Senator Dianne Feinstein Releases Transcript of Glenn Simpson Fusion-GPS Testimony
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | January 9, 2018 | sundance

Posted on 01/09/2018 1:40:40 PM PST by Texas Fossil

Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and the leading minority member of the 2016 Gang of Eight (intelligence oversight) when she previously held Vice-Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, released the full transcript of the Judiciary Committee interview with Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson.

The transcript was released over the objections of Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley who is investigating the role of Fusion-GPS and their “Steele Dossier” in the 2016 DOJ/FBI surveillance operation of presidential candidate Donald Trump.

It has been suspected that Feinstein gave up her Senate Intelligence Vice-Chair position, following the election, because there was an inherent political risk for any oversight Democrat in relation to the FBI’s Trump Operation.

Are we approaching the point where Pandora's box is opened? If so, it may never be possible to put it back in the box.

I did not understand why DF would do this earlier, but on another thread it was suggested that by releasing this, now all the other suspects who will be called to testify can now shape their responses to have coordinated (while untruthful) answers. She did this to allow criminals to avoid perjuring themselves and getting caught. DF should be arrested for obstruction right now.

Political honor is like virginity. Once you’ve lost it you can’t get it back.

Because the chairman wants to help catch the conspirators and she wants to provides them the means to avoid getting caught

It's about as hard to find among adults, too.

Raw, or edited for narrative? I’d expect the latter given Feinstein.

OT:

I am using that name in my forthcoming science fiction tetralogy, but I came up with it on my own before ever seeing your tag. Honest.

“The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice,” Feinstein said in a statement. “The only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public.”

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) was sharply critical of Feinstein’s decision to release the transcript without consulting with him first.

“It’s totally confounding,” said a Grassley spokesman, Taylor Foy. “Her action undermines the integrity of the committee’s oversight work and jeopardizes its ability to secure candid voluntary testimony,” such as from Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law.

There is a transparency of political activity at work. Amid mounting evidence that is likely to bring massive sunlight upon the politicization of the DOJ and FBI the “AT RISK” politicians are maneuvering themselves to avoid THE BIG UGLY.

Feinstein was dirty as a flight attendant way back in the 60's for Transocean Airlines.

The FBI source (spy) in the Trump Organization was probably inserted by Fusion GPS when they were working against Trump for a “Repubican” during the primaries and provided info to the FBI to enhance the credibility of Fusion’s work product.

The flaw in that argument is that Simpson knew the gist of what he said. No need to release it to the world — the crooks know how to coordinated their stories.

Not sure I agree. While there are some diehard conspirators in the know, it takes getting a lot of people involved to successfully spin off an illegal act of the depth and magnitude of this one. Fabricating evidence, FISA court warrants, NSA unmasking... Lots of folks involved. Too many possible leakers and talkers to trust them all with the true motive or knowledge of the real puppet masters (like Clinton, Obama). Need to protect that deniability aspect for the ring leaders. So lots of potential to find all the inconsistent stories from one end of the chain to the other - until someone leaks the testimony of one link so that other links can tailor their own testimony to match.
