New Details Reinforce That The FBI Used Fake Pretexts To Start Investigating Trump
The Federalist ^ | November 30, 2018 | Margot Cleveland

The evidence continues to mount that during the Obama administration, the FBI used George Papadopoulos as a prop to legitimize launching its investigation into the Donald Trump campaign. While the FBI claimed it initiated Crossfire Hurricane on July 31, 2016 in response to reports that Russian-linked individuals told Papadopoulos the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton, that story seemed shaky from the start.

Since then, text and email messages between former MI6 spy and Fusion GPS dossier author Christopher Steele and twice-demoted Department of Justice attorney Bruce Ohr raised the possibility that information Steele fed the FBI through Ohr was the true justification for the the FBI targeting the Trump campaign. A Wednesday tweet from Carter Page gives further credence to the suggestion that the Hillary Clinton campaign-funded Steele dossier served as the basis for the FBI’s interest in the Trump campaign.

Donald Trump emboldened and empowered the Deep State against him by not firing 100% of the Federal Attorneys by the day after inauguration in 2016 - as did, as I recall, William Clinton in 1992.

Trump thought he could do the Art of the Deal with unelected globalists who have never worked an honest job in the private sector in their professional lives. Trump was wrong, and the Buck stops with him.

I was tired from the day that Jefferson S.E.S.ions recused himself - and I have felt like Charlie Brown since Bush I.

Everything that followed Jeffy’s betrayal was predictable to anyone aware of history and not deluded by Qultic Mythology.
