Is Russiagate really Hillarygate?

The most under covered story of Russia Gate is the interconnection between the Clinton campaign, an unregistered foreign agent of Russia headquartered in DC (Fusion GPS), and the Christopher Steele Orbis dossier. This connection has raised the question of whether Kremlin prepared the dossier as part of a disinformation campaign to sow chaos in the US political system. If ordered and paid for by Hillary Clinton associates, Russia Gate is turned on its head as collusion between Clinton operatives (not Trump’s) and Russian intelligence. Russia Gate becomes Hillary Gate.

Neither the New York Times, Washington Post, nor CNN has covered this explosive story.

David Satter, one of our top experts on Russia writes:

Perhaps most important, Russian intelligence also acted to sabotage Mr. Trump. The ‘Trump dossier, full of unverified sexual and political allegations, was published in January by BuzzFeed, despite having all the hallmarks of Russian spy agency ‘creativity.’ The dossier was prepared by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer. It employed standard Russian techniques of disinformation and manipulation.

As someone who has read every word of the Steele Trump dossier and has studied the Soviet Union/Russia for almost a half century, I can say that the Steele dossier consists of raw intelligence from informants identified by capital letters, who claim (improbably) to have access to the highest levels of the Kremlin. The dossier was not, as the press reports, written by Steele. No matter how experienced (or gullible) Steele might be, there is no way for him to know whether his sources are clandestine Russian intelligence agents.

In Stalin’s day, some of the most valued KGB (NKVD) agents were called “novelists,” for their ability to ...

Written a year ago but still relevant. David Satter's life's work revolves around the inner workings of Post-Soviet Russia, and he explains the motives and rationale behind the meddling, which would have taken place regardless of who the candidates were. (Also worth noting how the American government's own behavior differs or compares.)

he explains the motives and rationale behind the meddling... - not here but in lectures and other writings of his.

yes

This is why Trump has allowed the Mueller Mess to go on and on. As time passes, more Clinton dirt drips out from the investigation. Mueller Mess is doing sooooo much damage to Hitlery. Mueller Mess is generating sooooo much appreciation for Trump.

Of course it’s under covered; it doesn’t go with the leftist MSM propaganda narrative they nurture and coddle like a weak little sapling as they hope it grows into a great big oak tree.

It never will of course. Everyone knows all successful trees (stories) have good foundational roots. The leftist narrative never did and never will. All based on lies and innuendo.

Of course it is. All the evidence points to DemRat collusion with Moscow. From Comrade Obama’s promised (and delivered) “flexibility” on missile defense and nukes to Hillary handing the Russians 20% of our uranium production. This plus the fact that the DemRats are the weak on defense party. Obama (intentionally) attempted to cripple us militarily, as he helped build up theirs.

Anything associated with hitlery should be seen as “Chronic-liar/Traitorgate”. Phew! What’s that smell...
