Anti-Trump dossier author was hired to help Hillary challenge 2016 election result

British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who wrote the Democrat-financed anti-Trump dossier, said in a court case that he was hired by a Democratic law firm in preparation for Hillary Clinton challenging the results of the 2016 presidential election.

He said the law firm Perkins Coie wanted to be in a position to contest the results based on evidence he unearthed on the Trump campaign conspiring with Moscow on election interference.

His scenario is contained in a sealed Aug. 2 declaration in a defamation law suit brought by three Russian bankers in London. The trio’s American attorneys filed his answers Tuesday in a libel lawsuit in Washington against the investigative firm Fusion GPS, which handled the former British intelligence officer.

In an answer to interrogatories, Mr. Steele wrote: “Fusion’s immediate client was law firm Perkins Coie. It engaged Fusion to obtain information necessary for Perkins Coie LLP to provide legal advice on the potential impact of Russian involvement on the legal validity of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election

Frigging limeys and Russkis were colluding with the Three Clintoons.

We have known all along that the only person NOT colluding with Russians was Trump.

This would make a great segment on “House of Cards.”

I think it’s more likely that then-candidate Trump would be in prison right now, had he not prevailed. Fair and square, mind you.

Remember, Mrs Clinton was supposed to win. It wasn’t supposed to even be close. No, my theory is they were going to really put the screws on him after her landslide. Well, not my theory, it’s obvious. Keep in mind, whatever it is they are saying, and doing, to the President - is how they feel about you. Notice up until he ran for President, everyone, and I mean everyone, was totes cool with DJT. Then, as it turns out, just as soon as he throws his hat in the ring - remarkably, practically the entire world somehow failed to notice what a horrible guy he is. Weird, huh?

Regardless of one’s opinion of the CINC, he has done yeoman’s work utterly exposing just how many douchebags there are in government and media. Admittedly, they do not like this.

Why is this still news? We’ve known this for months. We keep wading through the same old shitz every day. Is it that hard for people to wake the f???! Up?

***hired by a Democratic law firm in preparation for Hillary Clinton challenging the results of the 2016 presidential election

This has been HRC's MO since election night. Just in the last week Clintonista Joe Lockhart stated that everybody now knows that Trump was not legitimately elected.

Robt Mueller is a key cog in this machine... perhaps a broken cog but still helping to drive the engine. To wit: campaign finance violations; not really crimes, but it is all about public perception. You can't throw a popularly elected official out of office and replace them with the losing opponent unless you undermine their popular support.

HRC's MO.

It would be fitting if information presented by the Russians lawsuit ends up being used to prove that Trump didn’t collude with them, but that Hillary did.

‘Perkins Coie’ sounds like the name of Hillary’s French hairdresser. N’est pas? Bon jour.

The dates on the PDF for delivered and filed are 12/10/2018. It means facts are finally getting on record in U.S. courts that start to show the entire Russian-Collusion story was fabricated. That makes this important.

Must be the TIMES is running out of stories so they’re doing re-runs.

Thats right, she (herself) had the DNC sign over control of the DNC finances to Hildabeast (herself) and her campaign.
So that’s why she (herself) needed that deal with Donna Brazil. She (herself) just didn’t want to use her own corrupt money. She was too cheap. Had to use OPM. That’s just how the Clintons roll. Haiti paid for their daughters wedding, too.
