Meadows said he was at the Justice Department to review new information about former FBI agent Peter Strzok. The North Carolina Republican was spotted at Justice Department headquarters in D.C. with Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Thursday. Asked by a reporter why he was there, Meadows said, "I was reviewing text messages and new correspondence that pertains to the Strzok coverup."
Hours after their visit, President Trump gave Attorney General William Barr "full and complete authority to declassify information" related to the origins of the federal investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Meadows and Jordan's visit to the Justice Department also comes after House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes said he learned that an August 2016 text from Strzok about an "insurance policy" had to do with the FBI's use of an unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Strzok was the lead investigator of the Hillary Clinton emails inquiry and opened the counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia in the summer of 2016. Text messages between Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, in which they displayed a negative opinion of Trump, were uncovered over the course of the Justice Department's inspector general investigation into the DOJ and FBI's conduct during the investigation into Hillary Clinton's unauthorized private email server.
The report, which came out in the summer of 2018, said their text messages "potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations.

NEW YORK - Former Vice President Joe Biden was reportedly one of the few Obama administration officials who participated in secretive meetings during the early stages of the Obama-era intelligence community's initial operations regarding suspected Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
That tidbit was contained deep inside a 7,700-plus word Washington Post article published June 23, 2017 in which the newspaper also detailed the highly compartmentalized nature of the original Russia interference investigation and the manner in which other U.S. intelligence agencies were deliberately kept in the dark. Part of the efforts eventually involved unsubstantiated and ultimately discredited charges made by the Christopher Steele dossier that Trump campaign officials were colluding with Russia.
Biden's largely unreported role in the initial Obama administration meetings on the matter of Russian interference could spark further questions now that Attorney General William Barr has appointed a U.S. attorney to investigate the origins of the Russia collusion claims.
Only last week, Barr commented that the intelligence community's early handling of the Russia investigation may itself raise questions. He noted that it was first handled at a "very senior level" and then by a "small group."

Crooked Dem Senator Mark Warner Lashes Out at AG Bill Barr Following Trump's Declassification Order
President Trump really sent the rats scurrying with his declassification order - every corrupt official involved in Spygate is panicking.
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) lashed out at Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr on Friday following the President's declassification order of Spygate documents.
The incredibly corrupt Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Panel accused Bill Barr of "selectively releasing information" in order to mislead the American people.
"We still don't have the full Mueller report, so of course the President gives sweeping declassification powers to an Attorney General who has already shown that he has no problem selectively releasing information in order to mislead the American people," Mark Warner said in a tweet Friday morning.
We still don't have the full Mueller report, so of course the President gives sweeping declassification powers to an Attorney General who has already shown that he has no problem selectively releasing information in order to mislead the American people.
- Mark Warner (@MarkWarner) May 24, 2019
President Trump stunned the Deep State-media complex Thursday evening when he ordered declassification of the intelligence related to the spying on his presidential campaign in 2016.
President Trump on Thursday evening announced that at the recommendation of Attorney General Bill Barr, he has directed the Intel Community to quickly and fully cooperate with Barr's investigation into surveillance activities.
The first batch of declassification documents are said to include the 'bucket 5' - FBI documents of recorded conversations exonerating Trump campaign officials George Papadopoulos and Carter Page prior to the FBI obtaining their first FISA warrant.
Mark Warner's panel investigated so-called 'Trump-Russia collusion' for over two years so he knows there was no such conspiracy.
Trump's declassification order will expose the truth which is why Warner, who tried to set up a secret backchannel to dossier author Christopher Steele is panicking.

Federal Rats Are Fleeing the Sinking Collusion Ship
The entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative was always implausible.
One, the Washington swamp of fixers such as Paul Manafort and John and Tony Podesta was mostly bipartisan and predated Trump.
Two, the Trump administration's Russia policies were far tougher on Vladimir Putin than were those of Barack Obama. Trump confronted Russia in Syria, upped defense spending, increased sanctions and kept the price of oil down through massive new U.S. energy production. He did not engineer a Russian "reset" or get caught on a hot mic offering a self-interested hiatus in tensions with Russia in order to help his own re-election bid.
Three, Russia has a long history of trying to warp U.S. elections that both predated Trump and earned only prior lukewarm pushback from the Obama administration.
It's also worth remembering that President Bill Clinton and the Clinton Foundation had been recipients of Russian and Russian-related largesse-ostensibly because Hillary Clinton had used her influence as Secretary of State under Obama to ease resistance to Russian acquisitions of North American uranium holdings.
As far as alleged Russian collusion goes, Hillary Clinton used three firewalls-the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm and the Fusion GPS strategic intelligence firm-to hide her campaign's payments to British national Christopher Steele to find dirt on Trump and his campaign; in other words, to collude. Steele in turn collected his purchased Russian sources to aggregate unverified allegations against Trump. He then spread the gossip within government agencies to ensure that the smears were leaked to the media-and with a government seal of approval.

Yes possibly, but it looks like it's all over for her, politically. This is the text of a Daily Telegraph article which we now know is untrue. It's the narrative the UK msm continues to push; a couragous, brave Mr Steele risking his own saferty to do the right thing and bring this important information to those higher than himself.

'The detached house on a suburban street in Wimbledon was an incongruous venue for a meeting about spies, secrets and the incoming president of the United States.
But it was here, at a £1.7 million South London home, that former MI6 agent Christopher Steele came a week after Donald Trump's shock election victory in November 2016 on what he saw as a mission of national security.
For months Mr Steele, once in charge of MI6's Russia desk but now approaching a decade out of the service, had been grappling with astonishing intelligence he had collated about the Trump campaign.
Contracted by a Washington DC-based research firm to investigate Mr Trump before the election, Mr Steele had put feelers out to around 20 sources about his Russia ties that summer and autumn.

The Telegraph has published two separate articles detailing their version of when the heads of UK intelligence were briefed about a dossier of claims about President Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia.
According to The Telegraph, the UK spy chiefs were briefed about the dossier-written by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele-before Trump was made aware of its existence by former FBI Director James Comey, but, notably, after the 2016 presidential election had taken place:
"The heads of MI5 and MI6 and one of [Prime Minister Theresa] May's most trusted security advisers were told about former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele's memos on the Trump campaign in the weeks after his November 2016 election victory."
The Telegraph article goes to significant lengths to make two separate points: that UK intelligence heads were briefed on Steele's information only after the 2016 presidential election had concluded, and that May was never directly informed of the dossier's existence. Interestingly, the article points out that the prime minister "may have known Mr. Steele" from the UK's inquiry into the poisoning death of Russian defector Alexander Litvinenko, when May was home secretary.
The Telegraph also noted the involvement of Charles Farr, the former chairman of Britain's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC). The role of the JIC is to "assess events and situations relating to external affairs, defence, terrorism [and] major international criminal activity." The JIC is also responsible for the "liaison with Commonwealth and foreign intelligence organisations."
The JIC's website specifically notes that "members of the Committee are to bring to the attention of their ministers and departments, as appropriate, assessments that appear to require operational, planning or policy action."
The Telegraph reported that Steele met with Farr on two separate occasions to inform him of the events and information contained within his dossier. The two men, both former MI6 agents, had known each other for decades. The first meeting was reported as being one week after the 2016 presidential election in mid-November 2016:
"Together, they looked at what Mr. Steele had brought-more than a dozen memos originally sent to his client, Fusion GPS, spelling out in detail the alleged Trump-Kremlin links.
"For hours, the pair worked through the information-now collectively known as the 'Steele dossier'-line by line.
"Farr would ask questions, Mr. Steele would spell out what he knew."
According to The Telegraph article, by the end of his first meeting with Steele, Farr had decided that the allegations within the Steele dossier "had to go up the chain of command."
"Within days, according to well-placed sources, the allegations were shared with the most senior intelligence figures in the country," The Telegraph reported.
"It is understood that Alex Younger, the MI6 chief, and Andrew Parker, the MI5 director general, were informed of the dossier."
The article also referenced a second meeting with Farr in late November 2016, approximately 10 days after the alleged date of their first meeting. The two men met again for follow-up questioning and to discuss the addition of two new memos written by Steele, one of which reportedly detailed "how the Russians were allegedly trying to block Mitt Romney's possible appointment as US secretary of state." It was also around this time that the heads of MI6 and MI5 were allegedly briefed on the dossier.

Nunes To Trump: Ask Theresa May About Brits' Handling Of Steele Dossier
The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee is calling on President Donald Trump to press British Prime Minister Theresa May about the British government's handling of the Steele dossier.
California Rep. Devin Nunes also called on Trump in a letter to ask May whether the British government was aware of or took part in surveillance efforts against members of the Trump campaign.
Trump is expected to make a state visit to the U.K. in June.
The trigger for Nunes's letter was a report published in the British press Sunday that Christopher Steele, a former MI6 officer, briefed high-level British government officials about his investigation into possible ties between Trump and the Russian government.
The U.K. Telegraph reported that a week after Trump's election win, Steele briefed Sir Charles Farr, who then chaired Britain's Joint Intelligence Committee, about his investigation of Trump's possible ties to Russia.
Farr passed the information to other high-level British intelligence officials, including MI5 director Andrew Parker and MI6 director Alex Younger. According to the Telegraph, the prime minister was not briefed on the information.
Nunes asserted in his letter, which was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, that the report raises "important questions" about the British government's role in "spreading the dossier's false allegations and what actions they may have taken in response to the allegations."
Nunes has led the Republican effort to investigate the FBI's handling of the dossier, which was used to obtain surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans have cried foul because Steele's dossier was unverified when cited by the FBI. It was also funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC.
Steele's 35-page report has been all but debunked by the special counsel's report, which found no evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Kremlin.
"To better understand these matters, I respectfully request that you ask Prime Minster May about the British government's knowledge of the Steele dossier and whether the British government took any unilateral actions based on information provided by Steele or at the request of any U.S. departments or agencies," Nunes wrote in the letter.
Nunes listed seven areas he hopes Trump will discuss with May.
He wants to find out if any British officials tasked Steele with gathering additional information on Trump, as well as whether British intelligence discussed Steele with their American counterparts.
One question listed by Nunes could cause some stress on the U.S.-U.K. relationship.

John Solomon Files Motion Asking FISA Court to Unseal Evidence of Wrongdoing in Russia Collusion Case
Award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon filed a motion on Wednesday asking the FISA court to unseal evidence of wrongdoing or disciplinary actions in the Russia collusion case.
The Southeastern Legal Foundation released a statement on Wednesday.
Southeastern Legal Foundation filed a Motion for Publication of Records with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) on behalf of award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon and itself, seeking rulings, orders and opinions issued by the Court finding any of the attorneys associated with the Carter Page FISA applications violated rules of the Court or rules governing professional conduct by attorneys.
Southeastern Legal Foundation successfully pursued Bar sanctions against sitting President Bill Clinton, ultimately resulting in the surrender of his law license on the last day in office and disbarment by the U.S. Supreme Court (1998-2001) as part of the Agreed Order of Discipline from Independent Counsel Robert Ray. Click here for more information on the Clinton matter.
"We face a serious crisis of public confidence in our judicial system. Our nation's highest law enforcement officers and government attorneys are suspected of lying, misleading and withholding information from the FISC in order to obtain permission to conduct surveillance on U.S. citizen Carter Page," said Todd Young, SLF executive director. "If true, even in part, one of the most profound ways to help re-establish public trust in the rule of law is to hold these attorneys professionally and publicly accountable for their alleged grievous violations of the law and public trust."
John Solomon has been working around the clock to obtain documents related to Spygate and has released one hard-hitting article after another exposing the Deep State cabal who targeted Trump's 2016 presidential campaign.
The FBI obtained a FISA warrant and three renewals on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page to spy on Trump and his transition team.
The first FISA warrant on Mr. Page was obtained in October of 2016 and the 4th and final warrant was granted in June of 2017.
Hillary Clinton's phony Russia dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele formed an essential role in obtaining the FISA warrant on Page.
In fact, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said under oath, if not for the Russia dosser, the FBI would never have sought a FISA warrant on Page.
Thanks to John Solomon's reporting, we now know that Steele and his phony claims were 'red-flagged' by State Department official Kathleen Kavalec 11 days before the first FISA warrant was granted on Carter Page.
Kavalec then sent the red flag warning to senior FBI official Stephen Laycock one week before the FISA warrant was obtained.
What did the FISA judges know? It's time for more transparency on what the FISA judges knew and if they took any disciplinary actions.

"Finally, a DOCUMENTED admission of guilt. Summed up in an official Obama-era State Department document. And you wonder how Mueller's investigative team missed it.

If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI's secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump's campaign, it sat buried for more than 2 1/2 years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele's now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's ties to Russia.

PART 2
"Did Christopher Steele inform any current or former British intelligence or government officials about the allegations he put forward in the Steele dossier or any other allegations about President Trump or Trump campaign associates colluding with Russians? If so, describe what action British officials took in response to this information."CIA, FBI and DNI work with Attorney General Bill Barr to determine the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andy McCarthy says that Inspector General Michael Horowitz's oversight investigation is not a 'fishing expedition.'And a follow-up: "Did any current or former British intelligence or government officials discuss with Christopher Steele the possibility of Steele writing additional memos about President Trump or Trump associates colluding with Russians? If so, what guidance did British officials give to Steele and when was this guidance provided?"
Nunes also sought to probe any possible coordination between U.S. and British officials."Did any current or former U.S. government or intelligence officials inform any current or former British government or intelligence officials about Steele's allegations or any other allegations about President Trump or Trump campaign associates colluding with Russians, if other such allegations exist? If so, describe the circumstances and timing of this communication and any resulting action that was taken," Nunes wrote.As Trump's own Justice Department launches a review into the origins of the Russia probes, Nunes' letter suggests the hunt for details could lead overseas. He also asked whether any British officials relayed "classified or unclassified information to any current or former U.S. officials about alleged contacts between Trump associates and suspected Russian intelligence officials, if any such information exists?"
Nunes concluded: "Did any current or former British officials provide an assessment of Christopher Steele, including a determination of his credibility or motivations, to any current or former U.S. intelligence, law enforcement, or government officials, or presidential transition team members?"

The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday urged President Trump to ask Prime Minister Theresa May whether British officials supported intelligence-gathering activities targeted at his campaign associates or coordinated in any way with the author of the unverified Trump "dossier" – as the president prepares to make a state visit to Britain in June.
"I respectfully request that you ask Prime Minister May about the British government's knowledge of the Steele dossier and whether the British government took any unilateral actions based on information provided by [Christopher] Steele or at the request of any U.S. departments," California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes wrote in a letter to Trump, exclusively obtained by Fox News.
Nunes cited a May 19 article in The Telegraph titled, "Theresa May's spy chiefs were briefed on explosive Christopher Steele dossier before Donald Trump." The report said the heads of MI5 and MI6 and a top May adviser were told about Steele's salacious memos on the Trump campaign after his 2016 election victory – before Trump was made aware.
Saying the article raised "important questions about the potential role foreign government officials may have played in spreading the dossier's false allegations and what actions they may have taken in response to the allegations," Nunes posed a series of questions for Trump to ask May.
"Is the British government aware of, did it give permission for, or did it participate in, activities by any government to surveil or otherwise target active or former associates of the Trump campaign, if any such surveillance activities took place?" Nunes wrote.
Another proposed question reads: "Describe any communications or relationship, if any, Joseph Mifsud … has had with British intelligence and any information the British government possesses about Mifsud's connection to any other government or intelligence agency."Nunes, who has access to classified records on the matter, has been at the forefront of investigating the genesis of the Trump-Russia collusion probe. Trump told Fox News earlier this month that he would declassify related materials soon.Earlier this week, Nunes told Fox News that the FBI had "something to hide" concerning Mifsud, a Maltese academic who allegedly told former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos in April 2016 that Russia had damaging information about Trump's rival Hillary Clinton, eventually touching off the original FBI probe. Papadopoulos has accused Mifsud of acting as one of many spies intent on corroborating "bad intelligence."George Papadopoulos (left) pleaded guilty in October to lying to the FBI about his conversations with Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud (right).
"He is the first person that we know of on earth that supposedly knows something about the Russians having Hillary's emails," Nunes told "Fox News @ Night." "He has since denied that, but [Special Counsel Robert] Mueller in his report claimed that Mifsud – or insinuated that Mifsud – was some sort of Russian asset. We know that this is not the case. In fact, we know that he was in the U.S. Capitol … just steps away from an intelligence committee."
Nunes' letter to Trump also drills down on how deeply reliant the intelligence community was on Steele, whose dossier played a central role in obtaining a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to monitor former Trump aide Carter Page.
A report from The Hill's John Solomon earlier this month found that the FBI was told that Steele had admitted to a contact at the State Department that he was "keen" to leak the dossier for purposes of influencing the 2016 election. The State Department official, further, raised concerns about the accuracy of his claims. Steele also acknowledged the dossier was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton campaign. The FBI did not make either fact clear to the FISA court.Additionally, on four occasions, the FBI told the FISA court that it "did not believe" Steele was the direct source for a Yahoo News article implicating Page in Russian collusion. But London court records show that contrary to the FBI's assessments, Steele briefed Yahoo News and other reporters in the fall of 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS – the opposition research firm behind the dossier.Reads one question in Nunes' letter:
Two articles in two days: Yesterday Tim Fitton's article about UK's involvement in spying on POTUS and now Nunes is wanting PDJT to ask May about her country's involvement in the same.

why would the UK govt have to give approval to interview Steele unless he was currently still working for the UK govt or worked with the UK govt to create dossier and keep Trump from getting elected???
The British Government gave approval for US investigators to interview a former MI6 agent over his dossier detailing Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia, it can be disclosed.
Christopher Steele, who wrote the dossier, was interviewed in London by US officials working with Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russian interference in the US presidential election.
According to well-placed sources, the UK Government gave the greenlight to the officials to travel to London to record Mr Steele's testimony.

But the Washington Post story also reports Rogers was "reluctant to view" the intelligence that Brennan used to justify his investigation "with high confidence" because it came from another country. The Steele dossier is, of course, named after former British spy Christopher Steele, who authored the 17 memos it comprises. According to a November 15, 2017 story in the Guardian, Brennan received the report used to justify his investigation from none other than British intelligence agency GCHQ's then head, Robert Hannigan, who "flew to the US to personally brief CIA chief John Brennan."

The Deep State's 'Insurance Policy' Was Obstruction - But President Trump Never Obstructed and Crushed Obama's Deep State!
The Deep State players in the FBI left a clue of their plans when they called what they were doing an 'Insurance Policy'. Their plans were to catch President Trump obstructing their fraudulent investigation. But the President outsmarted them and by not obstructing ended their soft coup!
As previously reported, a portion of the approximately 10,000 texts messages sent between FBI agent Peter Strzok and lawyer Lisa Page were released in 2017. Among the messages is an exchange revealing Strzok and Page discussed an 'insurance policy,' against a Trump presidency.
The text from Peter Strzok to Lisa Page said this:
I want to believe the path u threw out 4 consideration in Andy's office-that there's no way he gets elected-but I'm afraid we can't take that risk.It's like an insurance policy in unlikely event u die be4 you're 40."
There has been much speculation as to what exactly the insurance policy was that Strzok and Page were discussing. Some suspect that it was the fake dossier created by former MI6 Agent and Trump hater Christopher Steele that the FBI used to obtain the warrant to spy on the Trump campaign and administration via a Carter Page warrant.
Others suggest that the insurance policy may have been the Mueller investigation. It may have been all of the above that were created to take the focus off of Obama's crimes and the Deep State.
But what we believe is that the 'insurance policy' most likely was the attempt to frame the President and lure him into an obstruction charge.
This makes sense when you review the activities that led up to today. For starters, Obama's Deep State and its leaders in the FBI, DOJ, State Department and CIA were all working overtime to obtain the FISA warrant to spy on Trump. Hillary Clinton was tied to the Uranium One scandal and she was also skating by after the bogus investigation into her emails. Obama and Hillary had to do something so they decided to go on the attack and frame Donald Trump.
They started by spying on candidate Trump and his team. They did this across Europe and in the United States. They even spied on Trump in Trump Tower in New York City. But President Trump found this out and tweeted about it in the first months of his administration -
Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 4, 2017
Next the Deep State set in motion the most corrupt actions in US history. They fed fake news to the media who gladly repeated it. All of it was anti-Trump propaganda. They leaked information to the press, some real and much fake, that added to the media's Trump frenzy.
They used the US Intel apparatus to spy on the President and his team. The next big move was to get the President's Attorney General to recuse himself from just about everything and then encourage the DOJ to hire their corrupt guy to run the DOJ, Rod Rosenstein, the Deputy AG. Rosenstein did a masterful job in redacting anything that Congress would ask for related to their coup, so much so that he was soon known as Rod Redactenstein.

"Finally, a DOCUMENTED admission of guilt. Summed up in an official Obama-era State Department document. And you wonder how Mueller's investigative team missed it.

And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele's now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's ties to Russia.

The most recent addition came last week when news broke that Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec met with dossier author Christopher Steele on October 11, 2016-two weeks before the DOJ and FBI relied on the Steele dossier to obtain a FISA surveillance order targeting Page.
Notes Kavalec took memorializing her meeting with the former MI6 spy, and reports that Kavalec shared with the FBI details of her confab with Steele, provide more proof that Obama administration officials and career DOJ and FBI employees abused the FISA court process.

Nunes "Likely" to Send Another Criminal Referral Over Steele Meeting with State Dept
by Team Bongino
May 21, 2019
Ranking House Intelligence Committee member Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) said it was "likely" he would send another criminal referral to the Department of Justice relating to a meeting between the State Department and anti-Trump dossier author, Christopher Steele.
Speaking to Fox News yesterday, the Washington Examiner reports that Nunes said notes from State Department official Kathleen Kavalec about her October 2016 meeting with Steele were withheld from the House Intelligence Committee during its investigation into Russian meddling in the presidential election.
"It's likely now, as we do our investigation as to why we didn't get this information that we've just been discussing from the State Department two years ago when we should have received it, there could be another referral coming on obstruction a congressional investigation," he said.
Matt Palumbo of Bongino.com detailed the contents of Kavalec's notes last week:
The State Department's Deputy Assistant Secretary Kathleen Kavalac interviewed Steele on October 11th, which she chronicled in handwritten notes that were later typed and given to the FBI. Thanks for a Freedom of Information Act request from 'Citizens United" these notes were unearthed. In those notes, Kavalec detailed Steele's story of how Russians constructed a "technical/human operation run out of Moscow targeting the election" that recruited emigres in the United States to "do hacking and recruiting."
Steele also said that "Payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami," which leads Kavalec to make a note that "there is no Russian consulate in Miami." That's only the first comment Kavalec must have seen as damaging to Steele's credibility.
Kavalec made note of comments that indicated Steele was speaking to the media (a cardinal sin for those working with the FBI, and a violation of his confidentiality agreement. It's interesting that Steele was eventually fired by the FBI for speaking to the press, but not until after they got the FISA they wanted)....
Kavalec also made note of Steele's obvious political motivations, noting that Steele's client (Fusion GPS) "is keen to see this information come to light prior to the November 8 [the election]." She also noted that "Orbis [Steele's firm] undertook the investigation into the Russia/Trump connection at the behest of an institution he declined to identify that had been hacked.

Loretta Lynch: Obama never ordered politically motivated infiltration of Trump campaign
Testifying under oath before lawmakers late last year, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch denied getting any instruction by President Barack Obama or his administration to investigate the Trump campaign for political purposes. Appearing before a joint task force of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, Lynch was asked if she believed the Justice Department or FBI ever got political in their handling of the inquiry, which began as a counterintelligence investigation in the summer of 2016. "I know that they did not," Lynch said on Dec. 19.
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., who is now the House Judiciary chairman, asked: "Did President Obama, or anyone in his administration, ever make a demand or request that the FBI or DOJ infiltrate or surveil the Trump campaign for political purposes?" Lynch gave a one-word answer: "Never." Asked how she would react if she had received such a request, Lynch said, "I would have declined it and told them how inappropriate it was." Lynch also denied that she ever made any law enforcement decisions at the Justice Department that were for political reasons, including in regards to the Hillary Clinton email investigation.
The transcript of the interview was released Monday evening by House Judiciary ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., giving a look into the private testimony given for a GOP-led inquiry into potential bias in the Justice Department and the FBI at a time when there is a debate about whether there was "spying" on Trump's campaign with the use of wiretapping and informants. Although Republicans have lost control of the House, there is now a multi-pronged effort to root out any misconduct by the Obama administration in the heat of the 2016 election.
The FBI launched its original counterintelligence investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, in July 2016. It was prompted by Australian diplomat Alexander Downer informing the FBI that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos told him Russia had damaging information on Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival in the 2016 election. Attorney General William Barr has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to review the origins of the counterintelligence investigation, which was later wrapped into special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Mueller's report shows his team could not find sufficient evidence to establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Republican investigators have charged that there was a politically motivated reason to investigate President Trump and his team. House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said last week that Mueller "knew the day that he walked in the door there was no evidence of the Trump campaign colluding with Russians." Mueller was appointed as special counsel in May 2017, eight days after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.
GOP lawmakers have also raised the alarm about the FBI's use of an unverified dossier to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Several top-level Obama officials, including Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan, have come under the crosshairs for potential misconduct for their treatment of the dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele.

EXCLUSIVE: Testimony by FBI Lawyer Trisha Anderson Reveals Extensive Role in Trump, Clinton Investigations
A key player in the FBI's counterintelligence investigation of Donald Trump and his 2016 presidential campaign was Trisha Anderson, who, at the time, was the No. 2 lawyer at the agency's Office of General Counsel.
Despite having no specific experience in counterintelligence before coming to the FBI, Anderson was, in some manner, involved in virtually all of the significant events of the investigation.
Anderson told members of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees in August last year during closed-door testimony that she was one of only about 10 people who had known about the Trump-Russia investigation prior to its official opening.
A transcript of Anderson's testimony, which was reviewed for this article, reveals that she had read all of the FBI's FD302 forms detailing information that the author of the Steele dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele, had provided to high-ranking Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr.

Democrats colluded with Russian Intelligence to introduce disinformation into our court system to spy on political opponents
Using a Information Laundering Parallel Construction
greetings frens. I put together this little chart based on Dan Bongino's episode 982 which was a breakdown of the FISA scandal. It was important to note because Bongino and his team had dug up the names of the mysterious Russian intel officials who originally supplied the information to Stefan Halper. (Vladislav Surkov & Vyacheslav Trubnikov). He then goes through and methodically spells it all out and how everything is connected. It was a great episode and I encourage all you faggots to watch it.
So here's the breakdown (which we've already known)…CIA Director John Brennan ran an information laundering scheme using disinformation from Russian intelligence officials connected to Putin to get the US Government to spy on presidential candidate Trump.
FBI officials were getting the story from Central Intelligence (Brennen) about Russian involvement in the Trump campaign through Stefan Halper who was getting the info from the Russians. They were also getting a similar story from ex-spy Christopher Steele who was getting the info from the same Russians. The information was laundered through different channels (Steele & Halper), and they tried to hide the source of the original information. A parallel construction scheme.
Corroborating stories gave a seemingly credible reason to open an investigation and obtain FISA warrants.
But we knew it was all bullshit.

"Prison-bound barrister and admitted serial liar Michael Cohen maintained Thursday he's never been to Prague, pushing back on a report that his cell phone was detected in the Czech capital at the peak of the 2016 presidential campaign.
"I hear Prague, Czech Republic is beautiful in the summertime," the disgraced personal attorney and fixer to President Trump tweeted. "I wouldn't know as I have never been."
In a cryptic reference to the special counsel investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, Cohen added, "Mueller knows everything!"
Cohen's alleged Prague visit in August or September 2016 has been a topic of widespread interest since ex-British spy Christopher Steele claimed in a dossier released last year that the former Trump fixer went to the eastern European city to meet with Kremlin officials who wanted to cover up the tracks of a pre-election collusion scheme between Russia and the Trump campaign."

Trey Gowdy: Brennan, Clapper and Comey know full well dossier was used in the intelligence assessment
Former congressman Trey Gowdy talked to Maria Bartiromo Sunday and discussed the infamous Christopher Steele Dossier, what it is and why it is important find the extent of its use.
"I mean people use the word dossier and how such an official sound to it. I mean let's just call it for what it is. It's a series of rank hearsay compilations put together by an FBI source who was later defrocked. Paid for by the Democrat National Committee then oh by the way Christopher Steele hated Donald Trump too so that we can call it a dossier. It sounds official," Gowdy said on "Sunday Morning Futures."
"What we're trying to figure out is whether or not it was used a fifth time and the intelligence assessment and you got Brennan, Clapper and Comey all three who know full well whether or not it was used in the intelligence assessment but… they're giving you different versions, right," Gowdy said.
"So there is information that exist in December of 2016 and I hope anyone who has access to it… Senator Burr, Durbin, whoever is open minded. Go look at that. And I think it will help you understand whether or not that dossier, that unverified hearsay, was used… five times or just four times by the United States government is pretty bad.

Devin Nunes 'likely' sending obstruction criminal referral over Steele-State Department meeting
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said on Sunday that he may send another criminal referral to the Justice Department. During an interview on Fox News, Nunes said notes about a meeting between Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and a State Department official were withheld from the House Intelligence Committee during its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election that wrapped up last year.
"It's likely now, as we do our investigation as to why we didn't get this information that we've just been discussing from the State Department two years ago when we should have received it, there could be another referral coming on obstruction a congressional investigation," he said. Newly released notes from an Oct. 11, 2016, meeting between Steele and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec cast doubt on the reliability of his dossier and called into question the information provided to the court in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application that was submitted later that month against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The notes, which Kavalec is believed to have emailed to the FBI in mid-October, indicate that Steele knew he had been hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee and had been told they wanted his findings made public prior to the 2016 election on Nov. 8.
The Daily Caller reported the notes show Steele identified Russian sources, including former Russian foreign intelligence director Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nunes said Clinton's campaign and the DNC "plainly colluded" with the Russians to receive and disseminate false information about Trump.
Last month, Nunes notified the Justice Department of "several potential violations of the law" in eight criminal referrals as part of an investigation into origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The notes from the Steele-Kavalec meeting came out after special counsel Robert Mueller found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The House Intelligence Committee found no Trump-Russia collusion in its assessment. Attorney General William Barr has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham from Connecticut with reviewing the origins of the federal Russia investigation.

Five days a week, TDIP emails a newsletter to influential Democrats and prominent Beltway journalists under the heading "TDIP Research"-which summarizes the latest "collusion" news, and offers "points of interest" to inspire fresh stories regarding President Trump's alleged ties to Moscow.
Recipients of the TDIP reports include staffers at the New York Times and Washington Post and investigative reporters at BuzzFeed, ProPublica and McClatchy, as well as news producers at CNN and MSNBC, according to a source familiar with the project's email distribution list. Democratic aides on Capitol Hill also subscribe to the newsletter.
The briefings typically run several pages and include an "Executive Summary" and links to court documents and congressional testimony, letters, and memos, as well as new articles and videos.
TDIP is led by Daniel J. Jones, a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and top staffer to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It employs the key opposition-research figures behind the salacious and unverified dossier: Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and ex-British intelligence officer Christopher Steele. Its financial backers include the actor/director Rob Reiner and billionaire activist George Soros.

The other Trump Tower meeting: Barr looking into leaks after Comey briefed Trump on dossier
The phrase "the Trump Tower meeting" has become synonymous with the controversial June 9, 2016 meeting between senior members of the Trump campaign and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya and others, but Attorney General William Barr says he is looking into another Trump Tower gathering - when then-FBI Director James Comey briefed President-elect Trump on some of the most salacious allegations in the so-called Steele dossier in January 2017 in New York City. In an interview with Fox News that aired Friday, Barr said "one of the things we want to look into" is "the handling of the meeting on January 6, 2017 between the intelligence chiefs and the President and the leaking of information subsequent to that meeting." The allegation that Russia had possible compromising information on Trump was leaked by unknown persons to the press and led to the dossier being published by BuzzFeed just a few days later. Republicans have been calling for investigations into possible politically motivated criminal leaks of classified information for years now.
The meeting between Trump, Comey, and other top intelligence officials took place on Jan. 6, 2017, and it was quickly leaked to the press. Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, CIA Director John Brennan, and Comey briefed Trump on the intelligence community's assessment that Russia had interfered in the 2016 election, but Comey stayed behind after the meeting to tell Trump about some of the dossier's claims. Days later, on the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2017, CNN ran a story about the meeting titled "Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him." Later that evening, BuzzFeed posted Steele's dossier online with the title "These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia." While demurring on what questions he had about the January 2017 meeting, Barr emphasized that "it's one of the things we need to look at." "We're still at the stage of gathering all the information," Barr added.
Earlier this week, former FBI General Counsel James Baker admitted that the bureau was worried that Comey would appear to be "blackmailing" Trump during the January 2017 briefing at Trump Tower on the allegations in the dossier written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele. The dossier, packed with unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia, formed a key part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications used to justify surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Steele was working for Fusion GPS which was receiving funding through the Perkins Coie law firm from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee - facts that were not communicated to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
Baker said that prior to Comey's meeting with Trump, the FBI was "quite worried" that it might seem like J. Edgar Hoover-style "blackmail" if Comey told Trump about the salacious claims in the dossier, which Comey ended up doing. "Jim [Comey] and I had talked many times about the Hoover days, especially the investigation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., what was done there, the blackmailing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," Baker said. "So yeah, we were quite worried about that, quite worried about how that would come off."
Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani called Comey a "jackass" over his handling of the dossier and also compared Comey to J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of the FBI. Giuliani criticized Comey's decision to tell Trump about the claims in the dossier - like allegations related to prostitutes in a hotel room in Moscow - during their private discussion in January 2017. "That whole thing with going up to Trump and telling him about the Steele dossier ... that wasn't being a Hoover?" Giuliani asked rhetorically. The FBI's handling of the Steele dossier has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks, and there are at least three federal investigations into alleged FISA abuse and other matters related to the way that the FBI and DOJ conducted the Trump-Russia investigation.

Barr: Mueller did not look into origins of Trump-Russia investigation
Attorney General William Barr made it clear that special counsel Robert Mueller did not review how the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation was handled by the Justice Department and the FBI. During a Fox News interview that aired Friday, Barr said "no one has really looked at it" and pointed out that Mueller was focused just on investigating Russian election interference and the possible involvement of President Trump's 2016 campaign. "The fact of the matter is Bob Mueller did not look at the government's activities," Barr said in an interview that aired Friday. "He was looking at whether or not the Trump campaign had conspired with the Russians. He was not going back and looking at the counter intelligence program."
The FBI launched its original counterintelligence investigation, called Crossfire Hurricane, in July 2016. It was prompted by Australian diplomat Alexander Downer informing the FBI that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos told him Russia had damaging information on Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival in the 2016 election. That counterintelligence investigation was wrapped into Mueller's effort after he was appointed in May 2017. Mueller concluded that Russia used cyberattacks and social media disinformation campaigns to interfere in 2016, but he did not establish any sort of criminal conspiracy between the Russians and the Trump campaign. Republicans have long alleged that the launching of the investigation into Trump in 2016 was influenced by politics and that the probe itself was rife with misconduct.
Barr said that "there is a misconception out there that we know a lot about what happened." Barr said that there were "a number of investigations underway that touch upon it", including DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz's investigation into possible Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuse, but so far "no one has really looked across the whole waterfront." Barr has also tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham to review the origins of the federal Russia investigation. Barr said his first step is to "find out exactly what happened" which he plans to do by "getting all the relevant information from the various agencies and starting to talk to some of the people that have information." "If we're worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason, we should be worried about whether government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale," Barr said.
Barr also pointed out that the handling of the Trump-Russia investigation was unusual in a number of ways, especially the fact that it was being managed at the highest levels of the DOJ and FBI. "It wasn't handled in the ordinary way that investigations or counter intelligence activities are conducted," Barr said. "It was sort of an ad hoc small group. Most of these people are no longer with the FBI or the CIA or the other agencies involved."
James Comey, the head of the FBI at the time, was fired by Trump in May 2017. Andrew McCabe, the former deputy director, was fired by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions in March 2018. Peter Strzok, the FBI's former Counterespionage Section chief, was fired by FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich in August 2018. James Baker, the former FBI general counsel, was reassigned and eventually left the bureau. The FBI's handling of the dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele has come under increased scrutiny in recent weeks. The Steele dossier, filled with salacious and unverified allegations, was used in FISA applications to justify surveillance against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Both Comey and Baker have defended their handling of the dossier in recent days.

