Ohhh: "Intelligence" That Trump Cavorted With Prostitutes In Russia, and That the FSB Had Kompromat on Him, Was First Claimed in Cody Shearer's Memo, Before Migrating to the "Steele Dossier"
I've earlier speculated that, given that Hillary's disreputable-to-the-point-of-absurdity "researchers" Sidney Blumethal and Cody Shearer were actually the major ghostwriters of what we call the "Steele Dossier," and that Christopher Steele was brought on mainly as a Front Man, a "cleanskin," whose name slapped upon the Blumenthal/Shearer joint production would lend it a veneer of credibility that the names Blumenthal and Shearer would not.
Allegation laundering, I'm speculating. This is just a speculation. I don't have any facts that establish it, only that suggest it as a possibility. Such as the now-admitted fact that Shearer and Blumenthal continued feeding Steele their own "intelligence" (I can't put enough sneer-quotes around that word in this context) and that Sidney Blumenthal was, for reasons not yet explained, interviewed in connection with the "Steele" Dossier. Almost as if he knew something about it. Well, now there's a new bit of data: Cody Shearer is the guy who obtained, supposedly, "intelligence" from an unknown foreign (RUSSIAN) source about Trump supposedly staging a Urinary Olympics with prostitutes, kompromat material claimed to be in the hands of the KGB successor organization the FSB, and then passed this splashy, stinky tip to Christopher Steele. Oh, by the way: Christopher Steele only began work on "his" dossier in June 2016. But in August 2016, Shearer was already peddling this outlandish bit of dezinformazioniya to the press. Which suggests that maybe Shearer was already working on this smear campaign before Steele was hired. Chuck Ross:Clinton insider Cody Shearer obtained information from an unidentified foreign sourceWhich might be why someone would want to erase the title "The Blumenthal/Shearer Dossier" and rewrite it as "The Christopher Steele Dossier." Because we all know that Christopher Steele is an unquestionably reliable man who would never lie to the FBI, except those times when he did lie to the FBI resulting in the FBI firing him as their special foreign friend.
Cody Shearer, a longtime Clinton insider, was peddling dirt on President Donald Trump as early as Aug. 2016, two months earlier than previously known, a U.S. government source tells The Daily Caller News Foundation. The official also said they originally discounted the information when they first heard of it because of Shearer's reputation as a Clinton hostaet man. Shearer, a former journalist, was "not a guy with a whole lot of credibility," said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of investigations into the various Trump-Russia investigations.
Did he? Did he write it, or did he just edit it? I mean, I "wrote" this post. But you'll notice -- it seems to contain an awful lot of Chuck Ross' reportage in it.
The House Intelligence and Senate Judiciary Committees are investigating the so-called "Shearer memo" and how it made its way from the Clinton operative, through the State Department, and into the hands of Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the infamous dossier.
Steele passed some of Shearer's information to the FBI in Oct. 2016, The Guardian first reported Jan. 30. ... Steele provided the FBI with a handwritten memo based upon information from Shearer, according to The Atlantic. The note also reportedly referenced Shearer's association with Blumenthal and disclosed that the information was unverified. The Shearer memo and the Steele dossier contain some of the same unverified allegations. The core allegation in the Shearer memo was that Russia’s spy agency, the FSB, had video footage of Trump engaging with prostitutes during a 2013 trip to Moscow. The first memo in Steele's dossier, dated June 20, 2016, makes a similar allegation. Steele’s sources claimed that the FSB had recordings of Trump with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room, and that the footage was being used as "kompromot." It remains unclear whether Shearer and Steele obtained their information from the same source.The article notes that Sheaer and Steele "share common friends." Now, I can't quote the whole thing, and it's worth the read in full: I omitted the parts about how one of Hillary's minions in the State Dept. Derp State helped shepherd this document to the FBI. Here's a question for ya: Why did Steele present his document to State, knowing that the FBI was actually the agency that would be tasked with investigating such claims? He's not a naif (we're told -- he's James Bond, practically!), and he's worked for the FBI before. So why is he passing this to State? Where Hillary's flunkies work? And why did Shearer also pass his bullshit to a State Department official, when Hillary Clinton has been his patron and client for 30 years? I would imagine the answer in both cases is to create layers of separation insulating the men responsible from these memos from the memos, and to create the illusion that this is Definitely Not the Work of Hillary Clinton. Nope, these are just dossiers, Definitely Not Paid for By Hillary Clinton, showing up as hot tips at Hillary's State Department, and then being passed by one of her employees to the FBI. I'm sure she didn't know about any of this. Also see the article to see a fuller explanation as to why Cody Shearer could not really pass around a dossier with own name at the top of it -- his reputation stinks like a bed pissed on by dirty Russian prostitutes who just got back from an asparagus-eating orgy.

