FLASHBACK: Fusion GPS’s Glenn Simpson Reveals He Was Hired to Investigate Trump in “Fall of 2015” – Claims Memos From Steele Dossier Made Their Way ‘Directly to Obama
GATEWAYPUNDIT ^ | 10/14/2019 | Christina Laila

Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson revealed in a new book titled, “Crime in Progress” which is set to be released next month that he was first hired to investigate Donald Trump “in the fall of 2015.”

Simpson also claims that memos from the Christopher Steele dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton and her camp made its way directly “to President Obama.”

Hillary Clinton and the DNC during the 2016 presidential election hid their payments to oppos research firm Fusion GPS and Steele through their law firm Perkins Coie.

Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS who then paid former British spy Christopher Steele to compile a Russia dossier to smear Donald Trump.

To this day, the dossier still has not been verified yet the FBI used it to obtain four FISA warrants on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.

Of course Obama read the memos that made up the phony Russia dossier.

The coup plotters, including Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper all met in the Oval Office in January of 2017 and discussed the dossier.

Fall of 2015 is when Simpson says it started... that would coincide with this:

AUGUST 6, 2015 : (PELOSI RETURNS FROM ITALY/UKRAINE TRIP... WEIRD REQUEST FOR A ‘SPECIFIC CREW’ TO STAFF PELOSI’S FLIGHT)
The documents show that from July 30 to August 6, Pelosi took a trip to Milan, Rome and Naples, Italy, and Kiev, Ukraine, for herself, her husband , several members of congress and their spouses. The Italy trip included Milan, Rome and Naples with visits to the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Duomo and viewing Da Vinci’s “Last Supper.”
The documents also show the Air Force’s negative response to a Pelosi staff request for a specific crew for Pelosi’s flight. An official notes that it: “would be a disastrous precedent to set even if it were possible.” The Air Force further points out: “Our ARC crews have plenty to balance already with military duties and their civilian employers.” ——JUDICIAL WATCH

AUGUST 2015 : (RUSSIAN AND CHINESE DIPLOMATS MEET WITH ROUGHLY 30 DEMOCRATS [AL FRANKEN, AMY KLOBUCHAR, MICHAEL BENNET, CHRIS COONS, TAMMY BALDWIN,...] OVER OBAMA/KERRY IRAN DEAL) DATELINE August 2015——America’s in the throes of Hillary’s presidential aspirations (groan).
WASHINGTON DC […] Top diplomats from Russia and China joined a rare meeting of world powers’ envoys on Capitol Hill this week with roughly 30 Senate Democrats to tamp down concerns over Obama’s [Iran] nuclear agreement.
[…] During the meeting (which was confirmed to Foreign Policy magazine by an aide to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)), a number of Democrats expressed genuine confusion about how world powers would react if Congress rejected the [Iran] deal. […]
On Thursday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) alluded to the meeting […] Other lawmakers attending the briefing included Sens. Al Franken and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Chris Coons of Delaware, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and others.

AUGUST 29, 2015 : (PUTIN’S NOTIFICATION TO OBAMA THAT RUSSIA WOULD BE LAUNCHING AIR STRIKES IN SYRIA IN ONE HOUR IS DELIVERED TO THE US EMBASSY IN BAGHDAD)
In August 2008, Putin had met with President Bush on the eve of the Georgia invasion. Seven years later, on September 28, 2015, it was Obama’s turn to meet with the Russian president, this time at the U.N. Although the full details of their conversation were not disclosed, Putin apparently did not reveal the timing of the coming intervention. His contemptuous message to Obama, delivered to the U.S. embassy in Baghdad on August 29 by a Russian military attaché, said it all: Moscow was launching air strikes [see SYRIAN WAR] in one hour. Washington was to stay out of the way.[45]—— Why Putin Wants Syria, by Phyllis Chesler , Middle East Forum

A PLAUSIBLE IMPEACHMENT THEORY?——YOU DECIDE
FREE REPUBLIC.COM ^ | 12/26/19
Posted on 12/26/2019, 8:34:56 PM by Liz

BACKSTORY At 12:15pm on Trump’s Inauguration Day, Obama stooge Susan Rice wrote a memo....(wait for it).... “to-herself.”

This was a “justification memo”........ directly related to impeachment......in case they failed at removing Trump.

Outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice needed to explain why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.

This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.

Her “By-The-Book” reference -refers to both she and then-President Obama being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government.

But they NEVER told candidate Trump about it.

Obama’s FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials flipped a finger at protocol....and even worse ....they were intentionally dishonest with incoming President Trump and key members of his new administration.

Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue.......but flipping off established protocol had serious ramifications.

Even the timing of Rice’s Oz-ish memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.......as Suzan stupidly confesses to a host of crimes.

