How the Clinton machine flooded the FBI with Trump-Russia dirt … until agents bit
The Hill ^ | 1/22/2019 | john Solomon

When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That’s what Hillary Clinton

HILLARY DIANE RODHAM CLINTON Elise Stefanik seeks to tackle GOP’s women ‘crisis’ ahead of 2020 Russian pop star linked to Trump Tower meeting cancels US tour Graham angers Dems by digging into Clinton, Obama controversies MORE ’s machine did in 2016, eventually getting the FBI to bite on an uncorroborated narrative that Donald Trump and Russia were trying to hijack the presidential election.

Between July and October 2016, Clinton-connected lawyers, emissaries and apologists made more than a half-dozen overtures to U.S. officials, each tapping a political connection to get suspect evidence into FBI counterintelligence agents’ hands, according to internal documents and testimonies I reviewed and interviews I conducted.

In each situation, the overture was uninvited. And as the election drew closer, the point of contact moved higher up the FBI chain.

It was, as one of my own FBI sources called it, a “classic case of information saturation” designed to inject political opposition research into a counterintelligence machinery that should have suspected a political dirty trick was underway.

Ex-FBI general counsel James Baker, one of the more senior bureau executives to be targeted, gave a memorable answer when congressional investigators asked how attorney Michael Sussmann from the Perkins Coie law firm, which represented the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party, came to personally deliver him dirt on Trump.

“Ex-FBI general counsel James Baker, one of the more senior bureau executives to be targeted,”

Isn’t he under criminal investigation?

FBI/DOJ/CIA/ODNI were all part of the Clinton machine.

The Hill must be confident that no one will ever be prosecuted to print this.

FBI/DOJ/CIA/ODNI were all part of the Kenyanesian Usurpation.

BOTH parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution.

I’ve always thought the Clinton email leaks were done on purpose by her staff. It made her a victim and there wasn’t anything of substance.

Perkins Coie had 2.7 Million seized by the Feds as part of the Backpage.com human trafficking investigation.

So the new spin they want us to believe is that the good, perfect, angelic FBI isn’t treasonous, but rather Hillary’s machine tricked them into investigating Trump?!

***The Hill must be confident that no one will ever be prosecuted to print this***

When at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. That’s what Hillary Clinton’s machine did in 2016, eventually getting the FBI to bite on an uncorroborated narrative that Donald Trump and Russia were trying to hijack the presidential election

In light of Ohr's (or Baker's ?) testimony that he briefed the FBI repeatedly about the political source of 'the dossier', it appears that Solomon is giving them a big 'out' with eventually getting the FBI to bite... From what we have seen one would suppose that some senior FBI officials were all too eager to receive the 'dirt' and to act upon it.

Plus I ain't too prone to buying the gullibility of the FISA judges; no follow up action on their part... and Chief Justice John Roberts is in charge of those judges: where is some reaction on his part?

Roberts is compromised. All of the FISA judges probably are as well.

give thanks John Solomon.

never become cynical. keep digging. keep publishing.

your reporting - and Sara Carter’s - are reaching more and more people, making the FakeNewsMSM look ever more corrupt, simply because they will not investigate or cover the Spygate story.

MSM is dead. time to bury the MSM.

That is exactly what this is.

It started with the NYT article with the same sub-message.

Yes, it happened, but the innocent FBI and DOJ were pulled into it, mainly because they were so pure of thought that being set=up never occurred to them.

We are so lucky to have such angels working in our Justice system. And then, Christopher Wray came along and sided with these innocent people.

And then Prince Christopher tried the shoe on her foot... and it FIT.

HOW STUPID DO WE LOOK??????????
