The Slimes story follows not only Graham's comments from late yesterday, but Rep. Nunes’ letter to Rod Rosenstein demanding that the FBI/DOJ produce all of their internal FISA application-related documents by 1/3/2018.

The liberal flag must be carried regardless of what is right or wrong. The big bosses at the N.Y. Times issue the marching orders. They libs must follow or the guard will be changed. They are there to push the liberal agenda down the throats of gullible readers. They need to keep the readers
and listeners interested in their boring circus. Many of the clowns and acts are not drawing the large crowds.

For more background on Papadopolous, see these stories by the excellent Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller:

http://dailycaller.com/2017/10/30/trump-campaign-adviser-indicted-for-lying-to-fbi-about-russia-contacts/

http://dailycaller.com/2017/10/30/how-did-george-papadopoulos-end-up-on-the-trump-campaign/

http://dailycaller.com/2017/11/01/george-papadopouloss-fascinating-link-to-the-trump-dossier/

And if anyone is so inclined, read the Papadopolous guilty plea:

https://www.scribd.com/document/363013133/Indictment-against-George-Papadopoulos#from_embed

I remember it seemed a big deal at the time, but so much as come out since then that in rereading it the charges now seem laughable and absurd. Papadopolous was charged with lying to the FBI about his contacts in London with two men who claimed to have contacts with Russian officials but were not Russian officials themselves, and a woman who it was claimed was Putin's niece, but was lying.

Alexander Downer, the Australian diplomat who allegedly alerted American officials to Papadopolous’ “Russians have dirt on Hillary” claim, has documented ties to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation:

The back-story to the FISA warrant is the cornerstone to expose this entire charade.

Well, Trump undoubtedly has documentation of the FISA back-story: he raided Comeys office and took EVERYTHING.

Despite the hysteria this article created today, it’s important to note that the events in question STILL did not precede the existence of the dossier, or more importantly, even the delivery of the dossier to the FBI, if you believe they didn’t know about it since it’s original conception. Therefore, the NYT attempt to claim that this new info somehow predates the dossier, is actually a failure.

Per the NYT article today:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/30/us/politics/how-fbi-russia-investigation-began-george-papadopoulos.html?_r=0

“The hacking and the revelation that a member of the Trump campaign may have had inside information about it were driving factors that led the F.B.I. to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired.”

Now, compare that to Byron York’s article from last month, which has been considered the most complete piece regarding the dossier timeline:

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/byron-york-did-dossier-trigger-the-trump-russia-probe/article/2640470

“Steele told the left-leaning publication Mother Jones that he took the first part of his dossier to the FBI “near the start of July.”

James Comey, when he was FBI director, told members of the House Intelligence Committee the Trump-Russia investigation began “in late July.”

So the timeline is: The first dossier report was June 20, Steele approached the FBI near the start of July, and the FBI began its investigation in late July.”

Amazing that Democrat constituents who support the Democrat leadership put up with the lies told by the Democrat’s media. One would think that all Democrats would want truthful reporting from their media. Just like the exposure of the evil misogyny of the film & Media industry. Isn’t it healthier to remove individuals from public service who commit criminal acts? Who look the other way at the crimes of their own political party? Republicans already experienced this with Nixon. Now it is time to see if the Democrats have the moral strength to face their own party’s political crimes.

One would think that they would want corruption in the government exposed, prosecuted and punished. Maybe they just rather be told what to believe.

Perhaps they are not real Democrats. Perhaps they are not real Americans either.

Wondering if this “newsflash” was part of the “leaker sting operation” set up by Sessions? Would be hysterical if it was. Man, I read threw all those tweets by Sundance to NYT/Maggie. Dang, but that must have hurt! 🤣

Placing a Story

As discussed on our call, we are all in agreement that the time is right place a story with a friendly journalist in the coming days that positions us a little more transparently while achieving the above goals.
Who:
For something like this, especially in the absence of us teasing things out to others, we feel that it’s important to go with what is safe and what has worked in the past, and to a publication that will reach industry people for recruitment purposes.
We have has a very good relationship with Maggie Haberman of Politico over the last year. We have had her tee up stories for us before and have never been disappointed. While we should have a larger conversation in the near future about a broader strategy for reengaging the beat press that covers HRC, for this we think we can achieve our objective and do the most shaping by going to Maggie.
...................
Just doesn’t get any better about msm collusion with the hard left. Looks like Maggie Haberman was their “go to gal”

Graham has now exposed the fact that this "dossier" was the used as the justification for the FISA warrant to spy on the Trump campaign.

The FBI paid the "dossiers" authors in taxpayer Ca$h.

This is the political scandal of the century.

If Trump has Graham on his side, then the walls are going to fall down soon.

It is a mystery to me how the nytimes gets away with their slanderous operations and why FR allows their damaging articles to appear on this site when so many other good sites are banned.

Anything with Linda’s fingerprints on it is a plot hatched by libtards. I pray for AIDS viruses to remove the threat.

——and used by political operatives within the DOJ National Security Division and FBI Counterintelligence Division.——

Key words....... political operatives.

Those political operatives must be stood against the wall and shot.

The arrest trial and executions must begin and end very quickly. Punishment for their crimes against the Republic must be quick and severe and serve as warnings to those who might consider such aaction in the future.

The only cure for leftist transgressions against the state is death

This approach, originated by the current sense within the intelligence community, indicates all dossier scrutiny is directly over the target; and the leadership knows the risk. This is why the upper-tier management of the FBI and DOJ have refused prior questions about the Dossier’s use. The DOJ/FBI officials know the outline of how the dossier was assembled implicates them in a verifiable conspiracy.

As to the substance of the NYT justification it is absurd on its face.

Please check my tagline re what is impacting this non reality based witch hunt.
