Clinton’s collusion: Who will investigate the new Russia scandal?
NY Post ^ | October 25, 2017 | Post Editorial Board

Posted on 10/26/2017 12:15:09 AM PDT by Oshkalaboomboom

After more than a year of lying denials, Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee now stand exposed as the funders of that salacious dossier alleging years of collusion between the Kremlin and Donald Trump.

The FBI stands exposed, too — as having agreed to keep paying for the same research after Trump was elected.

All of which raises lots of disturbing questions, plus the possibility that if anyone colluded with Moscow, it was Team Hillary.

The Washington Post reported that Clinton and the DNC paid millions to a DC law firm, Perkins Coie, which in turn hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump.

Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer who compiled the 35-page dossier containing information he claimed came from Russian government and intel officials.

But Fusion has its own Kremlin ties, having done paid work to try to reverse the sanctions imposed in the Magnitsky Act, named for a Russian whistleblower tortured and killed in Moscow — work that allegedly included smear campaigns against Magnitsky and Bill Browder, his top champion in the West.

Little wonder Fusion GPS has been stonewalling Congress’ efforts to get to the bottom of this, with company officials taking the Fifth Amendment.

And why the FBI has been resisting congressional subpoenas for information on its role in the whole matter.

What we had here wasn’t a leak from intelligence sources, but a piece of opposition research — contracted and paid for by President Trump’s opponents and prepared by a firm with a record of Russian-linked smears — which the FBI glommed onto.

Indeed, it looks very much like the whole Trump “collusion” probe was prompted by the Democratic-commissioned hit job. The same dossier seems to have been the FBI’s pretext for FISA warrants on Trump officials

Don't worry. Trey Gowdy and his team of crack investigators will get right on it.

Mueller will leak some rumors against Trump to distract from the dossier.

Why anyone would believe the lies then and now about President Trump does not understand the man.

The Clinton's sold out their country...I think that is called treason. Don't let anyone tell you the Clinton's gave their lives to their country...blahblahblah. The used their offices to make money for themselves...

Obama had to know as did Valerie Jarrett...Obama gave millions of $$$$ to Palestine in his (last day in office...) using military aircraft to take it to Palestine. Obama is as corrupt as the Clintons AND both Obamas are the real racists.

Yeah, right. There’s something going on with Gowdy. At one time I considered him one of the Young Turks who wouldn’t let go till he got to the bottom of things. But now, he’s gone soft and passive. Thinking the Dem’s have a picture maybe....?

I would like to see Jeff Sessions appoint a woman as Special Prosecutor to go after Hillary. Somebody with a tract record for convictions and has some integrity.

A select committee of two: Rudy Giuliani and Alan Dershowitz. A Republican and a Democrat, but both patriots.

“Yeah, right. There’s something going on with Gowdy.”

I saw Gowdy in a TV interview within the last 2 days state he has confidence in Mueller.

...
Sessions ,like Rush said on 10-25-17, needs to publically state he is no longer refused as facts show collusion with DNC, Clinton, and hire Victoria Toensing to investigate and prosecute under his direction.

Congress can only investigate and refer to Justice for prosecution. We have not had a Justice department that was willing to prosecute for 15-20 years from Congressional findings. That is why nothing has happened.

The DEMS have all the electronic comm records on anybody they considered important.

Plus, imagine if you came home and your wife and kids told you that there were 5 death threats received by phone today plus the promised gang rapes on your family. I think that is why Chavez (R-UT) retired (my speculation).

Mueller will investigate Uranium ONE deals. He has already drafted the letter which says there was no illegal or unethical activity. Mueller's draft has already been approved by Rosenstein and Hillary after both personnally consulted with Hussein Obama.

Hussein was sure the REPUBS are stupid enough to fall for it. He commented that if it worked for Comey and Hillary's emails, it will work again. Loretta Lynch commented that she wasn't so sure, she argued that nobody could be stupid enough to fall for a scam like this twice......

“The same dossier seems to have been the FBI’s pretext for FISA warrants on Trump officials.”

This is the part most people are missing. It ties into Trump’s claim that he was “wiretapped” and how Trump campaign information was shared with the Clinton campaign. Watergate was about stealing democrat campaign information. That’s Watergate x 100 and Obama was behind it all or at least facilitated it.
