If Trump Is Impeached or Convicted, the Russia Dossier Was Worth the Money, Ex-Clinton Spokesperson
Newsweek ^ | October 25, 2017 | By Greg Price

Posted on 10/25/2017 9:25:23 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

If it helps Special Counsel Robert Mueller bring down President Donald Trump, the Russian dossier that laid out allegations of misdeeds by the billionaire—including one particularly salacious claim that led to the document being nicknamed the “pee tape“ dossier—was well worth the money, according to Hillary Clinton’s former campaign press secretary.

Brian Fallon, currently a CNN contributor and an adviser to the progressive group Priorities USA, spoke out on Twitter Tuesday night after The Washington Post reported that Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee had paid the firm Fusion GPS to do the opposition research on Trump that led to the dossier being compiled.

Furthermore, Fallon said he would have helped Christopher Steele, the former British spy hired by Fusion GPS, to do the research and compile the potentially damning information.

Fallon stated that if he knew about the dossier prior to Election Day last year, he would have tried to get permission from the former Clinton campaign managers, Robby Mook and John Podesta, to act like like former FBI Director James Comey and read its contents aloud at a press conference—seemingly a reference to Comey’s decision to announce both the closing and reopening of the federal investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

If we let these kinds of real high crimes ands misdemeanors go and do not prosecute it corrodes the rule of law.

It’s all we have to keep us America.

The Clintons are famous for their ‘scorched earth’ and ‘politics of personal destruction’ tactics.

It is no surprise that Team Clinton would manufacture something like this in an attempt to destroy a presidential candidate.

Team Clinton probably had similar actions in the works against all of the 17 Republican candidates they deemed viable challengers to Hillary.

If the Democrats were to win control of the House in 2018, Trump could be impeached despite having committed no crimes. He could be charged with "collusion" because his son met with a Russian lawyer. He could be charged with racism for mocking Congresswoman Wilson. He could be charged with Islamophobia. Getting the Senate to vote for his removal might be a higher hurdle for the Democrats and their RINO allies.

A DC jury might vote to indict him, but even if the most rabid anti-Trump residents of DC were the jury and found him guilty, supposing he had been removed from office, Pence could pardon him.

The real reason no one will go after the Clintons or Obama is that EVERYONE in the District of Corruption is complicit in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

There is no one that is not complicit in the violation of the Constitution to go after them.

It would take down BOTH parties and the entire government.

There will be no prosecutions.

Mueller was chosen precisely to short-circuit any possibility of prosecuting the Clintons and Obama.

So if a President is impeached because the losing Presidential candidate paid to have a lie presented it as fact, this treasonous nastard thinks violating our election and the foundation of America is just fine.

I’m in agreement.

This is why Big Media is arrogantly and not stupidly doubling down.

How can a totally made-up, fabricated fairy tale led to anybody’s impeachment? NOTHING in the fake dossier is true. It is being treated as an “intelligence report” when in fact, it is nothing more than made-up Russian propaganda.

Most of us here are well acquainted with Clinton politics.
From the movie `The Fly’:
Seth Brundle: “You have to leave now, and never come back here. Have you ever heard of insect politics? Neither have I. Insects... don’t have politics. They’re very... brutal. No compassion, no compromise. We can’t trust the insect. I’d like to become the first... insect politician. Y’see, I’d like to, but... I’m afraid, uh... “

We’ve had an extended vacation from the rule of law, as evidenced by the last 8 years, thanks in large part to a White House mouse who was fired from her first job for lies and unethical behavior, but still managed by proxy to claw her way to the top.

Almost to the top. Bullet, dodged.

You know, each day I have a better feeling... more confidence... that Trump really means business. I only hoped what we are seein now would actually come to pass. Now, things are happening.

My heavy lift diragable just got a big infusion of helium.

It would be so deliciously ironic if the dossier and lies created by the DNC/Clintons in order to sabotage Trump turned out to be the very thing that finally put the Clintons and their minions behind bars.

Poetic justice.

Precisely why this dossier was made up. It was made up to interfere with our election process including impeachment. Even Republicans such as John McCain were so excited about it that he sent an emissary to Great Briton to retrieve a copy and give it to the FBI.

Impeach or convicted over lies? These people truly believe that the end justifies the means.

When Mueller was first appointed, I had hoped he would see no Trump/Russia collusion but would find plenty of proof of Clinton and the Rats interfering. And that he would expose all their dirty deeds. I was laughed at here at FR. Was told that Mueller was a Clinton stooge. And then - sure enough - he hired nothing but other Clinton cronies to “investigate”.

Now LS and others are coming to the conclusion that Mueller is really a Trump ally and that he is indeed going to clearly expose all the many dirty deeds Clinton, the Podestas, Comey and the Rats tried as they failed to steal the 2016 election.
