Report: Fusion GPS, Which Injected the Infamous "Pee Party" Dossier Into the #FakeNews Bloodstream, Is, Get This, Stonewalling Senate Investigators About Its Connections to the Democrat Party and the FBI

Does Adam Schiff demand "all the answers" to these questions too?

The D.C. firm that commissioned the Russia intelligence dossier smearing President Donald Trump is refusing to answer questions and provide records to the Senate panel investigating its connections to the Democratic Party, according to the New York Post's Paul Sperry. The so-called "dodgy dossier" helped spark the Russia scandal that has been bedeviling Trump since the election. Astonishingly, the FBI became involved with the dossier last summer, even though it knew the salacious report lacked credibility -- and now it is also stonewalling the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Fusion GPS calls itself a “research and strategic intelligence firm” but is well known in Washington to be an opposition-research group for Democrats. According to Sperry, the firm's founders are "more political activists than journalists" and have "a pro-Hillary, anti-Trump agenda."

A source I know with experience in intelligence operations told me, flatly, that this whole matter was "an op" -- a covert intelligence operation against Trump, cooked up by spooks opposed to him -- from start to finish.

I don't think their goal was to favor one candidate over the other at all. It was all about creating chaos in our electoral process. They tried to hack Trump and the RNC. that came out a long time ago, they just weren't successful because apparently neither group employed dumbasses.

On the first day of the Senate hearings into this whole Russian kerfuffle, they had two experts testify about Russian trying to screw with our elections. These guys seemed pretty legit and non-partisan and they said that this was absolutely nothing new. The Russians have been trying muck up our elections since the end of WWII. Other western powers two.

Their goal has been to pick a winner. Their goal has been to discredit democracy.

107 London is awash with these sleazy 'dirt' dossier types. Litvinenko, the polonium 237 victim, was really a victim of his own cocksure hubris and Putin's hatchet men. This is the sort of work moonlighting FSB/KGB men do. Litvinenko dealt in exactly this sort of trade, and he got whacked for it.

Book; "the terminal spy" kinda hits upon this notion of dirt-for-sale as narrative sidebar padding since the Litvinenko thing really only fills about 20 pages of the book.

108 I carry no brief for Don Rumsfeld, but it may be remembered that back during the Dubya Bush administration, he was constantly accused of trying to create a parallel national intelligence structure within DoD's bailiwick and under his personal control.

This was darkly rumored by the conspiracy-theory left as a prelude to "Bu$hitler and KKKcheney's coup d'etat".

Whereas what was most likely going on was Rumsfeld realizing that the existing intel agencies were rotten to the core and unfit for purpose, especially in the context of wartime intelligence, and his needing a trusted second source just to be able to do his job.

And that was before eight years of Obama deliberately seeding those same agencies with moles, Muslims, malcontents and malingerers.

So you could call on one, to police the others.

Its why the Marines had Ground Divisions...

Its why we had Federal Marshalls, and eventually an FBI... along with ATF and Secret service... all under different leaders.... different departments.

Its why the Defense Intelligence Agencies were different than that CIA... or NSA... or FBI Counter Espionage... so we could call them to watch each other (to an extent)...

Now, they are all under one... DHS and the Nat Security Advisor...

Who do we call to Police them now? They are all part of the same power structure....

168 "Bill Casey dreamed of something similar that bypassed the current structure at CIA."

Rummy just seemed to want a less politicized, more analytically reliable intelligence product.

Whereas Casey? Appears to have hankered to be Wild Bill Donovan 2.0. Down to the level of quietly resurrecting the old-time, old-school OSS wet-work and black-bag jobs that the Church Committee had previously told Langley they couldn't be doing any more of.

A case could be made that the late-stage Cold War demanded no less than going back to bare-knuckle OSS-era thinking and operating. Except Casey didn't publicly make that case to the rest of D.C. He just started creating the structure to implement the idea.

He says that when you are rich, "women let you grab them by the pussy."

The Founder's set up a system where we were supposed to have competing centers of power...

So you could call on one, to police the others.

Its why the Marines had Ground Divisions...

Its why we had Federal Marshalls, and eventually an FBI... along with ATF and Secret service... all under different leaders.... different departments.

Its why the Defense Intelligence Agencies were different than that CIA... or NSA... or FBI Counter Espionage... so we could call them to watch each other (to an extent)...

Now, they are all under one... DHS and the Nat Security Advisor...

Who do we call to Police them now? They are all part of the same power structure....

Hopefully Trump can do something similar.

231 This could be really big and break against Obama and Hillary in a bad way.

Do you suppose there's anyone on the Cocktail Circuit thinking, "Hey, wait...we don't have to do this. We could be in charge. WE could issue the invites!"

233 'CNN confirms that Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris have resigned'

Next stop, MSNBC, the end of the leftist journalist transit line.

234 It is simply amazing how Trump has bamboozled a leftist media cabal constructed over decades by simply using contemporary social media to go over their heads and taking away their ambush visuals, the oxygen on which these jackals subsist.

It is f*cking hilarious.

236 I belive that if Trump had lost, he would have been hit with all these lies and harassment anyway. Revenge and an example to others. And he would have had few protections or options for fighting back.

And Ace, and similar bloggers. would be dealing with restrictive new internet rules such as absolute personal responsibility for anything posted in the cooments, and new broad legal definitions of 'hate speech.'

Remember the John Doe midnight police raids in Wisconsin? I'm convinced that something like that would be happening nationwide.

237 35 It's almost like the FBI was a Democrat Party organization...

How do FBI personnel tenure and turnover stats for the last (say) 8 years compare to historical norms? Bet they tell a story.

If I was Trump, I would be recruiting myself a new Secret Service Director, and said Director would be recruiting a whole new team, with many more investigative resources. He needs to be looking to find the few good apples, if any, in the barrels full of rotten ones. Recovery of the trustworthiness of the DOJ and FBI is going to be a tough proposition - a Hillary presidency would have put it permanently out of reach.

238 A source I know with experience in intelligence operations told me,
flatly, that this whole matter was "an op" -- a covert intelligence
operation against Trump, cooked up by spooks opposed to him -- from
start to finish.

Sorry, Ace, here's the real story: Just honest journalists making an honest living after losing their jobs according to Insty's latest establishment substitute linker...

IT'S REALLY NOT THAT UNCOMMON: The New York Post is reporting that a Washington research firm of former journalists were behind the salacious Russian/Trump dossier:
[excerpt here]

The fact is that that firms creating opposition research are often staffed with former journalists, who use their connections in the editorial world to redistribute this sort of thing. (Naturally, there are "right-leaning" as well as "left-leaning" firms of this sort.) Work in a newsroom long enough and you'll begin to recognize "oppo" when you see it. Sadly, a number of journalists who were laid off by big news outfits and can't find work elsewhere have resorted to doing this kind of work. As news organizations cut back on reporting, it's easier than ever to get "oppo" published as news without sufficient fact-checking. What's the opposite of a virtuous circle?
