After nearly two years since the Steele dossier was published, it remains the cornerstone of the case for collusion. The dossier model has also given rise to similar operations.
A trove of recently released documents sheds further light on the scope and logistics of the information operation designed to sabotage an American election. Players include the press, political operatives from both parties, and law enforcement and intelligence officials. Their instrument was the Steele dossier, first introduced to the American public two years ago.
A collection of reports compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, the dossier is now engraved in contemporary U.S. history. First marketed as bedrock evidence that Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election, the dossier’s legitimacy took a hit after reports showed the Hillary Clinton campaign paid for the work.
The revelation that the dossier was used to secure a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page compromised the integrity of the investigation the FBI had opened on Page and three other Trump associates by the end of July 2016. Nonetheless, that same probe continues today as the special counsel investigation.

Can I git me a ‘duh’ here? ping
and a tree falls in the forest but no one was there to hear it, except the choir that has already been preached to.
The media black-out will continue on anything that doesn’t make Trump look bad, and particularly on anything that does make him look good or exonnerate’s him from the systemic media narrative
Clinton paid for, Clinton owned ... never will face a day of jail.
OK, tell us something we don’t know - like Will Anything Ever Be Done About It?

The Uniparty or Deep State thought they had us in a box that we could not escape from, that we would never be able to elect a President who would stop the intentional fundamental transformation of our country through a bipartisan policy of non-enforcement of laws and borders.
Trump is a threat to their New World Order.
I think we’re going to have to deal with these people in the next couple of years, or lose our system of government.
How about some stocks and gallows up and down Pennsylvania Avenue for a start? And, warm the tar and gather the feathers.
I think the correct word is anathema.
Obama clones using Marxist political tactics...Stalin would be proud.

ITEM-—Journalists Dined at Top Clinton Staffers Homes Days Before Hillary’s announcement of her candidacy
Wikileaks via Breitbart ^ | October 17 2016 | Ezra Dulis / FR Posted by grey_whiskers
ITEM..... Several top journalists and TV news anchors RSVPed “yes” to attend a private, off-the-record gathering at the New York home of Joel Benenson, the chief campaign strategist for Hillary Clinton, two days before she announced her candidacy in 2015, according to emails Wikileaks published from John Podesta’s accounts.
ITEM-—The guest list for an earlier event at the home of John Podesta was limited to reporters who were expected to cover Clinton on the campaign trail. —snip—
===================================
ITEM-—Wikileaks revealed earlier that late night talk host Stephen Colbert, and his team at Comedy Central, were making TV episodes at the request or order of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) back in April of 2013.
So, viewers thought they were vote-smart because they’re informed by a comedian, yet same said comedian was doing Hillary’s bidding the whole time.
ITEM——I hope talk hosts Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher, Seth Myers, Trevor Noah and Conan O’Brien have their lawyers on retainer and speed dial.
ITEM....because if the Trump Administration uncovers that the DNC and the Clintons were directly working with any member of media and their writing staff during the 2016 Presidential election, they could be charged with violating Federal election laws.
=======================================
DEMAND Podesta be placed under intense scrutiny.
L/E needs to (a) uncover Podesta's hidden agenda, and, (b) determine exactly who is directing Podesta's activities.
Podesta has been close to power for years, effortlessly getting numerous top level, high-powered govt jobs, and he even controls the media.
Podesta got rich trading on insider info, and is paid off for his powerful connections. Podesta received valuable stocks in a Russian- connected energy company.The Saudi Royal Court paid Podesta's PR Group $200,000 for a month-long project to provide “public relations services”. (verified to date).
People paying large sums of money expected payback if Hillary got elected. Powerful money interests could be directing Podesta to overturn the election to insure they get payback.
<><> Podesta chaired Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign.
<><> Podesta is 2016 Hillary Clinton's campaign Chair.
<><> Podesta was President Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff 1998-2001.
<><> Podesta owns the Podesta Group with his brother Tony, a major lobbying firm (has a website).
<><> Podesta Chairs the Center for American Progress, his Washington DC-based think tank.
<><> Podesta headed Obama’s transition team in fall 2008.
<><> Podesta once served as Counselor to Obama.
<><> Podesta once worked at Hillary's State Dept.
<><> Podesta serves as the Clinton Foundation decision-maker.
<><> Podesta had been tapped for Hillary's COS, if elected.
<><> Podesta founded Progressive Media w/ CNN, HuffPo, MediaMatters, WaPo, Dem SPAC’s, etc.

It's WAY TOO EARLY to arrest anybody. There is still a massive number of people who don't know who the role of Strzok and Page in framing Trump.
But there are MILLIONS like you and me who are demanding arrests and convictions for the Hillary's and Obama's of these series of crimes. When there are millions more added to the WE WANT JUSTICE list, then it will be time to arrest the traitors.
Yuck . . . Ben is obviously a man who lacks discernment and good taste . . . regarding women and everything else!!!
Someone said Obama was backing Francis the Non-Hispanic so you can bet that he’s bad goods too.
Since it is 2 years and nothing has happened....except stalling by many on our side....the Republic is finished.
I’m sorry, but we need to teach our children with more reliable methods of investigation and critical thinking than that. Let’s work with reliance on ever-better evidence, the freedom to think outside our preconceived notions, and incorporating sound reasoning with our tentative conclusions (until we see as if face-to-face).
