DNC funded Steele Dossier, Comey legitimized it
Steele Dossier Background
In April of 2016 the Democrat National Committeee (DNC) learned of a breach into its computer server. The server contained many e-mails demonstrating the DNC leadership’s contempt for blacks, Jews, Catholics, “needy Latinos“, and Bernie Sanders supporters, among others. Other e-mails laid out their collusion with the media and their railroading of Bernie Sanders.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz initiated actions to limit the damage by directing the compliant media to a fictionalized conspiracy about Russian government hackers. Working behind layers of lawyers and PR firms, she hired cyber security firm Crowdstrike to “investigate” the alleged Russia hack. Crowdstrike found no physical evidence of Russian government involvement, but announced its conclusion implicating Russia based upon the hacker’s Russian-like methods and tools.
The DNC paid over $12 million to various legal and PR firms to create the Steele Dossier and other quack conspiracies which pushed the asinine Trump-Russia collusion fantasy.
In June, the DNC team hired former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele to put his name to the sensational head-fake known as the Steele Dossier. The dossier fraudulently accused Trump of Hollywood-style perversions, and of colluding with Putin to defeat Hillary Clinton.
The Steele Dossier allegations, contained in 9 reports totaling 35 pages, and compiled between June and December of 2016, struggled to find an audience. Team DNC repeatedly shopped the report to the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Yahoo News and The New Yorker. The outlets reported some of the allegations which they attributed to anonymous sources. But they stubbornly refused to stake their reputations on the entire collection of unbelievable and unverifiable fairy tales. What to do?
Enter James Comey, stage left
If the report itself failed to move the media to publish it, maybe an FBI investigation would do it. So, in the summer of 2016 Steele briefed the FBI on his report. The FBI began obtaining warrants based on the phony claims in the dossier.
The CIA briefed Harry Reid and other Democrat politicians who reliably began talking up the Russia hack meme. Shortly before the election, when DNC funding ended, Comey’s FBI offered to pay Steele to continue his reporting. However, when details of the dossier began to leak to the public, the FBI decided against the arrangement.
“Maverick” GOP Senator McCain delivered a copy of the Steele Dossier to the FBI in December 2016, but they already possessed it. And still no major media outlet would publish it in all its salacious glory. So on January 6, 2017, intelligence agency heads John Brennan, James Clapper and James Comey conducted a formal intelligence briefing with President-elect Trump.
After the formal briefing, FBI Director Comey privately notified Trump of the allegations in the Steele Dossier. Minutes later, the subject of the meeting – the Steele Dossier – leaked!
There were only two people in the meeting: Trump and Comey. Whose side leaked it? (If you can’t figure this out, you’re a Democrat.)
Purposeful Leaks Achieved Specific Goals
- The leak of the Steele Dossier briefing enabled the colluding Democrat media to report the salacious allegations without attaching itself directly to the demented document. The existence of an FBI investigation into the dossier’s allegations lent credibility to the allegations, and provided the pretext for the media to cover it. Mr. Steele finally got a date to the prom!
- The Comey leak of a memo regarding a prior meeting with Trump led directly to the appointment of the special prosecutor, who turned out to be Comey’s friend and mentor Robert Mueller.
Glenn Simpson’s Personal Anti-Trump Jihad Served Hillary’s Campaign
Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson personally approached Hillary donors with an offer to smear Donald Trump with fraudulent Trump-Russia collusion “research.” Simpson, a hyper-partisan Democrat smear merchant, experienced a deranged anxiety over the prospect of a Trump presidency.
Simpson recruited Steele and repeatedly encouraged him to shop the dossier to the media. The DNC funded Steele and Fusion GPS through its legal team at Perkins Coie.
Perhaps the most amazing aspect of Steele’s work is the incredible timeliness of his initial report. Hired on June 17, 2016, within just three days Steele somehow managed to unearth multiple talkative sources within the highest levels of the Kremlin, including close Putin associates. And he never left London!
James Comey elevated the relevance of the Steele Dossier by unquestioningly accepting its corrupt premise. The FBI apparently used the dossier’s allegations to obtain warrants against Trump associates. The dossier served as the impetus for the expansion of the Russian collusion investigation with the appointment of Comey’s friend Robert Mueller as special prosecutor.
The Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory is a wholly-owned operation of the DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, its allies within Obama’s intelligence agencies and a crusading, smear-spreading anti-Trump zealot.
JBO says
Steele wrote dossier in three days. Mueller has been trying to hang Trump for 6 months, makes sense to me (just kidding) it is all BULL-waste of money. The more I read the more I understand how corrupt these politicians are and how it took an outsider (Trump) to bring all of this to the American citizens attention. How does Mueller investigate things that are potentially damaging to himself and his cronies ( James Comey), you couldn’t write a better comedy then this, its unbelievable. Steele’s information is obviously made up and Mueller has no case, Mueller needs to go away till his indictment. When will the Clintons get rid of the informant from the FBI. You know that’s coming, probably heart attack at an early age, right Hillary? DNC donors and Tax paying citizens are paying for this whole freak show, doesn’t anybody get it ?, we are paying for these morons to turn this country into a freak show-millions of dollars for a fake dossier and millions for a investigation into nothing-Just LOVE it.
