Byron York: Now That the Clinton/DNC Connection to the FusionGPS Info Op is Established, The FBI Is the Next Cog in the Machine That Needs to be Confirmed
Update: Paul Ryan Adds His Weight to Subpeona

The information op is coming from inside the house.


And why did the story break when it did? Credit the much-maligned Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Nunes has been pursuing the dossier more aggressively than anyone else, and it was his October 4 subpoena for the bank records of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that handled the dossier, that finally shook loose the information.

But knowing that the Clinton campaign, the DNC, and Perkins Coie supported the dossier is not the end of the story. The most important next step is the FBI.

Sometime in October 2016 -- that is, at the height of the presidential campaign -- Christopher Steele, the foreign agent hired by Fusion GPS to compile the Trump dossier, approached the FBI with information he had gleaned during the project. According to a February report in the Washington Post, Steele "reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work."

It was an astonishing turn: the nation's top federal law enforcement agency agreeing to fund an ongoing opposition research project being conducted by one of the candidates in the midst of a presidential election. "The idea that the FBI and associates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for president in the run-up to the election raises further questions about the FBI's independence from politics, as well as the Obama administration's use of law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends," wrote Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley.

In the end, according to reports the FBI did not pay Steele.

I wouldn't say reports; I'd say "claims." See this Mollie Hemingway piece for shifting claims on whether or not the FBI paid Steele.

...

In recent months, Nunes has been trying to force the FBI to reveal just what it did in the dossier matter. The intel chairman issued a subpoena to the FBI on August 24, and in the time since, not a single document has been produced to the committee. The FBI, and the Justice Department, have spent most of that time talking about talking about possibly complying with this or that part of the subpoena. But so far -- nothing.

The same is true of Grassley's inquiries.

That may no longer be a viable position to take.

Jeff Sessions has recused himself from these matters, but if Ron Rosenstein does not order his underlings to respond to Congress' very reasonable questions, Trump should fire his fucking ass. For cause.

Update: The House subpeona to the FBI had been issued by the Judiciary Committee. But now Paul Ryan has put the whole weight of the House itself behind that subpeona, saying he stands behind it and slamming FBI "stonewalling."


Nunes subpoenaed the FBI for information on the dossier on Aug. 24. So far the bureau has not provided any information.

That is why Ryan's support is critical. For a House committee's subpoena to have maximum effect, it must have the power of the House of Representatives, in the person of the speaker of the House, behind it.

Which is what Ryan did Wednesday morning. "We've had these document requests with the administration, the FBI in particular, for a long time, and they've been stonewalling," Ryan said in an interview with Reuters. "The FBI and the Justice Department need to give Congress the documents it has been requesting, and they need to do so immediately."

Why Would the FBI Pay Steele? Sean Davis offers up this speculation -- it was part of an attempt to deceive the court as to the dossier's provenance, to make it an untainted "official FBI dossier" instead of a tainted rival candidate oppo dump dossier.

60 Sleepy Jeff has recused himself from Russia investigations, but he has not from internal corruption. If he deflects this investigation to Rosenstein that ignores the fact that Rosenstein may himself be implicated.

Sessions, and Sessions alone (in the Senate when these corrupt and treasonous acts allegedly occurred) can lead this investigation. Or get a new AG. AtC has volunteered, and she is willing (I'm told) to bring her own flamethrower to work.

I still think the major part of that report that is not getting enough play is the claim by Tucker's source that the target of Mueller's investigation is NOT Trump as has been reported endlessly by our completely honest media but Manafort and the Podesta brothers.

If that's true, and I guess we will need to wait to get further confirmation, it might explain a lot.

This was NOT the brother who was quoted on the news channels, its some other guy. As far as where they found him, it really is like a really bad script from same lame ass late night movie. Mentions of him popped up after they started to investigage Steve Paddocks connections, and where else would he be but living in an Assisted Living Facility in Hollywood, California, with Child Porn on the computer in his room.

So sad that LGF ended up as it did



However my son stayed with two lovely ladies I met on LGF when he had a holiday in the US because of my LGF friendship

And the son of one of these ladies stayed with me when he did 6 month law internship

So happy to see you!

As I said earlier, there is speculation that the FBI used the dossier to get their FISA warrant approved to wiretap members of the Trump campaign.

If you were the FBI would you rather go to the FISA court with a document prepared by a political party or one funded by the FBI?

