What really is the relevancy of the released Fusion GPS transcript...?

[TyroneSlothrop]

There's your problem....

Please don't take too much offense, but you really are just a waste of cyber space.....oh, and an inane idiot to boot .

and not only that the creature thinks he is a devastating poster

 

[bendog]

The first question that we should all ask ourselves is the WHY the release of this transcript was vehemently opposed by the Trump cultists in the Senate.

Grassley has always been a whore for right wing causes, and he'll probably retire as a whore fairly soon. Grassley even directly threatened Christopher Steele.

But, Graham's opposition is another story. Here is someone with a troubled personal life who has found the senate to be his only life-mate. He WAS a hawk and a McCain shadow; but, unlike McCain he sold out to Trump after a little golfing outing with the orange golfer....Speculations abound.

However, the real relevancy that has surfaced from the excerpts reported, addresses a few nuggets worth mentioning to those Trump defenders:

1. Steele, apparently, cared enough to inform the FBI that there was a strong possibility that Trump was open to Russian blackmail

2. That the FBI found Steele's warming even more relevant because they had a mole within the Trump entourage who ALSO confirmed Steele's allegations.

3. Reports that someone in Russia had been assassinated for possibly sharing information with Steele is also a disturbing revelation.

4. It is also interesting to conclude that although the FBI was "investigating" what was happening in the Trump AND in the Clinton camps during the lead up to the election, the FBI ONLY chose to reveal the existence of such investigations about the Clinton candidacy (in Comey's case, 11 days before the election.)

So, regardless of partisanship leanings, any decent American should question the WHY republicans in the senate felt so compelled to NOT release this testimony transcript and to basically allow the public to judge its validity...........We should all remember that, as in the past, the "cover up" is what ultimately gets elected folks in trouble with those who elected them.

According to CNN early this morning, one of the announcers had actually speed-read the whole 312 pages of transcript and said it was CLEAR and EVIDENT how partisan this investigation has become, with the Republicans asking questions to damn Fusion rather than asking anything about the information Steele found. According to CNN, the bi-partisan investigation is dead and this proves it.
I'm just reporting what they said. It gives a clearer picture of the Republicans' mindset to hang Fusion than it does any conduct by Steele or Trump or the Russians.

Yeah, Feinstein wanted to out Grassley and Graham for their hack job. And also, Steele and Stephens should not be legally harassed for disclosing what they found, and suspected, to the FBI. We'd want to know if Hillary was up to fishy stuff, and she was. LOL But not with Russia. Unlless they were funding her Foundation. LOL.. They probably were

 

[hadit]

I mean seriously, does anyone with at least a room temperature IQ (Celsius) believe the democrats would have released this if they thought it would exonerate Trump?

Following your fucked up logic, then,,,,,,you're finally admitting that the transcript IMPLICATES Trump?

As we saw with Maddow's use of Trump's tax returns, that remains to be seen.

 

[evenflow1969]

Why were Republicans trying to suppress it?

Start there.

Moron, Fusion said they would only testify behind closed doors.

and then asked for the tapes to be released....

why weren't they?

Because Republicans spun a huge web of LIES around GPS and Christopher Steele that they did not want you Trumpsters to know about...

AND now, you trumpsters refuse to recognize the lies of Sen Grassley, and rep jordan and the florida representative and even lindsay graham and FOX and Briebart and Townhall and Daily Caller and Hannity and Rush and so on and so forth with right wng fake news.....

C Steele did not commit a crime by turning over concerning information to the FBI, we encourage people to turn over precisely the type of possibly criminal activity that Steele found....

don junior should have reported to the fbi, the Russian gvt wanting to supply stolen emails with dirt on Hillary, but as steve bannon said, don jr's actions were traitorous or treasonous....

with few exceptions like a place where a meeting took place, or a misspelled name, nothing in the dossier has been proven to be false, so far.

Trump has possibly been compromised, and Russians have the dirt on him for black mail....(not Trump's fault, it is what Russians do best)

Fusion GPS began research on Trump's involvement with Russia because Trump had made several proposed deals with Russia and made several trips there, with no deals ever made....why was that?)

in that search for information they found all kinds of possibly criminal behavior and in the least disturbing behavior by Trump's campaign team

They also found possible money laundering by Trump, for Russian Oligarchs in real estate through Duetsche Bank, Trump's Bank and also major money launderer for the Russians, who was recently caught and fined bigtime for it....

Fus GPS did NOT PAY any Russians for the information Steele collected, that's another right wing ade up out of the clear blue...LIE.

Steele did not know who hired GPS for the research....another right wing LIE when they said Steele worked for Hillary to find dirt on Trump....

And any any more lies of the Republicans were exposed in the release of the document.

So when are the 'russians' going to release all the blackmail stuff they have on Trump? You idiots now claim the russians have been 'grooming' Trump for years.
Now the russians have their mole in the White house who they can blackmail into doing anything.
How about all those 'sanctions' Trump was supposed to lift????????
President Trump has INCREASED!!!!! the sanctions you moron!

It is not smart to release info used for black mail. It kind of stops the black mail. Black mailer release the info when they no longer have leverage or are not getting what they want. I am not saying that is what is happening here. I can not prove black mail at this point. This is just how black mail works.

What really is the relevancy of the released Fusion GPS transcript...?

House Intel Committee Chairman Grassly just stated Feinstein's personal decision to release the transcripts on her own constitues 'Obstruction' because it now makes the Intel Commuttee's job of investigating harder... (Could cause potential witnesses / persons of interest reluctant to testify..)

Enough of Democrats leaking...

Feinstein should be indicted for Obstruction of Justice'...