Just seems an enormous gamble over careers and jail time when its pretty obvious to anyone that's not playing to the cameras that billionaire Donald Trump is not some Putin lackey and all the surveillance in the world is not going to show otherwise.

Steele maintains that even showing up for a deposition would be harmful to British intelligence (sound familiar?).
The opposing attorney has said Steele "is asserting he can't speak about things. We have pointed out that he's spoken to anyone who is willing to listen, every journalist, and the FBI.

Two reasons:
-- She needed to counter any allegations that she worked with Russia re: Uranium One, maybe other CGI shenanigans. Also, make him look just as sleazy as bill (hookers, etc.).
-- She needed to destroy Trump so that he could not continue to effectively challenge her, should he contest the election results, and after as she started her presidency.
Also recall one of Obama's people (Ploufe. IIRC?) had a tweet that said essentially "we don't just need to defeat Trump, we need to defeat him so badly all of his kind are defeated, too." That would be us - the deplorables.

If they DID find proof -- photos of Trump cavorting with hot make-sexy prostitutes in Russia -- and released the pix before election day...Trump would have won by an even BIGGER margin.

2) Inability to distinguish between varying quality of information (there are pictures of Trump in New York, but this unverified rumor places him in Moscow...).
3) Prejudicial thinking (not just Trump is bad, but a former MI6 spy would never lie to us).

Watergate was definitely about spying on the Donks. G. Gordon Liddy et al. were busted busting in to DNC headquarters at the Watergate Hotel to remove bugs that had previously been planted in their phones.
The majority opinion is that this was pursuant to an attempt to influence the election but Liddy thinks it was regarding a blackmail effort concerning John Dean's whore wife.

Did you know that it was a law pushed by Chuck Grassley in the fall of 2016 that restored the power to Inspector General and the person who led the fight to get it done was Inspector General Michael Horowitz, the same guy who is doing the investigation of the DOJ and FBI?
And finally, for the last time today, Sessions is NOT recused from any investigation but the Trump Russia investigation. That's it. Period. End of story.
The various committees in Congress have been asking for a second special counsel since last summer. They are laying the groundwork to have one once the IG report hits and nobody will be recused.
This is not like any investigation that took place during the Obama years because he and Holder and Lynch saw to it that the required information would never see the light of day and they would not prosecute no matter what evidence was produced.
That is the entire point of the Hillary email investigation.

They believed then, and continue to believe to this day, that Donald Trump is a Kremlin stooge and they are going to find the evidence to prove it. They believed that the evidence was there to find, and that they were going to find it. That's why they grasp at straws -- because they have utterly convinced themselves of the truth of what we all know is a lie. The conspirators within the FBI/DOJ/MSM believed they were serving their country. Sure, they might have bent a few rules here and there, but it was all toward a good purpose, and they would be proven right in the end. The fact that serving their country and serving the interests of the Clintons turned out to be the same thing, as it so often does, was just to be expected, because the Clintons are patriots who saved the country from the evil Republicans. This is the way they think. Millions of TWANLOC agree with them.

well imo the Sessions recusal was NOT part of the plan, and made for great difficulties for Trump as that gave Deep State powerful leverage over him.
The OIG was hard at work well before Sessions. BUT maybe Trump worked through all that.
I have yet to see evidence that Mueller was brought in on team Trump, early or later. Trump has relied on the military side (Mueller was military, so MAYBE he flipped against Deep State, to save his own skin?)
Anyway ... Sessions IS involved in things not Mueller, so not totally asleep (though still obstructing, for some reason). If setting up Rosenstein/Mueller with unlimited power was part of the master sting ... Bully for them. I just don't see that ... yet.
We are seeing action like never before, so some reason for hope. Some say "don't kid yourself, the whole thing is to get Hillary, the crime lord, and maybe her bosses up the chain." hope so.

