New Documents Suggest The Steele Dossier Was A Deliberate Setup For Trump
federalist ^ | 1/2/2019 | Lee Smith

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.

Trump can cure this by denying Pelosi security clearance if she is elected as Speaker for her anti-American actions of covering up the Benghazi terrorist attack. That the BILLIONS of $$$$ lost by Hillary as Secretary of State that could have paid for Trump’s wall should be a follow-up comment.

Everyone knows it’s fake. Some people don’t care that it’s fake, that’s the only difference.

So.....it just occurred to me, just a thought that passed through my head, about how corrupt the entire Mueller investigation is. Consider this: Mueller terrorized Trump associates, like Flynn and Manfort, to admit they had done lobbying work for foreign governments. The purpose being to JUSTIFY THE ILLEGAL FISA COURT USES, POST FACTO. Mueller is there to try to justify the use of the FISA court, cover for Clintons, Obama, Roberts, R.R, and most importantly his BFF Comey from CRIMINAL PROSECUTION, as well as the Never Trumpers. How it fits the data: 1) Covers all the “subversive” entities that were pro-Hillary and Obama. 2) Covers criminal activity of political spying by justifying the FISA post facto as necessary. 3) Keeps people from looking into Mueller involvement in Uranium One and history of Prosecutor misconduct that mark his past. 4) Keeps Obama from having a trial for his illegal involvement, which would open his past during discovery. 5) Attempts to keep the media from looking one sided and ludicrously politically biased from all of the public. 6) Allows delay on investigation on the Clinton Foundations(note pleural) 7) Gives Democrats an attempt to retake congress via lies that anger their base. Yes, it was political genius, but it was completely illegal. Subversion of the Constitution, and should be prosecuted as such. Except, we know that Government is so dirty there is no one that can prosecute at the DOJ. We the People no longer have a real voice in government. The attack on Trump is an attack on the Republic.

Model:

1. Create fake documents.
2. Use documents to accuse those who oppose you as criminals.
3. Arrest said criminals.
4. Convict said criminals.
5. Thank Lavrentiy Beria and Joseph Stalin.

Speaking of no collusion, What the heck is Mueller doing dragging out his circus on the taxpayer’s dime, sheesh.

I suspect that Carter Page was an FBI plant. Part of my logic is based on the dossier. I suspect that they sent Page to Russia in order to test Steele. They wanted to see what Steele would have to say about Pages visit to Russia. And then they bugged Pages phone—not because they wanted to know what Page was doing but rather because they wanted to record people who were calling Page. That’s probably also why they werent worried about violating Pages rights. He was one of them.

***“We were very concerned when Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee pushed for another FBI investigation of Kavanaugh,” said a congressional investigator on the Republican side familiar with the dossier operation. “We didn’t know who would get it at the bureau and who we can trust over there.”

If you cannot trust the DoJ/FBI then DEFUND IT! you cowardly PoS!

Congress is full of a bunch of worthless carpetbaggers!
