Byron York: What Was Hillary Clinton's Cut-Out Christopher Steele Doing Pallin' Around With a Putin-Linked Russian Oligarch Who Wasn't Allowed in the United States But Really Wanted that Prohibition Lifted?

Emails in 2016 between former British spy Christopher Steele and Justice Department official Bruce Ohr suggest Steele was deeply concerned about the legal status of a Putin-linked Russian oligarch, and at times seemed to be advocating on the oligarch's behalf, in the same time period Steele worked on collecting the Russia-related allegations against Donald Trump that came to be known as the Trump dossier. The emails show Steele and Ohr were in frequent contact, that they intermingled talk about Steele's research and the oligarch's affairs, and that Glenn Simpson, head of the dirt-digging group Fusion GPS that hired Steele to compile the dossier, was also part of the ongoing conversation.
The emails, given to Congress by the Justice Department, began on Jan. 12, 2016, when Steele sent Ohr a New Year's greeting. Steele brought up the case of Russian aluminum magnate Oleg Deripaska (referred to in various emails as both OD and OVD), who was at the time seeking a visa to attend an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in the United States. Years earlier, the U.S. revoked Deripaska's visa, reportedly on the basis of suspected involvement with Russian organized crime. Deripaska was close to Paul Manafort, the short-term Trump campaign chairman now on trial for financial crimes, and this year was sanctioned in the wake of Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

Note that Christopher Steele seemed very interested in advancing his Oleg Deripaska's interests before he was paid to dig dirt on Trump.

So Oleg seems to be a pre-existing client. I mean acquaintance! Wow, I really brainfarted there, writing "client" when I meant "acquaintance."

"I heard from Adam WALDMAN [a Deripaska lawyer/lobbyist] yesterday that OD is applying for another official US visa ice [sic] APEC business at the end of February," Steele wrote in the Jan. 12 email. Steele said Deripaska was being "encouraged by the Agency guys who told Adam that the USG [United States Government] stance on [Deripaska] is softening." Steele concluded: "A positive development it seems."

...

York reports many emails and calls between Steele and Ohr speaking sweetly of Steele's patron Deripaska.

Whoops, I mean his pal Deripaska! I certainly don't mean to suggest that this Gentleman Spy and Patriot was actually on the payroll of a Russian oligarch linked to Putin!

Boy is my face red on that.

After a call between Ohr and Steele:

There is no note on what they discussed. But a few hours later, still on Oct. 18, Steele emailed Ohr again, and the subject was related to Deripaska. "Further to our Skypecon earlier today," Steele wrote, Hauser had asked Steele to forward to Ohr information about a dispute between the government of Ukraine and RUSAL, Deripaska's aluminum company. "Naturally, he [Hauser] wants to protect the client's [Deripaska's] interests and reputation," Steele wrote. "I pass it on for what it's worth."

We're passing State Department information to Putin-linked Russian oligarchs now?

So, was Christopher Steele being paid to do favors by his boss Deripaska before Hillary Clinton hired him to pay Russians for dirt on Trump?

Wait, I didn't mean his boss Deripaska, I meant his bestie Deripaska.

Boy, me with the typos today, am I right?

Anyway, some Senators are asking if their friendship included benefits, like this former British spy being paid money to do favors for this Putin-linked Russian oligarch:

On Feb. 9 of this year, Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley wrote a letter to Hauser, the London lawyer, and asked, "Is it the case that Mr. Steele, through you, works or has worked on behalf of Mr. Deripaska or businesses associated with him?"
Hauser refused to answer, claiming such information was privileged....
"Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, last week sent a letter to a London-based lawyer who represents Mr. Deripaska," Cotton continued, "and asked if Christopher Steele was employed, either directly or indirectly, by Oleg Deripaska at the time he was writing the so-called Steele dossier. Do you know if Christopher Steele worked for Oleg Deripaska?'
"That's not something I can answer," Wray said.
"Could we discuss it in a classified setting?"

"There might be more we could say there," Wray answered.

Posted by: BurtTC at August 09, 2018 12:52 PM (9chmE)

29 Yes, he is Warner's pal:

2/2018 at the Daily Caller
A new report indicates that Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner was in contact with a lobbyist for Oleg V. Deripaska, a Russian billionaire, in order to get in contact with Christopher Steele, author of the infamous dossier that was used to surveil Carter Page....

An LA Times profile of Deripaska from 2017 described him as "tight" with Putin and said that the two men's ties were "so close that Russia's foreign minister asked U.S. secretaries of state for more than a decade, including as recently as last year, to help Deripaska secure a visa to enter the United States, the Washington Post reported."

So you could say that Warner was...colluding with Oleg.

66 People (like me) want it all brought to justice now (or two years ago).

But rolling out the crimes day after day is a good way to control the (counter) narrative. And WeTheAveragePeople need to digest it slowly.

The MSMs new narrative that it is all some AlexJones dark shadows conspiracy theater, is trying to tamp down the incredible revelations of massive abuse of power and massive government corruption. But too late, most people KNOW that DC is mostly criminal cartel.

So it is reality TV, but hopefully scripted with that happy ending.

