They are determined to make the Steele dossier the genesis of the FBI investigation into the Trump campaign when the facts point to Papadopoulos and Page.
    Ohr's wife worked for Fusion GPS and apparently seems to be (this means I'm not sure for the trumpanzees) the conduit for the transfer of the dossier to the FBI.

    Portions of the dossier have been confirmed.

    The FBI obtains evidence from a source that's been credible in the past that trump might be able to be blackmailed by the Russians. Trump is already known to have people working for him in the campaign with iffy backgrounds when it comes to the Russians. trump's campaign employee Page has been approached by the FBI in the past and told point blank he was meeting with sketchy Russians and if he continued he would be investigated. Page ignored them and continued to meet with the Russians, which gave cause to the first FISA warrant being granted. The dossier had little to do with it.

    Later, Papa D brags to an Australian diplomat that the trump campaign has gotten dirt on Hillary from the Russians....

    Thus starts the witch hunt.
    "I was a good student. I comprehend very well, OK, better than I think almost anybody," - President Trump comparing his legal knowledge to a Federal judge.

    Thanks for that!

    I wonder who inspired Nunes to go travelling during an election season and saw that the government funded the trip?

    I'm sure R Mueller will have asked that same question.

    Apparently he paid for it out of his own pocket which makes it even more extreme.

    LOL, so it wasn't sanctioned by the US government?

    If Nunes asked me for a donation, I'd tell him he shouldn't have spent so much money on a fishing trip that didn't bring home fish.

    Trump just shittered this...

    White House Counsel Don McGahn will be leaving his position in the fall, shortly after the confirmation (hopefully) of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. I have worked with Don for a long time and truly appreciate his service!


    Can't imagine why....

    Who wouldn't believe it?

    Kremlin Sources Go Quiet, Leaving C.I.A. in the Dark About Putin’s Plans for Midterms


    WASHINGTON — In 2016, American intelligence agencies delivered urgent and explicit warnings about Russia’s intentions to try to tip the American presidential election — and a detailed assessment of the operation afterward — thanks in large part to informants close to President Vladimir V. Putin and in the Kremlin who provided crucial details.

    But two years later, the vital Kremlin informants have largely gone silent, leaving the C.I.A. and other spy agencies in the dark about precisely what Mr. Putin’s intentions are for November’s midterm elections, according to American officials familiar with the intelligence.

    The officials do not believe the sources have been compromised or killed. Instead, they have concluded they have gone to ground amid more aggressive counterintelligence by Moscow, including efforts to kill spies, like the poisoning in March in Britain of a former Russian intelligence officer that utilized a rare Russian-made nerve agent.

    Current and former officials also said the expulsion of American intelligence officers from Moscow has hurt collection efforts. And officials also raised the possibility that the outing of an F.B.I. informant under scrutiny by the House intelligence committee — an examination encouraged by President Trump — has had a chilling effect on intelligence collection.

    Here is the short list of public figures. The number of private individuals in various capacities that got hit is known to be an order of magnitude higher.

    Like Cohen the weasels rolled over to escape the grill, Jared Kushner may be the next domino in Muellers softly sofltly catchy trumpy.

    As to Steele it's almost irrelavant who peed on who , Putins got dirt on many people and when he's gone Medevedv will inherit the SfB archive

    He seems a bit spineless and weak, so it's possible, especially if there's dirt on him that he wants to avoid prosecution for. He'll wait for what Netanyahu advises him. Will Netanyahu support Trump (more powerful) or Jared (Jewish with Israeli interests)?
    What is interesting is the Trump camp are thinking of hiring Jared's own lawyer for the WH legal team. That could produce some ethical dilemnas for Abbe Lowell. If Lowell doesn't take the WH job, I think it may hint at potential professional conflict of interest.

    Definitely possible. I think he's from the same mold as Manafort. Arrogant and sees himself as untouchable. He'll just keep denying any wrong doing and if worst comes to worst wait for a pardon.

    today could possibly be a day of significant bombshells from mueller.

    there is a DOJ policy about not impacting elections...and the unwritten guideline is not to do anything 60 days out.....therefore, since monday is labor day, the mueller investigation will likely go dark (still working, but no public statements or charges) until after the election.

    so the theory goes that if mueller is going to do anything else before the election, today is the last day to do it.

    we'll see.



    please let it be jr and kushner. please, please, please.

    1. you haven't been paying attention if you think all these indictments, guilty pleas and convictions are 'nothing'.
    2. i would rather mueller take his time and nail down the conspiracy and obstruction charges thoroughly rather than risk a mistake by moving too quickly.
    3. to date, this investigation isn't even half as long as the clinton investigation in the 90s....these things take time.
    4. if trump had submitted to an interview, this likely would have wrapped up sooner.
