Former Trump Communications Adviser Michael Caputo Complains of Being Run Into Bankruptcy By Senate Intelligence Committee Inquiry; Accuses Senators of Working With Fusion GPS

A former campaign communications adviser to Donald Trump blew up at Democratic U.S. Senate aides on Tuesday at the end of a behind-the-scenes grilling connected to their wide-ranging Russia investigation.
New York-based political consultant Michael Caputo said he has spent $125,000 on attorneys to help him navigate the committee's demands for documents and testimony, ruining his children's economic future and forcing him to sell his family home.
Calling the probe a 'witch hunt,' Caputo demanded to know who is funding a secretive effort to continue digging into unsubstantiated allegations that Trump has ties with the Kremlin.
'What America needs is an investigation of the investigators,' he said. 'I want to know: Who is paying for the spies’ work and coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump?'
'I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election. I want to know because God Damn you to Hell.'

Here's his opening testimony. It's a corker.

In 2009, my wife and I moved to my hometown of East Aurora, New York to have a family. Making far less money back home, we had a far better quality of life. That is, until the Trump-Russia narrative took off. Today, I can't possibly pay the attendant legal costs and live near my aging father, raising my kids where I grew up.
'Your investigation and others into the allegations of Trump campaign collusion with Russia are costing my family a great deal of money -- more than $125,000 -- and making a visceral impact on my children.
'Now I must to move back to Washington, New York City, Miami or elsewhere, just so I can make enough money to pay off these legal bills. And I know I have you to thank for that.
'Here's how I know: how many of you know Daniel Jones, former Senate Intelligence staffer for Senator Dianne Feinstein? Great guy, right? Most of you worked with him. One of you probably just talked to him this morning.
'Of course, very few of us in flyover country knew Daniel until recently. Now we know that he quit his job with your Senate committee not long ago to raise $50 million from ten rich Democrats to finance more work on the FusionGPS Russian dossier. The one the FBI used to get a FISA warrant and intimidate President Donald Trump, without anyone admitting -- until months after it was deployed -- that it was paid for by Hillary Clinton.
'In fact, good old Dan has been raising and spending millions to confirm the unconfirmable -- and, of course, to keep all his old intel colleagues up-to-speed on what FusionGPS and British and Russian spies have found. Got to keep that Russia story in the news.
'Of course Dan's in touch with you guys. We know from the news that he's been briefing Senator Mark Warner, vice chairman of this committee. Which one of you works for Senator Warner? Please give Danny my best.
'I saw some of his handiwork just last month. Remember this lede paragraph, from McClatchy on April 13?
'The Justice Department special counsel has evidence that Donald Trump's personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen, secretly made a late-summer trip to Prague during the 2016 presidential campaign, according to two sources familiar with the matter.'
'That's your pal Dan, isn't it? He came up with some kind of hollow proof that Michael Cohen was in Prague meeting with Russians when he wasn't. He tried to sell that to reporters, and they didn't buy it because it doesn’t check out. So, to get a reporter to write up his line of bull, he gave the documents to the Office of Special Counsel.
'We know that’s likely, because he's told people he's briefing investigators.
'So, technically, the special counsel's office has evidence. Your pal Dan gave them more of the Democrats' dossier, funded by more Democrats, provided again by Russian and British spies. Information no reporter would write up, but now there's an angle: the Special Counsel has it. Now it's a story.
'It's a clever but effective ruse. That's a story, just like when reporter Michael Isikoff of Yahoo News wrote this gem on September 16, 2016:
"...'U.S. officials have since received intelligence reports that during that same three-day trip, Page met with Igor Sechin, a longtime Putin associate … a well-placed Western intelligence source tells Yahoo News. That meeting, if confirmed, is viewed as especially problematic by U.S. officials..."
'Dozens of stories were written from the Isikoff piece, doing real damage to the Trump campaign. Of course, now we know Isikoff's reference to "intelligence reports" was just him renaming a dossier funded by Democrats and dug up by his longtime pal Glenn Simpson and some foreign spies. Once Simpson gave his Clinton campaign opposition research to the feds, it was news.
'This was especially true after Isikoff intentionally labeled the campaign materials as intelligence -- just like McClatchy called Dan's information "evidence."
'What America needs is an investigation of the investigators. I want to know who is paying for the spies' work and coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump? I want to know who Dan Jones is talking to across the investigations -- from the FBI, to the Southern District of New York, to the OSC, to the Department of Justice, to Congress.
'Forget about all the death threats against my family. I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election.
'I want to know because God Damn you to Hell.'

Sean Davis of The Federalist, who the NeverTrumpers despise because he reports true things that hurt their cause, reported that Dan Jones had left Feinstein's staff to act as Fusion GPS' coordinator/fundraiser a long while back. The House has now confirmed that.

$50 million -- as a friend points out, most CIA foreign-government-subversion ops don't have anywhere near that level of funding.

2. Rosenstein for letting meuller do whatever he's been doing for 2 years.

3. comey for pissgate memo showing (say, how can he rely on media reports when his knowledge predated it being in the media)

4. An open ended SC into all Clinton shit ever. starting with Uranium One and/or Fusion GPS-Steele and going back to ... oh I don't know Hillary's Bar Application.

Wouldn't Stormy demanding a payment on the eve of the election be criminal extortion and blackmail? She didn't start with $130k. That's what Cohen hondled her down to.

