Trump goes of rail on Tweet--accuses Russia, Democrats and the FBI of fabricating the Russian story

[oreo]

"This is, of course, somewhat common fare by this point in the arc of Trump's presidency. Faced this week with storylines he doesn't like -- questions about the Niger attack, controversy over a phone call he placed to the widow of one of the soldiers lost in that attack, Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Capitol Hill facing questions about Russian meddling in the election -- he aims to change the subject via his Twitter feed. And he often does so by lobbing out a conspiracy theory with only the loosest ties to the factual world.

But even by Trump standards, this morning's tweet is somewhat remarkable. He is suggesting that a dossier prepared by a former member of British intelligence has not only been totally discredited (it hasn't -- more on that in a minute) but that it might have been funded by some combination of Russia, the Democratic Party and, wait for it, the FBI!

At issue is a dossier prepared by Christopher Steele, a former British spy, which details explosive allegations about potential ties between Trump's campaign and Russia. The dossier's more salacious elements regarding Trump have drawn most of the attention -- and remain totally unproven. But it appears as though US intelligence officials do take some chunk of what Steele found quite seriously."

As many know already FUSION GPS was hired by Jeb Bush to originally do opposition research on Trump. Fusion then hired a retired M1-6 agent Christopher Steele--who has years of experience spying on Russia. When Bush dropped out of the race, Democrats picked it up for awhile, then dropped it. Then Christopher Steele thought the Dossier file was serious enough that he gave it to John McCain and McCain delivered it to Obama. Shortly thereafter, Obama ordered all Russian diplomats out of this country and ordered the Russian investigation.

Fusion GPS had a closed door hearing with the Senate Intelligence committee that lasted for 7 hours, and Christopher Steele has already been interviewed by Robert Mueller.

That Fusion personnel are taking the 5th is like they're screaming the Democrats are nefariously involved.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

He's working to bring down the US and he knows the trumpkins will blindly believe any BS he says. That's what he said he wanted to do, its what RWNJs have said that's what they want, nutter Bannon said it. Remembering when tee potties said they wanted the same thing and now they've morphed into this insane alt right, kkk, fascist conglomeration and they won't stop.

I miss the days when we had Conservatives and Republicans.

oreo Thanks for the links.

Well the Dems were in charge of all federal agencies. They did after all spy on Trump and his staff during the election, and illegally leaked information to the media.

Not sure what the point of this thread is. Perhaps more phony outrage about President Trump speaking the obvious truth?

The Dossier...LOL

Republicans had (and still have) control of the legislative branch. Even though FBI/CIA/NSA are non-partisan organizations, when GOP has control over congress, you certainly arent gonna have dems in charge of all federal agencies.
I'm not sure how anybody can just take Trump's word on any claims he's made, considering his reputation.

Its this story.
Thats the house intelligence committee, not the senate one.
The author of the dossier is talking to Mueller, and they haven't plead 5th to senate committee.
But, nothing the dossier has been discredited, unless you're a right-wing hack.

You post that that gutter lie that they spied on the Trump Campaign as if it were the truth when it had been thoroughly denied and debunked.

Trumpanzees simply have no shame.

Glenn Simpson, whose Fusion GPS firm has been tied to anti-Trump efforts and pro-Russian lobbying, will not talk to lawmakers in response to a subpoena, the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committe said Friday.

Committee chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and ranking member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., confirmed in a statement that they subpoenaed Simpson to appear before the committee Wednesday as part of a hearing about the influence of foreign lobbying in last year's presidential election.

"Simpson’s attorney has asserted that his client will invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to the subpoena," Grassley and Feinstein said.

Don't lefties understand that Trump was a civilian and the burden of keeping Americans safe from foreign interference in the electoral system rested on the narrow shoulders of president Barry Hussein Obama? What we are left with is the insane possibility that the Hussein administration was either criminally negligent or the Hussein administration was a partner in the scam in order to bolster Hillary's campaign.

I believe it's up to 16 criminal prosecutors, money laundering experts, now the criminal division of the IRS jumped in, and Mueller has convened two grand jury's. And criminal indictments should be forthcoming on Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn. And of course Trump is under investigation for Obstruction of Justice over the firing of James Comey.

No it was the owners of Fushion GPS that took the 5th during at the House investigations. As owners, it's very possible that they don't know much about the Dossier file.

The CEO of Fusion GPS already spent hours with the Senate Intelligence committee and answered a lot of questions.

WASHINGTON — The co-founder of a Washington opposition research firm that produced a dossier of salacious allegations involving President Donald Trump met for hours with congressional investigators Tuesday in a closed-door appearance that stretched into the evening.

Glenn Simpson's lawyer emerged from the daylong private appearance with the Senate Judiciary Committee and said his client had "told Congress the truth and cleared the record on many matters of interest."

The lawyer, Josh Levy, noted that Simpson appeared voluntarily and said he had so far been the only witness to participate in a private interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee as the panel looks into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The sheer length of Simpson's appearance - far longer, for instance, than Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, spent earlier this summer before Senate and House intelligence committees - reflected the intrigue on Capitol Hill surrounding the dossier and the origins of the document."

IOW--there was no reason for the House Intelligence committee to Subpoena the OWNERS of Fusion GPS, when the Senate already had testimony from the CEO of that company that was actually involved in Trump's Dossier file.