88 Hillary and squad were neck deep in Russian Collusion and basically, once the election was lost, did a bums rush on Trump accusing them of their crimes, hoping that once they "found dirt" on Trump they'd boot him out. Cause of course trump is filthy, and they had deep state Moles on their side.

In all seriousness, no hyperbole, I am starting to think that anyone who can support the Dems in charge of this shit show are traitors as well.

Here is a question, in light of all we know now, has any other FISA warrant been taken out on someone who is not a Trump associate? Cause it seems there are a few ways to start listening in on BO and The Bollard Queen, using the precedents set with Trump.

Speculation: Rudy and Trump are just pulling Mueller along - they are not actually negotiating anything. Both Trump, and through him Rudy, have a pretty good idea what went down. They are letting this run on to keep attention to it because (1) every new revelation does more damage to the Deep State actors, NeverTrump, and the Democrats then it does with Trump and (2) because ending it by Trump's hands would just ramp up the charges that he is guilty and covering it up.

Sure it does. Diplomacy is the act of saying "good dog" while looking for your gun. And President Trump can dismiss either Sessions or Rosenstein, but doesn't.

Donald Trump ia not known for his excessive toleration pf failure. But if the other guy is digging his grave, why stop him until it's deep?

I don't know what to make of it anymore. I know Trump is not only smart but he also shrewd - so I hope that the theory that he is letting them dig their own graves and then will stalk them like death as their worlds collapse is accurate. It had better be. If it isn't, then not only is the Republic dead, then we will know that it has been dead for some time and just stumbling about like an ambulating corpse. And if that is true, then there are no rules anymore and things get ugly.

172 Yesterday John Solomon released messages between Christopher Steele and Bruce Ohr. The last of those messages was sent in November, 2017, a full year after the FBI supposedly fired him and prohibited him from collecting information for them.

Who was collecting all those messages as late as 7 months ago?

And getting paid by both the Russians and the FBI at the same time.

Doesn't really matter. He WAS on the Brit payroll.

Note that in his texts he uses 'our' and 'we'...

JackStraw has been paying close attention and has made some pretty shrewd guesses based on open-source information. Others have also been speculating. Now, IMO, getting worked up and going all insulting because others are not paying a particular pet speculation with the respect you think it deserves is just silly.

The real story is that the Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Cmte--Burr, Rubio, etc. are complicit in the crimes of the Dems such as Feinstein and Warner and their aides. Instead, at every opportunity, they back the Senate Dems and the Russia collusion nonsense.

Remember back when it was revealed the Brennan and the CIA were spying on Senate Intelligence Cmte members. I suspect that these Gopsters on the cmte are compromised.

Note Grassley is Senate Judiciary and those GOP folks seem to have a bit more backbone.

not actually negotiating anything. Both Trump, and through him Rudy,
have a pretty good idea what went down. They are letting this run on to
keep attention to it because (1) every new revelation does more damage
to the Deep State actors, NeverTrump, and the Democrats then it does
with Trump and (2) because ending it by Trump's hands would just ramp up
the charges that he is guilty and covering it up.

Trump and team are likely doing this as a way to get people used to the idea (a huge document dump would be a shock/too overwhelming to believe) as well as to get around the MSM.

The MSM could kill one big doc dump in a 24 hours news cycle, like they do so many stories (Vegas shooting?). However, this slow drip of information means that the MSM is playing whack-a-mole with all of these docs, increasing the probability of reaching a wider audience. People will see the accumulation of evidence of what Obama and team did, which allows them to accept it in their own time (at least those that are open to it).

I'm not sure it matters at this point of degradation of our justice system. This is all political.

They have lost all sense of consequence and really believe all that matters is the political war which they think they can win with sheer brute force.

236 >>To be fair, the plan is solely contingent on people doing their own research and thinking critiaclky for themselves instead of mindlessly taking the MSM and pay check cons narrative as gospel

I would think yes -- and no.

Part of how the MSM polarizes someone, such as Trump, W and Sarah Palin, is the constant flow of negative stories about them, day after day, week, month, year. The details blur, but it builds an impression that "this person is a freakshow, and he/she must be as [crazy, corrupt, dumb] as they say or he/she wouldn't be in the news all the time." That's how you get the LIVs to accept it; they don't even have to pay attention**.

THIS is how Trump is waking up the LIVs to what the Left has been up to the past few years - the constant release of new details of their corruption.

**Think about an aversion you might have to someone like Kim Kardashian - so you know much about her, or were you repelled by the way she is constantly in the news looking trashy? That's what the Kardashians are to me: I don't know what they hell they're up to, but they annoy me by simply appearing on my tv/magazine/social media.

He isn't stupid. He clearly knows there was no Collusion and everything that comes out seems to not only underscore that fact--but blows back on him, the Deep State , the Dems and the media. It's like the longer this goes on, the worse they look and yet....Mueller keeps plugging along. Why doesn't he just cut bait and end this thing---thereby ending all the alternative investigations by the House and others? I would think by now that he would have---or at least been given the ( and across the throat gesture) by the Dems--or whoever the true ringleader is (Hillary?), "Wrap it up, Bob."

Your Background investigation does not go away if they downgrade, or even suspend, your security clearance.

