WaPo: ‘A paid agent of the Clinton campaign approached Russian officials for damaging material..

Marc Thiessen confirms in the Washington Post:

“…the Clinton campaign proactively sought dirt on Trump from Russian government sources. They did it through cutouts. In April 2016, Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias retained opposition research firm Fusion GPS to compile incriminating information on Trump. Fusion GPS in turn hired Christopher Steele, a former British MI6 operative with sources among Russian government officials. The result was the salacious dossier, whose sources included “a senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure” and “a former top level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin.” Steele’s work was paid for by Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. That means a paid agent of the Clinton campaign approached Russian officials for damaging material on Trump.”

BLP reported: “Preet Bharara’s Office Got Natalia Into The Country, Now His Gang Is Trying To Keep Her OUT So She Can’t Testify”

The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York, then led by anti-President Trump activist Preet Bharara, played a key role in getting Natalia Veselnitskaya into the country in 2015-2016 on special Obama administration passes.

If Veselnitskaya doesn’t want to come to the US to appear before Congress and/or a court over her role in trying to get the Trumps to do something re the Magnitsky Law or otherwise,

CAN THE US AG GRANT HER A LIMITED IMMUNITY TO GIVE A DEPOSITION TO US OFFICIALS IN A NEUTRAL PLACE, SAY, SWITZERLAND, SWEDEN OR THE VATICAN?

The immunity, in whatever form, would be predicated on her not taking the 5th/i.e. refusing to answer a question, lying, or providing disinformation/misinformation.

An issue would be whether she would be allowed to have legal counsel with her (as happens in Depositions.

I would love for Little Miss Snit to talk about any connections to the Clinton criminal family, esp. Elias, Steele, Ohr, Perkings-Coie as a firm, etc.

Any comments? All are welcome here.

They think if they throw us the Clintons, we will be sated and come to an accommodation.

Wrong, but it’s a fun process regardless. From this end, that is.

Comey was right. Hillary was right. Mueller was right. There was collusion between Russia and a 2016 presidential campaign.

Fusion was on Russia’s payroll. The Podestas were on Russia’s payroll. Steele was contracted tp Deripaska. The Clintons were taking money from Russia by the shovels-full. Veselnitskaya was Fusion, brought in by Lynch and Preet Bharara (later fired by Trump...)

Fusion’s simultaneous three-way relationship with DNC, Russia, and FBI allowed all three to collaborate while providing a modicum of deniability.

The inability of libtards to recognize the irony used to be mind-boggling.

After two years of this unadulterated BS, its mind-numbing

However, ya gotta say for Brenner, Clapper even the Comeys and rest of the deep-state, brilliant execution of de-stabilizing the Trump administration. They keep working it, regime-change is on the horizon. We just sit and watch.

glad someone pointed out Thiessen’s piece is from Aug 2018. it’s a laugh. he writes -

- If Mueller finds that anyone on the Trump campaign entered into a criminal conspiracy with Russia, they should go to jail -

Thiessen never addresses how the phony CLINTON RUSSIA DOSSIER was used to get FISA warrants to spy against the Trump campaign. every single official who signed off on those FISA applications, should be raided/arrested/tried whatever.

end the farce. resign Mueller and take your Dem operatives with you & prepare to be raided at dawn by the FBI! lol.

(HAT TIP DETECTIVE) This summarizes some of the corruption and lying between the Clinton campaign,
the Obama administration, the FBI, the media and others
. It appears that there were several felonies committed.

How Clinton operatives pushed now-debunked Trump-Russia server conspiracy
The Washington Times ^ | January 23, 2019 | Rowan Scarborough / FR Posted by detective

The Clinton campaign’s operation to spread a now-debunked story on a Russian bank-Donald Trump computer linkage went further than previously known, according to new congressional testimony. It turns out that at least two Clinton operatives went inside the Justice Department to sell the allegation.

The phony Democrat-pitched narrative went like this: The Trump Organization maintained a secret computer server at Trump Tower directly tied to Moscow’s Alfa Bank, whose partners are linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin. But cybersleuths traced the server’s IP address not to Moscow, but to a spam operation outside Philadelphia that spit out hotel marketing pitches, including the Trump Organization‘s. (Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...

===================================

We, the people, know "so little," (smirk) for example:

<><> the dossier was handed off by Fusion GPS employee, Nellie Ohr, to her husband, DOJ official Bruce Ohr,

<><> with a sprinkle of DNC fairy dust, the dossier became the "real thing"....

<><> the basis of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants,

<><> specifically targeting Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page,

<><> signed off by the Obama administration,

<><> high mucky-muck FBI director James Comey and deputy, Andrew McCabe jumped in feet-first,

Wow. Aint this a shocker? Ohr was later (cough) "demoted" over his involvement.

Ho hum, wake me when one of these traitors is arrested. Until then, its the same story as yesterday and will be tomorrow; namely, they are above the law.

The only way to deal with a coup is to purge the conspirators. That has not been done. Your insight is correct; this incredibly dangerous element is still very active.

Just recently I heard a series of comments by Nancy Pelosi that Prez Trump is a Russian agent under the control of Putin and guilty of treason!

Her position as Speaker of the House does not give her the privilege of committing sedition! Obviously it is part of a program to 'destabilize' the administration by the coup cabal. I cannot understand why Trump does not answer the Speaker... the Speaker of the House of Representatives, not some parrot on CNN, etc. That imbecile from Fornicalia, Eric Swallwell, said the same seditious charges.

If it were me as POTUS I would be tempted to publicly challenge them to prove their case; as POTUS I would announce that any and all evidence that they present to support their charge is automatically declassified, which is totally in my power. If they cannot support their charges I would demand that they retract their seditions. If they do not, I would charge them under law.

Yes the Dirty Dossier was used for the FISA warrants.

Worse, "allegedly" it is being used to target a sitting president of the USA.

Sundance is making a compelling case the Dirty Dossier is part of the "Investigative Origination" letter. for Special Counsel Mulehead.

Rosenstein Made President Trump Mueller’s Target…

If shown to be correct . . . . . specially knowing that the dossier was bought and paid for beforehand . . . . But then . . . . Nominee Attorney General has already said he will review before any release of Special Counsel report . . . . so we may never know the truth. As Sundance says FUBAR!

One scenario I read recently went like this: remove Trump / Pence for cause which makes Nancy Pelosi POTUS (terrifying if true). She could then choose the Hildebeest as VP and then step down as POTUS to return to the Speaker's position.

I put nothing as impossible or illegal with these rabid greedy power-hungry usurpers. If the coup cabal continues their divisive tactics I fear it will end in civil war... I pray it is not so.

imo, none of this “brilliant execution of de-stabiizing the Trump administration” would have been possible without the willing partnership of MSM.

the media is still butt hurt because trump hobbled together his successful run to POTUS on a shoe sting.

between his twitter & his personal money to produce his MAGA rallies, MSM missed out on the millions that is typically dumped in their lap on presidential campaign advertising buys.

it was easy for MSM to be complacent with brennan, clapper, & other deep state plotters

I think Carter Page was ALSO an FBI Informant and got into Trump’s campaign at the behest of the FBI...….he most likely knew he would be TAPED.

smells like R.I.C.O. for the brilliant executioners, from here.