Q Research General #8335 The IG Report Now In Staff Review Edition
Barr on Trump-Russia investigation: 'We have to find out what the government was doing'
Attorney General William Barr wants to know what government officials were doing at the start of the Trump-Russia investigation. "If we're worried about foreign influence, for the very same reason, we should be worried about whether government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale," Barr said in a Fox News interview set to air Friday. "And so I'm not saying that happened, but I am saying we have to look at that."
Barr is investigating whether the Department of Justice and FBI acted appropriately at the beginning of the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. While he has "been trying to get answers to questions," he said, a lot of the answers have fallen short or "don't hang together." "In a sense, I have more questions today than when I first started," Barr said.
President Trump himself viewed the Mueller investigation with suspicion from the beginning, repeatedly calling it a politically-motivated "witch hunt." And Republicans have called for investigating the investigators for more than two years now, with those calls increasing following the conclusion of Mueller's investigation. The 448-page redacted Mueller report showed Russia had interfered in the 2016 election through cyber attacks and social media disinformation campaigns, but it did not establish that anyone on the Trump campaign engaged in a criminal conspiracy with the Russians.
Barr previously told the Senate Judiciary Committee that he is looking into the origins of the investigation into Trump, the existence of any criminal leaks from the FBI or DOJ to the media, the possibility that the salacious dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was influenced by Russian disinformation, whether the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was abused, and more. "I think people have to find out what the government was doing during that period," Barr said Thursday.

I'm sorry, I don't pay the FBI or the Mueller dossier team to go out and just get news stories to support their information.
The fact that the FBI didn't even know or never bothered to tell the FISA court that there was no Russian consulate in Miami, that's a pretty big deal. Right? And they've had to have known this. Why wouldn't they talk about Christopher Steele and how the Democrats paid for it and all the problems with it? So I have zero confidence in this Mueller dossier.

Judicial Watch: Nellie Ohr Deleted Emails Exchanged with DOJ Husband Bruce Ohr
'I'm deleting these emails now'
(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch today released an email revealing that Nellie Ohr, wife of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, informed him that she was deleting emails sent from Bruce Ohr's DOJ email account.
From: Nellie Ohr
Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2016 12:49 PM
To: Ohr, Bruce (ODAG)
Subject: Re: Analyst Russian Organized Crime - April 2016
Thanks! I'm deleting these emails now
The full email exchange is between Bruce Ohr, Lisa Holtyn, Nellie Ohr, and Stefan Bress, a first secretary at the German Embassy, and is part of 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00490)).
Nellie Ohr's email has the same subject line as an email exchange with the subject line "Analyst Russian Organized Crime - April 2016" in which Bress initiates a discussion with Bruce Ohr and his top aide, Lisa Holtyn, proffering some "Russian analysts" to discuss a variety of topics with Ohr, Holtyn, and other DOJ officials. Among those topics to be discussed is "Impact of Russian influence operations in Europe ('PsyOps/InfoWar')."
Holtyn responds with, "I haven't had a chance to confer with Bruce yet, but would certainly love to meet with the 'A Team'!" Bruce Ohr then says, "That time works for me as well." Bress then provides the personal details/passport numbers of the German analysts who will be meeting with Holtyn and Ohr. Holtyn tells Bress that the Ohr's would like to host the German delegation for dinner and notes that Joe Wheatley and Ivana Nizich (a husband/wife team of DOJ Organized Crime prosecutors and friends of the Ohr's) would join them as well.
Until he was demoted for his connection to the anti-Trump dossier, Bruce Ohr was a top official at DOJ. A House Intelligence Committee memo released by Chairman Devin Nunes said that Nellie Ohr was "employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump" and that Bruce Ohr passed the results of that research, which was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, to the FBI. The "salacious and unverified" Dossier was used to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance warrant to spy on Carter Page.
These documents are part of Nellie Ohr's and the DOJ's communications about Russia. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) recently wrote up a criminal referral concerning her testimony before Congress that she had no knowledge of what was going on during the Russia investigation at DOJ.
"This email is disturbing and suggests documents relevant to the improper targeting of President Trump were destroyed," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
This production of documents also revealed that Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.

FBI was 'worried' about J. Edgar Hoover analogies when James Comey briefed Trump on dossier
Former FBI General Counsel James Baker said the bureau was worried that former FBI Director James Comey would appear to be "blackmailing" then-President-elect Donald Trump during a January 2017 briefing at Trump Tower on some of the most salacious allegations in the dossier written by British ex-spy Christopher Steele. Sitting down with Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News for a "Skullduggery" podcast released on Wednesday, Baker said that prior to Comey's meeting with Trump, the FBI was "quite worried" that it might seem like J. Edgar Hoover-style "blackmail" if Comey told Trump about some of the more salacious claims in the dossier, which Comey ended up doing. "Jim [Comey] and I had talked many times about the Hoover days, especially the investigation of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., what was done there, the blackmailing of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.," Baker said. "So yeah, we were quite worried about that, quite worried about how that would come off." Hoover was the very first director of the FBI.
The dossier, packed with unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia, formed a key part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications used to justify surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Isikoff pointed out that Comey was "going to present to Trump the information from the Steele dossier that there are allegations that he was consorting with prostitutes in Moscow." Isikoff said that was a "pretty sensational and salacious allegation" and he asked, "Was there a full discussion about the wisdom of doing that knowing that you had not verified that allegation?" Baker said the FBI discussed it and that he believed Trump needed to be told about the allegations in the dossier. "I came down on it that it had to be briefed to the president-elect significantly because it was about to be disclosed in the press," Baker said. "To me, that was sort of the driving factor at the end of the day."
The meeting between Trump, Comey, and other top intelligence officials took place on Jan. 6, 2017, and it was quickly leaked to the press. On the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2017, CNN ran a story about the meeting titled "Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him." Later that evening, BuzzFeed posted Steele's dossier online with the title "These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia." Baker, who said that the FBI took the dossier "seriously … but not literally", defended the decision to tell Trump about some of Steele's unverified allegations. "We thought, I thought, it would be inappropriate not to brief the president-elect, because we knew about this information already to some degree," Baker said. "And for him to find out later that we knew about this and when up there and give him a briefing on a related topic and didn't at least alert him to the fact that this information was out there and that we hadn't verified it yet." Isikoff pressed Baker on this, asking, "But did you talk about how this was likely to be received by Donald Trump himself knowing who he his and what his mindset is? You're the FBI - you know, the legacy of J. Edgar Hoover blackmailing lots of people over many decades - that that is how this would come off?" Baker said the FBI's didn't want the briefing on the dossier to seem like blackmail and that Comey tried to avoid that appearance. Baker said that "we were quite worried about the [J. Edgar] Hoover analogies and were determined not to have such a disaster happen on our watch." Baker said that they tried to frame the dossier's allegations like this: "Sir, we have this information, it came to us in a particular way, the press has it, it's about to come out, you should be alerted to that fact, we don't want to proceed on this basis without you being aware of these facts."

Q Research General #8330: Thursday Morning Digs Edition
Nellie Ohr deleted emails sent from husband's DOJ account
Nellie Ohr, the wife of Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, told her husband she was deleting emails sent from his government account. The revelation comes as both Ohrs remain under intense scrutiny for their ties to Fusion GPS and British ex-spy Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier that was used to obtain warrants to wiretap a member of President Trump's 2016 campaign.
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained a series of April 2016 emails from a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Justice Department that show a correspondence between the Ohrs, an aide to Bruce Ohr named Lisa Holtyn, and Stefan Bress, a first secretary at the German Embassy. They discussed setting up a dinner for the German delegation as well as a meeting to discuss Russian organized crime. Included in a proposed agenda is the "Impact of Russian influence operations in Europe ('PsyOps/InfoWar')."
On April 20, responding to the email thread with the subject line, "Analyst Russian Organized Crime - April 2016," came the email from Nellie Ohr about deleting the emails. "Thanks! I'm deleting these emails now," she said. Bruce Ohr was an associate deputy attorney general and director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force while his wife Nellie was an independent contractor and Russia specialist.
Emails previously released by Judicial Watch show Bruce Ohr acting as an unofficial back channel between the FBI and Steele. He was demoted when it was revealed he met with Steele and Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which commissioned Steele's work. Ohr also told lawmakers his wife shared a thumb drive with him to hand over to the FBI. The dossier, which contained unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia, has been a subject of concern for GOP lawmakers, particularly for how it was used by the FBI in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant applications to gain the authority to spy on onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Nellie Ohr conducted research on connections between Russia and Trump, having been contracted by Fusion GPS.
Both Ohrs testified last year to a joint task force of the House Oversight and Judiciary committees that were investigating decisions made by the Justice Department and FBI surrounding the 2016 election. This month, Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., sent a criminal referral addressed to Attorney General William Barr, citing concerns that Nellie Ohr "knowingly provided false testimony" to lawmakers. Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said that Nellie Ohr informing her husband about deleting the emails indicates a pattern of covering up a plot against Trump. "This email is disturbing and suggests documents relevant to the improper targeting of President Trump were destroyed," Fitton said in a statement.

Judicial Watch: Nellie Ohr Deleted Emails Exchanged with DOJ Husband Bruce Ohr
(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch today released an email revealing that Nellie Ohr, wife of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, informed him that she was deleting emails sent from Bruce Ohr's DOJ email account.
From: Nellie Ohr
Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2016 12:49 PM
To: Ohr, Bruce (ODAG)
Subject: Re: Analyst Russian Organized Crime - April 2016
Thanks! I'm deleting these emails now
The full email exchange is between Bruce Ohr, Lisa Holtyn, Nellie Ohr, and Stefan Bress, a first secretary at the German Embassy, and is part of 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00490)).
Nellie Ohr's email has the same subject line as an email exchange with the subject line "Analyst Russian Organized Crime - April 2016" in which Bress initiates a discussion with Bruce Ohr and his top aide, Lisa Holtyn, proffering some "Russian analysts" to discuss a variety of topics with Ohr, Holtyn, and other DOJ officials. Among those topics to be discussed is "Impact of Russian influence operations in Europe ('PsyOps/InfoWar')."
Holtyn responds with, "I haven't had a chance to confer with Bruce yet, but would certainly love to meet with the 'A Team'!" Bruce Ohr then says, "That time works for me as well." Bress then provides the personal details/passport numbers of the German analysts who will be meeting with Holtyn and Ohr. Holtyn tells Bress that the Ohr's would like to host the German delegation for dinner and notes that Joe Wheatley and Ivana Nizich (a husband/wife team of DOJ Organized Crime prosecutors and friends of the Ohr's) would join them as well.
Until he was demoted for his connection to the anti-Trump dossier, Bruce Ohr was a top official at DOJ. A House Intelligence Committee memo released by Chairman Devin Nunes said that Nellie Ohr was "employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump" and that Bruce Ohr passed the results of that research, which was paid for by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Hillary Clinton campaign, to the FBI. The "salacious and unverified" Dossier was used to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) surveillance warrant to spy on Carter Page.
These documents are part of Nellie Ohr's and the DOJ's communications about Russia. Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) recently wrote up a criminal referral concerning her testimony before Congress that she had no knowledge of what was going on during the Russia investigation at DOJ.
"This email is disturbing and suggests documents relevant to the improper targeting of President Trump were destroyed," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
This production of documents also revealed that Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.

BOOM
"IT'S OVER… you lost"
"Some of you will wind up in handcuffs, notably, Jim Comey, Jim Baker, Andy McCabe and John Brennan. Some of you will suffer a worse fate…
"When the clear eyes of history look back on this, you will be on the wrong side of liberty, freedom and the bill of rights.
And to the media goons, lunatic hacks in the media, who tried to gas light us into believing that collusion was real and spying was fake,
know this:
"In the one moment you had to shine and save the REPUBLIC and do the right thing… you failed.
Your kids will be embarrassed by you, your grandkids will be embarrassed by you. History will use you as an example of exactly not to do when entering into the field of journalism.
You will become a STAIN on our country from this point on…
You people in the media will be remembered as accomplices in the biggest scandal in American history. You're a disgrace, a disgrace to everything this country stands for."
"I'm embarrassed for you, you disgust me."
-Dan Bongino
https://youtu.be/g7DvVg1dEBQ
"Finally, a DOCUMENTED admission of guilt. Summed up in an official Obama-era State Department document. And you wonder how Mueller's investigative team missed it.
As reported by The Hill,
If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI's secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump's campaign, it sat buried for more than 2 1/2 years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele's now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's ties to Russia.
Be still my heart. The Hill actually used the term "discredited" to describe the Steele dossier."

Judicial Watch Uncovers DOJ Records Showing Numerous Bruce Ohr Communications with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele
Ohr Repeatedly Thanked Steele for 'Updates' and Assures Steele he will 'Pass this [Information] along to my Colleagues'
(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch announced today it received 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice which reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.
The records show that Ohr served as a go-between for Steele by passing along information to "his colleagues" on matters relating to Steele's activities. Ohr also set up meetings with Steele, regularly talked to him on the telephone and provided him assistance in dealing with situations Steele was confronting with the media.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00490)). The lawsuit seeks:
All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats between Bruce Ohr and any of the following individuals/entities: former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele; owner of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson; and any other employees or representatives of Fusion GPS.

All 11 FISA Court Judges Who Approved Unlawful Spying on Trump Appointed by John Roberts
Chief Justice Roberts is responsible for all 11 FISA court Judges, who allowed illegal spy ring on Trump.
Puppet String News http://themillenniumreport.com/2018/12/all-11-fisa-court-judges-who-approved-unlawful-spying-on-trump-appointed-by-john-roberts/
Fox News Reports: In another unusual twist, the 11 judges are appointed exclusively by the Chief Justice of the United States, without any supplemental confirmation from the other two branches of government. John Roberts has named every member of the current court, as a well as a separate three-judge panel to hear appeals of FISC orders, known as the Court of Review.
The Supreme Court would theoretically have the power to hear any subsequent challenges, but the justices never have- at least not that we know. But the Electronic Privacy Information Center last week directly asked the high court to review the NSA collection of telephone communication
data. Roberts himself expressed some reservations about this judicial concept - also known by the acronym FISA - during his 2005 confirmation, one of the few times a federal judge has talked publicly about that court.
Just so everyone knows Chief Justice Roberts has been the ruling factor in blocking Trump's restrictions on asylum in the Supreme Court today, so I've decided to make some connections. Guess what I found? The revealing information through some quick research reveals the fact that Justice Roberts named every single FISA judge who currently sits on the FISA court bench. This basically means that Justice Roberts in a major way is responsible for the illegal use of the FISA court by Obama to spy on President Trump and those close to the President, as Justice Roberts named all 11 FISA Court Judges who sit on the FISA court bench.
The FISA court pretty much allowed Obama's illegal spy ring on President Trump with Foreign help, where Hillary started it with hiring Christopher Steele to write up the unverified report by Fusion GPS...Which was used illegally because unverified reports violate the FBI criminal statues to get a warrant through the FISA system. So really in a big way Chief Justice Roberts who has
been the ruling factor in blocking Trump's asylum restrictions, is pretty much responsible for the illegal use of FISA on President Trump

Comey And Brennan Appear At Odds Over Who Pushed To Include Dossier In Intel Report
A dispute is emerging between former FBI Director James Comey and former CIA Director John Brennan over who pushed to include information from the Steele dossier in an intelligence community assessment of Russian meddling.
Comey sent an email to FBI staff in December 2016 indicating that Brennan wanted to include dossier information, Fox News reported.
A former CIA official is disputing that claim, telling Fox News that it was Comey who wanted to cite the unverified Steele information.
A potential rift is emerging between James Comey and John Brennan over who pushed to include information from the unverified Steele dossier in an intelligence community assessment of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Comey, a former FBI director, sent an email to subordinates in late 2016 indicating Brennan, a former CIA director, wanted to include materials from the dossier in the intelligence community assessment, known as the ICA, Fox News reported.
A former CIA official speaking on Brennan's behalf is disputing the assertion. The former official told Fox that Brennan and James Clapper, a former director of national intelligence, opposed Comey's push to include Steele dossier information in the ICA.
The dispute pits two former intelligence community officials against each other at a time when the Justice Department is investigating how government agencies like the FBI and CIA handled the dossier, which former British spy Christopher Steele authored and the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee funded.
Republicans have accused the FBI of relying too heavily on the dossier in the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. The special counsel's report all but debunked Steele's core allegation of a "well-developed conspiracy" between the Trump team and Kremlin.
Comey referred to the dossier in the email as "the crown material," according to Fox's source. Comey confirmed in a Dec. 17, 2018 closed-door congressional interview that FBI analysts used to the term as a reference to Steele's report.
The email appears to be same one that former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy referred to in an interview Monday on Fox News as well as during Comey's congressional interview.

Q Research General #8320: Wednesday Winning Edition
Blame game pits John Brennan against James Comey over support for Steele dossier
A debate is heating up over whether it was former CIA Director John Brennan or former FBI Director James Comey who attempted to include the unverified Trump dossier in the high-profile Intelligence Community Assessment of January 2017 that focused on Russian interference. A report from Fox News on Wednesday offered competing claims, with some sources telling them that a yet-to-be-made-public email chain from late 2016 shows that "Comey told [FBI] subordinates that ... Brennan insisted the dossier be included" in the assessment, while a former CIA official "put the blame squarely on Comey." The dossier, put together by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, contained a litany of unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia and was used extensively in FISA applications before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to justify surveillance of former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. The dossier was compiled through Fusion GPS and funded in part by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and its possible misuse is the subject of inquiries through the Department of Justice.
The Fox News report cites sources that discuss a late-2016 email chain in which Comey told subordinates that Brennan insisted the dossier be incuded in the intelligence community assessment. The report also says that the dossier is called "crown material" in the emails although the meaning behind that wasn't immediately clear. A former CIA official countered this position, saying it was actually the CIA that pushed back against the FBI: "Former Director Brennan, along with former [Director of National Intelligence] James Clapper, are the ones who opposed James Comey's recommendation that the Steele Dossier be included in the intelligence report ... They opposed this because the dossier was in no way used to develop the ICA," the unnamed source said. This individual said because the dossier was uncorroborated, "Brennan and Clapper prevented it from being added into the official assessment" and "Comey then decided on his own to brief Trump about the document."
On Tuesday evening, former South Carolina congressman Trey Gowdy said that "who insisted that the dossier or the unverified material from Chris Steele be included" should be "a pretty easy thing to sort out." Gowdy said that "the only thing [Brennan and Comey] seem to share is a hatred for Donald Trump" and that "it's going to be interesting if they begin to turn on one another." Gowdy additionally said that "Comey's got a better argument than Brennan based on what I have seen" but suggested it was possible that "sometimes when people are blaming each other, they are both right."
The dossier was used in FISA filings beginning in October 2016 through June 2017, and Comey signed off on three of the four submissions to the Foreign Surveillance Court before he was fired in May 2017. Comey personally briefed Trump on some of the most salacious allegations in January 2017, and the dossier was subsequently released by BuzzFeed after CNN reported on that Trump-Comey meeting. This back-and-forth over whether it was the leadership of the CIA or FBI that was pushing for the inclusion of the dossier in the intelligence community assessment is just the latest in an ongoing saga shrouded by classified documents and anonymous sourcing.

Rep Nunes: Peter Strzok's 'insurance policy' was about Carter Page FISA warrant
by Daniel Chaitin
| May 14, 2019 1ep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., believes he has found the definition of the "insurance policy."
A text message sent by former FBI agent Peter Strzok to Lisa Page, a former FBI lawyer with whom Strzok was having an affair, in August 2016 that mentioned an "insurance policy" has long been a subject of concern among Republican investigators who believe there could have been a plot to undermine then-candidate Donald Trump.
In an interview Tuesday with Fox News, Nunes tied the "insurance policy" text to the FBI's use of an unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap Trump campaign adviser Christopher Steele.
"We believe that insurance policy is not just about investigating the Trump campaign," Nunes said. "We believe it's to ensure that they were able to get the FISA warrant on Carter Page so they could go in and look at the emails in the campaign."……

Barr Reportedly Working Closely With CIA To Review Russia Probe Origins
Attorney General William Barr is reportedly working closely with the directors of the CIA, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to review the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, as well as surveillance efforts against the Trump campaign.
According to CNN, Barr is working with CIA Director Gina Haspel, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and ODNI Director Dan Coats on the interagency review.
Barr told Congress in April that he planned to form a team within the Justice Department to investigate whether the U.S. government improperly surveilled the Trump campaign.
"I think spying did occur," Barr told the Senate Appropriations Committee on April 10.
"Yes, I think spying did occur," Barr repeated, adding, "but the question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated."
"I'm not suggesting it wasn't adequately predicated, but I need to explore that."
On Monday, it was reported that Barr appointed John Durham, the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, to investigate the matter.
The probe is running parallel to a Justice Department inspector general's investigation into the FBI's handling of surveillance warrants against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, is also reportedly investigating the FBI's use of confidential informants, including dossier author Christopher Steele and former Cambridge professor Stefan Halper.
The FBI officially began its investigation of the Trump campaign on July 31, 2016, after receiving information from the Australian government about George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser.
The bureau relied heavily on information from Steele, a former British spy, to obtain foreign intelligence surveillance warrants against Carter Page. Horowitz is investigating whether the FBI properly disclosed information about Steele and his investigation to the judges who approved the spy warrants against Page.
The FBI has also not explained why Halper, a longtime FBI informant, made contact with Page at a political event held at the University of Cambridge in England three weeks before receiving the information on Papadopoulos.
Halper was also in contact with Papadopoulos. The pair met in London in September 2016 after Papadopoulos accepted an offer of $3,000 and an all-expenses paid trip to discuss writing an academic paper on Mediterranean energy security issues.
Halper was accompanied on the operation by a woman he claimed was his assistant. But The New York Times has reported that the woman, who used the alias Azra Turk, was working as a government investigator. It is still unclear if she was working for the FBI, CIA, or another agency.
The Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Trey Gowdy tells Barr's investigator John Durham where to look
Former congressman Trey Gowdy appeared on "Hannity" Monday where he reacted to Attorney General William Barr appointing a U.S. attorney to examine the origins of the Russia investigation, saying investigators had an "easy road map."
"This is the fourth person that's been charged with investigating the origins of the Russia probe. So I'm more interested in how quickly they do it and how effectively they do it more than the numbers. If this is the right person to do it, more power to them. There's an easy road map to follow," Gowdy told host Sean Hannity.
Attorney General Bill Barr picked Durham for a reason. He is known to be a bulldog who has investigated law enforcement and the CiA. Durham is already working alongside the DOJ Inspector General and is investigating James Baker's leaks to the media to determine if they were authorized.
Durham will examine the origins of Spygate according to multiple news reports. This comes one month after Attorney General Bill Barr announced at a congressional hearing that he would review the spying of the Trump campaign.
During the discussion on 'Hannity', Trey Gowdy suggested Prosecutor John Durham look for emails between Brennan and Comey in December 2016.
"We know the origins of the Russia probe, what the Russians did to us. I want to know the origins of when bureau began to intermingle the Trump campaign with the Russia probe. You just quoted Lindsey Graham they want to stop Trump. All he was doing was quoting Peter Strzok. That's what Peter Strzok said in a text. 'No, we'll stop it.' So what are the origins then I want to know how did the FBI assess Christopher Steele? They have their own internal documents," Gowdy said.
Gowdy was asked by Hannity, if the Russian dossier was used to lie to the FISA court in order "undo a duly elected president" and take him down.
"The lead agent in charge of investigating this, said he thought Trump would be destabilizing, had an insurance policy, and promised his lover he would stop it. You answer it," Gowdy said.

Hating Donald Trump, Or How To Become A Millionaire
Robert Mueller III and his Happy Gang of Dirt Diggers
Hating Donald Trump has not only become an international past time, it's a flourishing cottage industry. Aging film stars, who haven't starred in movies for decades, comedians who can no longer tease a laugh from jaded audiences, and 'journalists' whom nobody reads are guaranteed saturation publicity, all for telling the world just how much they hate-"REALLY HATE!" Donald Trump.
A new era sprang forth when a bunch of mostly dirty-minded old men bought into the Hillary Clinton/DNC-paid for Christopher Steele dossier.
One would have to be dirty-minded to fall for the Golden Shower fable on which the entire dossier was based.
What a coincidence that prostitutes were brought in to 'golden shower' the same Moscow bed once slept in by Barack and Michelle Obama!
Most would have returned the porn magazine back to the brown paper in which it was wrapped, but not Robert Mueller III and his Happy Gang of Dirt Diggers!
You would think that the FBI, CIA and other 'Intelligence' operatives would have stopped right there. But instead they went on to a 2-year-long, $40-million Russians-stole-the-election hunt that turned up empty because the dossier itself was empty of anything but salacious gossip and porn.
Up until now, the Special Counsel of pro-Clinton lawyers, 'intelligence' operatives, the media and all of their surrogates were using the dossier to hound President Trump out of office.
Now we have disgruntled ex-FBI head James Comey suggesting Trump could be indicted when he leaves office.
"Former FBI Director James Comey suggested at a televised town hall Thursday that President Trump could be indicted after he leaves office- as the president fired back, calling Comey a "disgrace." (Fox News, May 10, 2019)

DOJ inspector general found Carter Page FISA extensions were illegally obtained, Joe diGenova says
The Justice Department inspector general has determined the three Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant extensions against onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page were illegally obtained, attorney Joe diGenova said on Thursday. In an investigation that began last year, Inspector General Michael Horowitz is examining the Justice Department's and FBI's compliance with legal requirements as well as policies and procedures in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court related to Page as part of a larger counterintelligence probe into Trump's campaign. The inspector general inquiry is expected to be completed in either late May or June, and diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said Democrats on Capitol Hill are working overtime to investigate and discredit President Trump.
"They are doing that as a diversionary tactic away from the inevitable conclusions of the DOJ inspector general, Michael Horowitz, who, by the way, we have learned has concluded that the final three FISA extensions were illegally obtained," diGenova said on Fox Business. "The only question now is whether or not the first FISA was illegally obtained." He pointed to memos, obtained by conservative group Citizens United through open-records litigation, that suggest the FBI might have misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in the first warrant application about an unverified dossier. Horowitz "apparently, as a result of those disclosures … which he was unaware of - the bureau hid those memos from Horowitz - as a result of that they're doing additional work on the first FISA. It may be that all four FISAs will have been obtained illegally," diGenova said.
The dossier, compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, contained salacious and unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia. It was used by the FBI to obtain the authority to wiretap Page, an American who had suspicious connections to the Russians. The first warrant application was submitted in October 2016, after which there were three renewals at three-month intervals, including in January, April, and June 2017. The memos obtained by Citizens United, and shared with the Washington Examiner, show Steele met with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11 and admitted he was encouraged by a client to get his research out before the 2016 election, signaling a possible political motivation. The timing of the meeting is notable, as it was 10 days before the FBI used Steele's unverified dossier to obtain the original warrant to wiretap Page.
Senate and House investigators told The Hill they too were unaware of the documents, which were given to and redacted by the FBI, and one member of Congress referred the memos to the Justice Department inspector general. "They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there's a reason for it," House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said. A memo from the House Intelligence Committee in February 2018 alleged Steele was paid over $160,000 by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign through the Perkins Coie law firm and opposition research group Fusion GPS to "obtain derogatory information on Donald Trump's ties to Russia." The memo also said the FBI never informed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of the dossier's Democratic benefactors or Steele's anti-Trump bias when it applied to spy on Page, who was investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller over his interactions with Russians but was never charged.

State Department Under Pressure Over Christopher Steele Contacts
Three Republican senators are pressing the State Department to provide information about a meeting between dossier author Christopher Steele and a State Department official before the 2016 election.
Steele met on Oct. 11, 2016 with Kathleen Kavalec.
Kavalec's notes from that meeting have been released. They show that Steele claimed he had contact with the media and that his client was "keen" to see anti-Trump information published before the election.
The State Department has largely avoided scrutiny from GOP-led investigations of the Steele dossier, but that changed this week with the release of notes that a State Department official took during an October 2016 meeting with dossier author Christopher Steele.

IG Horowitz Has 'Concluded that the Final Three FISA Extensions Were Illegally Obtained,' diGenova Says
Washington attorney Joe diGenova claimed in an interview last night that the Department of Justice inspector general has determined that "the final three FISA extensions were illegally obtained," and the first one is still being investigated.
For the past year, DOJ IG Michael Horowitz has been investigating the FBI's 2016 surveillance activities and his report is expected later this month or in early June.
Washington power couple Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing appeared on Lou Dobbs' Fox Business Network show Thursday night to talk about the latest turns in the "SpyGate" saga.
"The only question now is whether or not the first FISA was illegally obtained," diGenova said.
He told Dobbs that the latest revelations in investigative reporter John Solomon's piece at The Hill, have prompted further investigation from Horowitz's team.
On Thursday, Solomon reported that newly unearthed memos show that a high-ranking government official from the Obama State Department met with former British spy Christopher Steele in October of 2016, and figured out pretty quickly that his dossier was a political hit job intended to slime Donald Trump on behalf of Hillary Clinton's campaign.
The written account of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with Steele also shows that Steele admitted that his research was "political and facing an Election Day deadline," according to Solomon.
DiGenova said the inspector general was unaware of the memos, which were obtained last week through open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United.
"The Bureau hid those memos from Horowitz. As a result of that, they are doing some additional work on the first FISA," diGenova explained, adding: "It may be that all four FISAs will have been obtained illegally."

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/442944-fbis-Steele-story-falls-apart-false-intel-and-media-contacts-were-flagged
For those who have not already seen or heard about this:
The FBI's sworn story to a federal court about its asset, Christopher Steele, is fraying faster than a $5 souvenir T-shirt bought at a tourist trap.
Newly unearthed memos show a high-ranking government official who met with Steele in October 2016 determined some of the Donald Trump dirt that Steele was simultaneously digging up for the FBI and for Hillary Clinton's campaign was inaccurate, and likely leaked to the media.
The concerns were flagged in a typed memo and in handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on Oct. 11, 2016.
Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory.
It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele's "reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings" and the FBI has determined him to be "reliable" and was "unaware of any derogatory information pertaining" to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.
That's a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false.
In her typed summary, Kavalec wrote that Steele told her the Russians had constructed a "technical/human operation run out of Moscow targeting the election" that recruited emigres in the United States to "do hacking and recruiting."
She quoted Steele as saying, "Payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami," according to a copy of her summary memo obtained under open records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United. Kavalec bluntly debunked that assertion in a bracketed comment: "It is important to note that there is no Russian consulate in Miami."
Kavalec, two days later and well before the FISA warrant was issued, forwarded her typed summary to other government officials. The State Department has redacted the names and agencies of everyone she alerted. It is unlikely that her concerns failed to reach the FBI.

Mark Meadows: FBI 'Well Aware the Dossier Was a Lie' Before Moving to Spy on Trump Campaign
A newly-uncovered document suggests that the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ), including the FBI, was "well aware" that foreign agent Christopher Steele was trying to interfere in the 2016 presidential election with disinformation - and yet still used his materials to spy on American citizens and the Trump campaign, according to Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC).
"[O]fficials at the FBI and (Department of Justice) DOJ were well aware the dossier was a lie - from very early on in the process all the way to when they made the conscious decision to include it in a FISA application," Meadows said Tuesday in a statement to The Hill's John Solomon. "The fact that Christopher Steele and his partisan research document were treated in any way seriously by our Intelligence Community leaders amounts to malpractice."

Q Research General #8262: After Midnight We're Gonna Let It All Hang Down Edition
ALL ROADS LEAD TO ROME
Both in June and September 2016 we find the same people in Rome: Preston Ackerman, Michael Gaeta and Christopher Steele. Furthermore, in JUNE Steele would also meet Gaeta shortly thereafter in London; so which was the reason for the previous meeting in Rome?
In addition, in JUNE, according to The Guardian, Steele flew to Rome to brief (supposedly about the infamous Dossier) his FBI contact, a contact with whom he had already cooperated on FIFA. Which was the need to inform this "old contact" in Rome? And again, according to The Guardian, in September Steele went BACK to Rome to brief there the entire FBI Counter Intelligence team on his updated dossier. Who attended this meeting? Ackerman, Gaeta, Priestap, Strzok, Page… and perhaps Ramsey? Steele's dossier did not reach the FBI counterintelligence team until mid-September 2016 - exactly the time of Steele's trip to Rome. Isn't it unreasonable that the entire FBI Counter Intelligence team moves to Rome to get acknowledged of an ongoing investigation, rather than having a peripheral officer flying to headquartes to report on it? It only seems justified if there was some sort of ongoing country liason.
For this reason, what further raises eyebrows is Steele's continuous traveling to Rome. So the important question is: why Rome? Were there no available FBI contacts in the UK that could assist Steele?
Were there any ongoing activities with Italian authorities (intelligence, cyber police, prosecutors, and perhaps even politicians) in Rome? It looks impossible otherwise!

Re: Michael Cohen - is this the Michael Cohen that went to Prague; caught up in the spying?? Interesting coincidence that the Michael Cohen on the list stopped visiting the WH in August 2016 just when PDJT's Michael was supposed to have been in Prague. (Had to refresh my memory) From https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-pol-cohen-prague-trump-russia-20181227-story.html:
"Prison-bound barrister and admitted serial liar Michael Cohen maintained Thursday he's never been to Prague, pushing back on a report that his cell phone was detected in the Czech capital at the peak of the 2016 presidential campaign.
"I hear Prague, Czech Republic is beautiful in the summertime," the disgraced personal attorney and fixer to President Trump tweeted. "I wouldn't know as I have never been."
In a cryptic reference to the special counsel investigating the Trump campaign's ties to Russia, Cohen added, "Mueller knows everything!"
Cohen's alleged Prague visit in August or September 2016 has been a topic of widespread interest since ex-British spy Christopher Steele claimed in a dossier released last year that the former Trump fixer went to the eastern European city to meet with Kremlin officials who wanted to cover up the tracks of a pre-election collusion scheme between Russia and the Trump campaign."

Mueller Spent $732,000 on Outside "Contractors," But Won't Say Who.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent more than $732,000 on outside contractors, including private investigators and researchers, records show, but his office refuses to say who they were. While it's not unusual for special government offices to outsource for services such as computer support, Mueller also hired contractors to compile "investigative reports" and other "information."
The arrangement has led congressional investigators, government watchdog groups and others to speculate that the private investigators and researchers who worked for the special counsel's office might have included Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS, the private research firm that hired Steele to produce the Russia collusion dossier for the Clinton campaign.
They suspect the dossier creators may have been involved in Mueller's operation – and even had a hand in his final report – because the special counsel sent his team to London to meet with Steele within a few months of taking over the Russia collusion investigation in 2017. Also, Mueller's lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, had shared information he received from Fusion with the media.
Raising additional suspicions, Mueller's report recycles the general allegations leveled in the dossier. And taking a page from earlier surveillance-warrant applications in the Russia investigation, it cites as supporting evidence several articles – including one by Yahoo! News – that used Steele and Fusion as sources.

So anons. We constantly read that Christopher Steele was an informant for the FBI on a very important case. That case, of course, being the FIFA corruption case https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_FIFA_corruption_case .
Given that Dan Bongino showed that the "Steele" Dossier was written by Glenn Simpson in 2007 https://www.forumdaily.com/en/den-bongino-russkoe-dose-protiv-trampa-bazirovalos-na-state-the-wall-street-journal-10-letnej-davnosti/ , this is kind of hilarious.
What is the probability that Steele was given the FBI case so that he could become an informant in good standing in order to later be used in a FISA case by chance.
Given that that _actually happened_, there's definitely the possibility that it's all just happenstance. But if you're the cabal, you'd have to be functionally retarded to not have Steele's around. Comey, Buttigieg, etc. All Steele's.
Given that the FIFA case really didn't amount to much given what FIFA actually does, and considering how sloppy the cabal can be (see, e.g., Spygate), I wonder if they left any evidence that the Steele FIFA case was total bullshit? Orchestrated to create a Steele in order to be used in exactly the way he was.

JOHN SOLOMON: FBI's Steele Story Falls Apart - False Intel and Media Contacts Were Flagged 10 Days Before FISA Warrant Granted on Carter Page
The FBI's Christopher Steele sworn story to the federal court fell apart (even more) on Thursday with the release of new memos and handwritten notes taken by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on October 11, 2016.
Award-winning investigative journalist John Solomon obtained memos from a high-ranking government official who met with former British spy Christopher Steele in October of 2016, who determined that Steele's 'dirt' on Trump was inaccurate and likely leaked to the media.
Kavalec flagged this in memos and handwritten notes just 10 days before the first FISA warrant on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page was granted.
Recall, the FBI swore to the FISA judge that Christopher Steele's "reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings" and the FBI determined him to be "reliable" and was "unaware of any derogatory information pertaining" to their CHS [Confidential Human Source], who was also working for Fusion GPS, the oppo research firm paid by Hillary Clinton and Perkins Coie to dig up dirt on Trump.
One red flag Kavalec caught? Steele claimed that 'payments to those recruited by the Russians to target the election were made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami.' There's only one problem with this claim - there is no Russian Consulate in Miami.
Via John Solomon of The Hill:
In her typed summary, Kavalec wrote that Steele told her the Russians had constructed a "technical/human operation run out of Moscow targeting the election" that recruited emigres in the United States to "do hacking and recruiting."
She quoted Steele as saying, "Payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami," according to a copy of her summary memo obtained under open records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United. Kavalec bluntly debunked that assertion in a bracketed comment: "It is important to note that there is no Russian consulate in Miami."
Kavalec, two days later and well before the FISA warrant was issued, forwarded her typed summary to other government officials. The State Department has redacted the names and agencies of everyone she alerted.
But it is almost certain the FBI knew of Steele's contact with State and his partisan motive. That's because former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland says she instructed her staff to send the information they got from Steele to the bureau immediately and to cease contact with the informer because "this is about U.S. politics, and not the work of - not the business of the State Department, and certainly not the business of a career employee who is subject to the Hatch Act."
Even if the FBI did not receive Kavalec's memos, how did they not catch all of the red flags put out by Christopher Steele? We know the answer...

