Fusion GPS - Page 2

Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the infamous “pee dossier” on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump, was first hired by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to obtain damaging information on Paul Manafort — weeks before the firm hired him to produce his now-discredited, conspiracy-weaving dossier.

Lee Smith’s “The Plot Against the President” suggests the present “impeachment inquiry” is the fruit of a poisoned tree.

This column will explain the impeachment farce in two minutes. By the end, you will thank the media for demanding the release of Trump’s phone calls with the presidents of Ukraine and Australia.

There is a struggle going on in Washington, DC, which threatens to bring about the destruction of our American experiment in self-governance.

A staffer for Rep. Adam Schiff’s House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence took a trip to Ukraine last month sponsored and organized by the Atlantic Council think tank, which is funded by and works in partnership with Burisma, the natural gas company at the center of allegations regarding Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

Sections of a so-called whistleblower’s complaint alleging President Donald Trump was “using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country” in the 2020 presidential race relies upon a self-described investigative journalism organization bankrolled massively by billionaire activist George Soros.

Devin Nunes (R-CA) called the whistleblower complaint involving President Trump and Ukraine “another Steele dossier.”

If you can get the Department of Justice to attack the person who beat you in a presidential race, you are fairly clever. Or maybe not – as nefarious characters in the DOJ were more than willing to help Hillary Clinton.

Victoria Nuland, a former Hillary Clinton associate who served as a senior official in John Kerry’s State Department, was in communication with Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, according to a newly released FBI document.

Newly released FBI records reveal the FBI used senior Justice Department official Bruce Ohr as a conduit to “pee dossier” author British ex-spy Christopher Steele in 2016 and 2017.

A liberal watchdog group that has investigated the Trump administration and Republican lawmakers last year paid nearly $140,000 to Fusion GPS.

Wednesday’s hearings featuring former Special Counsel Robert Mueller failed to captivate audiences across the country, with viewership tanking, at least compared to similar political events on Capitol Hill in the past. 

And  the sore loser, Never Trump TrueCon Cuck coup to overturn a presidential election ends not with a bang, not with a whimper, but with this pitiful gerbil-like squeak of despair from Jonah Goldberg:

NEW YORK — A defining moment of today’s televised hearings came when former Special Counsel Robert Mueller claimed that he was “not familiar” with the controversial Fusion GPS firm.

Donald Trump Jr. expressed skepticism Wednesday that Special Counsel Robert Mueller “never of heard of Fusion GPS,” the opposition research firm that partnered with Perkins Coie — the law firm working with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign — and Christopher

House Intelligence Committee ranking member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) opened the second portion of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony Wednesday by blasting the “Russia collusion conspiracy theory,” saying it is much like the mythical Loch Ness Monster.

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller refused to answer questions about the Steele dossier during his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee Wednesday and declined to even say whether or not he read the document, which played a significant role in the origins of his investigation.

Donald Trump Jr. spoke to students at TPUSA’s Teen Student Action Summit (TSAS) in Washington, DC, on Wednesday and opened his speech with a few words on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, calling it a “disaster” but “fantastic” for Republicans.

Donald Trump Jr. declared former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee a “disaster” for the Democrats after a series of missteps and flubs by the former head of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Former Special Counsel Robert Mueller told the House Judiciary Committee repeatedly on Wednesday morning that the potential collusion between Democrats and Russians in the 2016 presidential election was “outside my purview.”

Judicial Watch has obtained new emails showing that senior Obama State Department officials advanced the Russiagate hoax just before the 2016 presidential election.

John Kerry, President Obama’s secretary of state, seems to be having trouble staying within the legal bounds of the Logan Act, so it’s not surprising that his State Department lieutenants were getting their hands dirty in the conspiracy to bring down Donald Trump.

NEW YORK — While he was an official at the Obama State Department, staffer Jonathan M. Winer facilitated a meeting between anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and the senior director of a firm that did extensive pro bono work for the Clinton Global Initiative.

Former FBI Director James Comey wrote an op-ed on Tuesday denying the FBI ever spied on President Trump’s campaign in 2016.

NEW YORK — Conflicting testimony and narratives between disgraced former FBI director James B. Comey and former attorney general Loretta E. Lynch raise serious questions not only about who is telling the truth but also about Comey potentially mischaracterizing or even fictionalizing key claims he made about President Trump and the Russia collusion story.

Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Kathleen Kavalec and former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, discussing the targeting of Donald Trump with Steele dossier material.

Comments made by Attorney General William Barr about extraordinary arrangements regarding the original handling of the Russia investigation may take on more significance in light of a previous report showing a high and unusual degree of compartmentalization in the Obama-era intelligence community’s initial intel set up of the Russia probe.

Christopher Steele distributed his unverified “pee dossier” to the top levels of British intelligence months before Trump ever became aware of it.

Barr’s review of the origins of the Russia investigation is focused on intelligence gathering before the FBI opened its probe in July 2016.

NEW YORK — Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey conceded that when it came to details inside the infamous anti-Trump dossier his FBI “didn’t know whether they were true or false.”

President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani is planning to travel to Ukraine in coming days, along with lawyer Victoria Toesning.

A newly-uncovered document suggests that the Obama DOJ, including the FBI, was “well aware” that foreign agent Christopher Steele was trying to interfere in the 2016 presidential election with disinformation — and yet still used his materials to spy on American citizens and the Trump campaign.

NEW YORK — A largely unreported footnote in Special Counsel Robert S. Mueller’s final report raises immediate questions about the Obama-era FISA warrant obtained to monitor the communications of Carter Page, a tangential adviser to Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

The Ukrainian Embassy confirmed recently that a DNC contractor had asked for dirt on former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

The Mueller investigation failed to find any evidence to support the big lie that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government and failed miserably to prove any obstruction.

Victoria Nuland, President Obama’s assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian Affairs from September 2013 until January 2017, has been linked to the notorious anti-Trump dossier fabricated by Hillary Clinton’s opposition research firm.