Rice skipped down the Yellowbrick Road, along with the mental midgets of the Obama Administraton.

Official documents show that from July 30 to August 6, 2015 Nancy Pelosi took a tax-paid trip on an Air Force plane
to Milan, Rome and Naples, Italy, and Kiev, Ukraine, for herself, her husband, several members of congress and their spouses.
The luxury Italy trip included Milan, Rome and Naples with visits to the Vatican Museum, Sistine Chapel, Duomo and
viewing Da Vinci’s “Last Supper”...... all on the taxpayers' dime.

What is she? A travel agent? Or a Congressman?

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP-----ground Pelosi NOW.
Pelosi grabs tax dollars and military planes to nail down votes for her various hate-America activities.

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

Taxpayers demand to know how many tax-paid trips she promised as rewards for impeaching Trump?

Crime in Progress” which is set to be released next month that he was first hired to investigate Donald Trump “in the fall of 2015.

Fall of 2015? Hmm. What ELSE happened in late 2015? Hmm...let me think...oh yeah, that's right:

Nellie Ohr began working with Fusion GPS (according to testimony by her husband) in late 2015. Could be a coincidence. Could be.

Here is an EXCELLENT article by Sundance (no surprise there!) which I recommend everyone read that pulls all this gobbledygook together into an understandable explanation that should make every American who is concerned with Civil Liberty sit up and take notice, and should make every scumbag out there involved with this very concerned that a spotlight may soon be coming their way: Evidence of Obama Administration Political Surveillance Beginning Mid-2012...

As Dan Bongino and others have been pointing out, it is looking far more likely that this spying on the Trump Campaign is only the tip of the iceberg in what appears to be the REAL scandal which the Left is pulling out all the stops to find a way to suppress its exposure...the REAL scandal is likely to turn out to be longstanding, ongoing illegal spying on political opponents using the tools of government by the Obama Administration and the Democrat Party, going on at least as far back as 2012.

Questions, questions.

  1. Was Fusion GPS a "contractor" with access to the NSA database? Admiral Rogers initiated auditing processes showing that there were massive abuses in the time frame between November 2015 to April 2016 where 85% of the data extractions were unlawful (meaning the contractors exceeded their allowed search and searched for...other things which were extracted and were then free to be shared with anyone anywhere without auditing).

  2. Nellie Ohr, who began working for Fusion GPS in late 2015 (around the time of the huge uptick in illegal NSA database queries) also worked for...wait for it...Open Source Works, which is part the CIA, and has been there for years. She is a Russian Language Expert, just the kind of person who would be given access and specific assignments to translate or interpret SPECIFIC pieces of data as part of her job there. Was Nellie Ohr one of those "contractors who would be given access to do that kind of work who was...ahem...exceeding> her authority while in there doing her job to look at...ahem...other things?

  3. In the FISA Court abuse report from Judge Rosemary Collyer (using the abuse data provided by the audit carried out by Admiral Rogers at NSA), it states that "...many of these non-compliant queries involved the use of the same identifiers over different date ranges.” So according to the explanation in the linked article above...in those illegal searches, the culprits were searching the same phone number, email address, electronic “identifier”, or people, repeatedly over different dates. Specific people, the same people, were being tracked/monitored in the majority of the increase in illegal accesses (my words), that is, it doesn't appear to be across the the board. Who are those people being surveilled?

  4. As stated in the article linked above, the contractor access was finally halted by Admiral Rogers on April 18th, 2016. The wife of Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson, Mary Jacoby, goes to the White House the next day on April 19th, 2016. (Remember, this woman is not just his 'spouse'. She is the one who complained and bragged on Facebook (which was since deleted...and this was all before it became widely known that the dossier was discredited) that HER husband (Glenn Simpson) was the REAL author of the Dossier, not Christopher Steele, and that her husband should get all the credit for it) What was that visit about?

  5. The NSA Database uses Amazon Web Services, which is highly auditable, overseen by the NSA, and audited by both the NSA and special employees at Amazon Web Services (I know...I feel queasy about seeing AWS involved in some way with this) Apparently, what was being done is that blocks of data were being moved from the NSA databases where it was open to monitoring over to the CIA database where the monitoring was far more restricted and auditing was far narrower and under the direct control of Brennan. Only certain people were authorized to move this data. Who are those people, and what data was being moved...for what purpose?

  6. Nellie Ohr essentially worked for John Brennan while she was at Open Source Works. (If interested, there is a bit of info about Open Source at this link: Charter of Open Source Org is Classified, CIA Says Things that make you go "Hmmmm." Would not this nexus between Open Source Works, Fusion GPS, and the DOJ (Nellie Ohr) be a critical area to shine a spotlight on?

Questions, questions.