Even if the FBI didn't get Kavalec's memo, it is just as implausible that the bureau couldn't figure out, during the many hours that its agents spent with Steele, what Kavalec divined in a few short minutes: He was political, inaccurate, spinning wild theories and talking to the media.
All those concerns would weigh against Steele's credibility and should have been disclosed to the judges under the honor system that governs the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, experts say.
Kavalec's handwritten notes clearly flagged in multiple places that Steele might be talking to the media.
"June - reporting started," she wrote. "NYT and WP have," she added, in an apparent reference to the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Later she quoted Steele as suggesting he was "managing" four priorities - "Client needs, FBI, WashPo/NYT, source protection," her handwritten notes show.

Did Mueller Hire Contractors (Fusion GPS) to Investigate and Write His Report?
Holy shit. This could be huge. It's possible Mueller was using Fusion GPS and Steele to investigate and write the final report. Even deputized them.

Q Research General #8253: MUH Press Pass! POTUS Take'n Out the Trash Edition
James Comey is in trouble and he knows it
James Comey's planet is getting noticeably warmer. Attorney General William Barr's emissions are the suspected cause.
Barr has made plain that he intends to examine carefully how and why Comey, as FBI director, decided that the bureau should investigate two presidential campaigns and if, in so doing, any rules or laws were broken.
In light of this, the fired former FBI director apparently has decided that photos of him on Twitter standing amid tall trees and in the middle of empty country roads, acting all metaphysical, is no longer a sufficient strategy.
And so we've seen Comey get real busy lately. First he penned a curious op-ed in The New York Times. Then a Times reporter, with whom Comey has cooperated in the past, wrote a news article exposing an early, controversial investigative technique against the Trump campaign in an attempt to get out front and excuse it. Next, Comey is scheduled to be encouraged on a friendly cable news "town hall."
Comey adjudged the president as "amoral." He declared the attorney general to be "formidable" but "lacking inner strength" unlike - the inference is clear - Comey himself. A strategy of insulting the executioner right before he swings his ax is an odd one but, then, Comey has a long record of odd decisions and questionable judgment.
"Amoral leaders [referring to the president] have a way of revealing the character of those around them," wrote Comey without a hint of irony or self-awareness. Those whom the former FBI director assembled around him probably rue the day they ever met the man. Most are now fired or disgraced for appalling behaviors that Comey found easy to manipulate to advance his decisions.
Then, just to make sure his op-ed was odd-salted to the max, Comey mused that the president "eats your soul in small bites." OK, let's step back for a moment: James Comey appears to be in trouble. His strange, desperate statements and behaviors betray his nervousness and apprehension. In a way, it's hard to watch.
Ideally, Barr's examination will aggregate information that addresses three primary streams.
The first will be whether the investigations into both presidential nominees and the Trump campaign were adequately, in Barr's words, "predicated."
The Mueller report's conclusions make this a fair question for the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. Comey's own pronouncement, that the Clinton email case was unprosecutable, makes it a fair question for that investigation.
The second will be whether Comey's team obeyed long-established investigative guidelines while conducting the investigations and, specifically, if there was sufficient, truthful justification to lawfully conduct electronic surveillance of an American citizen.
The third will be an examination of whether Comey was unduly influenced by political agendas emanating from the previous White House and its director of national intelligence, CIA director and attorney general. This, above all, is what's causing the 360-degree head spins.
Without diving into the weeds, it's important to understand that FBI counterintelligence investigations generally proceed sequentially from what is called a preliminary investigation or inquiry (PI) to a full investigation (FI). To move from a PI to an FI requires substantial information - predication - indicating investigative targets acted as agents of a foreign power.
This is problematic for Comey in light of Mueller's findings. There are strict guidelines governing when the FBI can task a confidential source or a government undercover operative to collect against a U.S. citizen.
In addition, the cast of characters leveraged by the FBI against the Trump campaign all appear to have their genesis as CIA sources ("assets," in agency vernacular) shared at times with the FBI. From Stefan Halper and possibly Joseph Mifsud, to Christopher Steele, to Carter Page himself, and now a mysterious "government investigator" posing as Halper's assistant and cited in The New York Times article, legitimate questions arise as to whether Comey was manipulated into furthering a CIA political operation more than an FBI counterintelligence case.
James Comey is right to be apprehensive. He himself ate away at the soul of the FBI, not in small bites but in dangerously large ones. It was a dinner for one, though: His actions are not indicative of the real FBI. The attorney general's comprehensive examination is welcome and, if done honestly and dispassionately, it will protect future presidential candidates of both parties and redeem the valuable soul of the FBI.

DOJ inspector general 'homing in on' FBI's use of unverified Steele dossier
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is investigating the FBI's reliance on the unverified dossier produced by British ex-spy Christopher Steele in the surveillance of a Trump campaign associate "despite questions about [Steele's] credibility." Citing unnamed sources, the Wall Street Journal reports Horowitz "is homing in on" and "has been asking witnesses about" the FBI's "treatment of information" provided by Steele, described as a "key source", who was used to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page. This is part of Horowitz's broad investigation into alleged FISA abuse and more. Steele's dossier was funded in part by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign through the Perkins Coie law firm and opposition research group Fusion GPS, which had reached out to and contracted Steele.
The new Wall Street Journal report says the inspector general's office "has been asking why the FBI continued to cite Steele as a credible source in the renewal applications." And a specific focus of Horowitz's team is apparently "a news report cited extensively in the [FISA] applications that appeared to bolster Steele's credibility... [which] said U.S. intelligence officials were investigating allegations similar to those Steele had raised." The "news report" was written by Yahoo News journalist Michael Isikoff, who said he was stunned when he learned that his September 2016 article for Yahoo News was used in the FISA applications targeting Carter Page to bolster Steele's credibility, despite his source being Steele himself. Iskoff said "it's self-referential" and "it seems a little odd that they would cite the Yahoo News story about the matter they are investigating themselves based on the same material that had been separately presented to the FBI." Isikoff personally met with Steele in person in September 2016. Also at the meeting was Isikoff's "old friend" Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS. The three of them talked about Trump and Russia and Steele provided him with some of his research. Isikoff now admits that everyone should have been more cautious about Steele's information. "I think it's fair to say that all of us should have approached this, in retrospect, with more skepticism, particularly when we didn't know where it was coming from," Isikoff said. "We knew that Steele compiled it, but that Steele did not hear these allegations himself. Somebody else heard them from others and then passed them along. That's thirdhand stuff, which is not usually the kind you want for publishing."
In the FISA renewal applications, which spanned until June 2017, the FBI continued to insist that it didn't think Steele was Isikoff's source even though Steele himself had said that he was by the spring of 2017. The Wall Street Journal report says "investigators have also asked about an internal FBI evaluation of Steele's credibility that found his reporting had been 'minimally corroborated' even as it also said he had provided information 'of value' to the U.S. intelligence community." The report says "the evaluation was reflected in a 'human source validation report' written by a unit of the FBI after the bureau cut off its relationship with Steele in October 2016... because of his disclosures to the media about his work for the FBI." Heavily redacted FBI records unearthed through Freedom of Information Act litigation in 2018 show that Steele was cut off as a confidential human source because of his improper disclosures to third parties and that his "handling agent advised [Steele] that [Confidential Human Source] was not to operate to obtain any intelligence whatsoever on behalf of the FBI."
According to a New York Times report from April, the FBI reached out to some of Steele's foreign sources in an attempt to determine their credibility, and as early as January 2017 agents had reportedly concluded that some of the dossier's contents may have been based upon "rumors and hearsay" which were "passed from source to source." The agents believed that some of Steele's information may have even been based upon "Russian disinformation." For its part, Fusion GPS told the Washington Examiner that it stands by Steele's dossier, claiming that "to our knowledge, nothing in the Steele memoranda has been disproven."

"I Will Not Yield!" Rep. Jordan Refuses to Back Down to Nadler - Goes Off on Democrats For Attacking Barr, Covering Up Spygate (VIDEO)
"Jordan, a minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, went off the Democrats for holding Bill Barr in contempt of Congress for following the law."
"Bill Barr is following the law and what's his reward? Democrats gotta hold him in contempt," Jordan said arguing that the Democrats want to destroy Bill Barr because they are afraid of him because he rightly said, "spying did occur."
"He's [Barr] going to get to the bottom of everything - he's going to find out how and why this investigation started in the first place." the Ohio lawmaker said.
Chairman Nadler tried to interrupt Jim Jordan as the Republican Congressman pointed out that Bill Barr used the term "political surveillance."
Rep. Jordan wasn't having it - "I will not yield!" Jordan said and continued with his tirade."

According a typed summary of the meeting - which sat buried for over 2 1/2 years until an open-records litigation by Citizens United - Steele said that his client "is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8," the date of the 2016 US election. Also in the meeting was an employee of Steele's Orbis Security firm, Tatyana Duran."

And according to The Hill, Kavalec's notes of the meeting - including this stunning admission - do not appear to have been provided to the House Intelligence Committee for its Russia probe, according to former Chairman Devin Nunes (R-CA).
"They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there's a reason for it," Nunes told The Hill's Solomon, who notes that One member of Congress had transmitted the memos to the DOJ's Inspector General, Michael Horowitz out of concern that the IG's office had never seen it either.
The FBI has retroactively classified Kavalec's notes on 4/25/2019, despite the fact that it was originally marked unclassified in 2016. It is set to "Declassify on 12/31/2041," 25 years after the 2016 election.

Q Research General #8242: The Bell Tolls for the Old Guard Edition
DOCUMENTS SHOW Steele DOSSIER WAS JUST POLITICAL MUD-SLINGING FOR CLINTON CAMPAIGN
Documents released by the State Department indicate the discredited Steele dossier containing alleged accounts of Donald Trump's sexual peccadilloes while colluding with Russians officials was always intended as a political document for the Hillary Clinton campaign to discredit the presidential candidate.
The fanciful account was designed to be used as political mud to be slung during the 2016 presidential campaign, and had to be finished before Election Day, The Hill reports.
That conclusion is revealed in a written account from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with former MI6 agent Christopher Steele. Steele reportedly acknowledged that his intelligence-gathering mission was nothing more than a political job for the Hillary Clinton election campaign.
The correspondence came to light recently after the conservative activist group Citizens United successfully argued for the documents to be released pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act. They were delivered in a highly redacted form.
During his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General William Barr said that he is investigating whether the Steele dossier was a product of a Russian disinformation campaign.
The conversation between Kavalec and Steele and her account of it all happened 10 days before the FBI decided Steele's research should provide the basis of obtaining a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, starting with former advisor Carter Page.
Kavalec wrote that Steele's client, the Clinton campaign, "is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8," Election Day in 2016.
The papers were apparently withheld from the House Intelligence Committee that was conducting an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. "They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there's a reason for it," California Republican Devin Nunes told The Hill.
Despite the documents being released, the FBI has reportedly backdated the correspondence as classified, despite not being so in 2016, according to The Hill.
"This new information proves why the attorney general must conduct a thorough investigation of the investigators," David Bossie, director of Citizens United, told The Hill. He suggested the documents prove that the Clinton campaign invented a phony collusion story to destroy Trump.

Steele's stunning pre-FISA confession: Informant needed to air Trump dirt before election
If ever there were an admission that taints the FBI's secret warrant to surveil Donald Trump's campaign, it sat buried for more than 2 1/2 years in the files of a high-ranking State Department official.
Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec's written account of her Oct. 11, 2016, meeting with FBI informant Christopher Steele shows the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded British intelligence operative admitted that his research was political and facing an Election Day deadline.
And that confession occurred 10 days before the FBI used Steele's now-discredited dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's ties to Russia.
Steele's client "is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8," the date of the 2016 election, Kavalec wrote in a typed summary of her meeting with Steele and Tatyana Duran, a colleague from Steele's Orbis Security firm. The memos were unearthed a few days ago through open-records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United.
Kavalec's notes do not appear to have been provided to the House Intelligence Committee during its Russia probe, according to former Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.). "They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there's a reason for it," Nunes told me. Senate and House Judiciary investigators told me they did not know about them, even though they investigated Steele's behavior in 2017-18.
One member of Congress transmitted the memos this week to the Department of Justice's inspector general, fearing its investigation of FISA abuses may not have had access to them.
Nonetheless, the FBI is doing its best to keep much of Kavalec's information secret by retroactively claiming it is classified, even though it was originally marked unclassified in 2016.
The apparent effort to hide Kavalec's notes from her contact with Steele has persisted for some time.
State officials acknowledged a year ago they received a copy of the Steele dossier in July 2016, and got a more detailed briefing in October 2016 and referred the information to the FBI.
But what was discussed was not revealed. Sources told me more than a year ago that Kavalec had the most important (and memorialized) interaction with Steele before the FISA warrant was issued, but FBI and State officials refused to discuss it, or even confirm it.
The encounter, and Kavalec's memos, were forced into public view through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) litigation by Citizens United. Yet, all but a few lines have been redacted after the fact. Officials are citing as the reason national security, in the name of the FBI and a half-century-old intelligence law.
David Bossie, head of Citizens United and an informal Trump adviser, said the documents suggest there was an illegal effort to "frame" the future president with bogus Russia collusion allegations. "This new information proves why the attorney general must conduct a thorough investigation of the investigators," he said.

Q Research General #8241: Halfway Through the Week Edition
excellent past dig on Christopher Steele:
March 17, 2018
THE MECHANICS OF DECEPTION
Much has been said and written about Christopher Steele's authorship of the notorious document that alleges Russia-Trump collusion. According to Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS (who plead the Fifth and only spoke through his lawyers), Steele was hired by them in June 2016 to gather information about "links between Russia and [then-presidential candidate] Donald Trump." Pursuant to that business arrangement, Steele prepared a series of reports styled as intelligence briefings, some of which were later compiled into a collection of documents and published by a number of media outlets and later become known as the "Trump dossier."
On the face of the dossier, it appears that Steele gathered his data from multiple sources in Russia, former Soviet union (FSU) countries, and the US. He then edited the raw intelligence-which seems to be a combination of conversations and notes-organized it in a summarized brief format, and published/leaked it in parts or in its entirety on a spiraling schedule.
Yaacov Apelbaum - Christopher Steele ClaimsTimeline
Image 1: The Dossier events and publication schedule
My initial impression reading the dossier was that the writing was sloppy and that it did not resemble an intelligence report. It exhibited multiple writing styles and writers, both English and non-English speakers, and it was assembled in haste. I also thought that in many ways, it paralleled the plot line of the Dreyfus Affair. As in the case of the "dossier" and the Bordereau from the Dreyfus case, the Trump dossier was presented as undeniable proof of collusion. Yet, it's uncertain who composed it, how it was collected, or even if the document is genuine.
Just like its nineteen century French predecessor, the Trump dossier too had a powerful social and political impact in the US. Its content has dominated the news and has raised substantial questions about the rule of law, the political impartiality of senior federal career bureaucrats, and the true extent of the separation of powers in government.
Yaacov Apelbaum-Russia issues vs. Non-Russia issues
Russia vs. Non-Russia issues on MSNBC's news coverage
Considering all of the dossier's unusual aspects, I decided to take a little time and do a deeper dive into its structure and content. In this post, I'll demonstrate how by using readily available OSINT tools and techniques, video analytics, and writing style analysis, we can pinpoint the likely sources, methods, and the individuals involved in the creation and distribution of this document.
I would like to apologize for the lengthy and somewhat overwhelming amount of detail in this write-up. Contrary to common belief, the truth is rarely concise, pure, and never simple. As Proverbs 1:2-7 implies, the acquisition of knowledge and understanding does require an investment of time and effort. in the spirit of full disclosure, I was not paid to produce this research and I am not affiliated with democratic or republican circles. My objective in writing this posting was to provide the layman reader not otherwise versed in intelligence gathering and analysis techniques with basic facts and insight so that they can form their own educated opinions on the matter.
The Dossier Team
Even after several testimonies and investigative reports, the composition of the dossier team is still shrouded in secrecy. When Glenn Simpson testified on November 8th and 14th in front of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, he was vague and evasive about the names of the people that worked on the document and just said that he hired Steele, who then:
"Use[d] his old contacts and farmed out other research to native Russian speakers who made phone calls on his behalf".
Two of these "native Russian speakers" were subsequently identified as Nellie Ohr and Edward Baumgartner. But even after this revelation, there are still many unanswered questions about this team. For example, what was the organizational structure of their network? How and where was the raw intelligence collected, stored, and transmitted? Or, how was Steele, a private British national living in England able to so quickly and effectively reach top US politicians like McCain and Pelosi, publish through and get full backing from media outlets like Yahoo, NYT and WaPo, and gain access to senior officials at the State Department, the DOJ, and FBI?

Major Mueller Report Omissions Suggest Incompetence Or A Coverup
Robert Mueller's 448-page "Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election" contains at least two major omissions which suggest that the special counsel and his entire team of world-class Democrat attorneys are either utterly incompetent, or purposefully concealing major crimes committed against the Trump campaign and the American people.
First, according to The Federalist's Margot Cleveland (a former law clerk of nearly 25 years and instructor at the college of business at the University of Notre Dame) - the Mueller report fails to consider whether the dossier authored by former MI6 spy Christopher Steele was Russian disinformation, and Steele was not charged with lying to the FBI.
The Steele dossier, which consisted of a series of memorandum authored by the former MI6 spy, detailed intel purportedly provided by a variety of Vladimir Putin-connected sources. For instance, Steele identified Source A as "a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure" who "confided that the Kremlin had been feeding Trump and his team valuable intelligence on his opponents, including Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton."
Other supposed sources identified in the dossier included: Source B, identified as "a former top-level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin"; Source C, a "Senior Russian Financial Officer"; and Source G, "a Senior Kremlin Official." -The Federalist

Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence agent who compiled the unsubstantiated research booklet in 2016 about Donald Trump's connections to Russia before he became president, gave the report to Kinzinger and Jonathan Burks, Ryan's longtime chief of staff, after he completed it on Dec. 13, 2016, according to the court memo.

before joining the FBI,
and before working with Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok
did you know?
isn't it strange?
3. they all knew each other, from many years, since 2007 or before:
- Lisa Page knew Bruce Ohr
- Bruce Ohr and Nellie Ohr knew British spy Christopher Steele
- did also Lisa Page know Christopher Steele?
- John Brennan was good friend with British GCHQ Director Robert Hannigan
- John Brennan with Peter Strzok ?
- Andrew McCabe with Peter Strzok, John Brennan and Bruce Ohr?
5. why is Greg Rubini breaking this story,
and not Sean Hannity on Fox News, or Sara Carter?
a question to @seanhannity
and @SaraCarterDC
has Fox News become obsolete to provide the REAL information?
6. we certainly will NEVER get this story from the likes of The New York Times, the Washington Post or CNN…
Fake News outlets.
Socialist Propaganda outlets.
7. we also know that Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, James Comey, Susan Rice traveled to England in 2016
to do WHAT?
to conspire with the British MI6 and GCHQ to spy on Trump?
to interfere in Hillary Clinton favor in the 2016 elections?
to overthrow Trump, once elected?
8. we know that the Director of the British spy Agency GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, came to Washington in August 2016
and met with John Brennan, with James Clapper and with Hussein obama.
interesting, isn't it?
9. we know that the same Director of GCHQ, Robert Hannigan, resigned 3 days after Trump Inauguration - on Jan 23, 2017
another coincidence?
10. we know that John Brennan is a very good friend with the Executives of the private British Spy Agency named HAKLUYT
- in this gorgeous photo you have the pleasure of seeing John Brennan with the HAKLUYT Executives
11. the private British Spy Agency HAKLUYT is mostly made of former executives, spies and agents of MI6 and GCHQ.
12. HAKLUYT does all the dirty work that by British law the MI6 and GCHQ are not allowed to do:
murders, poisoning, targeted assassinations planting fake evidence to blame the Russians, you name it…
13. HAKLUYT does also the more innocent work, like spying on politicians, CEO's, judges, journalists, etc.
and industrial spying.
very lucrative.
14. HAKLUYT is Very Rich, and makes a LOT of money.
its headquarters are in Mayfair - the most exclusive and expensive location in London, in front of the east side of Hyde Park, close to Bond Street.
15. if you want to hire HAKLUYT for some specific mission, the address is:

18. back on topic:
all this web of British spies intermingling with Brennan, Clapper, Strzok, Page, Comey, McCabe, Bruce and Nellie Ohr…
isn't that interesting?
coincidence?
19. all this network of British spies interfering with US internal affairs, and colluding with Brennan, BHO and HRC to spy on Trump and to

Q Research General #8191: Happy Hunting Edition
New York Times Identifies Second Spy Who Targeted Trump Campaign
The FBI sent a spy to London in the fall of 2016 to pose as a research assistant and target a Trump campaign associate, according to a report by The New York Times published on May 2. The spy, Azra Turk, pretended to by an aide to Stefan Halper, the retired professor who was exposed a year ago as a United States government spy targeting the Trump campaign. The New York Times did not disclose which agency Turk worked for, describing her instead as a "government investigator." Asked by CNN if Turk was an FBI agent, New York Times reporter Adam Goldman refused to answer, leaving open the possibility that Turk may have worked for another domestic or foreign intelligence agency. Papadopoulos believes Turk worked for the CIA and has ties to Turkish intelligence.
The New York Times claims to have received details about Turk from "people familiar with the operation." The newspaper did not disclose the woman's real name. Halper lured Trump-campaign adviser George Papadopoulos to London by offering Papadopoulos $3,000 to write a research paper. When Papadopoulos met with the two spies, Turk bluntly asked him whether the Trump campaign is working with Russia.
The FBI sent Turk to London as part of its "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation of the Trump campaign. The bureau reportedly started the investigation in late July 2016 after receiving intelligence that Papadopoulos had mentioned to an Australian diplomat that Russia had rival candidate Hillary Clinton's deleted emails. Responding to the report, Papadopoulos suggested that the Australian diplomat, Alexander Downer, was also an intelligence asset sent to target the Trump campaign. "What is the media going to do when Congress reveals that Alexander Downer was an asset sent to make contact with me? The old narrative is about to get obliterated. Read my testimony to Congress. They have it all," Papadopoulos wrote on Twitter.
The revelation that a second spy targeted the Trump campaign further buttresses President Donald Trump's assertion that the Obama administration weaponized executive branch agencies to spy on his campaign. The president responded to the report on May 3, calling the revelation "bigger than WATERGATE." "Finally, Mainstream Media is getting involved - too 'hot' to avoid. Pulitzer Prize anyone? The New York Times, on front page (finally), 'Details effort to spy on Trump Campaign,'" Trump wrote on Twitter. "This is bigger than WATERGATE, but the reverse!"
Attorney General William Barr told Congress last month that he believes the Trump campaign was spied on. Barr has directed a team to determine whether the spying was adequately predicated. Meanwhile, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is investigating a parallel FBI operation which utilized a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on former Trump-campaign associate Carter Page. Barr told Congress that Horowitz's investigation is due to conclude in May or June. The FBI obtained the warrant targeting Page using evidence from the infamous Clinton-funded Steele dossier. The document was composed by former British intelligence office Christopher Steele using second- and third-hand sources with ties to the Kremlin. Special counsel Robert Mueller took over the reins of the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign in May 2017. Mueller finished his probe last month, concluding that neither Trump nor anyone in the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

It's no secret that liberals across the country have tried desperately to stop Donald Trump since he became a candidate, but their efforts to undermine him may now be coming back at themselves like a boomerang.
A scandal which began before the 2016 election was even held has just exploded, at least if a bombshell report from the watchdog group Judicial Watch is accurate. The organization has been diligently unraveling the facts around Fusion GPS, and what they recently found is jaw-dropping.
Fusion GPS, of course, is the "opposition research" firm which was contracted by the DNC to dig up dirt on Trump in the run-up to the election. The company is linked to the infamous dossier containing scandalous - and thoroughly debunked - claims about the president, but the controversy is much wider than just those papers.
It now appears that someone working for Fusion GPS was purposely and frequently collaborating with a deputy attorney general within the Obama administration, sending anti-Trump material in a way that was certainly unethical if not completely illegal.
The Obama-era official is Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, and the anti-Trump figure working for Fusion GPS was his wife.
"[A] series of 'Hi Honey' emails from Nellie Ohr to her high-ranking federal prosecutor husband and his colleagues raise the prospect that Hillary Clinton-funded opposition research was being funneled into the Justice Department during the 2016 election through a back-door marital channel," explained veteran investigative journalist John Solomon for The Hill.
"Ohr has admitted to Congress that, during the 2016 presidential election, she worked for Fusion GPS - the firm hired by Democratic nominee Clinton and the Democratic National Committee to perform political opposition research," the journalist said.
That kind of research is often used by political campaigns against their opponents, and is not by itself off limits. But Judicial Watch uncovered 339 emails which reveal that Nellie Ohr likely crossed the line by using her marriage as a political tool, and sending pages of anti-Trump research directly to official Department of Justice email accounts.
"They clearly show that Ohr sent reams of open-source intelligence to her husband, Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, and on some occasions to at least three DOJ prosecutors: Lisa Holtyn, Ivana Nizich and Joseph Wheatley," Solomon said.
"Such overt political content flowing into the email accounts of a DOJ charged with the nonpartisan mission of prosecuting crimes is jarring enough. It raises additional questions about potential conflicts of interest when it is being injected by a spouse working as a Democratic contractor trying to defeat Trump," he continued.
But the scandal is deeper than just emails. Nellie and Bruce Ohr apparently had key roles in pushing the debunked Trump dossier and the false narrative that the future president was colluding with Russia.
"For instance, just 24 days after the anti-Trump screed was emailed, both Ohrs met in Washington with British intelligence operative Christopher Steele," Solomon said. "She said she learned that Steele had concerns that he hoped the DOJ or FBI would investigate, with help from her husband."
And that appears to be exactly what happened.
"The next day, Bruce Ohr used his official DOJ position to go to then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe with Steele's allegations (later to become known as the Steele dossier), and the bureau opened its first investigation into Russia collusion," he said.
There are obvious parallels to Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the two FBI officials who were also having an affair all while texting back and forth about how Trump should be stopped. More and more, it looks like partisan politics and anti-Trump collaboration was widespread within agencies which are supposed to be unbiased.
That is the real scandal here: Not that liberals tried to uncover dirt on a candidate, but that official government personnel within our own government eagerly participated in the partisan witch hunt.
It looks like there was collusion, but not by Trump.
Instead, the real collusion took place between Obama-era government officials and activists who saw nothing as off limits in order to install Hillary Clinton as president - and that should alarm every American, no matter their party.

Kimberly Strassel: AG Barr gets attacked because his probe endangers powerful people
The only thing uglier than an angry Washington is a fearful Washington. And fear is what's driving this week's blitzkrieg of Attorney General William Barr.
Mr. Barr tolerantly sat through hours of Democratic insults at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday. His reward for his patience was to be labeled, in the space of a news cycle, a lawbreaking, dishonest, obstructing hack. Speaker Nancy Pelosi publicly accused Mr. Barr of lying to Congress, which, she added, is "considered a crime." House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said he will move to hold Mr. Barr in contempt unless the attorney general acquiesces to the unprecedented demand that he submit to cross-examination by committee staff attorneys. James Comey, former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, lamented that Donald Trump had "eaten" Mr. Barr's "soul." Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren demands the attorney general resign. California Rep. Eric Swalwell wants him impeached.
These attacks aren't about special counsel Robert Mueller, his report or even the surreal debate over Mr. Barr's first letter describing the report. The attorney general delivered the transparency Democrats demanded: He quickly released a lightly redacted report, which portrayed the president in a negative light. What do Democrats have to object to?
Some of this is frustration. Democrats foolishly invested two years of political capital in the idea that Mr. Mueller would prove President Trump had colluded with Russia, and Mr. Mueller left them empty-handed. Some of it is personal. Democrats resent that Mr. Barr won't cower or apologize for doing his job. Some is bitterness that Mr. Barr is performing like a real attorney general, making the call against obstruction-of-justice charges rather than sitting back and letting Democrats have their fun with Mr. Mueller's obstruction innuendo.
(((But most of it is likely fear. Mr. Barr made real news in that Senate hearing, and while the press didn't notice, Democrats did. The attorney general said he'd already assigned people at the Justice Department to assist his investigation of the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. He said his review would be far-reaching - that he was obtaining details from congressional investigations, from the ongoing probe by the department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, and even from Mr. Mueller's work. Mr. Barr said the investigation wouldn't focus only on the fall 2016 justifications for secret surveillance warrants against Trump team members but would go back months earlier.)))
(((He also said he'd focus on the infamous "dossier" concocted by opposition-research firm Fusion GPS and British former spy Christopher Steele, on which the FBI relied so heavily in its probe. Mr. Barr acknowledged his concern that the dossier itself could be Russian disinformation, a possibility he described as not "entirely speculative." He also revealed that the department has "multiple criminal leak investigations under way" into the disclosure of classified details about the Trump-Russia investigation.)))

The acknowledgement by Kiev's embassy, plus newly released testimony, suggests the Ukrainian efforts to influence the U.S. election had some intersections in Washington as well.
Nellie Ohr, wife of senior U.S. Justice Department official Bruce Ohr, acknowledged in congressional testimony that, while working for the Clinton-hired research firm Fusion GPS, she researched Trump and Manafort's ties to Russia and learned Leshchenko, the Ukrainian lawmaker, was providing dirt to Fusion.
Fusion also paid British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, whose anti-Trump dossier the FBI used as primary evidence to support its request to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In addition, I wrote last month that the Obama White House invited Ukrainian law enforcement officials to a meeting in January 2016 as Trump rose in the polls on his improbable path to the presidency. The meeting led to U.S. requests to the Ukrainians to help investigate Manafort, setting in motion a series of events that led to the Ukrainians leaking the documents about Manafort in May 2016.
The DNC's embassy contacts add a new dimension, though. Chalupa discussed in the 2017 Politico article about her efforts to dig up dirt on Trump and Manafort, including at the Ukrainian embassy.
FEC records show Chalupa's firm, Chalupa & Associates, was paid $71,918 by the DNC during the 2016 election cycle.
Exactly how the Ukrainian embassy responded to Chalupa's inquiries remains in dispute.
Chaly's statement says the embassy rebuffed her requests for information: "No documents related to Trump campaign or any individuals involved in the campaign have been passed to Ms. Chalupa or the DNC neither from the Embassy nor via the Embassy. No documents exchange was even discussed."
But Andrii Telizhenko, a former political officer who worked under Chaly from December 2015 through June 2016, told me he was instructed by the ambassador and his top deputy to meet with Chalupa in March 2016 and to gather whatever dirt Ukraine had in its government files about Trump and Manafort.
Telizhenko said that, when he was told by the embassy to arrange the meeting, both Chaly and the ambassador's top deputy identified Chalupa "as someone working for the DNC and trying to get Clinton elected."
Over lunch at a Washington restaurant, Chalupa told Telizhenko in stark terms what she hoped the Ukrainians could provide the DNC and the Clinton campaign, according to his account.

Victor Davis Hanson
Psychologists might call her claims "projection." That is the well-known psychological malady of attributing bad behavior to others as a means of exonerating one's own similar, if not often even worse, sins.
What Mueller did not do was explain that much of the evidence he found useful was clearly a product of unethical and illegal behavior. In the case of the false charge of "collusion," the irony was rich.
Russians likely fed salacious but untrue allegations about Trump to ex-British spy Christopher Steele, who was being paid in part by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to find dirt on Trump.
The Russians rightly assumed that Steele would lap up their fantasies, seed them among Trump-hating officials in the Barack Obama administration, and thereby cause hysteria during the election, the transition, and, eventually, the Trump presidency.
Russia succeeded in sowing such chaos, thanks ultimately to Clinton, who likely had broken federal laws by using a British national and, by extension, Russian sources to warp an election. Without the fallacious Steele dossier, the entire Russian collusion hoax never would have taken off.

Such overt political content flowing into the email accounts of a DOJ charged with the nonpartisan mission of prosecuting crimes is jarring enough. It raises additional questions about potential conflicts of interest when it is being injected by a spouse working as a Democratic contractor trying to defeat Trump, and she is forwarding her own research to her husband's department and co-workers.
For instance, the same July 6, 2016, email that forwarded the anti-Trump screed also included research on an oligarch named Rinat Akhmetov, a Ukrainian that Nellie Ohr told Congress she was researching for Fusion for possible ties to Trump.
"Rinat Akhmetov is someone who also was associated with Manafort. Now, he's Ukrainian, and right now, I can't remember whether people explicitly, you know, pointed to particular organized crime activity that he's suspected of," she testified.
Other emails that Nellie Ohr forwarded to her husband and the other DOJ officials contained links to open-source information, such as news articles and academic research, that would later surface as evidence of alleged collusion between Trump and Russia. They included that:
then-Russian ambassador to Washington Sergey Kislyak attended an April 2016 foreign policy speech by Trump. Former Attorney General Jeff Session eventually was forced to recuse himself from the Russia investigation as attorney general in part because he met Kislyak at that speech;
then-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page gave a July 2016 speech in Moscow. Nellie Ohr bolded a passage in the article noting Page's company "continues to work with Russian investments" and included someone tied to the Russian energy giant GazProm.
ADVERTISEMENT
House GOP investigators who reviewed Nellie Ohr's emails believe that their timing may be essential to understanding how the false Russian narrative - special counsel Robert Mueller's report did not establish there was Trump-Putin collusion - may have gotten such credence inside DOJ and intelligence circles despite its overtly political origins.
For instance, just 24 days after the anti-Trump screed was emailed, both Ohrs met in Washington with British intelligence operative Christopher Steele. Nellie Ohr testified that she had known Steele from past encounters and learned at that July 31, 2016, meeting at the Mayflower Hotel that Steele, like herself, was working for Fusion GPS on Trump-Russia research. She said she learned that Steele had concerns that he hoped the DOJ or FBI would investigate, with help from her husband.
The next day, Bruce Ohr used his official DOJ position to go to then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe with Steele's allegations (later to become known as the Steele dossier), and the bureau opened its first investigation into Russia collusion.

AG Barr to investigate possible Clinton-Russia collusion during 2016 campaign
Attorney General William Barr told senators on Wednesday that he will be reviewing 2016 Presidential campaign activity, including the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Barr said his review will include "the activities over the summer of 2016" including investigative decisions surrounding Clinton and now President Donald Trump, the Washington Times reported Wednesday.
One of the questions Barr intends to explore in his review is the amount of information the FBI used that was provided by British spy Christopher Steele, who was contracted by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, hired by a Clinton campaign lawyer.
He will also probe how and when the FBI discovered that the Steele dossier was supported by Clinton and the Democratic Party.
Much of the information provided by Steele was reportedly derived from third party and unvetted Russian sources.

The timeframe for the requested records is January 1, 2015, to December 7, 2017.
The emails between Bruce Ohr and Steele were heavily redacted, including some of the dates they were sent and received.
On Friday, July 29, 2016, Steele emails Bruce Ohr about a meeting that is to include Bruce's wife Nellie Ohr, who then worked for Fusion GPS, at the Mayflower Hotel:
Steele: Dear Bruce,
Just to let you know I shall be in DC at short notice on business from this PM till Saturday eve, staying at the Mayflower Hotel. If you are in town it would be good to meet up, perhaps for breakfast tomorrow morn? Happy to see Nellie too if she's up for it. Please let me know. Best, Chris
Ohr: Dear Chris -

Steele: Thanks Bruce.

Ohr: Sounds good, but we won't let you pay for breakfast! I'll wait for your confirmation on time. Bruce
Steele: Let's do 0900 then. See you in the lobby. Chris
Ohr: Very good. See you at 900.
On Saturday, July 30, 2016, Steele sends his thanks to Bruce Ohr for the meeting, "Great to see you and Nellie this morning:"
Ohr: Great to see you and Nellie this morning Bruce. Let's keep in touch on the substantive issues/s. Glenn [Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson] is happy to speak to you on this if it would help. Best, Chris
On Friday, September 16, 2016, Steele and Ohr begin planning a meeting in the Capital Hilton:
Steele: Dear Bruce,

Judicial Watch Uncovers DOJ Records Showing Numerous Bruce Ohr Communications with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele
MARCH 07, 2019

Ohr Repeatedly Thanked Steele for 'Updates' and Assures Steele he will 'Pass this [Information] along to my Colleagues'
(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch announced today it received 339 pages of heavily redacted records from the U.S. Department of Justice which reveal that former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr remained in regular contact with former British spy and Fusion GPS contractor Christopher Steele after Steele was terminated by the FBI in November 2016 for revealing to the media his position as an FBI confidential informant.
The records show that Ohr served as a go-between for Steele by passing along information to "his colleagues" on matters relating to Steele's activities. Ohr also set up meetings with Steele, regularly talked to him on the telephone and provided him assistance in dealing with situations Steele was confronting with the media.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through a March 2018 Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed after the Justice Department failed to respond a December 2017 request Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-00490)). The lawsuit seeks:
All records of contact or communication, including but not limited to emails, text messages, and instant chats between Bruce Ohr and any of the following individuals/entities: former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele; owner of Fusion GPS Glenn Simpson; and any other employees or representatives of Fusion GPS.
All travel requests, authorizations and expense reports for Bruce Ohr.
All calendar entries for Bruce Ohr.