 

[easyt65]

Reported on the radio minutes ago:

It will be released / reported tomorrow the FISA Warrants the Obama administration got to spy on Trump before the election were obtained through a FISA court based on the fake news / un-substantiated Russia-propaganda-filled Dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton.

FISA warrants must be based on factual evidence and since the Dossier has been debunked / was never substantiated the warrants constitute an abuse of the Constitution / Rule of Law....CRIMES.

If this turn of events is reported / released tomorrow this spells MASSIVE trouble for Hillary, Comey, the FBI, the DOJ, Lynch, and Obama.

Please stop showing us your stupidity and Grassley's....This will NOT hurt any future interviews because she released it... and supposedly others are in fear she will release their testimony when they want it secret. Fusion GPS WANTED AND ASKED FOR their testimony to be released. and Feinstein released it... as the witness WANTED.

A week earlier, Grassley went behind Feinstein's and the whole investigative committee's back with Graham to request a criminal investigation on Steele from the FBI....

What goes around, comes around, Mr Grassley WEASEL.

You don't prove facts before getting a warrant. An investigator avers as to why he/she has reason to believe the information presented to the court is "credible." If it later turns out the investigator lied, there are remedies.

but in this case, anything Steele asserted had a source. So ... good to go. so sad easy.

You have to have facts to go on to get a warrant. Warrants aren't issued based on BS you pull out your ass.... then again, Democrats do.

Warrants, investigations, Special Counsels - all based on a fake, Russia-propaganda-filled report from an ex-British spy who used Russian sources?

Suddenly snowflakes are not only ok with but ate justifying their leaks.

Feunstein individually decided what was 'best' and released the dicument herself, which she did not have the authority to do.

Perp-walk her ass for Obstruction....

Excellent analysis on the Fusion GPS Testimony
Not sure who Elizabeth McLaughlin is, but she pretty much nails it in her analysis...

THREAD ON FUSION GPS. I spent the afternoon reading the transcript that Senator Feinstein released today. Here are the salient points, with citations. I am a lawyer and CEO. I was a securities fraud and human rights litigator in DC/NY for over 15 years. Read on for takeaways.

....

5/ On the Fusion GPS retention on Trump: "it evolved somewhat quickly into issues of his relationships to organized crime figures . . ." (Tr. 61-62)

6/ Fusion GPS concluded early in their investigation that Trump has serious ties to Russian organized crime, including money in his companies from "Kazakhstan, among other places, and that some of it you just couldn't account for." (Tr. 67-70)
7/ Fusion GPS hired Steele as a part of "drilling down" on specific areas of concern about Trump's business dealings internationally, and Steele was not the only subcontractor hired. (Tr. 76-78)

8/ Asked about Christopher Steele as an investigator, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS described him as a "quality" investigator in high profile situations and "a boy scout." (Tr. 81-82)

9/ Fusion sent Steele into Russia with a broad assignment to look into Trump's dealings in Russia. And what they found was that "it wasn't a giant secret" that "Donald Trump had a relationship with the Kremlin." “People were talking about it freely.”

...

45/ And then there is this explosive bit: Steele and Simpson weren't sure that @Comey EVEN KNEW ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS. Which would explain a lot. An awful lot. (Tr. 220-221)



The entire thread is here:
Unrolled thread from @ECMcLaughlin #Resistance #RESIST #ResisterSisters

That's not a source that's a made up hit piece by the Democrat/Clinton machine. So far you have provided 0 proof. Feinstein should be arrested.

If you want that kind of country, then move or move back to, Russia!!!!

Fusion GPS transcripts reveal two things—the corruption of Trump, the treachery of the Republicans

Fusion GPS transcripts reveal two things—the corruption of Trump, the treachery of the Republicans
By Mark Sumner
Wednesday Jan 10, 2018 · 8:47 AM EST


The transcript of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee released to the public by Dianne Feinstein is both the entire congressional investigation in brief, and a revealing insight into why Republicans have been so anxious to keep this information under lock and key.

Every question asked by Republicans in the meeting—every single question—focused on trying to find information they could use to demean and defame the witness. They wanted to paint Fusion GPS as a “Democratic operation.” They were determined to turn Christopher Steele’s visit to the FBI into a partisan act. They used every moment of their time to find something Fusion had done wrong, or that Steele had done wrong … some way that both the company and the information they had gathered could be dismissed. In a day-long interview that was supposed to further the investigation into connections between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, no Republican expressed the slightest interest in that topic.

snip//

What we learned from the release of the transcripts only confirmed what we’ve seen in public hearings: Republicans are doing everything they can to protect Trump, even if that means attacking people who only did their best to uncover the truth. Republicans are even willing to press criminal charges against a man who put himself at personal risk and brought what he had learned to the attention of the FBI because what he found was such a threat to America, and possibly to the world.

What the transcripts reveal is that, in investigating connections between Donald Trump and corrupt governments overseas, Fusion GPS demonstrated that the government right here in the United States is equally corrupt. Equally willing to trade truth for power. Equally ready to condemn those whose only crime is uncovering information which those in charge want thoroughly buried.

The information collected by Fusion GPS is an indictment of Donald Trump as a front man for mobsters and corrupt governments whose crooked dealing and personal excesses left him open to easy manipulation.

But the Fusion GPS transcripts are an indictment of the Republican Party, as an entity that has lost any concern for the nation, fairness, or the facts—an entity addicted to power by any means, and willing to use that power to close the mouths of those they view as threats.

Still no proof only spin from KOS....Nice try Mr. Spin.

And Steele did NOT KNOW who the GPS clients were....

Fusion GPS did not tell him who the clients were, so they could get a clean, professional report.