And if they used this political document to get a wiretap, boy howdy are things going to get messy.

264 if the dossier was used to get the FISA order, and they knew it was fake BS ... then they deceived the court, doesn't matter who paid for it, does it? They acted as attack dogs on a candidate, and on Trump as POTUS elect, and continued after that.

267 As I said earlier, there is speculation that the FBI used the dossier to get their FISA warrant approved to wiretap members of the Trump campaign.

If you were the FBI would you rather go to the FISA court with a document prepared by a political party or one funded by the FBI?

And if they used this political document to get a wiretap, boy howdy are things going to get messy.

This was Obama carrying the ball for Hillary, with the collusion of Comey and Podesta. Now that it's melting down the Obama people will throw the Clinton people to the wolves and try to take down as many Republicans as possible along the way.

Folks, this crisis could be the gateway into something I'm obsessive about: regaining control of the bureaucracy, particularly in defense and intelligence. If this could be used to drastically alter personnel practices and then clean out the national security and law enforcement apparatus it would be a yuge national win and would justify Trump no matter what else happened.

Well, her team started the Russia rumors as soon as Trump got the nomination in July/August. They immediately focused on Manafort and claiming Manafort, as having done business with Russia*, was the liaison between Putin and Trump.

Honestly think Hillary and her team considered her win in the bag.
Probably never occurred to her that he could survive "pussygate" and everything else. By the time Comey re-opened the email investigation in late October it was too late....

--------------------------------
A "scandal" can only exist if most people are informed about the misdeeds and there is widespread moral outcry.

With Hillary, as with Obama, nothing reaches the level of scandal.

It was a scandal when Nixon discussed using the IRS against his political enemies, even if he rejected the idea. It was not a scandal when Obama actually did it.

It was a scandal when Charles Colson had six FBI files of political enemies on his desk. It was not a scandal when Hillary (oopsie!) "found" 600 such files in her boudoir.

Considering this further....Maybe getting the FISA warrant using Hillary's oppo research was the 11th insurance policy in the off-chance Hillary lost.

This happened around the same time Hillary's email investigation re-opened, and smacks of desperation. The FISA surveillance - and Obama's October maneuvering to ensure that all that intel could be unmasked and easily shared - has been used quite effectively undermine Trump since the day he was elected. The FISA surveillance was Plan B, implemented just in case Hillary lost.

Joule Unlimited was a green energy startup in Boston. A few years back, John Podesta was elected to the board and awarded 75,000 shares of founders stock.

Many of the big investors in the company were the same group of Kremlin linked Russians involved with Uranium One.

This got a little play during and after the election when at least Fox was asking Podesta about his links to Russia. He responded that he had no ties to Russia because he transferred the stock to his kids. Yeaaaa

Anyway, after Trump won, the company shut down. Just another in a long string of coincidences.

Is Anthony Weiner dead yet?

Cause without him and his pornocomputer (captured as a by product of getting his perv on) of classified information Hillary might have gotten elected. Maybe I am overstating the effect of that happening, but it forced the reopening of the Hilary scab and caused everyone to make a deep gasp right before the election.

As it turns out it was not an unwarranted deep gasp.

And it all speaks to the point that this shitshow was a far flung and loose controlled operation that was leaking like a sieve on the Titanic. I am not sure they could have contained it had SHE gotten elected.

We really dodge a big F-ing bullet. But like the monsters spawn that has gotten free unnoticed only to turn up in the sequel......does Iran have nuclear material that is sourced from HER nefarious deal?

Hoover took a very corrupt, very useless Federal Bureau of Investigation, and made it useful. He also made it a very personal loyalty organization. Up until a few years before he died, it was loyal to him and him alone. He should have made it loyal to the Constitution instead.

More supposed to be revealed tonight on Tucker's show as they needed time to 'verify' Podesta Group leakers claims.

Remember, Rogers visited with Trump in November right after the election and he is STILL the head of NSA. I predict that Sessions and Rosenstein have been talking about much of this - dossier, uranium deal, unmasking for a long long time. Well before either were appointed for anything at DOJ.

So Comey could hide the Clinton connection from the FISA court and tell the court it was an FBI sourced document. Otherwise, the court might say "you want to spy on the opposing campaign based on a political opp doc?" Denied. (IIRC, they were denied once before going back as well)