Q Research General #8163: Absolutely Based. The Barr Edition
Mueller Report: Special Counsel Didn't Examine DNC Servers - Based on FBI Investigation that Didn't Examine DNC Servers
WASHINGTON - In his extensive report, Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller notes that his investigative team did not "obtain or examine" the servers of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in determining whether those servers were hacked by Russia.
Instead, Mueller's assessment of the DNC's allegedly hacked servers relied upon the investigations conducted by the FBI and other agencies. "The Office understands that the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the states have separately investigated that activity," reads Mueller's report.
However, the DNC famously refused to allow the FBI to access its servers to verify the allegation that Russia carried out a hack during the 2016 presidential campaign. Instead, the DNC reached an arrangement with the FBI in which a third party company, CrowdStrike, conducted forensics on the server and shared details with the FBI.
As this reporter previously documented, CrowdStrike was financed to the tune of $100 million from a funding drive by Google Capital.
Google Capital, which now goes by the name of CapitalG, is an arm of Alphabet Inc., Google's parent company. Eric Schmidt, the chairman of Alphabet, has been a staunch and active supporter of Hillary Clinton and is a longtime donor to the Democratic Party.
It was previously reported that Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the DNC and Clinton's campaign, helped draft CrowdStrike to aid with the DNC's allegedly hacked server.
On behalf of the DNC and Clinton's campaign, Perkins Coie also paid the controversial Fusion GPS firm to produce the infamous, largely-discredited anti-Trump dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele.
Mueller's report states that the GRU, the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, "stole approximately 300 gigabytes of data from the DNC cloud-based account."
The GRU also targeted "individuals and entities involved in the administration" of the presidential election, the report documents. "Victims included U.S. state and local entities, such as state boards of elections (SBOEs), secretaries of state, and county governments, as well as individuals who worked for those entities," the report states.
Yet the Special Counsel's office "did not investigate further" the evidence it said it found showing that Russia's GRU targeted the DNC and the other entities. Mueller's team did not examine or obtain the DNC's servers.

MEADOWS: House Republicans Planning to Criminally Refer "Two or Three Individuals" Connected to Fusion GPS
Congressman Mark Meadows (R-NC) said Tuesday that House Republicans are planning on criminally referring a few individuals connected to oppo research firm Fusion GPS.
WaPo reporter Robert Costa asked Rep. Meadows Tuesday if House Republicans were eyeing any individuals for criminal referrals after Schiff revealed Erik Prince will be criminally referred to the DOJ for supposedly making a false statement to Congress.
Meadows did not divulge any names, however, House Republicans have stated in the past that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson made false statements to the House Intel Panel during a November 2017 testimony about the timing of his contact with twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr.
"I can tell you that there are two or three individuals that we believe could have potentially given false testimony to Congress. We have been looking at that, reviewing not only the Mueller report, but comparing those to transcribed interviews that might have happened in Congress," Meadows said Tuesday at an event hosted by the Washington Post.
Meadows said the criminal referrals would be related to the phony dossier and Fusion GPS, the oppo research firm which commissioned dossier author Christopher Steele.
"I do have great concerns on the role, not just Fusion GPS, but those associated with it played early on and how was that used or not used as it relates to this investigation," Meadows said.
Perkins Coie, the law firm representing Hillary Clinton's campaign, hired Fusion GPS in April of 2016 to dig up dirt on Trump's campaign.
Fusion GPS then hired former British spy Christopher Steele to reach out to his Russian intel sources to dig up dirt on Trump's camp - Steele ended up compiling a 35-page garbage dossier, full of unverified, salacious allegations against Trump and members of his campaign.
The phony dossier formed an essential part of the FBI's investigation into Trump's campaign and was used to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals on Carter Page.
Although the FBI terminated its relationship with Christopher Steele in November of 2016, DOJ official Bruce Ohr continued to work as a back channel for Steele to the FBI and Mueller's probe throughout 2017.
Criminal referrals sent to the DOJ while Jeff Sessions was the Attorney General went no where - Newly confirmed AG Bill Barr is about the rule of law, so there is hope that the criminal referrals sent to the DOJ by Meadows and Nunes actually turn into indictments.

Searchable version here. 1/2
The next bombshell report to drop from the Justice Department likely will earn none of the breathless fanfare and media coverage that Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report received, but it could be far more incriminating.
In the next several weeks, Inspector General Michael Horowitz is expected to issue his summation of the potential abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by top officials in the Obama Administration and holdovers in the early Trump Administration who were overseeing the investigation of Donald Trump's presidential campaign.
And the perpetrators of the so-called FISAgate scandal now are scrambling for cover as the bad news looms.
Horowitz announced last March that his office would examine the Justice Department's conduct "in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person." That U.S. person is Trump campaign associate Carter Page. In October 2016, just two weeks before the presidential election, the Justice Department submitted an application to the FISC seeking authorization to wiretap Page. The court filing accused Page, a Naval Academy graduate and unpaid campaign advisor, of being an agent of Russia.
The application cited the infamous Steele dossier-unsubstantiated political propaganda that had been funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee-as its primary source of evidence. But the specific political origin of the dossier intentionally was omitted in the court filing. (Robert Mueller similarly tap danced around the role of Fusion GPS, the political consulting firm that hired Christopher Steele to create the dossier. Mueller never mentioned the name "Fusion GPS" in the 448-page document, referring to it only vaguely as "the firm that produced the Steele reporting.")
Former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates signed the original FISA application. It was renewed three times; subsequent signers included former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. If there's one document that represents the malevolence, chicanery and arrogance of the original Trump-Russia collusion fraudsters, it's the Page FISA application.
But-to borrow a favorite term of the collusion truthers-the "walls are closing in" on the FISA abusers.
Representative Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and James Jordan (R-Ohio) recently met with Horowitz and offered some ominous news for Comey and company: "We anticipate the IG's report will come out . . . in the next four to six weeks and I think it's highly likely that we'll see criminal referrals coming from them," Meadows told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on April 14.
President Trump also speculated that the inspector general's report would contain damning allegations against former top officials for the world's most powerful law enforcement agency.
"I think he [Horowitz] knows how big this is," Trump told Sean Hannity in an interview last week. "The IG report coming out in three or four weeks, from what I hear, is going to be...a blockbuster because he has access to information that most people don't." If anyone misled the FISA court, including Comey and Yates, Trump suggested that "they'll all be in a pile of trouble."
Since last fall, Trump has threatened to declassify the entire application, much of which is still concealed behind redactions, but that has presumably been delayed to protect the integrity of the investigation. Once the inspector general's report comes out, however, Trump would be free to unredact crucial portions of the application.
So the targets of the inspector general's probe and their media pals now are spinning hard in preparation of the report's release.

James Clapper Knew There Was No Evidence of Trump-Russia Collusion In 2016
President Obama's top intelligence official stated categorically that no evidence existed of Trump-Russia collusion. So why did Rosenstein appoint Mueller two months later?
Long before the special counsel probe ended in confirming there was no collusion between President Trump and Russia, the U.S. government knew there was no evidence of a vast conspiracy between Trump and a foreign power.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate "ties between President Trump's campaign and Russian officials" on May 17, 2017. President Obama's director of national intelligence James Clapper had access and was privy to all the "evidence" the U.S. government collected since the Russia investigation began in July 2016.
From July 2016 until Clapper's appearance on "Meet the Press" in March 2017, not one shred of evidence linked anyone in Trump's campaign to allegations listed in the Christopher Steele dossier or Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos's meeting with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. Clapper stated to Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press" on March 5, 2017 that the National Security Agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Central Intelligence Agency had collected "no evidence" regarding "improper contacts" between Trump and Russia:
CHUCK TODD: Well, that's an important revelation at this point. Let me ask you this. Does intelligence exist that can definitively answer the following question, whether there were improper contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials?
JAMES CLAPPER: We did not include any evidence in our report, and I say, 'our,' that's N.S.A., F.B.I. and C.I.A., with my office, the Director of National Intelligence, that had anything, that had any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in our report.
CHUCK TODD: I understand that. But does it exist?
JAMES CLAPPER: Not to my knowledge.
CHUCK TODD: If it existed, it would have been in this report?
JAMES CLAPPER: This could have unfolded or become available in the time since I left the government.
CHUCK TODD: At some-
JAMES CLAPPER: But at the time, we had no evidence of such collusion.

Judicial Watch: Bruce Ohr Email Raises Possible Ethics Concerns Tied to Russia Testimony
Fusion GPS Employee Nellie Ohr's Emails Reveal Close Working Relationship with DOJ Russia Experts
(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch announced today it received 33 pages of records from the Department of Justice showing that former senior DOJ official Bruce Ohr in his January 2018 preparation to testify to the Senate and House intelligence committees wrote to a lawyer about "possible ethics concerns." Bruce Ohr forwarded the email to his wife Nellie Ohr, who had been hired by Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign-Democratic National Committee vendor who compiled the anti-Trump Dossier.
Judicial Watch obtained the records through its August 2018 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against the Justice Department after it failed to respond to a May 29, 2018, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-01854)). Judicial Watch seeks:
All records from the Office of the Deputy Attorney General relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of communications about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele.
All records from the office of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce G. Ohr relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of communications (including those of former Associate Deputy Attorney General Ohr) about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele.
All records from the office of the Director of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force relating to Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr and/or British national Christopher Steele, including but not limited to all records of communications (including those of former Organized Crime Task Force Director Bruce Ohr) about and with Fusion GPS officials, Nellie Ohr and Christopher Steele.

'Bombshell' report on James Comey coming in two weeks, Joe diGenova says
A "bombshell" report on former FBI Director James Comey is coming out in two weeks, attorney Joe diGenova said on Wednesday.
He made the declaration during a Fox News panel discussion on alleged government surveillance abuse.
"The Horowitz report is coming out in May or possibly early June," Joe diGenova, a former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said. He was referring to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act investigation.
"There's another report that everyone has forgotten about involving James Comey alone," diGenova said. "That will be out in two weeks. That report is going to be a bombshell. It is going to open up the investigation on a very high note, and there are going to be criminal referrals in it."
He did not elaborate on what report he expects out in two weeks and how he came to find out about the timeline for its release.
U.S. Attorney John Huber is conducting an investigation into FBI misconduct.
A March 2018 letter from Republicans in Congress asked then-Attorney General Sessions to appoint a second special counsel to look into "certain decisions made and not made by the Department of Justice and FBI in 2016 and 2017" which they believed showed "evidence of bias, trending toward animus, among those charged with investigating serious cases." Instead of a special counsel, Sessions tasked Huber with this mission later in March 2018.
The status of his probe is not known.
Comey was criticized in the the Justice Department's inspector general report released in June that focused on the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton emails investigation. Comey was "insubordinate" and "affirmatively concealed" his intentions from Justice Department leadership during the investigation, the report found. The report also determined Comey departed from FBI norms and "affirmatively concealed" his intentions from then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in holding the July 5 and Oct. 28 press conferences about the investigation. Still, the report did not find that Comey was biased in the FBI's decision about Clinton.
Comey was fired as FBI director by President Trump in May 2017.
In the Fox News panel discussion that also included Trump's lead attorney Rudy Giuliani, diGenova also spoke about a "scheme" to harm Trump. He singled out former CIA Director John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI General Counsel James Baker, and Comey.
"The problem for Brennan and Clapper and Comey and Baker and all of them now is the FISA Court has already communicated with the Justice Department about its findings," diGenova said, noting how the unverified dossier written by British spy Christopher Steele is a main factor.
[Opinion: Byron York: For some Dems, breaking up with dossier is hard to do]
"And their findings are that for more than four years before the election of Donald Trump there was an illegal spying operation going on by FBI contractors, four of them, to steal information - electronic information - on Americans and to use it against the Republican Party," he added. "There are going to be indictments. There are going to be grand juries. John Brennan is not going to need one lawyer. He's going to need five."
DiGenova served as an independent counsel in the 1990s for a case on former President Bill Clinton's passport before he was elected. Last year, it was announced diGenova and his wife Victoria Toensing were joining Trump's legal team for the federal Russia investigation, but that plan was nixed within days.
He had been highly critical of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, claiming that Trump had been "framed" by the Justice Department and the FBI.

'We are at war' with Russia: DNC Chair Perez says Trump is 'compromised'
Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez went on CNN to declare cyber war on Russia, and slammed President Donald Trump for being 'compromised.'
"The federal government is asleep at the switch," Perez told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on her show New Day, adding that the president was disloyal to the country for "weaponizing" hacked material.
"When the Russians called Donald Trump and said 'I got dirt on Hillary Clinton,' they should have called the authorities," Perez said, apparently referring to the Trump Tower meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. "Instead they said 'tell us what you got.'That's not right."
Back in 2016, however, the DNC had no qualms about relying on a foreign intelligence officer, Christopher Steele, to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump from various informants and 'weaponize' it in preparation for the presidential election. Steele later admitted sourcing his info from unverified internet sources - but not before it catalyzed two years of 'Russiagate' conspiracy theories and a costly Special Counsel investigation that ultimately found no collusion between Trump and Russia.
Veselnitskaya, interestingly, met with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson on both the days before and after her meeting with Donald Trump Jr. Fusion GPS is the research firm that paid for Christopher Steele's kompromat job on Trump.

Georgian Businessman Releases Texts With Cohen That Were Left Out Of Mueller Report
A Georgian-American businessman is calling for a retraction of a footnote in the special counsel's report that refers to a text message exchange with Michael Cohen about a rumored Trump sex tape.
Giorgi Rtskhiladze's lawyer sent a letter to the attorney general claiming that the Mueller report has "glaring inaccuracies."
The report quoted a text message in which Rtskhiladze told Cohen he was "stopping the flow" of tapes of Trump. But in a text message left out of Mueller's report, Rtskhiladze suggested he did not believe the rumor.
A Georgian-American businessman is accusing special counsel Robert Mueller of publishing "glaring inaccuracies and misrepresentations" about rumors of alleged sex tapes of President Donald Trump during a visit to Moscow in 2013. In a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, a lawyer for the businessman, Giorgi Rtskhiladze, called on the Justice Department to retract a footnote in Mueller's report mentioning an Oct. 30, 2016 text message exchange he had with attorney Michael Cohen about a rumored Trump tape. Rtskhiladze claims that the special counsel's report inaccurately quotes his text message with Cohen. He says that additional text messages not quoted in the report show that he was doubtful about a rumor he had heard from an associate in Moscow about the existence of a tape. "We strongly demand that a full and immediate retraction of these falsehoods should be issued forthwith to restore his good name," wrote A. Scott Bolden, a lawyer for Rtskhiladze. The letter was first reported by Bloomberg News and obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation. Bolden's letter takes issue with several parts of the the special counsel's report, including the quote of Rtskhiladze's text message as reading: "Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there's anything else. Just so you know." Rtskhiladze actually wrote that he had "stopped flow of some tapes," the text messages show.
Rtskhiladze told prosecutors during interviews in 2018 that he was told that the tapes were fake but that he did not communicate that to Cohen, according to Mueller's report. Cohen told Mueller's team in a Sept. 12, 2018 interview that he notified Trump about the message from Rtskhiladze. Rtskhiladze claims that his additional texts with Cohen show that he had no direct knowledge of the tapes and that he saw them as mere rumor, rather than fact. Bolden also says that Rtskhiladze did not hear the rumor first-hand. "Not sure of the content but person in Moscow was bragging had tapes from Russia trip. Will try to dial you tomorrow but wanted to be aware. I'm sure it's not a big deal but there are lots of stupid people," Rtskhiladze wrote in the texts, which were provided to TheDCNF. "You have no idea," Cohen replied. Rtskhiladze responded: "I do trust me." Bolden says in the letter that Rtskhiladze was not present at the event in Moscow where the claim about the tape was allegedly
Melanie Bonvicino, a spokeswoman for Rtskhiladze, told TheDCNF that he has not been in Russia in more than a decade. She said that Rtskhiladze does not know who made the comment at the Moscow party, but that he heard about it from another person. Rtskhiladze identified the intermediary during interviews with Mueller's team. Rtskhiladze has also voluntarily agreed to meet with the House Intelligence Committee, Bonvicino said. The footnote in the special counsel's report reignited speculation about the most salacious allegation contained in the infamous Steele dossier. In the unverified report, author Christopher Steele alleged that the Kremlin had video of Trump with a group of prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room during his visit there in November 2013 for the Miss Universe pageant.
Trump has vehemently denied taking part in the activities described in the dossier, and such a tape has never been produced. Steele's alleged source for the claim has also come under intense scrutiny. People who were with Trump during his visit to Moscow have doubted the claims about the tape, saying that he only stayed one night in the Russian capital and was only alone for a few hours.

Nellie Ohr is a Red Diaper Doper Baby, and Always Has Been
These include Nellie Ohr's study in the USSR in 1989; her fluency in Russian and Ph.D. in Russian history in 1990; a 2010 CIA affiliation, which practically makes her former MI6 agent Steele's "opposite number"; and the extremely curious detail, harkening back to earlier eras of spycraft, that on May 23, 2016, around the time she came on board Fusion GPS, Nellie Ohr applied for a ham radio operator's license.
Under Senate and House questioning, Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson consistently failed to disclose Nellie Ohr's existence as one of his firm's paid Russian experts, let alone that he hired her for the red-hot DNC/Clinton campaign Trump-Russia project.
Even Christopher Steele may have tried to keep Nellie Ohr "under cover." Steele, put forth as the "dossier" author ever since its January 2017 publication in BuzzFeed, does not appear to have let on to his many media and political contacts that he had "dossier"-assistance from at least two fellow Fusion GPS Russian experts, Nellie Ohr and Edward Baumgartner.
Baumgartner, interestingly, was a Russian history major at Vassar in the 1990s when Nellie Ohr taught Russian history there.
…various aspects of the "revisionist" line: that the original "Soviet experiment" remains viable; that Stalin's crimes and his responsibility for them have been exaggerated (especially by that awful anti-communist historian Robert Conquest); that maybe they were even worth it all in the end. "Revisionists" were known for rejecting the "totalitarian model" of Soviet Russia as a politicized figment of Cold Warrior imaginations; however, when the Soviet Union fell apart and changed form in 1991, the "revisionists" seemed to have, too.
Did I mention Nellie Ohr's Ph.D. thesis is titled "Collective farms and Russian peasant society, 1933-1937: the stabilization of the kolkhoz order"?
"Kolkhoz" order means "collective farm" order, so Ohr's subtitle refers to the "stabilization" of the collective farm order. The phrasing alone is suggestive of some silverish lining after the six million or more people were killed by Stalin's state-created famine, mass deportations, and general war of "de-kulakization."
Speaking "revisionist" lingo, Nellie Ohr turns the millions killed by Stalin into "excesses," which, in Ohr's words, "sometimes represented desperate measures taken by a government that had little real control over the country." (Poor Stalin.) She depicts purges as representing "to some degree a center-periphery conflict in which the 'state-building' central government tried to bring headstrong local satraps under control."

[FINAL - Application under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 1982]
To the Australian Information Commissioner/Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
Subverting the democratic process of the People of The United States of America, by a Foreign Government/Entity or individual, is considered an 'Act of War' by an 'Enemy Combatant'.
Now that the Mueller Report has been tabled by William Barr, the blockade to Australian FOIA transparency, ought be removed.
Hence I humbly request ALL information pertaining to potential spying by the Australian/UK Governments and other Entities/individuals, upon the Presidential Candidate and subsequent POTUS, Donald J Trump.
The request is reasonable given the gravity of the matter involved. For similar reasons, it can not be considered to be interfering with the minister's functions.
The predicate date searches required would be for documents/communications created from 1st January 2015 until 24th April 2019 inclusive - under section 15(2) of the FOIA 1982.
Please send the reply by email address only.
A) I seek all relevant cables, faxes, diary entries, notes, letters, memos, reports, emails, draft emails, Five Eyes Signals, telephone records and other communications - by, to, between and amongst, but not limited to the following Entities/individuals:

As you are aware, QAnon has posted vast quantities of military intelligence related to the above mentioned subversion. The relevance of a Q/POTUS association is therefore profound and of national interest. Co-ordination/collaboration with the US Embassy in Canberra is clearly mandatory prior to an association disclosure.

Well… you're just not paying attention are you?
"Russiagate was the WMD of this generation of journalists, a gigantic lie with devastating consequences for the country and the world. Mueller's appointment was born of corruption at the top levels of the DOJ and FBI where, after talk about wearing wires to set up the President and fomenting cabinet factions in support of using the 25th Amendment against him, an endless Special Counsel investigation starring Robert Mueller seemed a sounder path to impeachment.
It was all generated by a request from British intelligence to unleash the full power of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies against a presidential candidate, and then, an incoming President, using a crappy, amateurish, and obviously fabricated dossier produced by British spy Christopher Steele and promoted by the Clinton Campaign and Barack Obama's intelligence, foreign policy, and defense establishments. As we have reported before, this is the largest political scandal in American history. The Constitution itself is at stake. Mueller's May 2017 appointment was revenge for the firing of James Comey, immediately allowing a coverup of the criminal actions of officials complicit in the coup, at the State Department, the FBI, DOJ, and CIA. In the process, the crimes of the actual foreign intervenors into the 2016 election, the British, and to a far lesser extent, the Ukrainians, were also supposed to be buried.
The deflation of the Democratic Party and the media hacks who have driven the coup against President Trump has, since Friday, been audible and smelly, like a balloon of sulfurous gas having finally been pricked. Predictably, they have begun a new round of attempts to hype the results and cover up the evil at play here. Thirty-four individuals indicted, 700 crimes, is the talking point that has emerged from Democratic Party candidates and the news media over the weekend, in a full-throated defense of Robert Mueller's inquisition. To that can be added Sunday's leading refrain from Congressman Jerrold Nadler, which seems to go something like this: "Saint Bob [Mueller] didn't decide about obstruction, and the evil Trump disciple William Barr stepped in and is attempting to cover up for the evil President. We demand to have testimony from Robert Mueller."
They are desperate losers facing an American people likely to say: "Stuff it-your time just ran out." Our job is to make that happen."

But the "second dossier" was too close to Hillary Clinton, and media outlets, likely recognizing that they would be identified as even greater shills for Clinton, recognized dossier number two as a political document and largely refused to run a story detailing its allegations, but for an embarrassingly hackish story in The Guardian.
Although he had potential legal baggage as a foreigner and former British spy working on a U.S. political campaign, Steele's credentials still provided the necessary authority to make his dossier appear as legitimate intelligence. Still, many saw the dossier for what it was - junk opposition "research" without any confirmed sources. Not even the likes of The New York Times and Washington Post would publish a dossier crafted by Christopher Steele, let alone Sidney Blumenthal and Cody Shearer, the Clinton family political hatchet men. But that's what BuzzFeed is for. BuzzFeed publishing the Steele dossier - to this day, not a single major allegation in the dossier has been confirmed - gave a green light to the rest of the media to "report" on its absurd claims. The bogus dossier also provided the justification for the Obama administration (and later, rogue FBI directors in the Trump administration) to leverage the dossier to conduct surveillance on Trump-connected individuals.
Because Steele was a "former spy," that seemed to be enough for the likes of the late Sen. John McCain, fired FBI Director James Comey, former CIA chief John Brennan, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and many other top lawmakers and government officials to stand by Steele's Clinton-backed work for years. But now that the Mueller investigation has ended, those aforementioned former government officials are nowhere to be found when it comes to taking responsibility for advancing the Steele dossier.
If Congress and the media are going to scrutinize what went wrong, their focus should begin with the Hillary Clinton campaign, and particularly Hillary Clinton herself. Was it merely a coincidence that the second dossier mirrored the first, or was Steele just a front man for the Russia hoax? To cast Christopher Steele as the man ultimately responsible for Spygate is to protect the individuals responsible for spawning the Russia hoax.

Hillary Clinton spawned the Russia hoax. Christopher Steele is merely its front man
Jordan Schachtel · April 23, 2019
Following the complete exoneration of President Trump on the hoax allegations of collusion with Russia, the legacy media is attempting to pick up the pieces and investigate what went wrong.
The New York Times, which inserted - without evidence - mountains of anonymously sourced false information into the American mainstream consciousness, has taken a renewed focus on the Steele dossier, which was reportedly an integral piece of source material for the Obama administration's surveillance operation against the Trump campaign.
"Now the dossier - financed by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and compiled by the former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele - is likely to face new, possibly harsh scrutiny from multiple inquiries," The Times reports.
Christopher Steele and his Steele dossier were just one element of a campaign that was not only being financed, but appeared to be entirely manufactured and controlled by Hillary Clinton and the DNC. The Russia collusion hoax originated with Hillary Clinton, and the burden should be on her campaign and the DNC. It butchers the chain of responsibility to hold Christopher Steele, the contracted "researcher," ultimately accountable for defending everything that spawned from the Clinton-DNC operation, which was later leveraged by the Obama administration.
The fraudulent narrative that Donald Trump was a Russian agent began to make its way into the media - and throughout the Obama Intelligence Community - during the late stages of the 2016 presidential election, likely as a means to help candidate Hillary Clinton secure her electoral victory by delegitimizing her opponent through the use of a black propaganda operation.
During the campaign, Team Clinton hired Fusion GPS, which then worked with Steele to produce and disseminate the dossier, according to the media narrative.
But we must also recall that in parallel with the Fusion GPS campaign, political operatives with deep ties to the Clinton family emerged with a reported second dossier - which according to reports, was practically identical to the Steele dossier - and began to disseminate to the media its false information about Donald Trump's supposed ties to the Russians.

HUGE! Rep. John Ratcliffe Confirms How Comey, Yates, McCabe and Rosenstein Were Caught Lying on FISA Warrants to Spy on Trump (VIDEO)
On Monday night Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-TX) a former US Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas joined former Rep. Jason Chaffetz on The Ingraham Angle to discuss the latest developments in the deep state attempted coup on President Donald Trump.
Former Rep. Trey Guowdy and Ratcliffe were the only Republicans to see the probable cause evidence and read the the evidence last year behind the FISA warrants to spy on Trump campaign operatives. And the evidence centered around the Steele dossier - an unverified piece of political garbage thrown together and paid for by the Clinton campaign.
Ratcliffe told former Rep. Jason Chaffetz that Comey, Sally Yates, McCabe and Rod Rosenstein who verified the document have explaining to do.
They all posted in big bold letters "VERIFIED APPLICATION" all in capitals on all of their warrants to the FISA Court to spy on Carter Page and the Trump campaign.
Ratcliffe added, "So Comey and Sally Yates and everyone who signed the FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign all verified what was in the warrant. And they verified that Christopher Steele was a credible source. They verified that the Steele dossier had been cooborated. None of that was true. So the court can only know what they were told and they weren't told that Christopher Steele was out to get Donald Trump. They weren't told that the Steele dossier was paid for by Hillary Clinton."
This is a huge development!

Q Research General #8028: Bring The Hoax Perpetrators To Justice Edition
NYT : Steele Dossier May Have Contained Anti-Trump Disinformation Fed to Democrats By…The Russians
On Thursday, we highlighted a Politico story in which sources suggested that the Department of Justice's Inspector General is preparing a report that will call into serious question the reliability of the so-called 'Steele Dossier' – an anti-Trump, Democrat-funded opposition research document that played a significant role in the launch and continuation of the counter-intelligence probe that Robert Mueller eventually inherited and concluded. Recall that the dossier (a) was bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, (b) was assembled by a foreign ex-spy with whom the FBI ultimately cut ties after it became undeniable that he was lying to them about media leaks, and (c) was an indispensable and central element of the Obama-era DOJ's applications for warrants seeking to spy on individuals tied to the Trump campaign.
Over the weekend, the New York Times published a piece that effectively confirmed what many the president's defenders have been arguing for quite some time – namely, that the infamous dossier was full of false or unsupportable claims about then-candidate Trump. Now they tell us:
The 35-page dossier, spiced up with tales of prostitutes and spies, sketched out a hair-raising story more than two years ago. Russian intelligence had used bribery and blackmail to try to turn Donald J. Trump into a source and ally, it said, and the Kremlin was running some Trump campaign aides practically as agents. But the release on Thursday of the report by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, underscored what had grown clearer for months - that while many Trump aides had welcomed contacts with the Russians, some of the most sensational claims in the dossier appeared to be false, and others were impossible to prove. Mr. Mueller's report contained over a dozen passing references to the document's claims but no overall assessment of why so much did not check out.
Now the dossier - financed by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and compiled by the former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele - is likely to face new, possibly harsh scrutiny from multiple inquiries. Republicans in Congress have vowed to investigate. The Justice Department's inspector general is considering whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation improperly relied on the dossier in applying to the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court for a warrant to eavesdrop on Carter Page, a Trump adviser. The inspector general wants to know what the F.B.I. learned about Mr. Steele's sources and whether it disclosed any doubts about their veracity to the court.
Another possibility - one that Mr. Steele has not ruled out - could be Russian disinformation. That would mean that in addition to carrying out an effective attack on the Clinton campaign, Russian spymasters hedged their bets and placed a few land mines under Mr. Trump's presidency as well. Oleg D. Kalugin, a former K.G.B. general who now lives outside Washington, saw that as plausible. "Russia has huge experience in spreading false information," he said…Last year, in a deposition in a lawsuit filed against Buzzfeed, Mr. Steele emphasized that his reports consisted of unverified intelligence. Asked whether he took into account that some claims might be Russian fabrications, he replied, "Yes."

-Bob Woodward: Steele dossier appeared in draft of US intel assessment on Russian meddling- April 21st.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bob-woodward-Steele-dossier-appeared-in-draft-of-us-intel-assessment-on-russian-meddling
last half of the article excerpt:
Woodward's suggestion that the CIA was pushing for the inclusion of the dossier in the intelligence assessment comes nearly a month after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said he was told former CIA Director John Brennan "insisted" the dossier be included in the report. "BREAKING: A high-level source tells me it was Brennan who insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report … Brennan should be asked to testify under oath in Congress ASAP," Paul tweeted.
Woodward also wrote about Brennan's endorsement of the dossier in his book Fear. "The sources that Steele used for his dossier had not been polygraphed, which made their information uncorroborated, and potentially suspect," Woodward wrote in the book published last year. "But Brennan said the information was in line with their own sources, in which he had great confidence." A spokesman for Brennan insisted he never trusted the dossier, telling the Associated Press, "because it wasn't corroborated intel."
The declassified January 2017 report determined Russia had ordered an "influence campaign" to help President Trump get elected in 2016. There is no mention of the dossier, compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, which contained salacious and unverified claims about Trump's ties to Russia. It was used by the FBI obtain a series of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Now that special counsel Robert Mueller has concluded his investigation into Russian meddling, finding no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, allies of the president are eagerly anticipating the findings of several investigations looking into possible government surveillance abuse against Trump. Among them are investigations being conducted by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Attorney General William Barr, and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Brennan, a vocal critic of Trump, served as CIA director from 2013 to Jan. 20 2017, the day of Trump's inauguration. He huddled with a group of House Democrats late last month.

VIPS memo The Fly in the Mueller Ointment, signed William Binney et al

The first few paragraphs:
MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: The Fly in the Mueller Ointment
April 16, 2019
Mr. President:
The song has ended but the melody lingers on. The release Thursday of the redacted text of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election" nudged the American people a tad closer to the truth on so-called "Russiagate."
But the Mueller report left unscathed the central-but-unproven allegation that the Russian government hacked into the DNC and Podesta emails, gave them to WikiLeaks to publish, and helped you win the election. The thrust will be the same; namely, even if there is a lack of evidence that you colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin, you have him to thank for becoming president. And that melody will linger on for the rest of your presidency, unless you seize the moment.
Mueller has accepted that central-but-unproven allegation as gospel truth, apparently in the lack of any disinterested, independent forensic work. Following the odd example of his erstwhile colleague, former FBI Director James Comey, Mueller apparently has relied for forensics on a discredited, DNC-hired firm named CrowdStrike, whose credibility is on a par with "pee-tape dossier" compiler Christopher Steele. Like Steele, CrowdStrike was hired and paid by the DNC (through a cutout).
We brought the lack of independent forensics to the attention of Attorney General William Barr on March 13 in a Memorandum entitled "Mueller's Forensic-Free Findings", but received no reply or acknowledgement. In that Memorandum we described the results of our own independent, agenda-free forensic investigation led by two former Technical Directors of the NSA, who avoid squishy "assessments," preferring to base their findings on fundamental principles of science and the scientific method. Our findings remain unchallenged; they reveal gaping holes in CrowdStrike's conclusions.
We do not know if Barr shared our March 13 Memorandum with you. As for taking a public position on the forensics issue, we suspect he is being circumspect in choosing his battles carefully, perhaps deferring until later a rigorous examination of the dubious technical work upon which Mueller seems to have relied.

A Study in Fake News
Three CNN Employees Resign Over Retracted Russia Story
On June 25, 2017, CNN.com published a story that cited a single unnamed source, claiming that the Senate Intelligence Committee was eyeing a "$10 billion Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Donald Trump's transition team four days before Trump's inauguration." The story was shared on social media. CNN quickly retracted the story and also apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Trump's orbit who had been named in the story.
The network's investigative unit was told that the retraction did not necessarily mean the facts of the story were wrong. But, rather, "the story wasn't solid enough to publish as-is," according CNN.com.
======================================================
The 3 reporters who "resigned" the next day were:
Thomas Frank, the story's writer. Frank worked for USA Today and Newsday for three decades, pursuing investigations and covering the Iraq war as an embedded reporter before coming to work at CNN.
Eric Lichtblau. A veteran of The New York Times who won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2006, Lichtblau joined CNN just three months before the story was published.
Lex Haris was a former executive editor of CNNMoney. After his resignation, Haris said in a statement, "I've been with CNN since 2001, and am sure about one thing: This is a news organization that prizes accuracy and fairness above all else. I am leaving, but will carry those principles wherever I go."
========================================================
While at the New York Times, Lichtblau had often relied upon unnamed current and former government sources when writing about Russia's election-related hacking. The botched Scaramucci story was the second botched Trump-Russia story within a month in which Lichtblau had played a role.
https://dailycaller.com/2017/06/26/three-cnn-employees-resign-over-botched-trump-russia-story/)
Earlier that month, CNN was forced to correct and rewrite an article by four writers, including Lichtblau, that relied upon anonymous sources claiming that former FBI director James Comey would refute Trump's assertion that Comey had assured the president that he was not under FBI investigation. Comey's testimony confirmed, rather than refuted, Trump's account.
==========================================================
And what happened to Thomas Frank after his "resignation" on June 26?
He got a new job covering national security and counterintelligence for BuzzFeed
He started on October 2, 2017 as the Web site's first full-time reporter on that beat. In particular, Frank will focus on the very story that his former colleagues at CNN's investigative unit have reportedly been told to lay off of-the various probes investigating the Trump team's potential role in Russia's alleged 2016 election interference.
BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith said he had no trepidation about hiring Frank.
Of course it was BuzzFeed that published one of the most blockbuster scoops of the Russia saga-the infamous unverified dossier compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele. "I think we'll break more news," said Smith. "Tom brings a depth of experience and sourcing."

Today you can still find Thomas Frank spreading his filth across the internet and with every media organization he can find to collude with.

In America, you can call yourself a Journalist you will have a license to lie without repercussion. If you tell the right kind of lies for the right rich and powerful people, you will always be able to make a good living. You might even become rich yourself, perhaps even a celebrity.

