ANALYSIS: Carter Page’s House Testimony Provides New Insight Into The Steele Dossier

Some of what former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page disclosed in testimony to the House Intelligence Committee last week matches up loosely with allegations made in the infamous Steele dossier, according to a transcript of his interview released on Monday.

In particular, Page’s statements about a trip he made to Moscow in July 2016 included details that are laid out in the dirty document, which was financed by the Clinton campaign and DNC and authored by former British spy Christopher Steele.

It appears the entire dossier was set up to be a series of false accusations. There seems to have been many Russian communist officials providing information. The "dossier" then took these small pieces of unverifiable information and with no evidence whatsoever turned them into accusations.

There is no evidence whatsoever of money being exchanged or illegal activities.

[blackdog]

Yes but it was democrats and republicans who claimed “it’s the seriousness of the accusations that matter” when they go after political enemies. It is not the unemotional boring truth that gets followers.

"Page said that he was contacted by a Wall Street Journal reporter on July 26, 2016, a week after Steele wrote the memo, about any contacts he had with Sechin and Diveykin."

!!!!!! DING DING DING.... this could be hugely important, because it suggests that someone (Fusion GPS, with strong prior contacts to the WSJ) was behind the scenes feeding info from the Steele memo to the WSJ immediately after Steele's memo would have been sent to Fusion GPS. The "dossier" was not public until many months later, so how did a WSJ reporter get the word to ask Carter Page about Sechin and Diveykin in July of 2016??? DING DING DING.....

Clearly the Clinton and DNC groups, which we now know were the same thing, were dealing with the Russians. They set up Trump Jr. And they wanted their restrictions ended. It seems Russia tried to weaken Hillary a little so their money would continue to have influence. As she gained strength she could afford to dismiss them.

Fusion GPS which was working with the Russians on several issues hired the Russians through an ex-english spy of Russia. The DNC and McCain got the Russian produced dossier to the FBI and CIA who used it to bug Trump. And start FBI investigations. And MSNBC’s parent company had a sister company release the Dossier to the public when others would not print it.

Clearly MSNBC Russia and the DNC worked to manipulate each other and the American people, breaking numerous laws during the process. The Swamp has gotten out of control.

But lets not forget that republicans, especially the anti-Trump crowd and the likes of Paul Manafort who has been involved in republican party politics since Ford, have also been taking Russian money. Russia likes to destabilize each party while paying for influence. Its called playing the long game.

That wouldn't have happened, she would have just asked for a larger "donation".

[Robert DeLong]

We already knew the dossier was being shopped around, so this is really not a big revelation. The real question is who exactly was doing the shopping of it around to the press outlets? Was it really Steele as has been reported or was it someone else?

[Flaming Conservative]

Page denied being a trump/russia liaison. That’s the main point. Whatever he did or didn’t do, it was on his own. That’s what counts.

Russian spies know, that she will ask for more money. But like an over fed dog will stop doing tricks for treats, An over paid politician will stop doing favors for money. Better to keep her scared. And besides Obama double crossed the Russians after they double crossed him.

[TBP]

They knew it was fake. It was so fake that even the New York Times and Washington Post rejected it. That's why Buzzfeed had to publish it. No one else would.

[Chewbarkah]

Numerous articles have said that Fusion GPS shopped the dossier to news outlets. These outlets supposedly tried to verify the contents without success, and did not publish it(excepting NBC, which owns Buzzfeed). Page’s statement fits that perfectly. Hillary was paying GPS to promulgate Russian propaganda to interfere with the election. I suggest arresting her and holding her on $1 billion bond. She has the scratch.

I’d love to see the trail of the dossier to Buzzfeed, and whether NBC, GPS, or something else, tossed it to them.

[jjotto]

Looks to me that Carter Page and George Papadopoulus were working for Fusion. The MSM/DNC was so sure of ‘collusion’ because that was their setup.
