bitt, thank you for the video link. I’ll put my notes on the first 21 minutes of the video below:
All sources of information used to claim that Trump colluded with the Russians are connected either to the Clintons or people the Clintons
paid (e.g., Reporter Michael Isikoff, who got his information from Steele
Christopher Steele himself).
Alexander Downer is one of those sources. He meets with George Papadopoulos in a London bar. It’s claimed that the Russians have dirt on Hillary and this information makes it baack to the US intelligence community which starts the FBI investigation (biggest counterintelligence spying operation in US history) into Trump. Except, the whole world knew the Russians had dirt on Hillary because of her hacked file server, so this was a setup from the start.
1. Tony Rodham (Hillary Rodham Clinton’s brother) was part of a federal investigation at one point regarding his intervention to obtain visas for two Chinese nationals denied entry into the US. One of those Chinese nationals was VP of Huawei (large tech company, smart phone technology). This company has been under suspicion by the United States for many years.
An article from Dickmorris.com outlines the investigation into Tony Rodham and his relationship to this Chinese company (Huawei). It involves Terry Mcauliffe, now Governor of Virginia, a Chinese green-type car company, Andrew McCabe, McCabe’s wife who ran for office with $700,000 funds associated with Mcauliffe and associated political action groups. (investigation is hindering Mcauliffe’s 2020 presidential aspirations).
An article in Slate says the US is not prepared to trust Huawei phone technology (espionage type reasons, based on US experience, background). Some of the people involved with Huawei are involved with the green car company that Mcauliffe is involved with. At the same time this is ongoing and Tony Rodham is intervening to get VP of Huawei visas, Alexander Downer is named to the board of Huawei. The very same guy (Downer, Australian diplomat) also conveniently meets with George Papadopoulos in a London bar and starts one of the biggest spying operations on a presidential candidate in US history.
ransomnote: I looked up Alexander Downer and found this article:
https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/msn/a-real-downer-alexander-downer’s-career-bottoms-out-with-alt-right-trolling/ar-BBK0bkI
From the article: “...his only real achievement in that field is likely to come from a night on the grog in London with a Trump aide in May 2016, during which said aide George Papadopoulos. . . told him the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton.” The article goes on to complain that Downer is being demonized by the alt-right as a left-wing minion of Hillary Clinton based on his helping to raise 25 million dollars for the Clinton Foundation initiative to fight HIV in 2006 (cites Hannity’s assertion that Downer has deep ties to Clinton).
The MSN.com article goes on to sneer that Twitter’s far right (which it asserts is heavily populated by Russian bots, sock puppets),” is trying to spin this into further connections with Uranium One and British Royalty. Further, the article asserts Downer, “in the bug-eyes of MAGA cap-wearing keyboard warriors” is seen as an evil minion of Clinton, but “might, in the end, be the one who started the process of killing off the Trump presidency.” Incredibly, at the link, this MSN.com hit piece is officially classified as “news” and not opinion.
Okay, sorry I got side tracked from the video. Bongino intentionally used Politico and Slate as sources for his reportage so that liberals could not effectively argue that it’s right wing spin. At the 21 minute mark, the host turns his attentions to Jeff Sessions. I’ll try to catch that section later.
I’ll repost bitt’s video link here:

great synopsis from Bongino vid at #904 - at 3 am it didn’t make much sense to me.. :0
Thanks for excellent synopsis, ransomnote!