Top 10 things the media got wrong about 'collusion' and 'obstruction'
By Sohrab Ahmari
April 19, 2019 | 10:01pm | Updated
5. WaPo columnist's overstated, undying Ukraine narrative
"The Trump campaign worked behind the scenes" ahead of the Republican National Convention "to make sure the new Republican platform won't call for giving weapons to Ukraine to fight Russian and rebel forces." So reported The Washington Post's Josh Rogin. Soon the story - of craven Trump campaign officials beholden to Moscow and determined to backstab Kiev - took on a life of its own. But it was false. As Mueller's report notes, the change to an amendment to the GOP platform wasn't "undertaken at the behest of candidate Trump or Russia." (Side note: Trump authorized arms sales to Ukraine, something his predecessor refused to do.)
Josh Rogin's July 2016 Washington Post story overstated the Trump campaign's involvement in changing the GOP platform on Ukraine. One campaign official, without higher approval, pushed for the scope of assistance to be expanded beyond current (Barack Obama-level) assistance.
4. The Atlantic accuses Jeff Sessions!
In June 2017, the combustible young reporter Julia Ioffe wrote an article for The Atlantic, running to several thousand words, that cast doubt on former Attorney General Jeff Sessions' claim that he didn't meet with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak as a Trump surrogate but rather as a matter of routine in his role at the time as a US senator. The Sessions-Kislyak meeting, Ioffe suggested, amounted to yet more shady Russian influence on the Trump camp. Chalk Ioffe's reportorial credibility as another casualty of the Mueller report, which noted that the meeting in question didn't "include any more than a passing mention of the presidential campaign."
3. David Corn's dossier debacle
It was the document that set off the whole shebang. In October 2016, days before the election, David Corn of Mother Jones wrote of an unnamed "former senior intelligence officer for a Western country," Christopher Steele (unnamed at the time), who claimed that the Russians had dirt on Trump they could use to blackmail him. Thus were born the infamous "Steele dossier" and endless late-night jokes about a Trump "pee-pee" tape. But the Mueller report barely touches on the dossier - and confirms none of its outlandish claims.
2. McClatchy catches Michael Cohen in Prague
Speaking of the dossier, remember when McClatchy's Greg Gordon and Peter Stone reported that Mueller had evidence that Trump consigliere Michael Cohen had "secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign," supposedly to meet his dastardly Russian handlers? If this one easily verifiable claim could be verified, the McClatchy reporters said (and perhaps secretly hoped), so could the rest of the dossier! Here's Mueller's report on that matter: "Cohen had never traveled to Prague." What's Czech for "egg on your face"?
1. Buzzfeed knows who told Cohen to lie
Which brings us to the top foul-up of the whole sordid saga. That would be BuzzFeed's report, by Jason Lepold and Anthony Cormier, in January claiming that Trump had directed Cohen to lie to Congress about talks to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Well, here's the Mueller report on that count: "The president did not direct [Cohen] to provide false testimony. Cohen also said he did not tell the president about his planned testimony." Ouch.
So surely BuzzFeed has now offered a straightforward correction and apology, right? Think again. Instead, Editor in Chief Ben Smith published a convoluted self-defense, only begrudgingly admitting that "Mueller has the last word."

| April 18, 2019 10:45 PM
House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., revealed where in special counsel Robert Mueller's report he says "Clinton dirt" tainted the Russia investigation.
During an interview on Fox News, hours after the 448-page report was released, Nunes pointed to a "hidden" passage on page 11 that addresses the scope memo for the yearslong investigation.
"When you look at what happened today, remember we talked a lot about the scope memo. What were the directions given to the special counsel? Well, we now know hidden on page 11, very thinly, still veiled, but we now know they used the Steele dossier, the Clinton dirt, the Clinton-paid-for dirt as part of the memo for the special counsel that directed the special counsel what to do," Nunes told host Sean Hannity.
The classified scope memorandum was issued by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in August 2017, months after he appointed Mueller to lead the Russia investigation without citing a crime. A heavily redacted version of the August memo has already been released to the public. Allies of President Trump, including Nunes, have called for full disclosure of that memo, as well as of documents related to investigatory efforts looking into Trump's inner circle, including FISA warrants that targeted onetime campaign aide Carter Page.
Nunes said the report showed Mueller's investigation was prompted to investigate Page as well as former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort due to the unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele.
"On Carter Page and Paul Manafort, that information came from political opponents, the Clinton campaign fed right into the FBI, directed to the special counsel to go investigate what was in the infamous Steele dossier," Nunes said.
"That is the only thing of relevance that was in today's 450-page report," he emphasized.
Page 11 of Mueller's report provides an overview of how Mueller was appointed special counsel and how Rosenstein directed his activities. It mentions the Aug. 2 memo Rosenstein wrote that "further clarified" what Mueller was allowed to do as special counsel months after his appointment, targeting members of Trump's team, including Page, Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Michael Flynn.
"The Acting Attorney General further clarified the scope of the Special Counsel's investigatory authority in two subsequent memoranda. A memorandum dated August 2, 2017, explained that the Appointment Order had been 'worded categorically in order to permit its public release without confirming specific investigations involving specific individuals,'" Mueller wrote. "It then confirmed that the Special Counsel had been authorized since his appointment to investigate allegations that three Trump campaign officials-Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and George Papadopoulos- 'committed a crime or crimes by colluding with Russian government officials with respect to the Russian government's efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.'"

Q Research General #7994: Principle Conclusion Edition
FBI had doubts about top Trump dossier source before Carter Page FISA warrant renewals
The FBI reportedly had doubts about one of the Trump dossier author's top sources after an interview in January 2017. The dossier, compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele, contained salacious and unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia. It was used by the FBI obtain a series of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to wiretap one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The first warrant application was submitted in October 2016, after which there were three renewals at three-month intervals, including in January, April, and June 2017. That means at least two renewal applications were submitted after the FBI met with Steele's source. FBI agents questioned this source about how he got his information. After the interview, the FBI suspected the individual "might have added his own interpretations to reports passed on by his sources," according to the New York Times, which cited three sources and a Justice Department document. Steele's source was not identified, only described as a Russian speaker from a former Soviet republic who spent time in the West. A former official told the Times FBI agents did not believe Steele or his source intended to mislead. It's also unclear whether the FBI was able to corroborate this source's reports. The FBI's use of the dossier, which was published in full by BuzzFeed in January 2017, has rankled Republican investigators on Capitol Hill, who are investigating possible bias in the upper echelons of the Justice Department and FBI.
A memo from the House Intelligence Committee in February 2018 alleged Steele was paid over $160,000 by the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign through the Perkins Coie law firm and opposition research group Fusion GPS to "obtain derogatory information about on Donald Trump's ties to Russia." The memo also said the FBI never informed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of the dossier's Democratic benefactors or Steele's anti-Trump bias when it applied to spy on Page, who was investigated by special counsel Robert Mueller over his interactions with Russians but was never charged. In a rebuttal to the House Intelligence GOP memo, Democrats argued the Justice Department and FBI "met the rigor, transparency, and evidentiary basis needed to meet FISA's probable cause requirement."
But doubts about Steele's research and its use by federal agents remain. In public testimony after he was fired in May 2017, former FBI Director James Comey called at least some of the dossier's allegations "salacious and unverified." As recently as August 2018, the dossier continued to frustrate verification efforts. FBI official Jonathan Moffa told House investigators: "We, in an ongoing way, were looking at those facts, and doing that research and analytic work to try to verify, refute, or corroborate." The veracity of Steele's dossier was undercut by Mueller, whose report on the findings of his expansive Russia investigation was released by the Justice Department in redacted form on Thursday. Mueller found the two most dramatic claims in Steele's dossier likely lacked substance: former Trump attorney Michael Cohen meeting with Kremlin operatives in Prague in the summer of 2016 and the Russians obtaining compromising material on Trump.
Steele himself described the findings in the dossier as raw intelligence, and in a deposition that was part of a lawsuit against BuzzFeed, he said "yes" when asked if some of the Russia claims could be fake. The FBI suspended its relationship with Steele in October 2016 for unauthorized contact with the media. Despite this, the FBI maintained an unofficial backchannel with Steele up to at least November 2017 via Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is investigating possible FISA abuse, is reportedly focusing on Steele. Steele declined to cooperate with Mueller's probe.

Seems like it went down like this:
1. Trump announces. DS will keep an eye on him, as they will all "undesirable" candidates.
2. Trump gains momentum. They need dirt, so they have their contractor, Fusion GPS, access the NSA database via 702, keeping the FBI's hands "clean."
3. March/April 2016, Adm. Rogers shuts down 702 access to the database to contractor. Shit! Now what? That's when they bring Carlin (NSD) and Bruce Ohr in and have his wife work for Fusion GPS. Now, they can launder their "national security" NSA access through Fusion GPS, making it look like opposition research.
4. Problem: They don't find any real dirt. So, they hire FBI asset Christopher Steele to write a fake dossier. Meanwhile, they also plant informants and/or patsies into the Trump campaign so they can have an excuse to spy on foreign-related activities, and then "hop" over to Trump.
5. They leak to media, go to FISA court, get FISA's and the rest is history.
Are the FISA court judges also dirty? Is Chief Justice Roberts, who oversees all FISC judges also dirty?

Alleged Dossier Source Claims To Be 'Totally Exonerated' By Mueller Report, But Is He?
Sergei Millian, who has been identified in news reports as a major source for the Steele dossier, claimed to be 'totally exonerated' after the release of the Mueller report.
Millian accused Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson of waging a 'smear campaign' against him.
Despite the bold claim, the Mueller report said that Millian refused to meet with investigators.
Millian had repeated contacts with Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos.
A Belorusian-American businessman who has been identified in press reports as a major source for the Steele Dossier is claiming to be "totally exonerated" following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's report. Despite the bold proclamation, Mueller's lengthy report does not appear to vindicate Sergei Millian, the former chairman of the Russian-American Chamber of Commerce.
Instead, Mueller says that Millian refused to meet with investigators probing possible Trump campaign collusion with Russia. Millian "remained out of the country since the inception of our investigation and declined to meet with members of the Office despite our repeated efforts to obtain an interview," the report reads. Nevertheless, Millian used the release of the Mueller report, which found no Trump-Russia collusion, to take aim at the masterminds behind the dossier. "Now, as 'Russiagate' is over and feeling totally exonerated by the recent report, let the inquisitive minds find the truth about the '#Pissgate' creators, a lovely couple, GS/CS, who organized the smear campaign against the #President, #Millian, the team or are they #untouchable?" Millian wrote on Twitter. Millian appeared to be referencing Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson and former British spy Christopher Steele.
The Wall Street Journal and ABC News identified Millian as a dossier source on Jan. 24, 2017, two weeks after BuzzFeed published the controversial document. According to those reports, Millian was the source for the salacious claim that the Russian government had compromising material on Donald Trump in the form of a video tape of the real estate mogul with prostitutes in Moscow in 2013. Steele characterized the source as a "close associate" of Trump's who claimed to have been with Trump in Moscow when he was recorded. According to reporting on Millian, he unwittingly provided information to an associate of Steele's who was reporting back to the ex-MI6 officer. Millian has denied being a source for the dossier. He has said in statements to The Daily Caller News Foundation that he was not with Trump in Moscow when the alleged blackmail tape was recorded. "It's all garbage news," he told TheDCNF last year. "Never happened," Millian said, adding that he "was not in Moscow on that night."

Maybe anons already have this figured out, but …
Comey's "So many questions" and "So many answers" tweets.
"So many questions" was tweeted on March 24, when AG Barr provided the Mueller Report summary.
"So many answers" was tweeted on April 18, when AG Barr released the Mueller Report.
Obviously, both tweets are related to Mueller Report. Mueller is/was a long-time BFF with Comey. Birds of a feather, and all.
Report summary is released and Comey is looking up at the trees. Full report is released and he is showing new saplings.
Old, tall redwoods are powerful, mighty and strong. The POTUS is powerful, mighty and strong. New saplings have taken the place of the old powerful trees, just he thinks POTUS is done and and new president will be taking over.
He thinks the Mueller Report PROVES obstruction. The summary said no collusion, but questionable about obstruction. Final report said the same. (Never mind that the entire Mueller investigation was based on the false Russian dossier and not much else.)
Also, consider Comey's recent interview where he claims he doesn't think the FBI spied. (Though he conveniently ignores the fact that his peeps planted spies into the Trump campaign, used foreign intel to do what was illegal, and used contractors to illegally access the NSA database – Comey isn't mentioning any of that.)
Also consider the clowns in the Fake Media who are doubling down on their ineptitude/corruption and claiming they had it right all along. Why? Because muh obstruction.
Consider Nadler and his looney gang tripling down on their corruption. (Never mind the fact Nadler didn't even read the report.)
Finally, consider the people who committed the criminal act of attempting a coup flying all over the world (to questionable locations, in some cases) as if they have not a care in the world.
What does it all mean?
It means James Comey is a delusional motherfucker, and these scumbags who did this STILL think they are going to come out of this without a problem.
"So many questions."
"Ah ha! There are your answers!"
Except, the world is becoming aware that the Mueller Report is nothing more than a regurgitation of the fake Christopher Steele dossier.

BuzzFeed looks for Mueller report 'hoaxes & spin,' gets served with its own conspiracy theories
BuzzFeed says it's watching out for fake news and partisan spin surrounding Robert Mueller's 'Russiagate' report. Readers sent in prime examples - BuzzFeed's own 'scoops' on the Steele dossier and Michael Cohen.
BuzzFeed reporter Jane Lytvynenko tweeted to announce the news of the hunt almost immediately after the report's release on Thursday, encouraging readers to say something if they see something that would constitute "disinformation, hoaxes, conspiracies and hyperpartisan spin surrounding the Mueller report."
Indeed, BuzzFeed should know something about hyperpartisan conspiracies as, afterall, it published the Steele dossier - a DNC-commissioned paper written by ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele - which included salacious allegations against US President Donald Trump and served to give a massive push to 'Russiagate' hysteria. Steele recently admitted, over two years after the report's damage had been done, he had used unverified sources from the internet in its creation.
It was also BuzzFeed that reported earlier this year that Trump directly instructed his attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about his plans to build a Trump Tower property in Moscow. That 'scoop' was bad enough in that Mueller himself - who is not known as a Trump sympathizer to say the least - denied it.

1. No collusion by any American
2. No obstruction, no conspiracy to commit obstruction. You can't be charged with obstruction if there is no underlying crime,
3. 10 different occasions trump did something that raised the question of obstruction but because he was innocent of any crimes pertaining to "Russia Collusion" (or any other crime evidently) the question was answered no. The Mueller report does not exonerate trump, only because prosecutors don't exonerate anyone. Prosecutors Indict and prosecute or they don't.
4. When trump found out about a special counsel he said I'm fucked, this is the end of my presidency. Pretty reasonable response for anyone finding out a federal prosecutor has been assigned to try and find a way to indict.
5. Hillary Clinton was and still is one of the worst presidential candidates in the history of our country. With the media, Hollywood, intelligentsia, pop culture, tech conglomerates, and political ruling class behind her the American people stood up and rejected her.
6. Vladimir Putin apparently got his way. American has been weakened by a two year hoax on the American people perpetuated by Christopher Steele, Nellie and Bruce Ohr, Peter Strozk, James Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Schiff, Waters, and many others claiming that a duly elected president. 2019 and our southern border is still weak, healthcare costs are rising, The opioid epidemic is still raging, tech companies are still spying on people, hate crimes are being hoaxed, antifa is still actively shutting down free speech on campuses, China is still preparing for a war with us but at least out economy is raging. All because we've talked about the RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA hoax for 2 years.
7. Trump will win in 2020 in one of the largest landslide wins in our great nations history and one of his children will probably win in 2024.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/democratic-sen-mark-warner-texted-with-russian-oligarch-lobbyist-in-effort-to-contact-dossier-author-Christopher-Steele
Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has been leading a congressional investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia, had extensive contact last year with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who was offering Warner access to former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, according to text messages obtained exclusively by Fox News.
"We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country," Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam Waldman, on March 22, 2017.
"I'm in," Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.
Steele famously put together the anti-Trump dossier of unverified information that was used by FBI and Justice Department officials in October 2016 to get a warrant to conduct surveillance of former Trump adviser Carter Page. Despite the efforts, Steele has not agreed to an interview with the committee.
ecrecy seemed very important to Warner as the conversation with Waldman heated up March 29, when the lobbyist revealed that Steele wanted a bipartisan letter from Warner and the committee's chairman, North Carolina Republican Sen. Richard Burr, inviting him to talk to the Senate intelligence panel.
Throughout the text exchanges, Warner seemed particularly intent on connecting directly with Steele without anyone else on the Senate Intelligence Committee being in the loop – at least initially. In one text to the lobbyist, Warner wrote that he would "rather not have a paper trail" of his messages.

Interview With FBI's Gaeta, Central to Russiagate, Among 53 Transcripts Slated for Release
BY PETR SVAB
September 30, 2018 Updated: October 5, 2018
https://www.theepochtimes.com/interview-with-fbis-gaeta-core-to-russiagate-among-53-transcripts-slated-for-release_2674522.html
While the public has heard the story of many of the interviewees before, one of the transcripts may be the most complete account yet from a key figure in what has come to be known as "Russiagate." Specifically, his role in allowing the now infamous Steele dossier to become the cornerstone in the FBI obtaining a FISA spy warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, and by extension-under the NSA's so-called two-hop rule-other members of the Trump campaign. That figure is FBI agent Michael Gaeta.
Gaeta was, and possibly still is, the assistant legal attaché at the United States Embassy in Rome. Until 2014, he headed the FBI Eurasian Organized Crime unit.
It was Gaeta who, reportedly on July 5, 2016, traveled to London to meet with former British spy Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier. The trip was reportedly authorized by Victoria Nuland, then-assistant state secretary for Eurasian affairs.
Steele used unsubstantiated claims from second- and thirdhand sources close to Kremlin to compile the dossier on Russians allegedly conspiring with the Trump campaign to sway the elections.
Steele was paid by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was paid by law firm Perkins Coie, which was contracted for the job by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
Steele was only authorized by Fusion GPS co-founder Glen Simpson to call Gaeta a few days before the July 5 trip, according to Yahoo News' Michael Isikoff and Mother Jones' David Corn.
But that doesn't square with a report by The Guardian's Luke Harding, who wrote that Steele flew to Rome in June to brief on the dossier his "FBI contact with whom he had co-operated over Fifa."
Harding wrote that Steele had previously provided the FBI with information on Russians corrupting the Fifa soccer association in a bid to host the 2018 soccer World Cup.
Steele's "American contact in Rome" was "the head of the FBI's Eurasian serious crime division," Harding wrote. That was, at the time, Gaeta.
Nuland later testified to Congress that she saw "excerpts" from the unfinished dossier in mid-July 2016. She decided the matter should have been handled by the FBI, she said during her appearance on CBS News' "Face the Nation."
But it wasn't the dossier that, officially on July 31, 2016, prompted the FBI to launch a counterintelligence investigation of a Russian conspiracy, even though the conspiracy was primarily alleged by the dossier.
All Roads Lead to Rome
As the official story goes, Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos was invited for a talk with then-Australian ambassador Alexander Downer and the two met and drank in London on May 10, 2016. Downer later said he learned from the young aide that Russians had information that was damaging to Clinton.
Downer reported the conversation to Canberra "a day or two after," as "it seemed quite interesting," he told The Australian.
When, on July 22, 2016, Wikileaks started to release emails they say were leaked from the DNC, the Australian government communicated to the FBI what Downer learned from Papadopoulos.
Since Crowdstrike, a firm hired by the DNC, provided data that suggested the DNC emails were hacked by Russians, the FBI appears to had made an inference that the Clinton dirt was the DNC emails and that Papadopoulos, therefore, must have had prior knowledge of the alleged Russian hacking. That was enough to launch the probe.

Report: Christopher Steele Refusing To Meet With DOJ Inspector General, Which Is Scrutinizing Ex-Spy's Dossier
Christopher Steele declined to meet with the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General, which is reportedly poised to cast doubt on the veracity of some of the former British spy's infamous anti-Trump dossier.
Steele declined the inspector general's request on the grounds that it would be improper for him to take part "in an internal Justice Department investigation as a foreign national and former British intelligence agent," Politico reported Wednesday.
The explanation is somewhat ironic given that Steele, a former MI6 officer, provided his anti-Trump research to the FBI as well as to Bruce Ohr, a Justice Department official.
Witnesses who have met with the inspector general's office told Politico that they got the impression that investigators are "going to try and deeply undermine" Steele's work.
The investigation is also likely "to cast doubt on the veracity of the information Steele provided about [Carter] Page that the FBI included in its application for a [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] warrant," according to Politico.
Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, opened an investigation on March 28, 2018 into whether the FBI abused the FISA by relying on Steele's dossier to obtain spy warrants against Page. Horowitz's investigation is expected to wrap up in May or June, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Steele was hired in June 2016 by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that was investigating the Trump campaign on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign.
He produced 17 memos dated between June 20, 2016 and Dec. 13, 2016 that alleged a "well-developed conspiracy" between Trump associates and the Kremlin.
Steele's sources fingered Page as one link to the Kremlin.
Republican lawmakers have investigated the FBI's handling of the dossier, which they note was unverified when used to obtain the warrants to spy on Page.
Steele has reportedly been interviewed by special counsel Robert Mueller, but he has refused to meet with congressional committees, including the Senate Intelligence Committee.

How Has Former MI6 Spymaster Richard Dearlove Dodged Scrutiny Despite Links To Russiagate?
One of the figures involved in the Obama administration's "Russiagate" scandal who has largely avoided scrutiny is former MI6 spymaster Sir Richard Dearlove, who is intimately linked to several key players in what many now believe was a high-level Set-up against the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.
Dearlove, who served as chief of MI6 from 1999 to 2004, had contact during the 2016 campaign with dossier author Christopher Steele. He is also a close colleague of Stefan Halper, the alleged FBI and CIA informant who established contact with several Trump campaign advisers. Dearlove and Halper attended a Cambridge political event in July 2016 where Halper had his first contact with Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. -Daily Caller
Of note, Dearlove is best known for peddling a report alleging that Saddam Hussein had WMDs, which then-UK Prime Minister Tony Blair used to justify launching a war against Iraq.
In 2014, the retired British spymaster hosted an event at Cambridge University along with Halper. In attendance was then-director of the Defense Intelligence Agency Michael Flynn, as well as a Russian-born college student Svetlana Lokhova. Both Dearlove and Halper reportedly expressed concerns about Flynn's contacts with Lokhova - which the 38-year-old Russian-born academic says is complete bullshit.

Q Research General #7963: Democrats Grasping For Straws Ended Up With The Short One Edition
(Washington, DC) - Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement in response to the Muller special counsel report summary made public by Attorney General Barr today:
The long, national nightmare is over and President Trump has been vindicated. The corruptly-created and constitutionally abusive Mueller investigation failed to find any evidence to support the big lie that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government.
We're pleased that AG Barr rejected Mueller's attempt to smear President Trump with obstruction of justice innuendo by concluding that no such charges could be credibly sustained. Frankly, Mueller never had a valid basis upon which to investigate President Trump for obstruction of justice.
Let's be clear, neither Mueller, the Obama FBI, DOJ, CIA, State Department, nor the Deep State ever had a good-faith basis to pursue President Trump on Russia collusion. Russia collusion wasn't just a hoax, it was criminal abuse, which is why Judicial Watch has fought and will continue to fight for Russiagate documents in federal court.
The targeting of President Trump served to protect Hillary Clinton and her enablers/co-conspirators in Obama administration from prosecution. Attorney General Barr can begin restoring the credibility of the Justice Department by finally initiating a thorough investigation of the Clinton emails and related pay-to-play scandals and the abuses behind the targeting of President Trump.
Judicial Watch has long called for the shutdown of the Mueller special counsel operation and has pursued dozens of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits in connection with the illicit targeting and other abuses of President Trump. Judicial Watch FOIA litigation exposed, for example:
The dossier-based Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications targeting President Trump
FBI payments to Christopher Steele
FBI firing of Steele
Extensive DOJ (Ohr) collusion w/Steele, Simpson, Fusion GPS
No court hearings by defrauded FISA courts before warrants were issued

Mueller Report: Leftists, Never-Trumpers Claim 'Pee Tape' Is Real Based on Misleading Screenshot
Several leftists and anti-Trumpers on Thursday cited a misleading screenshot of special counsel Robert Mueller's report to affirm the existence of the alleged "pee-pee" blackmail tape from the unverified dossier authored by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele. The purported comprising footage is said to show President Trump watching two prostitutes pee on a bed inside the presidential suite at Moscow's Ritz-Carlton Hotel in 2013. The alleged incident is believed to have occurred during a visit to Russia to attend the Miss Universe pageant. According to a footnote in Mueller's report, longtime Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was sent a text message from Russian businessman Giorgi Rtskhiladze in October 2016, saying: "Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there's anything else. Just so you know..." The footnote continues on the next page, where Mueller's report then concedes that Rtskhiladze told investigators that any alleged tapes were fake, to his knowledge.
Although the report cites Rtskhiladze calling the alleged footage "fake," this did not stop journalists, pundits, and other verified media figures from deceptively sharing only the first part of the report's except. Those who shared the misleading passage include MSNBC producer Kyle Griffin, Ellen producer Andy Lassner, Daily Beast contributor Rick Wilson, and former Hillary Clinton staffer Zac Petkanas. Bloomberg's live blog of the Mueller report's release fails to include the part in which the tapes are referred to as "fake."
The Justice Department on Thursday released the long-awaited report by Mueller, which specifies the two-year investigation and details that the team found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia before the 2016 election. The report, in total, is 448 pages long. It describes in detail how the Russian GRU intelligence unit hacked campaign emails of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, which were subsequently leaked by WikiLeaks. It also specifies there were some links between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Attorney General William Barr previewed the report immediately before its release, emphasizing there was no cooperation. Echoing the summary he gave last month, Barr said the investigation found the Russian Internet Research Agency spread disinformation on social media "designed to provoke and amplify political and social discord in the United States." Barr released the report to high-ranking members of Congress and then the public. Further, he said no Americans colluded with Russians to sway the election. On the issue of whether President Trump obstructed justice in any way, the report said it couldn't clear him. It identifies 10 episodes where the president possibly could have obstructed justice. In response to the report, President Trump tweeted a meme that said, "Game Over," in a style from the HBO drama Game of Thrones.

"What is most unflattering about this is the one thing the media will not talk about. It's the irony of these guys, running a phony collusion investigation for two and a half years. Remember, Mueller walks in the door of the SC's office, and says "okay, where's all the Russians at? Show me the Russians!" Well, there were no Russians. The file cabinet was empty the entire time. The only Russians they had were the Russians that (Christopher) Steele, who was working with the Democrats, those were the Russians. The FusionGPS Russians. FusionGPS is the firm that the Clinton campaign hired to dirty up the Trump campaign. That's all this is about here. But in addition to that, how about Mueller's five– FIVE dirty cops on the Mueller team that we know of– two were in possession of the Steele dossier, the Clinton-paid-for dossier, in the summer of 2016. These people need to be investigated. This is why I've said numerous times I don't really care what's in the report. I care what built and went INTO the Mueller report. Because as far as I'm concerned, this is a Mueller dossier that should never have been taken up."
Re: origins of the report and criminal referrals
"What I don't want to do, is what they would do, and that is to leak all the names out. We have an adult who is the Attorney General, who can have as many press conferences as he wants, and meet with whoever he wants. What is still outstanding out there, if you want to talk about things that need to be answered in this Mueller report, that you were alluding to, is one, we don't know– there were accusations that General Flynn, the head of the DIA, was a Russian agent. There were accusations that the guy who supposedly kicked off this investigation, a guy named (Joseph) Mifsud, if you remember George Papadopoulos was prosecuted because of this guy, this individual– he was training intelligence professionals from the United States, he was training intelligence professionals from the Brits, and from the Italians. Mueller made him out to be some kind of Russian asset. If he is indeed a Russian asset, we really need to know about this, because we're gonna have dozens and dozens of our agents who have been compromised by this individual. And then we can also talk about the Trump Tower meeting, where you had the FusionGPS Russians involved in that. The only conspiracy here was the tinfoil hat people that were talking about Trump colluding with Russians, when the entire time it was the Democrats who were colluding with Russians."

Post-Mueller report likely to target Russia dossier author Steele
The frenzied anticipation around special counsel Robert Mueller's full report has overshadowed another Justice Department report on the Russia probe that could land as soon as next month, and which will likely take direct aim at the former British spy behind an infamous "dossier" on President Donald Trump's ties to Russia.
For the past year, the Justice Department's inspector general, Michael Horowitz, has been examining the FBI's efforts to surveil a one-time Trump campaign adviser based in part on information from Christopher Steele, a former British MI6 agent who had worked with the bureau as a confidential source since 2010.
Several people interviewed by the Inspector General's office over the past year tell POLITICO that Horowitz's team has been intensely focused on gauging Steele's credibility as a source for the bureau. One former U.S. official left the interview with the impression that the Inspector General's final report "is going to try and deeply undermine" Steele, who spent over two decades working Russia for MI6 before leaving to launch his own corporate intelligence firm.
Thursday's planned release of the full Mueller report by the Justice Department could shed new light on Steele's role, and the veracity of the controversial dossier he assembled in 2016, featuring explosive-and in some cases sexually lurid-charges of Kremlin influence over Trump and his associates.

"Russiagate was the WMD of this generation of journalists, a gigantic lie with devastating consequences for the country and the world. Mueller's appointment was born of corruption at the top levels of the DOJ and FBI where, after talk about wearing wires to set up the President and fomenting cabinet factions in support of using the 25th Amendment against him, an endless Special Counsel investigation starring Robert Mueller seemed a sounder path to impeachment.
It was all generated by a request from British intelligence to unleash the full power of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies against a presidential candidate, and then, an incoming President, using a crappy, amateurish, and obviously fabricated dossier produced by British spy Christopher Steele and promoted by the Clinton Campaign and Barack Obama's intelligence, foreign policy, and defense establishments. As we have reported before, this is the largest political scandal in American history. The Constitution itself is at stake. Mueller's May 2017 appointment was revenge for the firing of James Comey, immediately allowing a coverup of the criminal actions of officials complicit in the coup, at the State Department, the FBI, DOJ, and CIA. In the process, the crimes of the actual foreign intervenors into the 2016 election, the British, and to a far lesser extent, the Ukrainians, were also supposed to be buried.
The deflation of the Democratic Party and the media hacks who have driven the coup against President Trump has, since Friday, been audible and smelly, like a balloon of sulfurous gas having finally been pricked. Predictably, they have begun a new round of attempts to hype the results and cover up the evil at play here. Thirty-four individuals indicted, 700 crimes, is the talking point that has emerged from Democratic Party candidates and the news media over the weekend, in a full-throated defense of Robert Mueller's inquisition. To that can be added Sunday's leading refrain from Congressman Jerrold Nadler, which seems to go something like this: "Saint Bob [Mueller] didn't decide about obstruction, and the evil Trump disciple William Barr stepped in and is attempting to cover up for the evil President. We demand to have testimony from Robert Mueller."
They are desperate losers facing an American people likely to say: "Stuff it-your time just ran out." Our job is to make that happen."

MEMORANDUM FOR: The President
FROM: Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS)
SUBJECT: The Fly in the Mueller Ointment
Mr. President:
The song has ended but the melody lingers on. The expected release Thursday of the redacted text of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's "Report on the Investigation into Russian Interference in the 2016 Presidential Election" will nudge the American people a tad closer to the truth on so-called "Russiagate."
But judging by Attorney General William Barr's 4-page summary, the Mueller report will leave unscathed the central-but-unproven allegation that the Russian government hacked into the DNC and Podesta emails, gave them to WikiLeaks to publish, and helped you win the election. The thrust will be the same; namely, even if there is a lack of evidence that you colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin, you have him to thank for becoming president. And that melody will linger on for the rest of your presidency, unless you seize the moment.
Mueller has accepted that central-but-unproven allegation as gospel truth, apparently in the lack of any disinterested, independent forensic work. Following the odd example of his erstwhile colleague, former FBI Director James Comey, Mueller apparently has relied for forensics on a discredited, DNC-hired firm named CrowdStrike, whose credibility is on a par with "pee-tape dossier" compiler Christopher Steele. Like Steele, CrowdStrike was hired and paid by the DNC (through a cutout).

Trump Calls Out 'Dirty Cops' at FBI Who Made 11 Payments to Christopher Steele
President Trump on Twitter Wednesday lashed out at corrupt officials at the FBI, Hillary Clinton, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC), for inflicting the fraudulent Steele dossier on the American people.
In his tweet, the president expressed shock that the Bureau in 2016 made eleven payments to British spy Christopher Steele, who was working for the Democratic opposition research firm Fusion GPS on behalf of the DNC and Clinton campaign.
"Wow! FBI made 11 payments to Fake Dossier's discredited author, Trump hater Christopher Steele. … The Witch Hunt has been a total fraud on your President and the American people!" he wrote.
"It was brought to you by Dirty Cops, Crooked Hillary and the DNC," Trump added.
Wow! FBI made 11 payments to Fake Dossier's discredited author, Trump hater Christopher Steele. @OANN @JudicialWatch The Witch Hunt has been a total fraud on your President and the American people! It was brought to you by Dirty Cops, Crooked Hillary and the DNC.
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 17, 2019
The president referenced the conservative news outlet OANN, which reported on the story on Tuesday. Documents previously released by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch show that there were at least eleven FBI payments to Steele in 2016.
As part of its "extensive investigation" into the Clinton-funded anti-Trump dossier, Judicial Watch on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice for communication and payment records between the FBI, Steele, and his private firm, Orbis Business Intelligence.
Judicial Watch is now trying to determine how involved the FBI was in pushing the discredited anti-Trump dossier on the American people.
Beginning in late July of 2016, former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr began communicating with Steele and transferring information from Steele and Fusion GPS to the FBI, Epoch Times reported, based on Ohr's August 2018 congressional testimony.
Sometime in late 2016, Nellie Ohr provided her husband with a memory stick containing the research she compiled while employed at Fusion GPS. Bruce Ohr testified he gave the memory stick to FBI agent Joe Pientka. Nellie Ohr had left Fusion in September 2016.

Q Research General #7942: Wednesday Winning Edition
>>6211419
How to keep the investigation going when Trump took office? The plan called for Comey to put the new president at ease by telling him he was not a suspect. This would not have been a credible assurance if Comey had informed Trump that (a) his campaign had been under investigation for months, and (b) the FBI had told a federal court it suspected Trump campaign officials were complicit in Russia's cyber-espionage operation.
So, consistent with President Obama's instructions at the Jan. 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting, information about the investigation would be withheld from the president-elect. The next day, the intelligence chiefs would tell Trump only about Russia's espionage, not about the Trump campaign's suspected "coordination" with the Kremlin. Then, Comey would apprise Trump about only a sliver of the Steele dossier - just the lurid story about peeing prostitutes, not the dossier's principal allegations of a traitorous Trump-Russia conspiracy.
This strategy did not sit well with everyone at the FBI. Shortly before meeting with Trump on Jan. 6, Comey consulted his top advisers about the plan to tell Trump he was not a suspect. In later Senate testimony, Comey admitted that there was an objection from one FBI official:
"One of the members of the leadership team had a view that, although it was technically true [that] we did not have a counterintelligence file case open on then-President-elect Trump[,] . . . because we're looking at the potential . . . coordination between the campaign and Russia, because it was . . . President-elect Trump's campaign, this person's view was, inevitably, [Trump's] behavior, [Trump's] conduct will fall within the scope of that work."
Note that Comey did not refer to "potential coordination" between, say, Carter Page or Paul Manafort and Russia. The director was unambiguous: The FBI was investigating "potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia."
Perspicaciously, Comey's unidentified adviser connected the dots: (a) because the FBI's investigation focused on the campaign, and (b) since the campaign was Trump's campaign, it was necessarily true that (c) Trump's own conduct was under FBI scrutiny.
Then-director Comey's reliance on the trivial administrative fact that the FBI had not written Trump's name on the investigative file did not change the reality that Trump, manifestly, was the main subject of the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation.
Remember last year's hullabaloo over special counsel Robert Mueller's demand to interview the president? What need would there have been to conduct such an interview if Trump were not a subject of the investigation? Why would Trump's political opponents have spent the last two years demanding that Mueller be permitted to complete his probe of collusion and obstruction if it were not understood that the investigation - including the spying, or, if you prefer, the electronic surveillance, the informant sorties, and the information gathered by national-security letter demands - was centrally about Donald Trump?
That brings us to a final point. Congressional investigations have established that the Obama Justice Department and the FBI used the Steele dossier to obtain FISA court warrants against Page.
The dossier, a Clinton campaign opposition research project (again, a fact withheld from the FISA court), was essential to the required probable-cause showing; the FBI's former deputy director, Andrew McCabe, testified that without the dossier there would have been no warrant.
So . . . what did the dossier say? The lion's share of it alleged that the Trump campaign was conspiring with the Kremlin to corrupt the election, including by hacking and publicizing Democratic Party e-mails. This allegation was based on unidentified Russian sources whom the FBI could not corroborate; then-director Comey told Senate leaders that the FBI used the information because the bureau judged former British spy Christopher Steele to be credible, even though (a) Steele did not make any of the observations the court was being asked to rely on, and (b) Steele had misled the FBI about his contacts with the media - with whom Steele and his Clinton campaign allies were sharing the same information he was giving the bureau.
It is a major investigative step to seek surveillance warrants from the FISA court. Unlike using an informant (a human spy), for which no court authorization is necessary, applications for FISA surveillance require approvals at the highest levels of the Justice Department and the FBI. After going through that elaborate process, the Obama Justice Department and the FBI presented to the court the dossier's allegations that the Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia to undermine the 2016 election.