No that was only 2.0 of the Op after the election, to keep the President and his prospective cabinet "under investigation."
The "investigation" WAS the message in McLuhan terms. The investigation was designed an Op to gather illegal surveillance, to then leak any and all "dirt" found to the media in half-truths during the election (with the path to the leakers covered over by massive "unmaskings.")
It was a disinformation intelligence op all along.

I'm one of those nutty mcnutbar civil libertarians who believe that the NSA, et al., should not have the powers they do because those power will be abused and that the FISA courts are a horrific mess of flat out rubber stamping of anything the DOJ and FBI wishes.
That being said, I do comprehend the need for closed door procedures by which sensitive national security matters can be discussed and investigations can be undertaken without the target of those investigations discovering this by the very simple matter of having someone monitor dockets. I am open to discussions on how best to weigh the practical difficulties with the importance of the Fourth Amendment in its strong original form, not the watered down version that we have now.
And then this crap happens and I throw my hands in the air because, seriously, people, seriously? And when the how dare you attack the FBI brigade starts up, why should I try to be a reasonable adult?

Even if they had a video of Trump sitting down with Putin and asking for Hillary dirt and bot help, it's not illegal. It would be unseemly, but its not illegal.
They have Obama on a hot mic telling the Russian President he'll remove missile shields after the election when he has more flexibility in order to garner some concessions afterwards, and that's also not illegal. And its smoking gun evidence of secret collusion involving his campaign.

So no excuses for McCarthy. He understands the substance as well as anyone but simply refuses to consider that institutions and people he knows are variously criminal, stupid, unfit, etc. Whatever. He's useful for technical tidbits but otherwise is to be disregarded.
(not even going to mention his really stupid anti-Trump asides, which seem to have diminished, but which I assume are part of social positioning for his environment)
Posted by: rhomboid at February 08, 2018 01:27 PM (QDnY+)
He is not shooting his mouth off. He is giving his opinions which are the same as when he was President. Yeah you may not like those opinions he had as President but he is not coming out with anything different and has not mentioned Trump by name or position. He also said that it was indeterminate if the Russian interference effected the election. He talked about the interference as a basis for his overall criticism of Putin and not anything to do with Trump.

McCarthy cannot accept that he was not a good guy working for a noble institution of justice and he absolutely cannot accept that the people who he claimed were above reproach are dirty as hell.
Now, that makes sense on a personal level. But it does not make sense for someone who is attempting to hold himself out as an objective purveyor of analysis.

Indeed, that is my point. The evidence that has been exposed so far in the investigation of a non-crime has now incriminated not Hillary but biased bureaucrats with a mission to use the government institutions to defeat Trump.
Hillary hasn't committed a crime that we know of on the Dossier (well, maybe campaign finance laws) but she's guilty as hell of mishandling classified information as well as a possible host of other crimes linked to the Clinton Foundation.

"And ANYWHERE that might lead" is the key part. That means in person in the country, basically. It gave Mueller an excuse to attack whomever they wanted.
ALL the evidence actually led to Hillary, Podesta ... AND Mueller surely knew they were the instigators. Yet (at least publicly) he voraciously attacked Trump's people, including family where he would gain most leverage over POTUS.
From the outside at least he seems to be working as deep state operative ... MAYBE he went after Podesta, hard to say.

Someone had to look in a database to get details on Michael Cohen's travel to put in this fake memo, for the FBI to 'verify'. Who did this? Did the FBI assign an agent to verify this detail, and have that agent come back and say it was a different Michael Cohen with the same birthday, a clear sign they were being set up, but the FBI higherups ignored it?
