Did President Obama Read the ‘Steele Dossier’ in the White House Last August?
Tablet Magazine ^ | December 20, 2017 | Lee Smith

Posted on 12/21/2017 9:19:10 AM PST by CreviceTool

A Tablet investigation using public sources to trace the evolution of the now-famous dossier suggests that central elements of the Russiagate scandal emerged not from the British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s top-secret “sources” in the Russian government—which are unlikely to exist separate from Russian government control—but from a series of stories that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and his wife Mary Jacoby co-wrote for The Wall Street Journal well before Fusion GPS existed, and Donald Trump was simply another loud-mouthed Manhattan real estate millionaire.

Writer Lee Smith suggests that much of the "dossier" was developed for the WSJ targeting Manafort back in 2007 and just repurposed - YIKES!

That @Imperator_Rex3 tweet thread likely pointed me to the article. But the article bears complete reading and not a fly by viewing Twitter threads. Freepers need to know this stuff.

I agree. This whole mess goes higher than Mueller/Comey. I think it originates with Clinton providing the conception and the network of fixers, authorization by Jarrett (with an okey-doke from Barry O), and direction by Brennan.

“Explosive” is an overused term in journalism.

But this report is explosive.

Rumor has it after Obama read it he was so worked up, he had to go see Valerie Jarrett for another Spanking (You’re a Bad Boy) session.

Does anyone else recall, weeks before the ‘dossier’ went public, a certain Chuckie Schumer on a Sunday yik-yak show, cryptically warn DJT how the intel community has ‘six ways to Sunday’ to “get him?”

The host, of course, never followed up.

Ya gotta think that there is lots of buried animosity between the Hillster and Obummer that goes way back.
Might be good if that got exploited a smidgeon:

Rumor has it after Obama read the tittilating dossier he got so hot he begged Michelle to pee on him.

She didnt have the urge to urinate, so Obama got Valerie Jarrett to give him a Bad Boy spanking with her whip.

For an added thrill, they asked John Conyers to come over wearing his underwear.

HAT TIP marron--- Fusion is taking in millions from DNC and the Russians (they were also on contract to the Russians). Fusion apparently rec'd $9 million ....and apparently paid a hundred grand to Steele. So where did the rest of the money go?

This smells like money laundering.........and espionage. We see here.....modern age espionage is done in a hyper-legal way.....with all the IRS forms properly filed, the boxes checked, i’s dotted and t’s crossed. Its all right out in the open. (hat tip marron)

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

When you look at all the crimes swirling in the DC Swamp, things seems to have been done nonchalantly, lots of evidence left in plain sight. It's b/c "sure-thing" Hillary was not supposed to lose. The Clintons had bought and paid for everything in sight....to assure her win. Yet not even the entire alphabet of butt-protection.....including the MSM, FBI,DNC...... could save the hide of the tainted Hillary.....she is that bad.

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

Fox reported:

<><> (1) Nellie Ohr worked last year for Fusion GPS, which commissioned the salacious anti-Trump dossier.

<><> (2) Fusion's secret police investigated Donald Trump on behalf of "sure-thing" Hillary and the "impartial" DNC.

<><> (3) Fusion was paid indirectly by the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

<><> (4) British ex-spy Christopher Steele and Russian sources put together the salacious dossier.

<><> (5) the phony dossier was likely used by the FBI to fraudulently obtain FISA warrants to surveil Team Trump.

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

ANALYSIS The nefarious nature of the so called “Russian dossier” has come to light, and perpetrators of its salacious (lewd and crude) allegations against President Trump shown for the slanderous falsehoods that they always were. The perps all look like denizens of a Third World banana republic rather than a world-class republic.

Potential charges include:

<><> conspiracy to file false FEC discloses regarding payment to the Russians,

<><> making-up slanderous untrue allegations,

<><> participating in a slanderous action as the basis for a FISA warrant,

<><> filing false affidavits to the FiSA court,

<><> wire-tapping a candidate during an election,

<><>tapping phones at Trump's business/residence

<><> Money-laundering, tax evasion.

August 2016 was the same month as the security conference in Halifax. The one Steele, McCain, and Tim Kaine all attended.