Q Research General #7939: The Graveyard Edition
Remember former FBI Assistant Director Andy McCabe? Since his dismissal from the FBI, everyone assumed that he was under criminal investigation for lying and leaking.
It turns out that a powerful official within the Justice Department named Ms. Jessie K. Liu, has been "burying" criminal referrals, letting suspects off with a slap on the wrist, or totally dismissing charges, as Chicago DOJ (Kim Foxx) did for Jussie Smollett.
Some examples of Jessie Liu's handi-work:
The manipulated DC legal case surrounding the Awan brothers; and how they escaped full accountability, likely due to need to protect politicians. (House of Representatives) The sweetheart plea deal.
The manipulated DC legal case surrounding SSCI Security Director James Wolfe; and how he was allowed to plea only to lying to investigators when the evidence was clear from the outset how he leaked classified information to his journalist concubine. Again, likely due to the need to protect politicians. (SSCI, Senate) The sweetheart plea deal.
The manipulated DC legal case surrounding Obama lawyer Greg Craig; and how he escaped accountability for FARA violations by running out the statute of limitations and burying Mueller's evidence for 18 months. Again, likely due to the need to protect politicians (Obama White House). Sweetheart double standards.
The manipulated DC legal case, a non-filing, surrounding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for lying to INSD investigators about his media leaks. Again, likely due to the need to protect the administrative state.
Detailed explanation at: theconservativetreehouse.com…
One of the first things new Attorney General William Barr did, after getting wind of Ms. Liu's actions, was to MOVE HER to a less influential job at the DOJ. (He was LIVID!)
BUT…it's not just Jessie K. Liu who ignored criminal referrals from Congress. Recent Special Counsel BOB MUELLER and Assistant AG ROD ROSENSTEIN ignored a criminal referral of Trump Dossier author, Christopher Steele.
The DOJ (Mueller) investigation of Christopher Steele was dropped.
Lindsey Graham and Chuck Grassley sent a criminal referral of Chris Steele to Rosenstein/Mueller in January 2018; however the case was used as a shield to ward-off FOIA inquiry, but the case was never actually pursued - and eventually dropped.
Additionally, with hindsight and a greater understanding of the Mueller team corruption, we can see how this specific referral hits the center of the FBI intent around their Russia collusion-conspiracy.
The issue surrounds the October 2016 Carter Page FISA application, and how the Steele Dossier was used therein.
Full Article at: theconservativetreehouse.com…-162559
If Bob Mueller were to investigate Christopher Steele, it would be learned that the Dossier was FAKE, the FISA court was lied to, and several top people in the DOJ (including Rosenstein himself) were corrupt lawbreakers.
After reading the above two articles, I now understand why we've never heard anything on the status of criminal referrals Congress has sent to the Department of Justice on McCabe, Comey, Hillary, Strzok, Lynch, and a few others. THEY WERE IGNORED.
This also explains why the 8 people Congressman Devin Nunes are referring for Criminal Investigation, will be hand-delivered by Nunes himself to Attorney General William Barr, this week. Jessie Liu and Bob Mueller are out of the way. But Rod Rosenstein is still the Assistant Attorney General, and able to intercept and/or sabotage the Nunes referrals.

Q Research General #7937: Mueller Report Is Coming Edition
>>6207076
"Very few still understand that Russiagate was a highly organized Deep State conspiracy conducted by the Democrat Party to overthrow President Donald Trump and to start the hot phase of World War III with Russia.
Toward that end, Congressman Adam Schiff was selected early on to spearhead this unparalleled act of treason and outright warmongering."
"…Adam Schiff was a key co-conspirator within a massive Deep State conspiracy to overthrow the POTUS. Other obvious co-conspirators include Democrats Eric Swalwell, Jerrold Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, Richard Blumenthal, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mazie Hirono, among many other prominent members of Congress. This seditious plot to remove Trump from office by way of a soft coup also implicates Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, John Brennan, James Clapper, Robert Mueller, James Comey, Rod Rosenstein, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, Lisa Page, Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, Stephan Halper, among many other treasonous Deep State operatives. Of course, there are numerous traitors throughout the Mainstream Media who also covertly colluded to carry out a soft coup against Trump whose names are now notorious for fake news-Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Brian Stelter, Cris Cuomo, Chris Matthews, Larry O'Donnell, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Andrea Mitchell, Alisyn Camerota, Erin Burnett, etc. The critical point is that the fake Russiagate hoax was a highly organized and orchestrated scheme premeditated at the highest echelons of the U.S, Federal Government to stealthily overturn the 2016 POTUS election outcome."

Judicial Watch Sues FBI For Records of Communications and Payments to Dossier Author Christopher Steele
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit against the FBI on Tuesday for records of communications and payments to dossier author Christopher Steele.
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit after the FBI failed to respond to a September 27, 2018, FOIA request (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-00572)).
Judicial Watch is seeking:
All records of communications between any official, employee, or representative of the FBI and Mr. Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer and the owner of the private firm Orbis Business Intelligence.
All records related to the proposed, planned, or actual payment of any funds to Mr. Steele and/or Orbis Business Intelligence
All records produced in preparation for, during, or pursuant to any meetings or telephonic conversations between any official, employee, or representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Mr. Christopher Steele and/or any employee or representative of Orbis Business Intelligence
The time frame for Judicial Watch's request is March 9, 2017 to September 27, 2018.
Former British spy Christopher Steele was paid by Hillary Clinton and the DNC [through law firm Perkins Coie and oppo research firm Fusion GPS] to compile a 35-page Russia dossier to smear Donald Trump.
The dossier, which still has not been verified was then used by Obama's FBI and DOJ to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
The FBI also paid Steele to be a "confidential human source" [CHS] prior to firing him as a source on November 1st, 2016 after he disclosed his relationship to the FBI to reporters.
Documents previously obtained by Judicial Watch revealed the FBI made a total of 11 payments to Christopher Steele, however, the docs were almost completely redacted.
Other heavily redacted documents recently obtained by Judicial Watch revealed that twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr acted as a backchannel for Steele to the FBI after the bureau terminated its relationship with Steele.
"How and why did the FBI pay Christopher Steele, who was already being funded by the Clinton campaign and DNC through Fusion GPS?" said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "That we had to sue for this basic information shows the FBI may have something more to hide."

So . . . what did the dossier say? The lion's share of it alleged that the Trump campaign was conspiring with the Kremlin to corrupt the election, including by hacking and publicizing Democratic Party e-mails. This allegation was based on unidentified Russian sources whom the FBI could not corroborate; then-director Comey told Senate leaders that the FBI used the information because the bureau judged former British spy Christopher Steele to be credible, even though (a) Steele did not make any of the observations the court was being asked to rely on, and (b) Steele had misled the FBI about his contacts with the media - with whom Steele and his Clinton campaign allies were sharing the same information he was giving the bureau.
It is a major investigative step to seek surveillance warrants from the FISA court. Unlike using an informant (a human spy), for which no court authorization is necessary, applications for FISA surveillance require approvals at the highest levels of the Justice Department and the FBI. After going through that elaborate process, the Obama Justice Department and the FBI presented to the court the dossier's allegations that the Trump campaign was coordinating with Russia to undermine the 2016 election.
To be sure, no sensible person argues that the government should refrain from investigating if, based on compelling evidence, the FBI suspects individuals - even campaign officials, even a party's nominee - of acting as clandestine agents of a hostile foreign power. The question is: What should trigger such an investigation in a democratic republic whose norms strongly discourage an incumbent administration's use of the government's spying powers against political opponents?
The Obama administration decided that this norm did not apply to the Trump campaign. If all the Obama administration had been trying to do was check out a few bad apples with suspicious Russia ties, the FBI could easily have alerted any of a number of Trump campaign officials with solid national-security credentials - Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Sessions, Chris Christie. The agents could have asked for the campaign's help. Instead, Obama officials made the Trump campaign the subject of a counterintelligence investigation.
That only makes sense if the Obama administration's premise was that Donald Trump himself was a Russian agent.

The 5 fights to expect after the Mueller report is released
(CNN) - Sometime in the next 72 hours, we expect Attorney General William Barr to release a redacted version of the 300+-page report compiled by special counsel Robert Mueller and aimed at examining Russian interference in the 2016 election.
That release will be a BIG deal – our first real glimpse into what the Russians were trying to do in 2016, how much (or little) the Trump campaign played along with those efforts and whether President Donald Trump (or anyone in his circle) undertook an effort to get in the way of the probe.
This is, without doubt, an end. But don't fool yourself: This is not the end.
No matter what the Mueller report says – or how much of it we actually get to see after the redactions – it will continue to be a source of massive contention in our culture, with tentacles that reach not only into the political world (up and down Pennsylvania Avenue) but also the legal one.
Here are five of the major fights to come over the Mueller report:
* The Redaction Fight: In testimony in front of a House committee last week, Barr made clear that he had no plans to show Congress the full, unredacted report. (He did say he'd be willing to talk to the chairmen of the Senate and House Judiciary committees about what was in the unredacted version.) Barr also said that there were four categories of redacted information: 1) grand jury material 2) classified information 3) information linked to ongoing probes and 4) details that could be damaging "peripheral third parties" in the investigation. Democrats have already made clear that they want to see the full report and have already authorized a subpoena for it in the event that Barr doesn't release the whole thing.
* The Obstruction Fight: We know from the Barr top-line letter that "evidence" exists on both sides of the debate over whether Trump or anyone affiliated with him sought to purposely obstruct the Mueller investigation into Russian interference. And the Barr letter also quotes Mueller saying this: "While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." Barr decided not to charge Trump with obstruction, nor did Mueller make a recommendation to do so, as Barr testified last week to Congress. So why did he? And why didn't Mueller make a recommendation on obstruction? One other: What evidence are we talking about on both sides of the obstruction question?
* The Rebuttal Fight: For months, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has been promising that the White House will produce its own report as a way to answer back to what Mueller put together. Giuliani told CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday night that the White House still expects to release a rebuttal report, and that it will be released after the Mueller report comes out. Is there any, well, "there" there on this rebuttal report? Or is it simply Trump's tweets with some legal-ese thrown in there? Does it gain any traction within the broader debate over the Mueller report? Or is it dismissed as simply garbage spin and forgotten within a day or two?
* The Russia Fight: If there was "no collusion" between the Trump campaign and the Russians – as Barr's summary of Mueller's report made clear – then why the hell were SO many Trump associates in contact with the Russians during the 2016 election? (According to CNN reporting, at least 16 Trump associates had contacts with Russians during the campaign or transition.) And why did so many of them either lie (Michael Flynn) or misremember (Jeff Sessions) the depth and breadth of their interactions with Russians? Was it all just the world's biggest coincidence? That central question is likely to be the subject of much back-and-forth on and off Capitol Hill as Democrats seek to push past Mueller's expected collusion conclusion in search of answers.
* The Steele Dossier Fight: The opposition research document put together by former British spy Christopher Steele in many ways sits at the core of the disagreement between the two parties about the entire investigation. Democrats see Steele as getting most of the big things right about Trump, and note that former FBI director James Comey has said under oath that the Justice Department was able to independently confirm parts of the Steele Dossier. On the other hand, Republicans view the Steele Dossier as a partisan, gotcha document funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee. They insist the dossier is the reason the FBI began a counter-intelligence probe, which led to the Mueller special counsel in the first place. And that's a problem because many Republicans think that many of the dossier's claims are untrue. That disagreement isn't going anywhere because it's too powerful for both sides to let it go.

Mark Meadows Expects Criminal Referrals In DOJ Watchdog's Report
North Carolina Republican Rep. Mark Meadows said Sunday that he expects the Justice Department's inspector general to issue criminal referrals as part of an investigation into the FBI's possible abuse of the surveillance courts during the Trump-Russia probe.
"We're fully anticipating that the [inspector general's] report will come out as Attorney General Barr said in the next four to six weeks, and I think it's highly likely that we'll see criminal referrals coming from them that will correspond with what Chairman [Devin] Nunes has already put forth," Meadows said in an interview on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures."
Attorney General William Barr told Congress on Tuesday that he expects Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, to issue a report in late May or June. On March 28, 2018, Horowitz opened an investigation into whether the FBI and Justice Department complied with legal requirements to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Meadows, a close ally of President Trump's, said that he and Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan met earlier this week with Horowitz. Both have expressed confidence in Horowitz's work, and have heightened expectations that the investigation will be favorable to Republicans.
Meadows said that he believes that Horowitz's report will also focus on FBI leaks to the media. The Republican claimed to have seen evidence that the bureau would leak information to the press and then use those stories to justify additional investigations.
"So what we would find is people within the Department of Justice, primarily the FBI, would actually give information to the media, then those reports would actually come out and they would say 'wow, we have these reports now,' and then they would take the actual reports and use those as the probable cause to do a further investigation," Meadows told Fox host Maria Bartiromo.
"It was a big circular reasoning ... you'll see all of that come out, I believe, when inspector general's report comes out."
Horowitz is also examining the FBI and Justice Department's communications with Christopher Steele, the author of the dossier that the FBI relied on to obtain the Page FISAs.
Republicans have alleged that the FBI failed to verify the dossier before using it to obtain the FISAs. They also claim that the FBI failed to disclose that Steele was working for the DNC and Clinton campaign in the FISA applications.
Horowitz is also investigating the FBI's use of confidential informants in the Trump-Russia probe. The New York Times reported earlier this week that Horowitz is scrutinizing Stefan Halper, a former Cambridge University professor who made contact with several Trump campaign advisers while working as an FBI informant.

Trump-Russia 2.0: Dossier-Tied Firm Pitching Journalists Daily on 'Collusion'
Paul Sperry, RealClearInvestigations - March 20, 2019
Above, Daniel J. Jones, whose outfit has hired Glenn Simpson and Christopher Steele, key figures behind the Trump-Russia dossier.
Key Democratic operatives and private investigators who tried to derail Donald Trump's campaign by claiming he was a tool of the Kremlin have rebooted their operation since his election with a multimillion-dollar stealth campaign to persuade major media outlets and lawmakers that the president should be impeached.
Five days a week, TDIP emails a newsletter to influential Democrats and prominent Beltway journalists under the heading "TDIP Research" - which summarizes the latest "collusion" news, and offers "points of interest" to inspire fresh stories regarding President Trump's alleged ties to Moscow.
Recipients of the TDIP reports include staffers at the New York Times and Washington Post and investigative reporters at BuzzFeed, ProPublica and McClatchy, as well as news producers at CNN and MSNBC, according to a source familiar with the project's email distribution list. Democratic aides on Capitol Hill also subscribe to the newsletter.
The briefings typically run several pages and include an "Executive Summary" and links to court documents and congressional testimony, letters and memos, as well as new articles and videos.
The Steele dossier and impeachment are common themes in the reports, which generally spin news events against Trump, copies of the newsletter obtained by RCI show. A March 13 TDIP bulletin, for instance, highlighted former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's sentencing without informing readers that Special Counsel Robert Mueller closed the case without any collusion accusation against Manafort, who was punished for personal financial crimes.

JW sues for communications related to Victoria Nuland, Asst. Sec. State in charge of Ukraine under Hussein. Relevant quotes below:
Nuland reportedly "green lit" the initial meeting about the anti-Trump dossier between Christopher Steele and FBI agent Michael Gaeta. Quoting from David Corn and Michael Isikoff's book Russian Roulette, "The FBI checked with Victoria Nuland's office at the State Department: Do you support this meeting? Nuland, having found Steele's reports on Ukraine to have been generally credible, gave the green light."
"We intend to find out how far the Deep State was willing to go in their effort to discredit then-candidate Donald Trump," said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. "It seems the Obama administration engaged in a no-holds-barred attempt to clear the path for Hillary Clinton. Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuits have already shown the Obama State Department was corruptly targeting President Trump."

Jay Sekulow: "Three" FISA Applications Were Denied in 2016 and What This Means...
During a rater innocuous podcast discussion panel yesterday, one of President Trump's personal lawyers Jay Sekulow mentioned the FBI had three FISA applications denied by the FISA court in 2016. [Podcast Here - Note comment at 25:05] The denials were always suspected; however, until now no-one in/around the administration has ever confirmed.
Jay Sekulow did not expand on his statement and did not explain where the information was derived from; however, if accurate this may explain the backstory to why FISA Judge Rudolph Contreras was recused. This issue has been nagging many people since the recusal notation in December 2017.
On November 30th, 2017, Mike Flynn signed a guilty plea; ostensibly admitting lying to investigators. The plea was accepted by Judge Rudolph Contreras; who is also a FISA court judge. Six days later, December 7th, 2017, Judge Contreras "was recused" from the case without explanation.
(Reuters) The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia judge presiding over the criminal case for President Donald Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has been recused from handling the case, a court spokeswoman said on Thursday. (read more)
The only two significant things that happened between the initial Mike Flynn plea hearing and the recusal from Judge Contreras was:
#1) The stories about anti-Trump FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his involvement with Fusion-GPS and Christopher Steele (keep this in mind as it pertains to FISC presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer); and
#2) FBI Director Chris Wray appearing before the House Judicial Committee and hearing Representative Jim Jordan demand to see the 2016 FISA application.
In fact, Judge Contreras was recused only a few hours after that House Judicial Committee hearing. The story was memory-holed into the concentric whirlpool of nothingness. However, if what Jay Sekulow describes is true, and one of the denied FISA applications was against Mike Flynn, some of the issues reconcile.
The first thing to note is the FISA request would have been submitted to the FISA Judges in/around Washington DC. There are only three possibilities: Presiding FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer; Judge James Boasberg; and Judge Rudolph Contreras.

Continued:
Students of the Russia-collusion saga will recall that some of the earliest and most significant events cited as leading to the FBI's investigation of Team Trump took place in a certain REDACTED country during a REDACTED season in 2016. It was over breakfast on April 26 in London that the mysterious Maltese professor, Joseph Mifsud, told young Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that the Russians had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Five days later, on May 1, Papadopoulos had drinks with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer in a London bar where he shared this piece of gossip/intel. And, of course, London is home to the author of the anti-Trump "dossier," Christopher Steele.
According to the official story laid out in the New York Times, Australian officials did not pass on this new information for two months. And while Steele was retained by the opposition research firm Fusion GPS in the spring to dig up dirt on Trump for the Clinton campaign, the official story is that he did not start working with U.S. officials until the summer.
And so it is more than passingly curious that Priestap kept going to London when these significant events were occurring. Jordan asked Priestap about his second trip there: "What did it have to do with?"
Priestap demurred: "I'm not at liberty to discuss that today."
After some dodging and weaving, Jordan came back to the question, but this time with an uncomfortable specificity: "Was your second trip then concerning the Trump-Russia investigation?" he asked.
"Sir, again, I'm just not at liberty to go into the purpose of my second trip."
Priestap could have answered "no" without perjuring himself, he could have quickly put this matter to bed. His "I'm not at liberty" answers strongly suggest that the Trump-Russia investigation was exactly what his second trip to London was about.

Jordan drilled in: "All three times to [REDACTED]?
Priestap said the trips he remembered "off the top of my head were all [REDACTED]."
Jordan asked whether Priestap remembered when he went to this place. Priestap said "No."
Jordan was back at it in later rounds of questioning, asking whether Priestap had traveled to a given location at a given time in 2016. Over and again, censors from the FBI and DoJ have redacted the location and the time.
What could this exotic destination be? How is the timing of Priestap's trip there a matter of national security? What secrets were the redactors trying to protect?
Peter Strzok: "Bill" was in London.
AP Photo/Evan Vucci
Turns out the Sharpie brigades weren't nearly as thorough as they thought. A long-available transcript of text messages between FBI agent Strzok and lawyer Page - the paramours who worked on both the Clinton and Trump investigations - provide the answer. It's right there on the page detailing texts between Strzok and Page on May 4, 2016. At around 9:31 that Wednesday evening, Strzok writes to say he is worried about getting a memo into shape that is expected that night or the next morning. He feels pressured even though "I don't know that Bill will read it before he gets back from London next week." Go to a text from the next Monday morning, May 9, and Strzok is wondering who will be receiving the daily report on the Clinton investigation, what "with Bill out."
So there we have it. Bill Priestap was in London on or around May 9. Which strongly suggests that all three of the international trips taken by him during his tenure as FBI counterintelligence chief were to London.
Still, there is a reason the censors had out their Sharpies. It has to do with another question Jordan asked Priestap: "Okay. So what were you doing in [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] of 2016?"
"So," Priestap replied, "I went to meet with a foreign partner, foreign government partner." In other words, almost certainly British intelligence. Not exposing our British partners has been the Justice Department's justification for locking up secrets about the beginnings of the Trump investigation. The redactions try and fail to hide that Priestap met repeatedly with his British counterparts in 2016.
Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos was also in London. So was the FBI, around the same time.

Spying, Redefined
Attorney General Barr's statement that "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign makes another part of Priestap's testimony - about why an FBI asset in London named Stefan Halper reached out to Papadopoulos and to another Trump foreign policy adviser, Carter Page – even more significant.

The FBI was still assessing the 'reliability' of Christopher Steele in late November 2016, a month after the bureau used the ex-spy's anti-Trump dossier to obtain spy warrants against Carter Page.
FBI lawyer Sally Moyer testified to Congress last year that the FBI wanted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr to establish contact with Steele 'to get further clarity about Christopher Steele and his reliability.'
The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained a copy of Moyer's testimony.
An FBI lawyer told Congress last year that investigators were assessing the reliability of Christopher Steele as of late November 2016, a month after the bureau cited the former spy's anti-Trump dossier to obtain a warrant to snoop on Carter Page.
Sally Moyer, an attorney in the FBI general counsel's office, described a meeting held at FBI headquarters on Nov. 21, 2016 with Bruce Ohr, a Justice Department official who has long known Steele, a former British spy. A month before that meeting, on Oct. 21, 2016, the FBI obtained its first of four FISA warrants against Page, a former Trump campaign adviser.

Q Research General #7853: The Many Handed Wizard Edition
EXCLUSIVE: Republican Rep. Devin Nunes sent a criminal-referral notification to Attorney General William Barr on Thursday alleging several "potential violations" of the law.
The ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee said he and Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe are prepared to brief Barr on alleged misconduct during the FBI's investigation into Russian meddling and contacts with Trump advisers during the 2016 campaign.
The referrals stem from the investigation conducted by the House Intelligence Committee when Republicans held the House majority.
"As part of that investigation, Committee Republicans identified several potential violations of law," Nunes, R-Calif., wrote in a brief letter to Barr on Thursday.
The notification comes after Barr testified to Congress this week that he is reviewing the "conduct" of the original FBI investigation. During the second of two Capitol Hill appearances on Wednesday, Barr said he believes "spying did occur," and the question is "whether it was adequately predicated."
Amid criticism from Democrats who accused him of playing into President Trump's "deep state" rhetoric, Barr stressed that he just wants to make sure "there was no unauthorized surveillance."
Nunes has been looking into such surveillance and other issues for months. In his letter Thursday to Barr, Nunes said he would have his staff arrange a time for him and Ratcliffe, R-Texas, to "brief you directly on eight criminal referrals."
The letter did not provide further details on what the referrals will allege but the congressman previously told Fox News the referrals include two for conspiracy, as well as for "global leaks" and for lying, misleading or obstructing congressional investigators.
The step comes as Republicans have pushed for the release of key documents to uncover the origins of the accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government. According to a summary of the now-completed Robert Mueller probe, that investigation did not uncover evidence of collusion. Trump recently told Fox News he would release the entirety of the FISA applications used to surveil one of his top aides, and other related documents.
Nunes earlier told Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures" that he has been working on the referrals for more than two years, and wanted to wait until Barr's confirmation.
Nunes asserted that "we've had a lot of concerns with the way intelligence was used" during the Trump-Russia probe.
Redacted versions of FISA documents already released have revealed that the FBI extensively relied on documents produced by Christopher Steele, an anti-Trump British ex-spy working for a firm funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC), to surveil Trump aide Carter Page. The FISA application did not clearly state that the firm was funded by the Clinton team and DNC.
Further, just nine days before the FBI applied for the FISA warrant to surveil Page, officials were battling with a senior Justice Department official who had "continued concerns" about the "possible bias" of a source pivotal to the application, according to internal text messages obtained by Fox News in March.

It's hard to say whether these leaks were coordinated, but there have been some suggestive clues. The New York Times reported in early 2017 that, in the days and weeks leading up to Trump's inauguration, intelligence and White House officials distributed intelligence on contacts between Russia and Trump associates far and wide. Senator Benjamin Cardin, a Democrat from Maryland, actually received a packet of material marked "secret" from the State Department. The wider such intelligence is circulated, the easier it is to leak it.
Then there is the role of Brennan himself. The Times has reported that in August 2016 Brennan began briefing Congressional leaders that Russia was working to elect Trump and that some of his advisers could be working with the Kremlin on this effort. Among those Brennan briefed was then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who a few days later released a letter to then-FBI director James Comey, urging him to make public intelligence about the Trump campaign and Russia. After the election, Brennan became a TV pundit and used his platform to accuse Trump of treason and claim the Russian government was blackmailing him.
Finally, there is the FBI's own relationship with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who helped an opposition research firm produce a series of "dossiers" on Trump and his associates that alleged a wide conspiracy. The bureau used these products in its surveillance warrant on Page. Because those dossiers were intended to place negative stories in the press about Trump, it's understandable that aspects of the FBI investigation would leak to reporters.
Most Washington leaks are neither good nor bad; they can be used to expose official abuse or as cudgels in a bureaucratic turf war. Leaks of ongoing counterintelligence investigations, however, are a different matter. They risk undermining the probes themselves, by making adversaries aware of them. They are also deeply unfair to the targets of such investigations, by tarnishing their reputations without a full airing of the evidence.
"Leaking information about an ongoing intelligence investigation is a classic example of surveillance abuse," says Tim Edgar, who served as the director of privacy and civil liberties for the National Security Council under President Barack Obama. "It's what J. Edgar Hoover did." What happened in early 2017, he says, "clearly appeared to be politically motivated leaking."
Leaks set the narrative for the first two years of the Trump presidency. Granted, Trump did not help his cause with his haphazard firing of Comey or his frequent and hyperbolic attacks on the intelligence community. But given that Mueller did not find the conspiracy alleged by people such as Brennan, those leaks now deserve scrutiny.
Edgar says he does not think Barr is the best person to conduct that investigation. The Justice Department's inspector general or the White House's Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, he said, would be more credible. Nonetheless, he says, "These are serious questions that need to be answered in a serious way."
It's a pity that more Democrats do not see it that way. Many howled in protest at Barr's comment about spying. As Representative Adam Schiff, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, put it: "This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a 'deep state coup,' but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions."
Schiff should recalibrate his umbrage. Trump will be president until at least 2021. If Democrats see no problem with the anonymous disclosure of elements of ongoing counterintelligence investigations, or the fruits of surveillance, what is to stop Trump from doing it too? To borrow a popular slogan of the moment: This is not normal.

It's habning! Even the NYT actually covered IG Horowitz's investigation.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/09/us/politics/russia-investigation-barr.html
Justice Dept. Watchdog's Review of Russia Inquiry Is Nearly Done, Barr Says
By Adam Goldman and Charlie Savage
April 9, 2019
WASHINGTON - The Justice Department's internal watchdog intends to complete by May or June his investigation into aspects of the Russia inquiry, including whether law enforcement officials abused their powers in surveilling a former Trump campaign aide, Attorney General William P. Barr told lawmakers on Tuesday.
The department's inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, has been examining how law enforcement officials obtained a warrant in October 2016 to wiretap Carter Page, a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign with links to Russia. Mr. Horowitz's investigators have also asked witnesses about informants that the F.B.I. turned to in the early stages of the investigation, according to people familiar with his inquiry.
"The office of the inspector general has a pending investigation of the FISA process in the Russia investigation," Mr. Barr said in testimony before a House appropriations subcommittee, using shorthand for the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. "I expect that will be complete in probably May or June, I am told. So hopefully we'll have some answers from Inspector General Horowitz on the issue of the FISA warrants."
A spokesman for Mr. Horowitz declined to comment on the timing of the expected report. But the inspector general has previously confirmed that he was looking into the early stages of the Russia inquiry, including wiretap applications, informants and whether any political bias against Mr. Trump influenced investigative decisions.
Mr. Horowitz's findings could once again upend the Justice Department and F.B.I., which have been at the center of a political firestorm since the 2016 presidential election over their handling of separate investigations into both Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and ties between Russia and the Trump campaign. The highly anticipated results of the Russia inquiry are due to be made public "within a week," Mr. Barr said on Tuesday.
In the Russia investigation, Republicans have accused law enforcement officials of improperly obtaining the Page warrant because the application relied in part on Democratic-funded opposition research compiled into a dossier by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who was also an F.B.I. informant.
At issue is whether the F.B.I. and Justice Department made any misrepresentations to the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court when seeking the warrant, or if they should have flagged any concerns about the credibility of the information in the application during renewals. If the inspector general finds fault with the F.B.I., it could help validate Republican accusations that the Russia investigation was politically motivated.
Mr. Trump's allies have sought to reduce the inquiry to the problematic Steele dossier and to portray the Page wiretap application as its central feature. However, the bureau opened the counterintelligence investigation into Russia's election meddling - including scrutinizing links to the Trump campaign - based on other information, and without the dossier.
And the Page wiretap was only a small part of the broader Trump-Russia investigation: The inquiry involved more than 2,800 subpoenas, nearly 500 search warrants and about 500 witness interviews, Mr. Barr wrote in a letter to Congress describing the conclusions of the coming report by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel who took over the investigation in May 2017.
Law enforcement officials were also granted three renewals of the wiretap from the surveillance court; Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general and a Trump administration appointee, signed the last renewal application, which was granted in June 2017.
As part of his investigation, Mr. Horowitz is scrutinizing the F.B.I.'s relationship with Mr. Steele, who provided the politically charged information to the agents trying to determine whether any of Mr. Trump's associates were secretly working with the Russian government's campaign to meddle in the 2016 election.

"Russiagate was the WMD of this generation of journalists, a gigantic lie with devastating consequences for the country and the world. Mueller's appointment was born of corruption at the top levels of the DOJ and FBI where, after talk about wearing wires to set up the President and fomenting cabinet factions in support of using the 25th Amendment against him, an endless Special Counsel investigation starring Robert Mueller seemed a sounder path to impeachment.
It was all generated by a request from British intelligence to unleash the full power of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies against a presidential candidate, and then, an incoming President, using a crappy, amateurish, and obviously fabricated dossier produced by British spy Christopher Steele and promoted by the Clinton Campaign and Barack Obama's intelligence, foreign policy, and defense establishments. As we have reported before, this is the largest political scandal in American history. The Constitution itself is at stake. Mueller's May 2017 appointment was revenge for the firing of James Comey, immediately allowing a coverup of the criminal actions of officials complicit in the coup, at the State Department, the FBI, DOJ, and CIA. In the process, the crimes of the actual foreign intervenors into the 2016 election, the British, and to a far lesser extent, the Ukrainians, were also supposed to be buried.
The deflation of the Democratic Party and the media hacks who have driven the coup against President Trump has, since Friday, been audible and smelly, like a balloon of sulfurous gas having finally been pricked. Predictably, they have begun a new round of attempts to hype the results and cover up the evil at play here. Thirty-four individuals indicted, 700 crimes, is the talking point that has emerged from Democratic Party candidates and the news media over the weekend, in a full-throated defense of Robert Mueller's inquisition. To that can be added Sunday's leading refrain from Congressman Jerrold Nadler, which seems to go something like this: "Saint Bob [Mueller] didn't decide about obstruction, and the evil Trump disciple William Barr stepped in and is attempting to cover up for the evil President. We demand to have testimony from Robert Mueller."
They are desperate losers facing an American people likely to say: "Stuff it-your time just ran out." Our job is to make that happen."

I found this interaction to be the moneyshot regarding the frame up of POTUS.
They changed their protocol and knew their actions were not logical while allowing Bruce Ohr (DOJ) to funnel information (dossier) from his source (Christopher Steele/Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson) to the FBI.
Further, Baker had two separate sources: David Corn (reporter) and Michael Sussman (attorney/HRC campaign).
Baker was in the chain of custody.

Q Research General #7817: The 'MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!' Edition

Sitting in the hot seat of a high-profile congressional hearing has a way of unmasking the mettle of any witness.
Attorney General William Barr showed us Tuesday, in his first testimony since the end of the Russia probe, that he's not big on emotion, animation or flashy presentations. Calm, scholarly and precise was his modus operandi, even as Democrats tried to lob a bomb or two his way.
But the even-keeled nature of his two-hours-plus performance shouldn't blind us to one momentous declaration he made to lawmakers.
Though it didn't happen on his watch, Barr told Congress he will investigate how the FBI came to conduct a counterintelligence investigation against Donald Trump, then the Republican nominee for president, starting in the summer of 2016.
We have known for more than a year now that the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general, Michael Horowitz, has been investigating whether the FBI or DOJ abused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to secure a warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page less than three weeks from Election Day 2016.
But Barr made clear Tuesday that his review is distinct and more far-ranging than IG Horowitz's investigation. It goes back to the moment when a probe code-named Crossfire Hurricane was opened on July 31, 2016, by Trump-hating FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok.
That probe's goal was to determine whether Trump was colluding with Russia to hijack the election. And, very quickly, the FBI chose to use an opposition research project, funded by Trump rival Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party and written by British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, as key evidence - even though it was unverified at the time.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has settled the collusion issue, concluding (like House and Senate intelligence committee Republicans before him) that there was no Trump-Russia conspiracy.
But Barr used a question from Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Ala.) to signal that he wants to go further than Mueller or the IG, to determine whether the counterintelligence probe was legit from the start.

Republican releases transcript of top FBI lawyer during Clinton, Trump-Russia investigations
Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., released the transcript of former FBI General Counsel James Baker on Tuesday, the latest in a series of such disclosures by the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee. The 152-page transcript is from a closed-door interview that Baker gave on Oct. 3, 2018 in front of a joint session of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees. "The Americans deserve transparency and they deserve to know what transpired at the highest levels of the FBI and at the origin of the probe into President Trump's campaign," Collins said
Baker was the FBI's top lawyer from 2014 to 2018, and he held that key role during two high-profile investigations - the Clinton investigation and the Trump-Russia investigation. The FBI's investigation of Hillary Clinton's private email server and her mishandling of classified information, dubbed Midyear Exam, ended with no charges ultimately being filed. During his testimony, Baker described Clinton's behavior as "alarming" and "appalling." Baker said he "argued with others about why they thought she shouldn't be charged" although he ultimately agreed with the decision not to charge her. Baker also admitted that, upon seeing some of the texts exchanged between FBI special agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, he was "quite alarmed" and "concerned about is whether any decisions had been taken - or not taken - in the Midyear case that were driven by political bias of any sort."
The FBI's investigation of Russian interference and its possible ties to Trump or Trump associates, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane, would eventually carry over into special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation which ended in March with no charges of criminal collusion. Baker admitted he was "concerned" about the investigation, saying it was "novel" and "highly unusual." Baker further testified that in 2016 he met with Michael Sussmann, a lawyer from Perkins Coie, who gave him unspecified information from "cyber experts" not related to the dossier but still related to the Trump-Russia investigation. Perkins Coie was the law firm hired by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 presidential election. It's the same firm that hired Fusion GPS, which then in turn hired ex-British spy Christopher Steele, whose infamous memos were used in Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications against at least one Trump associate.
When asked if an outside counsel had ever before tried to pass along information to him as general counsel for the purposes of then passing along to the FBI, Baker said, "That's the only one I can remember." Baker said he passed Sussman's information to either Strzok or former assistant director of the FBI's counterintelligence division Bill Priestap. He said Sussman told him that he'd given the information to the New York Times as well. Beyond his contacts with Perkins Coie, Baker also admitted talking with at least one journalist about these issues in 2016, testifying that he repeatedly spoke with David Corn, whom he called a "long-time friend." Corn is a journalist at Mother Jones who wrote an article titled "A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump" on Oct. 31, 2016 - just days before the 2016 presidential election.

BRITISH RUSSIAGATE FUCKERY
-The British Role in 'Russiagate' Is About to Be Fully Exposed-
The truth is, that a foreign government did indeed meddle in the American Presidential election, in a failed attempt to fix the outcome, but it was not Russia. It was the City of London, and the Five Eyes imperial intelligence services of the British Commonwealth, along with treasonous, "Tory" American elements. If that admission is forced to the surface, through the vigorous actions of all that oppose the presently dominant Big Lie tyranny, that revelation will shock and liberate people all over the world. The mental stranglehold of "fake news" media outlets can be permanently broken. That is the task of the next days and weeks.
"It's hard to find a black cat in a dark room, especially if there is no cat," says the Chinese proverb. Yet, although the Mueller report was called a "nothing burger," it was not: it still presented the potentially lethal lie that twelve Russian gremlins, code-named Guccifer 2.0, hacked the DNC. Sundry media meatheads thus continue to blog and broadcast about "what else is really there."
The false Russian hack story, still being repeated, marches on, undeterred, like the emperor without any clothes. One lame-brained variation, promoted in order to cover up the British role, states that Hillary Clinton, rather than Trump, colluded with the Russians. It is being repeated by Republicans and Democrats alike, some of them malicious, some of them confused, and all of them completely wrong. The media, such as the failed New York Times and various electronic media, must be forced to either admit the truth, or be even more thoroughly discredited than they already have been. They must stop their constant repetition of this Joseph Goebbels-like Big Lie. There must be a vigorous dissemination of the truth by all those journalists, politicians, activists and citizens that love truth more than their own assumptions, including about President Trump, or other dearly-held systems of false belief.
Apart from documenting the presence of "former" British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, former MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove, and former GCHQ head Robert Hannigan at the center of the Russiagate campaign against President Trump for the past several years, we must, in order to expose this successfully, identify not only what was actually done and who was doing it, but the deeper policy motivation: why it was done.

