The Notorious “catch and kill" campaign: Turning the National Enquirer into an arm of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign

[Procrustes Stretched]

And yet, Hillary paid for the Steele dossier.

Wow!

"The DNC was fined $105,000 and the Clinton campaign was fined $8,000, according to a letter sent by the Federal Election Commission to a conservative group that requested an inquiry." -- such a bog deal! Better Call Durham.

l
During the Republican primaries, a research firm called Fusion GPS was hired by The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website, to unearth potentially damaging information about Mr. Trump. The Free Beacon — which was funded by a major donor supporting Mr. Trump’s rival for the party’s nomination, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida — told Fusion GPS to stop doing research on Mr. Trump in May 2016, as Mr. Trump was clinching the Republican nomination.

After Mr. Trump secured the nomination, Fusion GPS was hired on behalf of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and the D.N.C. by their law firm, Perkins Coie, to compile research about Mr. Trump, his businesses and associates — including possible connections with Russia. It was at that point that Fusion GPS hired Mr. Steele, who has deep sourcing in Russia, to gather information.

In October, Mr. Trump said in a Twitter post that his party was outraged at Mrs. Clinton’s involvement.

Dude paid for a story, then decided to not publish it. Quote the statute that violates, Simp.

No one claimed that is breaking any law. Making shit up again.

Exactly, they should fine Cohen or Trump.

 

[surada]

Using your logic Hitlery should be on trial for paying Russians for a fake dossier to help her campaign.

FreeBeacon and Paul Singer hired the dossier. They did try to extort Ukraine for oppositional research.

 

[surada]

Another fail.

Try again.

Looks to me like Trump wants to go to jail.

"You're losing all credibility": Judge shuts down Trump lawyer

"Your client manipulated what was said and put it in quotes," Judge Juan Merchan told attorney Todd Blanche.

www.salon.com

Donald Trump's continued posting of attacks on witnesses in his criminal trial is one piece of evidence that suggests he's "angling" for jail time, prosecutors said Tuesday at a contempt hearing in Manhattan where the former president's attorney was told that he was losing all credibility with the court after trying to defend his client's actions.

Trump has repeatedly argued that he should not be subject to a gag order barring him from attacking witnesses and others, including Judge Juan Merchan and his family. He has also at times acted like that gag order doesn't exist, appearing to cross the line in several recent posts on Truth Social in which he attacked Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels and even prospective jurors.

I'll bet the fat orange baboon god wishes he was doing the nasty with Stormy instead of being ordered to sit in court all day long sulking & forced to listen as he's taken apart by his Pecker buddy.

"Nobody knows more about paying for tail then I do, bleeeeve me"!

After Mr. Trump secured the nomination, Fusion GPS was hired on behalf of Mrs. Clinton’s campaign and the D.N.C. by their law firm, Perkins Coie, to compile research about Mr. Trump, his businesses and associates — including possible connections with Russia. It was at that point that Fusion GPS hired Mr. Steele, who has deep sourcing in Russia, to gather information.

Yes, and they paid $5 Million of campaign funds to Perkins Coie to pay Fusion GPS, which the Clinton Campaign expensed as a legal expense.

And knowing full well that the Steele Dossier was a political hit job, the Obama administration went ahead and opened an FBI investigation into Trump, placed operatives inside his campaign, and lied to the FISA Court to secure eavesdropping warrants on Carter Page who they knew was a CIA informant.

Those FISA warrants are much more intrusive than a normal warrant- they allow the FBI to reach down 3 or 4 levels deep on the contact lists and spy on everyone who has contacts with the subject, and everyone they have contacts with, etc, down 3 or 4 levels.

IOW, the warrant on Carter Page meant everyone in Trump's circle and campaign were under constant surveillance.

After the election, the Crossfire Hurricane investigation morphed into the Mueller investigation, knowing full well that the Russian Collusion narrative was a hoax.

The FBI agent (Kevin Clinesmith) who lied to the FISA court (a felony) got off with a slap on the wrist, while people like Popadopolous were sent to jail for "lying to the FBI" because he got a date mixed up on the phony meeting in London (that meeting was a setup from the start).

The lady Russian lawyer from the infamous "Trump Tower Meeting" was a client of Fusion GPS, who she had hired to lobby for the removal of the Magnitsky Act sanctions against Russian oligarchs. She went straight from that meeting to Glen Simpson (Fusion GPS) to make her report.

Igor Danchenko was the source of the "pee tapes" lie. He was another dem operative and Brookings Fellow, who got off scot-free because Durham didn't make a serious case against him.

And this entire fiasco was supported by the so-called "IC assessment" which was equally fraudulent, because the CIA, NSA, and FBI were all aware that the Collusion story was made-up and they were participating in the witch hunt.

Nixon resigned over the Watergate break-in, which was nothing in comparison to the lying and spying on the Trump campaign by the Obama Administration.

No one was punished because they were working for the dems, and it's all just fine to lie and break the law when it's for a "worthy cause" like taking down Trump...

Steele was hired after Trump got the nomination.
You know, when Hillary started paying GPS Fusion.

Gets messy when it gets political.

Can not see any of us regular folks getting away with that sort of behavior in court. Have not spent time there so who knows?

Oh, sorry, she did not break those state laws. Better luck next time!

Is publishing lies about political figures illegal?

Ever hear of defamation? Trump has.
