And yet they bravely forged ahead with forged documents to forge a path of forgery before the court.

No, they didn’t. There wasn’t a Russian source. It was created by Fusion GPS and Steele.

They have to keep pretending there was a Russian “source” because that just means they were tricked, or a little sloppy.
If there was no Russian source, then what they did was pure treason, and Brit intel and five eyes ran an operation to interfere in a US election. So they will go on pretending there was some Russian source.

Stefan Halper has close ties to Vyasheslov Trubnikov...

"On October 11, 2016, [Christopher] Steele was interviewed in Washington by [Hillary-Obama] State Department official Kathleen Kavalec.

In that interview, he [Steele] identified two of his insider Kremlin sources as Vladislav Surkov and Vyasheslov Trubnikov.”

Surkov has spent over a decade moving up in the regime. In 2013, he became Putin's personal adviser, particularly on Georgia and Ukraine, where Putin has since made major territorial annexations.

Kremlin-wise, Surkov is top-echelon; he's sometimes referred to as "Putin's Rasputin."

Trubnikov is a longtime regime eminence who ran the SVR (Russia external intelligence service, analogous to the CIA) before Putin came to power. Since then, he has continued to be an insider, while moving on to critical positions...”

Halper, Steele and the FBI conspired against our nation. Halper is a US citizen. No subpoena, no demand that he return to the USA. Mueller never sent anyone to interview him.

[ETL]

"The Daily Caller reported that Halper has an extensive relationship with [Vyacheslav] Trubnikov, the former head of Russia’s foreign intelligence service who served as a source for Christopher Steele’s infamous dossier.

In January, Senator Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) cited Halper’s use of Trubnikov as a source for a 2015 Pentagon study on China-Russia relations as a rationale to expand a probe into the DOD’s awarding of more than $1 million in contracts to Halper since 2012. ..."

f.i.b is pure SWAMP.

[ETL]

[James] Baker’s claim of ignorance about the “purported relationship” between Halper and Trubnikov appears to be betrayed by Trubnikov being invited by Halper to speak at his Cambridge University seminars in 2012 and 2015, and recently declassified transcripts show Halper’s recorded Russia-related discussion with Papadopoulos began with Halper name-dropping high-level Russian officials, including Trubnikov.

“I have a lot of friends in Russia,” Halper said. “One of them is Slava Truvnikoff [sic]. Do you know Truvnikoff? Truvnikoff was the director of KGB and the FSB.”

Halper told Papadopoulos: “I brought him to talk to [redacted] to talk to us about how their intelligence service works.”

“He was very forthcoming,” Halper said. ..."

Steele's Dossier Source Was a Suspected Russian Spy

Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, Sept 26, 2020

In an effort to depict Donald Trump as if he were in an espionage conspiracy with the Kremlin, the Obama administration used bogus information, from a man the FBI suspected was an actual Russian spy.

It turns out that Igor Danchenko, the man the FBI suspected of being an actual Russian spy, initially provided the bogus information about the American, Carter Page, through a former British spy, Christopher Steele.

Through a couple of cut-outs, Steele had been retained by the Clinton campaign to dig up -- or, alas, to make up -- Russian dirt on Trump. Through his private intelligence business in London, Steele was known to be working for Russian oligarchs, while Danchenko was on Steele's payroll.

That is, the Clinton campaign, and ultimately the Obama administration, colluded with Russians for the purpose of accusing Donald Trump of . . . yes . . . colluding with Russians."

Nunes: "Well, he [Mueller] should have been gone after day two.

He has no Russians, except for the Fusion and Clinton Russians, and possibly the dirty cop, the FBI's Russians, those are the only Russians that he has, to show “connections” to the Trump campaign.

Clearly, the Clinton operation is heavily working with Russians or Russian disinformation. He didn’t take time to look into any of that"

[Obama] CIA Chief Brennan hid intel saying Russia wanted Hillary win in 2016

May 13, 2020 - Ryan Morgan

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell is working to declassify documents relating to the investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and, according to Fox News' Ed Henry, some of those declassified documents will actually show a Russian effort to benefit Hillary Clinton during the election, not Donald Trump.

Henry told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday's "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that four or five new batches of intelligence are being declassified, one of which contains an assessment that Brennan sought to suppress, showing that Russia wanted Clinton to win. ...”

"Remember the U.S. intel community came out with that remarkable statement, an assessment that Russia meddled in the 2016 election, and most importantly the intel report claimed that Russia interfered because they wanted Donald Trump to win," Henry said. That of course followed the narrative of the now-discredited Steele Dossier. ..."

[Chewbarkah]

Solomon is great, but there is an obvious question not asked in this article: Who instructed Halper to destroy Flynn, target other Trump campaign associates, and manufacture provide “information” to fuel FBI investigations? From there, peel it back to the originator.

We can be sure Halper didn’t just spontaneously start up.
ONI seems to have been a conduit for paying Halper. Was it also the path for instructions to him from the Brennan driving the plot for Hillary Clinton?

[mass55th]

But they went with it anyway because it supported the narrative of the investigation they wanted to conduct. And nobody will be held accountable for any of it. Not in this life anyway.

[lurk]

Old news. Everyone knew it was bogus.

[Chode]

doubts my azzz... they KNEW!

[DesertRhino]

Bullcrap. Still lying I see.

They knew the entire time it was BS. He was targeted because he knew about their Russiagate crimes in the 2016 election and because he let Trump know the FBI was wiretapping him at Trump Towers.

Effing liars.