"Russiagate was the WMD of this generation of journalists, a gigantic lie with devastating consequences for the country and the world.

It was all generated by a request from British intelligence to unleash the full power of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies against a presidential candidate, and then, an incoming President, using a crappy, amateurish, and obviously fabricated dossier produced by British spy Christopher Steele and promoted by the Clinton Campaign and Barack Obama's intelligence, foreign policy, and defense establishments. As we have reported before, this is the largest political scandal in American history. The Constitution itself is at stake. Mueller's May 2017 appointment was revenge for the firing of James Comey, immediately allowing a coverup of the criminal actions of officials complicit in the coup, at the State Department, the FBI, DOJ, and CIA.

The deflation of the Democratic Party and the media hacks who have driven the coup against President Trump has, since Friday, been audible and smelly, like a balloon of sulfurous gas having finally been pricked. Predictably, they have begun a new round of attempts to hype the results and cover up the evil at play here. Thirty-four individuals indicted, 700 crimes, is the talking point that has emerged from Democratic Party candidates and the news media over the weekend, in a full-throated defense of Robert Mueller's inquisition.

Q Research General #7772: Dishonest And Treasonous Witch Hunt Edition
TRUMP RIPS DEEP STATE: It's Time "Perpetrators" of Fraudulent Russia Witch Hunt Defend Their "Treasonous" Acts
President Trump on Saturday ripped the Deep State perpetrators of the fraudulent Russia witch hunt in a series of tweets, calling their acts "treasonous."
TRUMP: Why should I be defending a fraudulent Russian Witch Hunt. It's about time the perpetrators of this fraud on me and the American People start defending their dishonest and treasonous acts. How and why did this terrible event begin? Never Forget!
Why should I be defending a fraudulent Russian Witch Hunt. It's about time the perpetrators of this fraud on me and the American People start defending their dishonest and treasonous acts. How and why did this terrible event begin? Never Forget!
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 6, 2019
Earlier Saturday the President called out "Crooked Hillary" and the DNC, who paid for the phony Russia dossier which was then used to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals to spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
So, let's get this straight! There was No Collusion and in fact the Phony Dossier was a Con Job that was paid for by Crooked Hillary and the DNC. So the 13 Angry Democrats were investigating an event that never happened and that was in fact a made up Fraud. I just fought back....
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 6, 2019
Trump continued his rant by saying, "This Russia hoax must never happen to another President," adding, "Law enforcement must find out, HOW DID IT START?"
.... against something I knew never existed, Collusion with Russia (so ridiculous!) - No Obstruction. This Russia Hoax must never happen to another President, and Law Enforcement must find out, HOW DID IT START?
- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 6, 2019
It is time for President Trump to go on offense and make the coup plotters pay for their crimes.
Here are the cold, hard facts:
Barack Obama and his crooked law enforcement agencies run by Comey, Clapper and Brennan all conspired to prevent Donald Trump from defeating Queen Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election.
Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid former British spy Christopher Steele millions of dollars to compile a phony 35-page dossier from Russian intel sources to smear Donald Trump.
Brennan, Clapper and Comey all promoted the fake dossier with help from the sycophants in the media.
The incredibly corrupt FBI Director James Comey allowed the bureau to use Hillary's phony dossier to obtain a FISA warrant and three subsequent renewals - Comey personally signed three FISA applications even though he admitted the dossier, which formed an essential part of obtaining the spy warrants, was unverified.
The coup plotters went into overdrive after Donald Trump won the 2016 election and launched an all out assault on Trump with a $30 million special counsel witch hunt.
Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel by DAG Rod Rosenstein after President Trump fired James Comey as FBI Director - Mueller packed his 'dream team' with over a dozen Obama-Hillary donors desperate to remove Trump from office.
It was also reported that DAG Rosenstein plotted to wear a wire and record President Trump in order to build a case to remove Trump from office via the 25th Amendment.
After a 2-year inquisition and multiple CI investigations where many lives and reputations were destroyed, Mueller concluded there was no Russian collusion.
Trump is right - this should never happen again to another president and there must be hell to pay for the perpetrators of this hoax.

Patriot Devin Nunes Op Ed yesterday!!
The Russian collusion hoax meets unbelievable end…
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/rep-devin-nunes-the-russian-collusion-hoax-meets-unbelievable-end
As the Russia collusion hoax hurtles toward its demise, it's important to consider how this destructive information operation rampaged through vital American institutions for more than two years, and what can be done to stop such a damaging episode from recurring.
While the hoax was fueled by a wide array of false accusations, misleading leaks of ostensibly classified information, and bad-faith investigative actions by government officials, one vital element was indispensable to the overall operation: the Steele dossier.
Funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee, which hid their payments from disclosure by funneling them through the law firm Perkins Coie, the dossier was a collection of false and often absurd accusations of collusion between Trump associates and Russian officials. These allegations, which relied heavily on Russian sources cultivated by Christopher Steele, were spoon-fed to Trump opponents in the U.S. government, including officials in law enforcement and intelligence.

You just can't make this stuff up. Or can you, anons?:
"Israeli Leader Rushes To Moscow After Putin Places Military On Combat Alert In Wake Of Trump Operatives Assassinating Son Of British Spy Chief"
"In yet another confirmation that our world is rapidly spinning out of control, a new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that shortly after President Putin ordered the bulk of Russian military forces on combat alert, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested an urgent emergency meeting in Moscow-a request granted, and will be a brief 4 April meeting where Putin and Netanyahu "will synchronize their watches"-a dire action needed to protect both nations as the secret war currently ongoing between the United States and Britain took a grim turn for the worst after believed to be President Trump operatives assassinated the son of British spy chief Alex Younger.
According to this report, the darkest day for the socialist elite class tyrannically ruling over the downtrodden British peoples occurred on 23 June 2016-and was when this nation's peoples staged a populist revolt against their leftist governing elite by voting to remove their country from the socialist-communist ruled over European Union-and that to this very day, sees Britain consumed in chaos, fears and uncertainty about its future.
The very last thing the socialist leaders of Britain needed in 2016 while their own citizens were staging a populist revolt, this report notes, were the American people doing the same thing-and whose peoples followed the lead of their British cousins by placing into power the populist leader Donald Trump-but whom the British spy agency MI6 tried to keep from power, and after his taking power, tried to destroy Trump.
President Trump, however, this report continues, moved quickly to crush the British coup against him-with MI6 bitterly fighting back against him-but that, nevertheless, saw Trump surviving, and after he was exonerated of the made up crimes MI6 and Hillary Clinton made against him, saw him ominously Tweeting out: "Russiagate was designed in part to help the UK counter Russian influence by baiting the United States into taking a hard line against them. Leaves us all with a more dangerous world as a consequence. Just another episode of the Great Game."
The "Russiagate" coup against President Trump, this report details, was instituted through a concerted British information warfare operation conducted by British MI6 agent Christopher Steele, assisted by former GCHQ head Robert Hannigan, and shepherded by Sir Richard Dearlove, the former MI6 head intimately involved in fabricating the lies which led the United States into the disastrous Iraq War-that saw Steele authoring the bogus dirty dossier claiming that Trump was in Putin's pocket and that Trump and Putin were colluding to steal the election-and it being concealed from the American people that Steele's work was paid for by the Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee and coordinated with the media by Obama's White House and intelligence chiefs, John Brennan and James Clapper.
With President Trump vowing revenge against all of those who plotted to overthrow him, this report notes, on 28 March, he sent an unmistakable "message" to President Putin for Russia to stay out of his way while he dealt with Britain-and was delivered via an unprecedented armada of US Air Force nuclear armed B-52 strategic bombers which Trump ordered to fly right up to the very border of Russia-and that was followed 48-hours later, on 30 March, by the news that the son of MI6 spy chief Alex Younger had been killed in an "unexplained" car crash on his family's Scottish estate.
While having to deal with the "unexplained" death of his son, this report continues, MI6 spy chief Alex Younger is, also, trying to protect himself from another body blow delivered to him by Trump-that involved suspected to be CIA operatives secretly revealing to the United Nations that British intelligence operatives were breaking international law by recruiting child soldiers in Yemen-and all of whose "secret" recruiting bases in Yemen were bombed over the past week on orders given by Trump-but that Britain can say nothing about, as to admit these bases existed would prove their crimes against humanity.
With President Trump seeking nothing less than the complete destruction of British Prime Minister Theresa May's government, that in turn would throw from power MI6 spy chief Alex Younger, this report concludes, this secret war between the United States and Britain now threatens to engulf the entire world-whose main The Great Game igniters always used and manipulated by British intelligence services, for over a century, are Russia and Israel-and that both President Putin and Prime Minister Netanyahu must now protect against to ensure it doesn't happen again."

Q Research General #7746: Anons Aint Afraid Of No Ghost. The Graveyard Edition
A group backed by liberal billionaire George Soros contributed millions of dollars to firms connected to Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, the author of the so-called Trump dossier.
nternal Revenue Service filings reveal The Democracy Integrity Project, founded in 2017 by a former staffer to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., $3.3 million was paid to Bean LLC., a holding company that oversees Fusion GPS. Separately, $250,000 was paid to London-based Walsingham Partners Ltd., which is owned by Steele and his business partner Christopher Burrows, the Daily Caller reports.
Fusion GPS then paid Steele almost $170,000 for a project that led to the dossier, which contains salacious information about President Trump and his relationship with Russia, and was published by BuzzFeed in January 2017.
Jones told the FBI in 2017 that seven to 10 donors financially backed the nonprofit. Additionally, attorney Adam Waldman who has ties to Steele, told the Senate Intelligence Committee in 2017 that Soros was one of the donors behind the nonprofit. The New York Times reported in 2018 that Soros contributed at least $1 million to the group.

GOP senators alert Barr to allegations that Mueller team misrepresented emails
Shortly before Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed his report on the Russia investigation last month, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., alerted Attorney General Bill Barr to what they described as the "selective" use of emails in Mueller court filings – as well as potential "improper political influence, misconduct, and mismanagement" in the FBI's original Russia probe. In a March 8 letter, Grassley and Graham referred Barr to a letter sent to Mueller in late 2017 that alleged his investigators had cherry-picked details from emails to include in court documents, urging him to review the materials. They also notified him that they had asked DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz a year earlier to review the original FBI probe.
It's unclear if Barr reviewed the senators' letter; a DOJ representative declined to comment on the missive. But Fox News is told the lawmakers wanted Barr to have this material before he reviewed the Mueller report, out of concern some emails were selectively quoted to give a "nefarious" impression. Fox News has also obtained the 2017 letter (above) from Grassley to Mueller, which spelled out the lawmakers' concerns about the "absence of additional context" in the court filings – as well as concerns over how those documents were covered in the media. "The glaring lack of [context] feeds speculation and innuendo that distorts the facts," Grassley wrote at the time.
In their March letter to Barr, Grassley and Graham pointed specifically to emails quoted in the Statement of Offense against former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos. That court filing said Papadopoulos emailed another campaign official in May 2016 with the subject line, "Request from Russia to meet Mr. Trump." The document said the email stated that Russia "has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss," adding in a footnote that the official forwarded the email to another campaign official asking to discuss: "We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips. It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal." The senators said media outlets then seized on the fragments to report a "Campaign official suggested 'low level' staff should go to Russia." However, they said the full emails – obtained from the Trump campaign – tell a different story.
"In full context, the emails in question actually show that the Trump Campaign wanted someone 'low level' to decline these types of invitations," Grassley and Graham wrote in the letter to Barr. The senators added: "Another citation was reported by some news outlets as evidence that the campaign, notably Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis, encouraged personnel to meet with the Russians." This line in the original court document said that a campaign supervisor (later identified as Clovis) told Papadopoulos "I would encourage you" and another adviser to "make the trip" if possible, with regard to a meeting with Russians. The senators wrote, however, that "additional context shows that Papadopoulos had conversations with representatives from multiple governments, not just Russia, and that Clovis had opposed any trip to Russia for Mr. Trump and the campaign." Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents in October 2017 in connection to the Russia investigation and is currently on a 12-month supervised release from federal prison. He is now seeking a pardon from Trump.
Meanwhile, in late February of last year, Graham and Grassley also sent a letter to Horowitz requesting that his office look into "potential improper political influence, misconduct, and mismanagement" of the counterintelligence and criminal investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia before Mueller's appointment. "The referral was based in part on materially inconsistent statements reportedly made by Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential election," their letter to Barr states. It continues: "The documents we have reviewed also raise questions about the role Bruce Ohr, a senior Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, had in passing allegations from Steele and Fusion GPS to the FBI after the FBI had terminated Mr. Steele as a source." The IG's office is reviewing potential surveillance abuses by the FBI, as well as leaks out of the bureau and improper gifts received by officials.

Sean Hannity says sources tell him 'extraordinarily damning' information coming out about DOJ, FBI
Fox News host Sean Hannity said Monday his sources are telling him information that could soon be released regarding alleged corruption at the Justice Department and FBI will be "extraordinarily damning."
He made the bold prediction about the so-called "five buckets of information" during an interview with Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, bringing up the upcoming criminal referral focusing on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.
"There are going to be criminal referrals issued this week by Chairman Nunes," Hannity said. "There are going to be - the president, I interviewed last week - there will be the FISA applications released. There will be [FBI] 302s released, [and] there will be Gang of Eight material. We've identified five buckets of information that will be extraordinarily damning. I know that to be the case, based on all of my sources."
Both Hannity and House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., have talked for months about fighting for the release of several "buckets" of information related to potential misconduct of federal officials.
Nunes says he is prepared to submit a criminal referral this week after President Trump said Wednesday he plans to release the unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants made during the early stages of the Russia investigation.
Meadows, who last month said an incoming release of documents will "show" U.S. ambassadors conspired with the FBI and the Justice Department to harm Trump, said there needs to be accountability for anyone who violates Americans' civil liberties.
"They're not going to like that, Sean. But I think you have the professor on tonight," he said. It's all about civil liberties and making sure those civil liberties are protected. If we cannot count on our government to protect those precious rights to privacy without warrants and warrantless searches, then we've got a real problem. Some of those criminal referrals are justified. Certainly some of the declassification that gets to the bottom of this is justified. At the same time, we have to protect our national security interests. "
Nunes has not named anyone who could appear in a referral, but he has railed against what he says is collusion between the Democrats and the Russians, pointing to use of the unverified Trump dossier by the FBI to obtain FISA warrants to spy on onetime Trump campaign official Carter Page as proof of an unraveling operation to undermine the president. That dossier, compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, was funded in part by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

A group backed by liberal billionaire George Soros contributed millions of dollars to firms connected to Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, the author of the so-called Trump dossier.
Internal Revenue Service filings reveal The Democracy Integrity Project, founded in 2017 by a former staffer to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., $3.3 million was paid to Bean LLC., a holding company that oversees Fusion GPS. Separately, $250,000 was paid to London-based Walsingham Partners Ltd., which is owned by Steele and his business partner Christopher Burrows, the Daily Caller reports.

Q Research General #7706: Malware Attempt On Mar-A-Lago Edition
Carter Page Had a More Important Use Beyond a FISA Warrant
It has never made sense that U.S. Person Carter Page was an FBI witness from 2013 through to March/May 2016 and yet in October 2016, to achieve a FISA warrant, the FBI called him an agent of a foreign government.
From October 2015 through early March 2016 Fusion GPS was assembling opposition research on all the GOP candidates. However, mid-March it became obvious Donald Trump was going to win, so all other efforts were side-lined and Trump becomes the Fusion-GPS focus.
5 July, After carefully negotiating issues with the Clinton email scandal, the FBI small group has successfully announced Hillary Clinton was 'extremely careless' but not 'intentionally grossly negligent'. The team timed the whitewash to conclude prior to the conventions.
21 July, Candidate Donald Trump has made his acceptance speech at the GOP convention in Columbus, Ohio. In ten days Operation Crossfire Hurricane will officially begin after CIA Director John Brennan gives FBI Director James Comey a two-page "electronic communication" memo to kick things off. Things are going according to plan.
28 July, Hillary Clinton accepts the democrat presidential nomination. The DOJ and FBI now get down to business conducting surveillance on the Trump campaign and defending Hillary's interests. Simultaneously, Glenn Simpson, Nellie Ohr and Mary Jacoby of Fusion-GPS have contracted with former British Intelligence Officer Christopher Steele to receive information from their research, verify it, enhance it, and compile it into a set of memos that can be used to align with the Russian conspiracy narrative constructed by Brennan.
31 July, There is now an official investigation, Crossfire Hurricane via the FBI, and an unofficial investigation, dossier assembly via Steele and Fusion, underway. Watch carefully, later it will become part of a collaborative effort to merge these two elements.
Crossfire Hurricane is ongoing. Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele are ongoing. The only thing not working according to plan is the media fully embracing the material being provided by Fusion and Steele and publishing it. The media are reluctant because the dossier material is almost impossible to validate and verify.
5 Augusth, former interim CIA Director Mike Morell publishes an Op-ed in the New York Times saying: "In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation."
25 August, Clinton gives a speech in Reno Nevada where she outlines how the "Alt Right" and Russian agents/bots are behind an effort to destroy her campaign. To many people the speech just seemed goofy and paranoid. She was mocked for it. Mysteriously Clinton disappeared for almost two weeks after that "Alt Right" speech, and resurfaced on September 11th in New York for a 9/11 event.
29 September, the FBI received word from New York that new Clinton emails were uncovered in the Weiner/Abedin laptop. Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok buried the issue, assuming (hoping) that Clinton would win the election.
19 October, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump square off in their final debate. During the debate Clinton calls Trump "a puppet of Putin". Clinton suggested that Trump would be a "puppet" for Putin, who has a "very clear favorite in this race." "No, you're the puppet!" Trump responded.
21 October, the FBI rushed an application to the FISA court for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against U.S. person Carter Page.
The FBI didn't need the FISA warrant for additional investigation. The FBI needed a Russia narrative and to protect themselves from Trump. The FBI needed the Steele Dossier to justify their pre-existing investigation and mount a defense in the event of a Trump victory. It was the Steele Dossier they needed.
Without Carter Page, the Steele Dossier is an assembled political file with a bunch of speculative claims about the opposition campaign of a presidential candidate. Without Carter Page, the Steele Dossier is a binder of information, a file, sitting on a desk at the FBI essentially useless. It also came in AFTER their surveillance/investigation began.
The FBI didn't use the Steele Dossier as a way to exploit Carter Page for a FISA warrant against the Trump campaign. The FBI used Carter Page as a way to inject the Steele Dossier into a pre-existing investigation of the Trump campaign.
The Dossier was used to validate and justify, albeit fraudulently, a pre-existing investigation. That pre-existing counterintelligence investigation, a political surveillance operation under the color of FBI legitimacy, originated from the sketchy Brennan intelligence operation in early 2016.

Q Research General #7703: NOT THE AVOCADOS! Edition
Holy shit, Nellie Ohr brazenly LIED to Congressional investigators about her ham radio license… she claimed she got it in 2015 well before her employment at Fusion GPS, but FOIA docs prove she got it May 23, 2016, right in the thick of the Trump Russia frame-up.
This is a big one.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/04/02/confirmed-nellie-ohr-lied-about-ham-radio-to-congress/
Nellie Ohr is the wife of DOJ official Bruce Ohr. Nellie Ohr, a specialist in Russian matters, was also a contract employee of the CIA for multiple years. In September 2015 Nellie Ohr approached her former colleague at Fusion GPS (Glenn Simpson) for a job.
Nellie Ohr was hired as a contract agent by Fusion to work on the 'Trump Project' assembling political opposition research that was later shared with another Fusion GPS contract employee, Christopher Steele, and compiled into the 'Steele Dossier'.
It always seemed sketchy that at the same time Nellie Ohr began communicating with Christopher Steele and other governmental participants associated with the Steele Dossier, May 2016, she applied for a Ham Radio License [FCC LINK]:
During congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr was asked when and why she obtained the Ham radio operators license. Ms. Ohr testified she obtained the license in 2015, "well before" she began working for Fusion GPS. Obviously this statement conflicts with the public FCC record showing she obtained the license in May 2016.
Just to make sure the public FCC link date was accurate, Techno Fog filed a FOIA request to verify the application and approval date. The result was confirmation of May 23, 2016:
The application date matches the FCC public information record of May 23rd, 2016. So it's now confirmed that Nellie Ohr lied to congress.
If, as Mrs Ohr claimed, this was just taking up a hobby, an innocuous and unrelated event in the life of a former CIA contract employee, then why lie about it?
It would appear there's much more to this…

DOJ's Bruce Ohr Shared Email Address with Fusion GPS Contractor Wife
In his own testimony, Bruce Ohr recounted maintaining direct contact with dossier author Christopher Steele even after the former British spy was terminated as an FBI source over reports that Steele was communicating with reporters. In doing so, Ohr lent credibility to a Republican House Intelligence Committee memo alleging that he served as a back-channel between the FBI and Christopher Steele, who penned the dossier for Fusion GPS.

Dick Morris: Now that Mueller Won't Verify the Allegations, It's Time To Shoot the Alligators
With the failure of the Mueller investigation to find any credible evidence of collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign, the time has come to hold to account the DOJ, FBI and CIA officers who spread disinformation to compromise the president.
As John Solomon wrote in The Hill: "Accountability also must be handed out in the court of public opinion, where senior members of Congress, such as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), and former members of the intelligence community, such as John Brennan and James Clapper, along with several major news organizations, spun tall stories of a Watergate-sized criminal conspiracy between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin."
These pundits must not be allowed to follow their false doomsday reports with more columns and opinions without holding them accountable for having misled us for years.
An "I'm sorry to have bothered you," won't cut it. These breathless media leaks, and the complicity of the liberal media in featuring them, were designed first to defeat, then to discredit, and, finally, to impeach the president.
Donald Trump would be within his rights to ask, as former Labor Secretary Ray Donovan asked after he was cleared of corruption charges: "Which office do I go to to get my reputation back?"
TRENDING: Trump Explodes on 'Witch Hunt' After Richard Burr Reaches Conclusion on Russia: 'We Have Found No Collusion'
The Trump presidency was not allowed a proper birth as phony, doctored, fabricated and false charges of collusion with Russia dogged its opening months and years. Trump has had to run the country while under a false cloud from day one.
The damage to his credibility and presidency are incalculable.
Now that the allegations have been disproven, it is time, metaphorically (you need to add that these days) to shoot the alligators.
They are still on patrol in the swamp, passing out disinformation and lies masquerading as intelligence. The partisans at the CIA, DOJ and FBI who framed Trump need to be investigated, subpoenaed, deposed and, if necessary, indicted.
The conspiracy to frame Trump began deep in the bowels of the offices of Hillary's secret police, the detectives who silence critics and slander women to protect the reputations of the Clintons. Determined to craft a narrative that would discredit Trump, they hired Fusion GPS to help concoct a dossier filled with false and lurid tales of collusion.
We now know that the dossier was largely written by Nellie Ohr and Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS. Nellie, of course, is also the wife of Bruce Ohr, the number four person at the Justice Department.
To lend their fantasies credibility, they paid former British spy Christopher Steele to slap his name - and reputation - on the dossier and, armed with that credibility, induced Sen. John McCain to have his staff give the dossier to the FBI.
There, in the overtly partisan hands of Director of Counterintelligence Andrew McCabe and his aides Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the dossier became an "insurance" policy in the unlikely event that Trump got elected.
Then, media leaks did the rest, seeming to implicate the president in the most unholy of conspiracies to collaborate with Russia to subvert our election.

Firms Tied To Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele Were Paid $3.8 Million By Soros-Backed Group
The Democracy Integrity Project, a nonprofit that receives funding from George Soros, paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017.
Tax filings show that The Democracy Integrity Project provided its research to "government entities."
The group's founder, a former staffer for Dianne Feinstein, has described it as a "shadow media organization" that helps the government.
A nonprofit group partially funded by billionaire activist George Soros paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and dossier author Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017 to provide research and analysis to "government entities," according to IRS filings.
The payments made by The Democracy Integrity Project are more than three times what the DNC and the Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS and Steele during the 2016 presidential campaign to investigate Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia.
Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the DNC and Clinton campaign, paid $1 million to Fusion GPS in 2016 to investigate Trump. Fusion GPS in turn paid Steele, a former MI6 officer, nearly $170,000 for a project that resulted in the infamous Steele dossier.
Steele's report, which alleged a "well-coordinated conspiracy" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, has come under intense scrutiny in the wake of the special counsel's findings in the 22-month Russia probe.
Daniel J. Jones, a former staffer to California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, founded TDIP on Jan. 31, 2017, seemingly to resume Democrats' investigation of Trump's possible links to Russia.
Jones operated what he called a "shadow media organization helping the government" to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He also told the FBI in March 2017 that he received funding from a group of between seven and 10 wealthy donors and that he planned to provide information to federal investigators, the press and lawmakers.
TDIP's tax filing confirms some aspects of what has been reported about the group.
The group planned to work with a "network of experienced organizations and individuals" to gather information on foreign actors' efforts to interfere in democratic elections around the world," according to TDIP's 2017 form 990, which is listed in a database maintained by ProPublica,
TDIP also says it provides "original, credible, and fact-based information" to a variety of organizations, including "government entities."
The 990 form lists five separate independent contractors, including four that provided "research consulting," and one law firm, Zuckerman Spaeder.
The group paid $3.3 million to Bean LLC., the holding company that controls Fusion GPS. Another $250,000 was paid to Walsingham Partners Ltd., a London-based firm owned by Steele and his partner, Christopher Burrows.
TDIP paid another London-based intelligence firm called Istok Associates Ltd. nearly $150,000, also for "research consulting." The company has released investigative reports looking into whether Russia helped fund the Brexit campaign.
Nearly $130,000 was paid to Edward Austin Ltd., a London-based intelligence consultancy operated by Edward Baumgartner, a Fusion GPS contractor. Another $148,000 was paid to the law firm Zuckerman Spaeder, which has represented Fusion GPS in a variety of dossier-related legal matters.
The full extent of TDIP's work remains a mystery, as do the identities of most of the organization's donors.
Real Clear Investigations reported on March 20 that TDIP sends out daily newsletters with a roundup of news stories about the special counsel's investigation and other Trump-related matters.

Q Research General #7692: Extraordinarily Damning Information Edition
Firms Tied To Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele Were Paid $3.8 Million By Soros-Backed Group
The Democracy Integrity Project, a nonprofit that receives funding from George Soros, paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017.
Tax filings show that The Democracy Integrity Project provided its research to "government entities."
The group's founder, a former staffer for Dianne Feinstein, has described it as a "shadow media organization" that helps the government.
A nonprofit group partially funded by billionaire activist George Soros paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and dossier author Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017 to provide research and analysis to "government entities," according to IRS filings.>>6014197
The payments made by The Democracy Integrity Project are more than three times what the DNC and the Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS and Steele during the 2016 presidential campaign to investigate Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia.
Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the DNC and Clinton campaign, paid $1 million to Fusion GPS in 2016 to investigate Trump. Fusion GPS in turn paid Steele, a former MI6 officer, nearly $170,000 for a project that resulted in the infamous Steele dossier.
Steele's report, which alleged a "well-coordinated conspiracy" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, has come under intense scrutiny in the wake of the special counsel's findings in the 22-month Russia probe.
Daniel J. Jones, a former staffer to California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, founded TDIP on Jan. 31, 2017, seemingly to resume Democrats' investigation of Trump's possible links to Russia.
Jones operated what he called a "shadow media organization helping the government" to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He also told the FBI in March 2017 that he received funding from a group of between seven and 10 wealthy donors and that he planned to provide information to federal investigators, the press and lawmakers.
TDIP's tax filing confirms some aspects of what has been reported about the group.
The group planned to work with a "network of experienced organizations and individuals" to gather information on foreign actors' efforts to interfere in democratic elections around the world," according to TDIP's 2017 form 990, which is listed in a database maintained by ProPublica,
TDIP also says it provides "original, credible, and fact-based information" to a variety of organizations, including "government entities."
The 990 form lists five separate independent contractors, including four that provided "research consulting," and one law firm, Zuckerman Spaeder.
The group paid $3.3 million to Bean LLC., the holding company that controls Fusion GPS. Another $250,000 was paid to Walsingham Partners Ltd., a London-based firm owned by Steele and his partner, Christopher Burrows.
TDIP paid another London-based intelligence firm called Istok Associates Ltd. nearly $150,000, also for "research consulting." The company has released investigative reports looking into whether Russia helped fund the Brexit campaign.
Nearly $130,000 was paid to Edward Austin Ltd., a London-based intelligence consultancy operated by Edward Baumgartner, a Fusion GPS contractor. Another $148,000 was paid to the law firm Zuckerman Spaeder, which has represented Fusion GPS in a variety of dossier-related legal matters.

Sean Hannity says sources tell him 'extraordinarily damning' information coming out about DOJ, FBI
Fox News host Sean Hannity said Monday his sources are telling him information that could soon be released regarding alleged corruption at the Justice Department and FBI will be "extraordinarily damning."
He made the bold prediction about the so-called "five buckets of information" during an interview with Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Harvard Law School Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz, bringing up the upcoming criminal referral focusing on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.
"There are going to be criminal referrals issued this week by Chairman Nunes," Hannity said. "There are going to be - the president, I interviewed last week - there will be the FISA applications released. There will be [FBI] 302s released, [and] there will be Gang of Eight material. We've identified five buckets of information that will be extraordinarily damning. I know that to be the case, based on all of my sources."
Both Hannity and House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., have talked for months about fighting for the release of several "buckets" of information related to potential misconduct of federal officials.
Nunes says he is prepared to submit a criminal referral this week after President Trump said Wednesday he plans to release the unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants made during the early stages of the Russia investigation.
Meadows, who last month said an incoming release of documents will "show" U.S. ambassadors conspired with the FBI and the Justice Department to harm Trump, said there needs to be accountability for anyone who violates Americans' civil liberties.
"They're not going to like that, Sean. But I think you have the professor on tonight," he said. It's all about civil liberties and making sure those civil liberties are protected. If we cannot count on our government to protect those precious rights to privacy without warrants and warrantless searches, then we've got a real problem. Some of those criminal referrals are justified. Certainly some of the declassification that gets to the bottom of this is justified. At the same time, we have to protect our national security interests. "
Nunes has not named anyone who could appear in a referral, but he has railed against what he says is collusion between the Democrats and the Russians, pointing to use of the unverified Trump dossier by the FBI to obtain FISA warrants to spy on onetime Trump campaign official Carter Page as proof of an unraveling operation to undermine the president. That dossier, compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, was funded in part by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Firms Tied To Fusion GPS, Christopher Steele Were Paid $3.8 Million By Soros-Backed Group
The Democracy Integrity Project, a nonprofit that receives funding from George Soros, paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017.
Tax filings show that The Democracy Integrity Project provided its research to "government entities."
The group's founder, a former staffer for Dianne Feinstein, has described it as a "shadow media organization" that helps the government.
A nonprofit group partially funded by billionaire activist George Soros paid firms tied to Fusion GPS and dossier author Christopher Steele more than $3.8 million in 2017 to provide research and analysis to "government entities," according to IRS filings.
The payments made by The Democracy Integrity Project are more than three times what the DNC and the Clinton campaign paid Fusion GPS and Steele during the 2016 presidential campaign to investigate Donald Trump's possible ties to Russia.
Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the DNC and Clinton campaign, paid $1 million to Fusion GPS in 2016 to investigate Trump. Fusion GPS in turn paid Steele, a former MI6 officer, nearly $170,000 for a project that resulted in the infamous Steele dossier.
Steele's report, which alleged a "well-coordinated conspiracy" between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, has come under intense scrutiny in the wake of the special counsel's findings in the 22-month Russia probe.
Daniel J. Jones, a former staffer to California Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, founded TDIP on Jan. 31, 2017, seemingly to resume Democrats' investigation of Trump's possible links to Russia.
Jones operated what he called a "shadow media organization helping the government" to investigate Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He also told the FBI in March 2017 that he received funding from a group of between seven and 10 wealthy donors and that he planned to provide information to federal investigators, the press and lawmakers.
TDIP's tax filing confirms some aspects of what has been reported about the group.
The group planned to work with a "network of experienced organizations and individuals" to gather information on foreign actors' efforts to interfere in democratic elections around the world," according to TDIP's 2017 form 990, which is listed in a database maintained by ProPublica,
TDIP also says it provides "original, credible, and fact-based information" to a variety of organizations, including "government entities."
The 990 form lists five separate independent contractors, including four that provided "research consulting," and one law firm, Zuckerman Spaeder.

Q Research General #7687: 'The Kenyan Did It' Defense Edition
Johnstone: Leaked '401'-Page Mueller Report Proves Barr Lied, Collusion Theorists Vindicated
Authored by Caitlin Johnstone via Medium.com,
An unredacted copy of the Robert Mueller report has been leaked to theWashington Post, who published the full document on its website Monday.
The report contains many shocking revelations which prove that Attorney General William Barr deceived the world in his summary of its contents, as astute Trump-Russia collusion theorists have been claiming since it emerged.
For example, while Barr's excerpted quote from the report may read like a seemingly unequivocal assertion, "[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities," it turns out that the full sentence reads very differently:
"It is totally not the case that the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities."
The following sentence is even more damning: "It definitely did establish that that happened."
The report goes on to list the evidence for numerous acts of direct conspiracy between Trump allies and the Russian government, including a detailed description of the footage from an obtained copy of the notorious "kompromat" video, in which Trump is seen paying Russian prostitutes to urinate on a bed once slept in by Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as other documents fully verifying the entire Christopher Steele dossier which was published by BuzzFeed in January 2017.
Other evidence listed in the report includes communication transcripts in which Russian President Vladimir Putin is seen ordering President Trump to bomb Syria, stage a coup in Venezuela, arm Ukraine, escalate against Russia in America's Nuclear Posture Review, withdraw from the INF treaty and the Iran deal, undermine Russia's fossil fuel interests in Germany, expand NATO, and maintain a large military presence near Russia's border.
These things were done, according to Putin, in order to "keep things interesting."
Mueller told reporters Monday morning that there would indeed be mass indictments of large numbers of Trump associates revealed in the near future, including Jared Kushner and Donald Trump, Jr, just as the diligent journalism of MSNBC and other respected news media outlets have been assuring. Mueller said the delay in the arrests, and the mountain of evidence which will surely lead to Trump's impeachment, was due to the need to "cross a few 't's and dot a few 'i's."
When asked why he didn't reveal to the public that Barr was misrepresenting the contents of his report, Mueller responded with a mischievous grin, "I didn't want to spoil the surprise." He then put on a pair of sunglasses and rode off on a motorcycle due east into the rising sun, while the smooth notes of a single saxophone resounded through the D.C. cityscape.
Needless to say, this completely vindicates the many alert reporters who rightly pointed out that Barr's assertions about the Mueller report could be gravely dishonest, and that there was no way to know whether or not it had determined collusion between Trump and the Russian government. In a greater sense, it vindicates everyone who has spent the last three years focusing all public attention on the suspicion that the Kremlin could possibly have infiltrated the highest levels of the US government. In an even greater sense, it vindicates America, and it vindicates our very souls.
I feel a bit sheepish writing all this, because I've been a very vocal critic of the Russian collusion narrative from the very beginning. It turns out that by voicing skepticism and demanding evidence for a news story that dominated political discourse to the near exclusion of all else, I was actually assisting the Russian government in its war against democracy, truth, and justice.
Obviously I owe the world a very big apology. I'm sorry for calling the Russiagaters idiots, morons, drooling imbeciles, stupid, gullible sheep, foam-brained human livestock, tinfoil pussyhat-wearing delusional conspiracy theorists, demented cold war-enabling McCarthyite bootlickers, oafish slug-headed slime creatures, energy-sucking, CIA-coddling wastes of space and oxygen, and an embarrassment to the human species. Clearly, because of their indisputable vindication this April the first 2019, they are definitely none of these things.