Trump may end up being a martyr in all this, but at this point what is there to lose. The left (and even certain Republicans) want him, his family, and allies destroyed. Might as well "hoist the black flag" strike a blow for the Republic. (Note: see the ace of spades blog header)

75 Remembering back, I think Clinton was in court to squash the subpoena from Starr, and it looked like he was going to be successful. But because it dragged into a presidential election, Clinton acquiesced, and sat down voluntarily.

91 JJ is right, actually a tiny number of Nazis and their partners who committed the worst crimes - who survived the war - were punished. Shockingly small numbers. One of the 178 reasons the impromptu executions of guards at Dachau upon liberation, with US Army connivance and/or participation, was a shining moment that should have been repeated 10,000-fold.

But whether that's an analogy to what we face today remains to be seen (the accountability part - not comparing the crimes, which would be sort of ludicrous).

But far from being explosive, as savvy commenter Ignoramus speculates, it's unclear if such things will have any impact.

Sundance at CT has long argued this and his case looks quite solid.

The Cohen-Prague thing fits perfectly with this scenario.

It's already come out in one of the OIG reports or the Nunes memo that the DoJ National Security group/FBI granted some third party organizations the ability to query the NSA db.

Can't recall if Fusion GPS and Crowdstrike were named, or if this was speculation/filling in the blanks based on other details.

166 A Story of Slavery in Modern America

Her name was Eudocia Tomas Pulido. We called her Lola. She was 4 foot 11, with mocha-brown skin and almond eyes that I can still see looking into mine-my first memory. She was 18 years old when my grandfather gave her to my mother as a gift, and when my family moved to the United States, we brought her with us. No other word but slave encompassed the life she lived. Her days began before everyone else woke and ended after we went to bed. She prepared three meals a day, cleaned the house, waited on my parents, and took care of my four siblings and me. My parents never paid her, and they scolded her constantly. She wasn't kept in leg irons, but she might as well have been. So many nights, on my way to the bathroom, I'd spot her sleeping in a corner, slumped against a mound of laundry, her fingers clutching a garment she was in the middle of folding.

184 Ignoramus - "used" ..... there's the broken link. There has long been barely anything like a press in the country, but it is much, much, much worse now than just 10 years ago. So there is hardly any way to "use" this story. It will not be widely reported.

The other key element in making such a scandal a scandal, leading to action and/or at least political repercussions, was an opposition party. An opposition party (in this case, the party of the WH but in opposition to the enormous criminal cabal mostly allied with the other party) can make hay, raise the profile of things, even take actions.

This is the scariest, most depressing part. The rule of law, the constitution, and intelligent thinking Americans who understand and care about those things are really on their own now. Yes Trump is on the right side of it all and not just because he's the target, I think. And contrary to what some here incessantly assert, there will be *some* consequences. But it seems doubtful those consequences will match the scope and gravity of the crimes and abuses. Mostly because a large portion of the "governing" party is useless, complicit, cowardly, clueless, or a combo of all.

Here in Commie-fornia pledge time is absolutely horrible (especially on the radio) because so many of the stations are public television (1 of every eight channels I receive on my digital antenna is some form of PBS and about half the radio stations are some form of NPR).

The GOP is complicit in all of this as they want Trump hemmed in and under a cloud.

They have enabled this farce at every step.

First of all, we can't even get into a if the tables were reversed situtation as this would never have gotten to this stage with a Democrat, they would literally burn the country down if a GOP administration had spied on and targeted a Donk candidate.

And even if in some alternate reality this was happening to a Donk President, the Democrat party would have circled the wagons, dispatched it's muscle to the streets and cities would be burning, the media would be at decon 1 literally hounding every GOP lawmaker, FBI/ DOJ, etc.

The GOP is a useless pile of dog shit.

And you simply cannot count on them for anything.

They are an iligitimate politcal party of thieves, fraudes, hucksters and self aggrandizing free agents and assholes.

See Marco Rubio and Trey Gowdy for examples.

265 Mostly because a large portion of the "governing" party is useless, complicit, cowardly, clueless, or a combo of all."

I've tried to get people to see that whenever complaints come out about, "Why isn't more being accomplished?" True patriots control only 40 votes, max, in the Senate, and maybe 1/3 of the House. And it's hard to keep finding ways to buy off the traitors all the time. The Republican party has got to be purged and taken apart before this can change, but it's very hard to do that without handing control to the left. And the Traitors like McCain and Corker are working overtime to help the Dems win the next election.

Two. It's been horribly tainted by how it's been dealt out in recent decades.

Three. It's far too early to defy Winston Wolfe's advice re you-know-what on this; when the third or fourth clean quarterly on-site inspection report from US (not IAEA) inspectors comes out from permanently deactivated Nork nukyler facilities, it will be time for (cautious) celebration.

Tom I think you might be optimistic, a little bit, on the count of useful GOP senators. But I haven't followed the individually enough to say. Though the lack of a revolt in the caucus against allowing the Dems to effectively rule by preventing regular order in appropriations I have taken as a proxy for "there are only a handful of real GOP senators".

As I said here last year and this, the intelligent responsible segment of the electorate is essentially trapped, with no apparent options. The Dems are vile, alien, and insane, the GOP is mostly useless and dishonorable. Trump is the black swan that was possible because presidential primaries are the only sustained high-profile primary that can escape the incumbent/lazy voter effect.

342 This situation cries out for a GoFundMe campaign - and, if one is set up, put the link here. I'd slip in a few bucks.
