The Dossier was created by Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS was paid by Clinton/DNC. Fusion then paid Steele to write the Dossier with his MI-6 credentials (not active at the time). Steele, as a foreign national and not subject to our restrictions on spying on US citizens, claimed the Russians had compromised Trump and had intel on him to include golden showers with hookers at Moscow hotels. (Yes, they took it to that level)

The FBI knew all of this in July 2016.

The Steele Dossier was then used by the FBI to get a FISA warrant to spy on Trump and his campaign. They also used Steele as a source. They didn't disclose any of this information to the FISA court in their application for the warrant. Again they knew the Dossier was bullshit.

The FBI renewed this warrant several times to continue their investigation. Still with the full knowledge all of this was false, likely hoping to catch Trump on something/anything.

At several times key FBI personnel including Comey and McCabe were asked about surveillance of Trump after Trump's tweet about being spied on at Trump Tower. They denied it. Under oath.

There are multiple examples of conflicts of interest. Bruce Ohr's wife worked for Fusion GPS while Ohr worked on the FISA warrant request. Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa Page texting about the need to construct an "insurance policy." Strzok was also instrumental in clearing Clinton in 2016. Multiple text messages lost/deleted. Allegedly recovered but I don't think they've been released.

The FISA aspect of this meant, even with knowledge of the warrant, no one could disclose. Even Sessions had to stay out. Up until the Nunes memo's release, there were cries of damaging national security to keep this conspiracy secret. The media has been able to lie to people's faces about Trump and RUSSSSSIAAAANZZZZZ! knowing Trump could not defend himself without releasing classified info--something he very publicly accused Clinton of doing in the 2016 campaign.

This conspiracy has voided the credibility of the FBI or anyone at DoJ to hold the President accountable. They have been outed as political hacks who helped aid in this attempted coup with the DNC and their media. Trump could have committed multiple Logan Act violations, there is no way to continue a legitimate investigation let alone impeach, indict, convict.

Trump could be indicted for obstruction of justice for asking Comey to go easy on Flynn but now that the entire investigation is a sham, how could that possibly move forward? People are even wondering about Flynn's guilty plea.


This is a good synopsis of the events as far as I understand them. I suggest watching the video commentary by ex federal prosecutor Joe diGenovea, linked by davsel in post #26. It makes the case that FBI/DOJ that this was a criminal conspiracy, a soft coup attempt to takeover the presidency. I think the foundation for Mueller's investigation is trashed and the only way he can save his reputation is by quickly closing the Russia collusion farce. But this is a war over money and ideology and the bad actors are not going to go peacefully, Mueller included I think.

Will nothing come of this as foxtrot suggests? I agree with Bailey Guns that the exposure of corruption of the DOJ/FBI officials in collusion with the DNC/Hillary campaign is huge and demands cleaning house with prosecution of the schemers. But those conspirators in conjunction with the corrupt leftist media will continue to control the message for the vast majority of Americans who resist the complicated issues, are tired of the contention and don't care anymore because they want it all to be over.

The Democrats don't want it to be over no matter the poor optics as long as they kill Trump. They were dong fine swimming in the Ryan-McConnell swamp. The Republicans can't afford to abandon their base which increasingly belongs to Trump because the bloodletting is far from over.