Solomon: There Should Be 'In-Depth Interviews' With Obama, Clinton About FISA Warrant, Dossier
In an interview with Mark Levin on "Life, Liberty & Levin" airing Sunday at 10 PM ET, journalists John Solomon and Sara A. Carter reacted to the close of the Mueller investigation and what should happen next. Levin asked Solomon what President Obama knew during the time his Justice Department was seeking a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance warrant to spy on Carter Page, a member of the Trump campaign team. Levin, who was the deputy attorney general to Reagan's top lawman Edwin Meese, said that if such an occasion presented itself in the 1980s, Meese would have "taken a car right over to the president to fill him in."
"Is Barack Obama the only human being on the planet who didn't know anything [about the warrant to spy]?" Levin asked. Solomon said Obama needs to be formally interviewed by the feds on what he knew and when he knew it. "Why wasn't [Obama] interested in Russian collusion before the election but [was interested] after the election?" he asked.
Solomon said Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) should also be interviewed to see how much she knew about the contact between former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson and ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele. Simpson, who worked at the time for opposition research firm Fusion GPS, reportedly worked with Steele to compile the disputed "Trump dossier." Carter added that Obama's United Nations ambassador, Samantha Power, is not often mentioned in regard to the collusion case, but that the Ireland native should be asked why she "unmasked" hundreds of individuals during her tenure.

Take Conflict of Interest
Andrew McCabe never should have been in charge of the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton, given that just months earlier his wife had been the recipient of $675,000 in campaign cash donated by Clinton and Democratic Party-affiliated political action committees. And the apology of a "time line" that suggests conflicts of interest like McCabe's expired after an arbitrary date is specious. McCabe knew his spouse had been a recent recipient of Clinton-related money, knew that he had substantial influence on the fate of her email investigation, and hoped and assumed that she was likely to be the next president of the United States quite soon.
Rod Rosenstein never should have been appointed acting attorney general in charge of oversight of the Mueller investigation. He knew Mueller well. In circular fashion, he had drafted the rationale to fire Comey that had prompted the Mueller's appointment. He had signed off on a FISA warrant request without apprising the court of the true nature of the Steele dossier's origins and nature. He had met shortly before the Mueller appointment with acting FBI director Andrew McCabe to investigate the chance of removing Trump under a distortion of the 25th Amendment. So, in essence, Rosenstein had been one of the catalysts for McCabe to investigate removing Trump for his own part in the removal of Comey and then in Orwellian fashion joined McCabe's efforts.
Comey deliberately leaked a classified memo of a presidential conversation, in which he had misled the president about his actual status under FBI investigations, in order to cause enough media outrage over his firing to prompt the hiring of a special counsel. That gambit succeeded in the appointment of his own longtime associate Robert Mueller, who would be charged to investigate "collusion," in which Comey played an important role in monitoring the Trump campaign with the assistance of British national Christopher Steele.
Robert Mueller did not need to appoint a legal team inordinately Democratic, which included attorneys who had been either donors to the Clinton campaign, or had been attorneys for Clinton aides, or had defended the Clinton Foundation. And he certainly should not have included on his investigative team that was charged with adjudicating Russian collusion in the 2016 election both Zainab Ahmad and Andrew Weissman, Obama Justice Department officials, who had been briefed by Bruce Ohr before the election on the nature of the Steele dossier and its use of foreign sources.
It will be difficult to unravel all of the above lying, distortion, and unethical and illegal conduct.
The motives of these bad actors are diverse, but they share a common denominator. As Washington politicos and administrative state careerists, all of them believed that Donald Trump was so abhorrent that he should be prevented from winning the 2016 election. After his stunning and shocking victory, they assumed further that either he should not be inaugurated or he should be removed from office as soon as they could arrange it.
They further reasoned that as high and esteemed unelected officials their efforts were above and beyond the law, and rightly so, given their assumed superior wisdom and morality.
Finally, if their initial efforts were predicated on winning not just exemption from the law, but even promotions and kudos from a grateful President Hillary Clinton, their subsequent energies at removing Trump and investing in the collusion hoax were preemptive and defensive. Seeding the collusion hoax was a way either of removing Trump who had the presidential power to call them all to account for their illegality, or at least causing so much media chaos and political havoc that their own crimes and misdemeanors would be forgotten by becoming submerged amid years of scandal, conspiracies, and media sensationalism.
And they were almost-but so far not quite-correct in all their assumptions.

Former FBI general counsel James Baker is currently under criminal referral for improperly leaking classified documents. He seems to have been in contact with the media before the election and he may have been one of many FBI officials and contacts, along with Christopher Steele, that reporters such as David Corn, Michael Isikoff, and Julia Ioffe anonymously referenced in their pre-election published hit pieces on Russian collusion-all the result of the successful strategies of Fusion GPS, along with some in the FBI, to seed unverified anti-Trump gossip to warp the election. Andrew McCabe also is under criminal referral both for leaking classified information and then lying about it.
In a fashion emblematic of this entire sordid mess, the always ethically compromised James Clapper in January 2017 had leaked the dossier to Jake Tapper of CNN and likely other journalists and then shortly afterwards publicly deplored just this sort of government leaking that had led to sensational stories about the dossier.
Take Obstruction of Justice
A number of FBI and Department of Justice high ranking employees such as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Rod Rosenstein, and Sally Yates all signed off on FISA warrants to surveille Carter Page without apprising the courts that they knew that their chief evidence, the Steele Dossier, was unverified, was paid for by Hillary Clinton, and was used in circular fashion as the basis for news accounts presented to the court. Nor did the Justice Department and FBI officials apprise the FISA justices that Christopher Steele had been terminated as a FBI source.
No one believes that former Attorney General Loretta Lynch just happened to meet Bill Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac and confined their conservations to a variety of topics having nothing to do with Hillary Clinton-at a time when Lynch's Justice Department was investigating her. Note the meeting was only disclosed because a reporter got a tip and arrived on the scene of the two adjoining Lynch and Clinton private jets-which suggests that the only thing Lynch and Clinton regretted was being found out. Few believe that Lynch had recused herself as she promised, given her strict oversight of the sort of language Comey's FBI was allowed to use in its investigation of Clinton.

Brennan in 2016 also reached out to foreign intelligence services, primary British and Australian, to surveille and entrap Trump aides, as a way of circumventing rules preventing CIA monitoring of American citizens. And he may well have also reverse-targeted Americans, under the guise of monitoring foreign nationals, in order to build a case of so-called Trump collusion.
Finally, Brennan testified to Congress in May 2017 that he had not been earlier aware of the dossier or its contents before the election, although in August 2016 it is almost certain that he had briefed Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on it in a spirited effort to have Reid pressure the FBI to keep or expand its counterintelligence investigation of Trump during the critical final weeks of the election.
Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin likely also lied to FBI investigators when they claimed they had no knowledge while working at the State Department that their boss, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, was using an illegal private email server. In fact, they had read her communications on it and actually inquired about its efficacy.
Samantha Power, the former U.N. ambassador, in her last year in office requested on more than 260 occasions to unmask names of Americans monitored by the government. Yet Power later claimed that most of these requests were not made by her. And yet she either does not know or does not cite who exactly used her name to make such requests during the election cycle. In any case, no one has come forward to admit to the improper use of Power's name to request the hundreds of unmaskings.
Susan Rice, the former Obama national security advisor, could have made a number of unmasking requests in Power's name, although she initially denied making any requests in her own name-a lie she immediately amended. Rice, remember, repeatedly lied on national television about the cause and origins of the Benghazi attack, denied there were cash payments for hostages in the Iran deal, misled about the conduct of Beau Bergdahl, and prevaricated over the existence and destruction of weapons of mass destruction in Syria.
Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr did not tell the truth on a federal written disclosure required by law when he omitted the key fact that his wife Nellie worked on Christopher Steele's Fusion GPS dossier. Ohr's testimony that he completely briefed key FBI officials on the dossier in July or August 2016 is not compatible to what former FBI attorney Lisa Page has testified to concerning the dates of her own knowledge of the Steele material.
Take Foreign Collusion
Christopher Steele is a foreign national. So are many of the Russian sources that he claims he had contacted to solicit dirt on Donald Trump and his campaign aides. In fact, John Brennan's CIA, soon in consultation with the FBI, was used in circuitous fashion to facilitate surveillance of Donald Trump's campaign through the use of foreign nationals during the 2016 campaign.
Foreigners such as Maltese professor Josef Mifsud, and former Australian minister for foreign affairs Alexander Downer and an array of intelligence contractors from the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) mysteriously met with minor Trump aide George Papadopoulos and others. It is likely that to disguise American intelligence agencies' efforts to besmirch, surveille, and leak to the press damaging unfounded rumors about the Trump campaign that John Brennan enlisted an entire cadre of foreign nationals. And it is likely to be the most egregious example of using non-U.S. citizens to affect the outcome of an election in our history. If there is a crime of foreign collusion-a conspiracy of U.S. officials to use foreigners to interfere with an American election-then Brennan's efforts are the textbook example.
Take Leaking
Many of the names unmasked by requests from Samantha Power and Susan Rice were leaked illegally to the media. James Comey himself leaked confidential memos of presidential conversations to the press; in at least one case, the memo was likely classified.

"'The Tables Turn in Russian Collusion Hunt'"
The irony of the entire Russian collusion hoax is that accusers who cried the loudest about leaking, collusion, lying, and obstruction are themselves soon very likely to be accused of just those crimes.
Now that Robert Mueller's 674-day, $30 million investigation is over and has failed to find the original goal of its mandate-evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government to sway the 2016 election-and now that thousands of once-sealed government documents will likely be released in unredacted form, those who eagerly assumed the role of the hunters may become the hunted, due to their own zealous violation of the nation's trust and its laws.
Take Lying
Former FBI Director James Comey's testimonies cannot be reconciled with those of his own deputy director Andrew McCabe. He falsely testified that the Steele dossier was not the main basis for obtaining FISA court warrants.
Andrew McCabe currently is under criminal referral for lying to federal investigators about leaking to the media.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper has admitted to lying under oath to Congress-and since lied about his earlier admission of that lying.
Former CIA Director John Brennan has admitted to lying under oath to Congress on two occasions. He may well face further legal exposure.
Take Foreign Collusion
Christopher Steele is a foreign national. So are many of the Russian sources that he claims he had contacted to solicit dirt on Donald Trump and his campaign aides.

That Sambei has been so thoroughly linked to organizations where Mifsud was a central figure is yet another cause of suspicion regarding allegations that Joseph Mifsud was a shadowy, unknown Russian agent until the summer of 2016. She is also a direct link between Robert Mueller and Mifsud.
Blackburn wrote via Twitter: "Arvinder Sambei helped to organize LCILP's counter-terrorism and corruption events. She used her contacts in the US to bring in Middle Eastern government officials that were seen to be vulnerable to graft. Lisa Osofsky, former FBI Deputy General Counsel, was working with her." Below, Arvinder is pictured at a London Centre of International Law Practice (LCILP) event.

As Chris Blackburn told this author: "Mifsud and Papadopoulos's co-director Arvinder Sambei was also the former FBI British counsel working 9/11 cases for Robert Mueller. She also runs a consultancy which deals with Special Investigative Measure (SIMs) which is just a posh description for covert espionage and evidence gathering. She has worked for major intelligence and national law agencies in the past. She wore two hats as a director of London Centre and a consultant for the Global Center on Cooperative Security (GCCS), a counter-terrorism think tank which is sponsored by the Australia, Canada, UK and US governments. Alexander Downer's former Chief of Staff while at the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade now works for the Global Center. Mifsud was also due to meet with Australian private intelligence figures in Adelaide in March 2016. So. Australia is certainly a major focus for the investigation." [Emphasis Added]
Below, former FBI Deputy General Counsel Lisa Osofsky is pictured at a London Centre for International Law Practice event.

An Embarrassment For John Brennan?
Disobedient Media previously reported that Robert Hannigan, then head of British spy agency GCHQ, flew to Washington DC to share 'director-to-director' level intelligence with then-CIA Chief John Brennan in the summer of 2016. This writer noted that "... The Guardian reported Hannigan's announcement that he would step down from his leadership position with the agency just three days after the inauguration of President Trump, on 23 January 2017. Jane Mayer, in her profile of Christopher Steele published in the New Yorker, also noted that Hannigan had flown to Washington D.C. to personally brief the then-CIA Director John Brennan on alleged communications between the Trump campaign and Moscow. What is so curious about this briefing "deemed so sensitive it was handled at director-level" is why Hannigan was talking director-to-director to the CIA and not Mike Rogers at the NSA, GCHQ's Five Eyes intelligence-sharing partner."

Q Research General #7662: 5G Is The Smallpox Blanket Of Our Time Edition
Rudy Giuliani: Andrew McCabe, Christopher Steele & Bruce Ohr Should Be in Prison
Appearing Saturday evening on the Fox News Channel's Justice, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told Jeanine Pirro that fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and demoted Justice Department official Bruce Ohr should be in prison for perjury, conflicts of interest and other alleged crimes.
A partial transcript is as follows:
JEANINE PIRRO: What we've got is this report not only exonerated the president, it indicted the FBI, the DOJ, and there was a time when you and I would be talking and we'd say "Jeff Sessions is the Attorney General. Nothing's gonna happen." Will something happen now?
RUDY GIULIANI: First of all, I know you agree with me. The people it indicts are the corrupted politicians at the top of the FBI and DOJ. No field office of the FBI is implicated in this, no agent who sacrificing his life to protect us. It's a bunch of these phony politicians at the top who corrupt themselves because they want to suck up to whoever's in power. I would describe Comey that way, a whole bunch of other people like that. McCabe, his wife running for office, getting millions of dollars from Hillary. These are suck-up politicians. They're not FBI agents like you know who are police officers-
PIRRO: Right, not the guys you and I worked for-
GIULIANI: The guys who go out and arrest people, put their lives on the live. My god, their hands would shake if they had to do that.
PIRRO: Yes.
GIULIANI: So, that's who we're talking about-
PIRRO: Right, the upper echelon.
GIULIANI: What they did here, I believe over the next six months we're going to uncover evidence that what they did here was criminal. This whole thing of collusion isn't true. I was with Donald Trump for the last five months of the campaign. He didn't ever talk to a Russian, he had nothing to do with a Russian. As he would point out, I don't speak Russian. What are they doing this for?
PIRRO: Right.
GIULIANI: Somebody made this up, Jeanine. Somebody conceived this and they superimposed it and then they went out and tried to prove it. And we have to find out who's the brains behind this? Four, five possibilities. I think we'll find them. I think that Lindsey Graham will help. But, I think we need a Justice Department investigation of who tried to perpetrate a fraud on the American people.
PIRRO: Why haven't we heard about, or from, Christopher Steele, the people from Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson?
GIULIANI: They should all be in jail.
PIRRO: Right, you and I agree on that. [...]
GIULIANI: Why is McCabe running around selling his book when he should be in jail for perjury? Why is Ohr and his wife, when he should be in jail for conflicts of interest, and maybe, bribery?

Rudy Giuliani: Andrew McCabe, Christopher Steele & Bruce Ohr Should Be in Prison
First of all, I know you agree with me. The people it indicts are the corrupted politicians at the top of the FBI and DOJ. No field office of the FBI is implicated in this, no agent who sacrificing his life to protect us. It's a bunch of these phony politicians at the top who corrupt themselves because they want to suck up to whoever's in power. I would describe Comey that way, a whole bunch of other people like that. McCabe, his wife running for office, getting millions of dollars from Hillary. These are suck-up politicians. They're not FBI agents like you know who are police officers-
PIRRO: Right, not the guys you and I worked for-
GIULIANI: The guys who go out and arrest people, put their lives on the live. My god, their hands would shake if they had to do that.
PIRRO: Yes.

April 4, 2018 Elizabeth Vos
Over the last few months, Professor Joseph Mifsud has become a feather in the cap for those pushing the Trump-Russia narrative. He is characterized as a "Russian" intelligence asset in mainstream press, despite his declarations to the contrary. However, evidence has surfaced that suggests Mifsud was anything but a Russian spy, and may have actually worked for British intelligence. This new evidence culminates in the ground-breaking conclusion that the UK and its intelligence apparatus may be responsible for the invention of key pillars of the Trump-Russia scandal. If true, this would essentially turn the entire RussiaGate debacle on its head.
To give an idea of the scope of this report, a few central points showing the UK connections with the central pillars of the Trump-Russia claims are included here, in the order of discussion in this article:
Mifsud allegedly discussed that Russia has 'dirt' on Clinton in the form of 'thousands of emails' with George Papadopoulos in London in April 2016.
The following month, Papadopoulos spoke with Alexander Downer, Australia's ambassador to the UK, about the alleged Russian dirt on Clinton while they were drinking at a swanky Kensington bar, according to The Times. In late July 2016, Downer shared his tip with Australian intelligence officials who forwarded it to the FBI.
Robert Goldstone, a key figure in the 'Trump Tower' part of the RussiaGate narrative, sent Donald Trump Jr. an email claiming Russia wanted to help the Trump campaign. He is a British music promoter.
Christopher Steele, ex-MI6, who worked as an MI6 agent in Moscow until 1993 and ran the Russia desk at MI6 HQ in London between 2006 and 2009. He produced the totally unsubstantiated 'Steele Dossier' of Trump-Russia allegations, with funding from the Clinton campaign and the DNC.
Robert Hannigan, the head of British spy agency GCHQ, flew to Washington DC to share 'director-to-director' level intelligence with then-CIA Chief John Brennan.

Mueller Never Had a Good-Faith Basis to Pursue President Trump
The fizzling out of the corrupt Mueller investigation is great victory for the rule of law and our constitutional republic. Here is the statement I issued in response Attorney General Barr's initial summary of the special counsel's report.
The long, national nightmare is over and President Trump has been vindicated. The corruptly-created and constitutionally abusive Mueller investigation failed to find any evidence to support the big lie that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government.
We're pleased that AG Barr rejected Mueller's attempt to smear President Trump with obstruction of justice innuendo by concluding that no such charges could be credibly sustained. Frankly, Mueller never had a valid basis upon which to investigate President Trump for obstruction of justice.
Let's be clear, neither Mueller, the Obama FBI, DOJ, CIA, State Department, nor the Deep State ever had a good-faith basis to pursue President Trump on Russia collusion. Russia collusion wasn't just a hoax, it was criminal abuse, which is why Judicial Watch has fought and will continue to fight for Russiagate documents in federal court.
The targeting of President Trump served to protect Hillary Clinton and her enablers/co-conspirators in Obama administration from prosecution. Attorney General Barr can begin restoring the credibility of the Justice Department by finally initiating a thorough investigation of the Clinton emails and related pay-to-play scandals and the abuses behind the targeting of President Trump.
Judicial Watch has long called for the shutdown of the Mueller special counsel operation and has pursued dozens of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits in connection with the illicit targeting and other abuses of President Trump. Judicial Watch FOIA litigation exposed, for example:
The dossier-based Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant applications targeting President Trump
FBI payments to Christopher Steele
FBI firing of Steele
Extensive DOJ (Ohr) collusion w/Steele, Simpson, Fusion GPS
No court hearings by defrauded FISA courts before warrants were issued
Anti-Trump bias by Mueller deputy Andrew Weissmann
As you would expect, the Democrats are refusing to back down from their collusion lies. As I told the media this week, we must demand accountability for this attack on the Republic. Judicial Watch, not Congress nor the corrupt media, remains the best path forward for getting the full truth about the effort to overthrow President Trump, which is the worst corruption scandal in American history.

I'm reposting for moar eyes, not for any other reason
Regarding the Nellie Ohr transcript both her and her husband, Bruce Ohr were at the Christopher Steele breakfast meeting July 2016, plus another man, but neither recalled his name, or if it was ever stated
Bruce Ohr took copious notes and handed them to FBI re Steele but neither him or his wife of were the least bit curious or concerned that they were sharing confidential info on Donald Trump to an unknown person???? ==I think I know who the mystery man at breakfast was that worked for Orbis.==
The mystery man's name might well be Renwick Haddow (aka "Jonathan Black") who was one of the fund raisers in 2009, of the British passed private investigation firm Orbis Business Intelligence. And according SVR & Other intelligence agencies have joined a global manhunt for the former MI6 officer named Renwick Haddow who was known to associated with Anatoli Samochornov in NYC (US state Dept. 2005-17 Interpreter at Don Jr. Trump Tower meeting, also personal interpreter for BHO and HRC)
Haddow was indicted on multiple US money laundering and fraud charges in June 2017 by Trump appointed US attorney in 2017. But no one can fully explain how he got into the US in the first place or how the FBI let Haddow slip from their surveillance to become and international fugitive even was allowed to enter the US.
Intelligence Services say spy Renwick Haddow "is more than likely" running in fear for his life, with Zoe Miller (aka Chloe Miller), Ukrainian wife according to other articles.

Q Research General #7652: [THEY] Wanted You Silenced Edition
Among the concerns expressed by Hillyer is that treason is a legal term that refers to a very serious crime: making war against the United States, or giving aid and comfort to a declared enemy of the country. And yet, as Trump explained clearly on the campaign trail, there is smoking gun evidence that Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton deliberately armed, aided, and supported al Qaeda-led jihadists in their wars against Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi and later Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad. In fact, Trump posted a link that included a document from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency proving that one of the goals of that support for al Qaeda was to help create a "salafist principality" in Eastern Syria. Today, that principality is more commonly known as the Islamic State, or ISIS.
Beyond that, Trump has also taken aim at globalists and what he has described as a "criminal Deep State" working to undermine the United States and his administration to advance a global system. If globalists were to succeed in their publicly stated objective of "global governance" under what leading architects tout as a "New World Order," the United States would cease to exist, at least as an independent, self-governing constitutional republic. And so, it could be argued that anyone in government who swore an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and yet is deliberately working with America's enemies to subvert that Constitution and U.S. sovereignty is committing treason.
The press has suggested that the treason Trump has in mind is more mundane. Chief among the concerns are the ridiculously phony documents produced by discredited "former spy" Christopher Steele, an anti-Trump activist from the United Kingdom. Paid by a firm that was funded by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Steele produced the so-called "dirty dossier" that anti-Trump extremists in the Obama administration used as a pretext to spy on Trump and his campaign. Senior Justice Department officials knew the document was ludicrous, and yet it was used to obtain secret warrants to begin surveillance and infiltration of the Trump camp.
On this matter, Trump has already outlined some of the steps he is preparing to take. For instance, speaking on Fox News' Hannity show with popular host Sean Hannity this week, the president said he would release the full and unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants. He also vowed to release documents related to the warrant that were used by the Obama FBI to persecute his campaign. Trump said the goal is to "get to the bottom" of how the now-debunked but endlessly hyped "Russia collusion" conspiracy theory underpinning Mueller's investigation came about.
"I do, I have plans to declassify and release. I have plans to absolutely release," Trump told Hannity, one of the high-profile media personalities who warned all along that the "Russia collusion" hoax was a Deep State plot against the president. "I have some very talented people working for me, lawyers, and they really didn't want me to do it early on. … A lot of people wanted me to do it a long time ago. I'm glad I didn't do it. We got a great result without having to do it, but we will. One of the reasons that my lawyers didn't want me to do it, is they said, if I do it, they'll call it a form of obstruction. Frankly, thought it would be better if we held it to the end. But at the right time, we will be absolutely releasing."
While the public does not yet have details about what those documents may contain, speculation has been running rampant since it first emerged that the Obama administration illegally spied on the Trump campaign. And lawmakers have vowed to probe the issue, too. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has emerged as an important ally to the president, said Congress must "absolutely" subpoena the Obama administration officials involved. One of the reasons for that would be to find out who in the Obama White House used the obviously phony "Steele Dossier" as the key "evidence" to justify spying on Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Indeed, the Obama administration literally "sent spies" to try to "entrap" Trump officials, Senator Paul noted during an interview on "Fox and Friends."
Neoconservative Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), meanwhile, also made clear that Republicans in Congress were not done yet. In what was described in press reports as a "warning shot" to Hillary Clinton, her associates, and the Justice Department officials involved in the anti-Trump conspiracy, Senator Graham warned that "those who were abusive of the process in 2016 on the other side, you haven't had much scrutiny, but that's coming." Hearings and potentially other measures are now being discussed to compel officials to reveal what they knew and when they knew it.

Anyone have any idea the origin of "Q"? Why was that letter selected? Why didn't it begin once Trump was sworn in instead of the end of 2017?
My thoughts are Trump, MIL intel, etc may have had a plan originally that possibly began before his campaign; however, it did not include the "Q" movement. I believe the "Q" movement was created to assist the public in breaking down the hoax of the Russia-Trump conspiracy. I believe the conspiracy begins with the the Steele Dossier. This is the center piece to it all, which we fill find out. So why was the letter "Q" selected? What was the Steele Dossier created from? Read this:
Wiki: "The Trump-Russia dossier, also known as the Steele dossier, is a private intelligence report comprising 17 memos written between June and December 2016 by Christopher Steele."
"17" memos. Q = 17.
If we ever find out the sources or methods used to create the "17" memos, this may be the bombshell considering we know the dossier is garbage.

John Brennan huddled with Democrats after Mueller investigation ended
Former CIA Director John Brennan reportedly huddled with a group of House Democrats this week. An official told Fox News that Brennan discussed a number of issues during the Thursday meeting on Capitol Hill with House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., and other members of his caucus, including national security. Although the "Leader's Council" meeting took place after special counsel Robert Mueller completed his Russia investigation and submitted his final report to the Justice Department on Friday, the source said it was scheduled long before it was known Mueller was wrapping up.
The meeting also came one day after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., tweeted that a "high-level source" told him that Brennan, while serving as CIA director under former President Barack Obama, "insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report" and called for Brennan to be called to testify before Congress "ASAP." The dossier, compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele, was used by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants to spy on onetime Trump campaign official Carter Page. Republicans have raised concerns about the possibility of an effort undermine Trump, citing how certain information about the dossier, including that it was funded in part by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee, was left out of the FISA warrant applications. A commentator for MSNBC, Brennan has criticized Trump and talked about his belief there was collusion in "plain sight" between the president and Russia. He also called Trump's behavior "treasonous."
Trump revoked a security clearance belonging John Brennan in August, claiming his "erratic behavior" should disqualify him from having access to sensitive information. A few weeks ago, Brennan appeared on MSNBC predicting more indictments as part of Mueller's investigation. But those never came to pass.
On Sunday, Attorney General William Barr shared a four-page summary of Mueller's findings with Congress, which stated the investigation found no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Answering for his hyping of the Mueller report, Brennan said Monday, "I don't know if I received bad information, but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was." Barr sent a letter to the leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary committees on Friday saying he expects Mueller's report to be released in mid-April, "if not sooner." The attorney general also volunteered to testify publicly after Mueller's report is released to the public and said he is available to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee on May 1 and the House Judiciary Committee on May 2.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said he would take that offer "under advisement" but reiterated that he wants Barr to testify "immediately" and seeks the full special counsel report by April 2. According to Barr's four-page summary, Mueller also declined to determine whether Trump obstructed justice, and Barr said he and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein concluded there was insufficient evidence to show the president committed a crime.

While most of the attention on SpyGate has been focused on corruption at the highest levels within DOJ/FBI, less scrutiny has been given to the State Department's and John Kerry's likely involvement:
Questions have been raised about Victoria Nuland, a senior official in John Kerry's State Department.
In their book, Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and the Election of Donald Trump, authors and reporters Michael Isikoff and David Corn write that Nuland gave the green light for the FBI to first meet with Steele regarding his dossier's claims. It was at that meeting that Steele initially reported his dossier charges to the FBI, the book relates.
Other State officials reportedly interfaced with both Steele and Clinton confidante Sidney Blumenthal regarding the dossier.
https://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/columns/aaron-klein/quick-takes-120/2019/03/27/
The FVEY network was needed to plant the fabricated information in the dossier and give the information an air of legitimacy and legality. Basic logic would indicate that such involvement would require diplomatic contacts with the highest levels of the foreign governments involved in providing the information. We now know that the foreign involvement was largely from the UK because of Christopher Steele (MI-6/SIS). But such incendary information would almost have to include the highest care and political involvement from the US and UK Governments. UK's Prime Minister at the time was David Cameron. Such consultation and coordination would necessarily involve the State Department and John Kerry.
Furthermore, remember the Russian spy, Natalia Veselnitskaya, who entered the country to set up Don Jr in the Trump Tower meeting? It seems that the visa for her to enter the country was approved by the State Department not the DOJ, which was the usual method. Therefore, it's likely that John Kerry was involved in the setup from the get-go.
https://www.reuters.com/article/legal-us-otc-veselnitskaya/how-did-russian-lawyer-veselnitskaya-get-into-u-s-for-trump-tower-meeting-idUSKBN1D62Q2
It's not the first time Kerry got directly involved in approving a visa as a political favor:
According to the indictment, Netanyahu then called Kerry, and raised the issue again in a face-to-face meeting with the secretary of state. Milchen's visa was later extended for 10 years.

We have the servers.
This allegation first surfaced with a Hillary Clinton-loving computer nerd in the fall of 2016, who claimed her group obtained domain name server (DNS) logs showing frequent "pings," or contacts, between a server owned by Russia's Alfa Bank and one in the name of the Trump Organization.
It turns out, though, that the server wasn't actually in the Trump Organization in New York. It was in a tiny Pennsylvania town. And it actually wasn't controlled by the Trump Organization but, rather, by an independent email marketing firm once hired by the president's company.
But, for now, we won't let those facts get in the way a good yarn. Plus, there are some interesting characters to follow.
Christopher Steele - the Trump-hating former British spy hired by opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired by Clinton's campaign and the Democratic Party to dig up Trump dirt in Russia - was next to pick up the allegation. Eventually, allegations of connections between Alfa Bank's parent-company Alfa Group, Russia and Trump made it into the dossier that Steele gave the FBI, although his grasp of the information was so shoddy that he misspelled the bank's name.
Next, the allegation surfaced in a Slate and a New York Times article just a few days before Trump was elected. (Perhaps appropriately, the stories ran on Halloween.) The Times's story, however, conceded the FBI was dubious of the whole matter.
Not to be outdone, private attorney Michael Sussman walked in similar allegations to then-FBI General Counsel James Baker in September 2016, according to four congressional sources familiar with testimony and documents gathered in the Russia case. The evidence of the connections to the Alfa Bank allegations also are in a footnote in the House Intelligence Committee report, where Sussman's name was redacted by the FBI. Congressional investigators are investigating whether someone in Sussman's firm, Perkins Coie, also provided Russia-related information to the CIA in early 2017.
That's significant because Perkins Coie's clients included the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign, and that firm paid Fusion GPS for Steele's dirt-digging. Sussman declined to say, through a spokesman, if he met with a CIA contact but insisted any contact the firm may have had with the CIA wasn't done at the behest of the DNC or Clinton.Still, it is hard to ignore his political connections.

Trump vows to release FISA docs now that Mueller probe is concluded, slams 'treasonous' FBI
President Trump, in an exclusive wide-ranging interview Wednesday night with Fox News' "Hannity," vowed to release the full and unredacted Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants and related documents used by the FBI to probe his campaign, saying he wants to "get to the bottom" of how the long-running Russia collusion narrative began.
Trump told anchor Sean Hannity that his lawyers previously had advised him not to take that dramatic step out of fear that it could be considered obstruction of justice.
"I do, I have plans to declassify and release. I have plans to absolutely release," Trump said. "I have some very talented people working for me, lawyers, and they really didn't want me to do it early on. … A lot of people wanted me to do it a long time ago. I'm glad I didn't do it. We got a great result without having to do it, but we will. One of the reasons that my lawyers didn't want me to do it, is they said, if I do it, they'll call it a form of obstruction."
Trump added: "Frankly, thought it would be better if we held it to the end. But at the right time, we will be absolutely releasing."
Trump also accused FBI officials of committing "treason" – slamming former FBI Director James Comey as a "terrible guy," former CIA Director John Brennan as potentially mentally ill, and Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff as a criminal.
Redacted versions of FISA documents already released have revealed that the FBI extensively relied on documents produced by Christopher Steele, an anti-Trump British ex-spy working for a firm funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee, to surveil Trump aide Carter Page. At least one senior DOJ official had apparent concerns Steele was unreliable, according to text messages exclusively obtained last week by Fox News.
The leaked dossier, and related FBI surveillance, kickstarted a media frenzy on alleged Russia-Trump collusion that ended with a whimper on Sunday, when it was revealed Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe concluded finding no evidence of such a conspiracy, despite several offers by Russians to help the Trump campaign. Page was never charged with wrongdoing, and he is currently suing the DNC for defamation.
FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE: NEWLY REVEALED TEXTS SHOW DOJ OFFICIALS CLASHING WITH FBI OVER 'BIAS' OF KEY WARRANT SOURCE
Citing a high-level source, Kentucky GOP Sen. Rand Paul late Wednesday tweeted that anti-Trump ex-CIA Director John Brennan had internally pushed the dossier. Fox News has not independently verified Paul's source.
"I think Brennan's a sick person, I really do," Trump said. "I believe there's something wrong with him, for him to come out of the CIA and act that way was so disrespectful to the country and to the CIA. He was not considered good at what he did. He was never a respected guy."

Answer: CBS_Herridge tweet: https://archive.fo/86qHA SCOOP: A person familiar with the matter tells @CBSNews that Bruce Ohr is no longer working at DOJ. He resigned the day before he was going to be terminated by DOJ over his conduct cited in IG Horowitz report. Ohr was faulted for becoming a kind of backchannel linking dossier 8:50 AM - 14 Oct 2020 author Christopher Steele to the FBI after Steele's termination by Bureau as a source. Timing: Ohr left DOJ in recent weeks + seeking his comment

Answer: Think plane tracking? So is the DOJ plane in the UK picking up another passenger besides the CP king? Christopher Steele is key to the dossier & basis for the FISA, and would probably have an indictment. Is he getting shipped over here to the US? Are we going to be seeing him in front of the Senate? UK is helping to DECLAS FISA. [SCREENSHOT OF WIKILEAKS TWEET RE: N996GA (related to WIKILEAKS tweet, archived above); SCREENSHOT OF Q POST >>5928012 3-27-19 RE: Think plane tracking]

Answer: ARCHIVE FOX NEWS: Court files reveal role of McCain, aide in spreading anti-Trump dossier By Adam Shaw https://archive.fo/8jpML "In a newly unsealed declaration from September, former senior counterintelligence FBI agent Bill Priestap confirmed that the FBI received a copy of the first 33 pages of the dossier in December 2016 from McCain. In another filing, David Kramer – a former State Department official and McCain associate – said in a Dec. 13, 2017, deposition that the dossier was given to him by author and former British spy Christopher Steele, which he then provided to more than a dozen journalists at outlets including CNN, BuzzFeed and The Washington Post. The details were first reported by The Daily Caller."

Answer: Special Prosecutor Tapped by Sessions to Investigate FISA Abuses HAS NOT Interviewed Bruce Ohr In March, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he would not be appointing a second special counsel to investigate crimes committed by Obama’s FBI and DOJ. Rather, AG Sessions revealed U.S. Attorney John Huber will be the ‘top federal prosecutor’ who will be investigating FISA abuses. U.S. Attorney John Huber was first appointed to his position by Barack Obama in 2015. Five months into John Huber’s FISA abuse investigation and he still has not interviewed twice-demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr. Ohr is a key player in the FISA abuse scandal, so why hasn’t he been interviewed by Huber or Mueller?? Bruce Ohr was acting as a backchannel for dossier author Christopher Steele after the FBI terminated him in November of 2016 for breaking protocol by leaking to the media. “More of a reason to wonder how effective a US Attorney [John Huber] can be cleaning up corruption in Washington when he’s based in Salt Lake City,†investigative reporter, Paul Sperry said. Investigative reporter John Solomon also revealed Tuesday that Robert Mueller hasn’t interviewed Bruce Ohr either. Bruce Ohr arrived at Capitol Hill Tuesday morning for a closed-door grilling from House Oversight and House Judiciary members over his contacts with dossier author Christopher Steele. GOP lawmakers said Tuesday afternoon that Bruce Ohr was being cooperative and answering questions at the closed-door deposition. Bruce Ohr, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page and Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson may be called back to testify together to iron out the discrepancies in their testimonies. What exactly is Mueller and Huber doing if they are not questioning key players like Bruce Ohr?? Mueller’s investigation into Russian “collusion†appears to be designed not to protect the country but to protect his former FBI/DOJ regime and their political espionage crimes, says Sperry. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/08/special-prosecutor-tapped-by-sessions-to-investigate-fisa-abuses-has-not-interviewed-bruce-ohr/📠[SCREENSHOTS OF PAUL SPERRY TWEETS]

Answer: DEMS FEARING MUELLER NOW? MARK PENN: “Well, look, I spent a year fighting Ken Starr and I think any reasonable person looking at what happened here says this investigation had no foundation and whatever foundation it had was not only wrong but corrupt. I think Christopher Steele was part of the FBI when he leaked, lied, and then was fired. Page and Strzok are clearly biased. The head of the FBI was clearly biased. The head of the CIA appeared to be doing illegal leaks as well. This whole thing was corrupt. There is a doctrine called the fruits of the poisonous tree, that says when investigations get started like, this when searches and seizures are done on this basis, they should be thrown out. I think that’s probably the best way to stop this thing because, otherwise, we are going all the way to the end and I don’t think we should waste another year here.†(screenshot of GatewayPundit.com article)