And in fact, they are supposed to downgrade or suspend your clearance if you don't actively need it.

We have the greatest intel scandal in history - by leaps and bounds the greatest one - and the SSCI sits there, virtually silent. In the past, when nothing at all happened - fake controversies - you could count on the SSCI sorts to be in front of cameras all the time.

My thing is, not long after the 2010 elections, it became apparent that the R Party was really no better than the D Party. Since then, I don't give them the benefit of the doubt, I don't assume they're working some super duper plan to make the world a better place, if we only be patient enough.

No, I just start with the assumption that they are unreliable, self-aggrandizing narcissistic scoundrels, and wait for them to show otherwise.

So far, they haven't.

Because they know their media propaganda arm provides cover for them.

If this was not the case, if all the intel being dug up by the patriots in govt was not being embargoed and instead being made available to John Q Public, Mueller would have had to stop long ago.

Even with Enemy Media covering for him though, the longer this continues, the more possibility of disaster for Mueller.

269 223 I've come to believe Mueller will indict or recommend indictment of Trump on obstruction. Can a SC indict a sitting President? I'm not sure it matters at this point of degradation of our justice system. This is all political. Mueller doesn't care if he has a case or not, this is necessary to save himself and fulfill his mission as hired assassin. The Left always doubles down. Always. They have lost all sense of consequence and really believe all that matters is the political war which they think they can win with sheer brute force.
Posted by: Dan Smoot's Apprentice at August 09, 2018 01:36 PM (H8QX

Mueller himself has said that DoJ guidance is that you can't indict a sitting president. He can certainly issue a report saying that there are crimes, perhaps impeachable ones, but can't actually indict.

"You know how sometimes the cover-up is worse than the crime? In this
case, the investigation was much worse than the no-crime," the former
NYC mayor said.

"I think it's going to lead to some very strict -- very big reforms,
just like Watergate," he said. "It's a different kind of Watergate. It's on the side of the investigator."

Serious question, because I don't know...

Did Huber move to DC? or is he still in Utah?

Seems he would need to be in DC to actually run the investigation on this stuff....

329 I thought this was funny. Occasional Fiasco says critics are overstating the cost of her free health care plan because they fail to subtract the costs of funerals that won't be necessary since her free health care will reduce deaths. Red Steeze says she's right!

Too late, public opinion is pretty much solidified at this point. Trump is at around 50% with no specific challenger mentioned, that is, he is at a pretty normal spot for a president at this point.

I always got a kick out of how you pull the cowl off a Merc outboard and there would be this bag with a rope starter in it.

I'm far, far, far, from any soyboy but damn, never ever could get one to start that way. I practiced at the dock. Always made sure my battery was top notch after that. Maybe it's possible for 5 to 25 hp. Over that?

359 252 SSCI behavior is indeed outside even the sad low standard pattern one has been trained to expect from the Senate GOP. Very peculiar.

I'm skeptical there is any blackmail going on, but the possibility of complicity is much more plausible.

We have the greatest intel scandal in history - by leaps and bounds the greatest one - and the SSCI sits there, virtually silent. In the past, when nothing at all happened - fake controversies - you could count on the SSCI sorts to be in front of cameras all the time.

368 Mueller himself has said that DoJ guidance is that
you can't indict a sitting president. He can certainly issue a report
saying that there are crimes, perhaps impeachable ones, but can't
actually indict.

370 Both sides are taking hostages. Eventually Bob and Rudy will go behind closed doors and start horse trading. Rudy will throw Manafort and Cohen under the bus in exchange for McCabe and Stzrok. Bob will offer DiFi for Don Jr.'s political future. And back and forth it will go. Frankly, right now, I think Trump has the better hand. Bob will need to strike closer to Trump to get the leverage necessary to get his deep state buddies off the hook.

There is undoubtedly some truth to that, in so far as the Dem base is riled up by hatred of Trump and have made elections all about him.
The GOP has not yet found a good way to motivate their own voters.

Special election in August or not, when the Dems can get out over 80% of their presidential-year voters and the GOPs can barely get 40, there's plenty to worry about.

We'll see.

376 > 368 Mueller himself has said that DoJ guidance is that

Prediction: Mueller will put out a report in October that says: "Dear Congress, gee whiz, technically I can't indict Trump for obstruction, but here's a whole bunch of arguments and circumstantial evidence and Tweets and shit so Congress should totally impeach Trump for obstruction." Now accepting wagers.

Posted by: Brewdog at August 09, 2018 03:06 PM (oNFAg)

377 Wouldn't it be great if this was a bridge too far for the Democrats? If in pushing to try and oust Trump they actually made themselves horribly vulnerable, so that only the most devoted cucks and Tru Believers still cling to their rose coloured ideal of the Democrats but for the vast majority of Americans, the truth came crashing down and made them horribly disillusioned? That all the soiled panties of graft and cheating and collusion were laid bare, undeniably? And that somehow the milquetoasts in the GOP were mostly swept aside and a new breed of awesome, liberty minded Republicans swept in, finished cleaning the swamp, and we were left with a lean, mean, American growth machine?

A girl can dream. =|
