Mueller Spent $732,000 on Outside "Contractors," But Won't Say <i>Who.</i> You Could Almost Say That Mueller is Hiding This Information From Congress.

Mueller Spent $732,000 on Outside "Contractors," But Won't Say Who. You Could Almost Say That Mueller is Hiding This Information From Congress.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent more than $732,000 on outside contractors, including private investigators and researchers, records show, but his office refuses to say who they were. While it's not unusual for special government offices to outsource for services such as computer support, Mueller also hired contractors to compile "investigative reports" and other "information."
The arrangement has led congressional investigators, government watchdog groups and others to speculate that the private investigators and researchers who worked for the special counsel's office might have included Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS, the private research firm that hired Steele to produce the Russia collusion dossier for the Clinton campaign.
They suspect the dossier creators may have been involved in Mueller's operation -- and even had a hand in his final report -- because the special counsel sent his team to London to meet with Steele within a few months of taking over the Russia collusion investigation in 2017. Also, Mueller's lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, had shared information he received from Fusion with the media.
Raising additional suspicions, Mueller's report recycles the general allegations leveled in the dossier. And taking a page from earlier surveillance-warrant applications in the Russia investigation, it cites as supporting evidence several articles -- including one by Yahoo! News -- that used Steele and Fusion as sources.
Mueller even kept alive one of the dossier's most obscene accusations -- that Moscow had "compromising tapes" of Trump with Russian hookers -- by slipping into a footnote an October 2016 text Trump lawyer Michael Cohen received from a "Russian businessman," who cryptically intimated, "Stopped flow of tapes from Russia." Lawyers for the businessman, Giorgi Rtskhiladze (who is actually a Georgian-American), are demanding a retraction of the footnote, arguing Mueller omitted the part of his text where he said he did not believe the rumor about the tapes, for which no evidence has ever surfaced.
..
U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said the report should be renamed "The Mueller Dossier," because he says it contains a lot of similar innuendo. Even though Mueller failed to corroborate key allegations leveled in the dossier, Nunes said his report twists key facts to put a collusion gloss on events. He also asserted that it selectively quotes from Trump campaign emails and omits exculpatory information in ways that cast the campaign's activities in the most sinister light.

For example, the Mueller report says that Carter Page met with Russian officials he knew to be Russia officials.

Court records say the opposite.

Mueller also left out of his report a detail RealClearInvestigations has previously reported: that Page was a cooperating witness in the case in question, helping the FBI eventually put a Russian agent behind bars in 2016. Nor did Mueller see fit to include in his report another exculpatory detail revealed in agent Gregory Mohaghan's complaint and reported earlier by RCI -- namely, that the Russians privately referred to Page as "an idiot" who was unworthy of recruitment.
Excluding such details is curious, given that the Mueller report quotes from the same FBI complaint and cites it in its footnotes.

Here's another example, from Devon Nunes. The Mueller report noted that Josef Misfud -- whose contacts with George Papadopolous were pretended to be suspicious -- had Russian connections. They cited news reports for this claim.

Yet the report fails to quote those same news reports which said that Josef Misfud had Western intelligence connections, and taught at Link University, where the FBI itself taught classes, and which itself was connected to Western intelligence services.

Curious, this cherry-picking, eh?

Or did they just stop reading after the headline? Will that be their claim?

Careful, boys: lying to Congress is a crime.

Back to Sperry:

Special counsel spokesman Peter Carr declined comment when asked specifically if Mueller's team hired or collaborated with Fusion GPS or any of its subcontractors. Mueller took over the FBI's Russia probe in May 2017, whereupon he hired many of the agents who handled Steele and pored over his dossier.

Here's another curious omission: Why does the Mueller report fail to mention Steele or his dossier at all?

[N]either Steele nor his dossier is mentioned by name anywhere in the first half of the report dealing with collusion, though their allegations are hashed out.

It's almost as if they're protecting a source and colleague from negative publicity.

Simpson did not return calls and emails seeking comment.

Read the whole thing.

Meanwhile, John Solomon reports more on the report on Steele and his ludicrous allegations filed by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec on October 11, 2016.

Her observations were recorded exactly 10 days before the FBI used Steele and his infamous dossier to justify securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page and the campaign's contacts with Russia in search of a now debunked collusion theory.
It is important to note that the FBI swore on Oct. 21, 2016, to the FISA judges that Steele's "reporting has been corroborated and used in criminal proceedings" and the FBI has determined him to be "reliable" and was "unaware of any derogatory information pertaining" to their informant, who simultaneously worked for Fusion GPS, the firm paid by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Clinton campaign to find Russian dirt on Trump.
That's a pretty remarkable declaration in Footnote 5 on Page 15 of the FISA application, since Kavalec apparently needed just a single encounter with Steele at State to find one of his key claims about Trump-Russia collusion was blatantly false.
...
She quoted Steele as saying, "Payments to those recruited are made out of the Russian Consulate in Miami," according to a copy of her summary memo obtained under open records litigation by the conservative group Citizens United. Kavalec bluntly debunked that assertion in a bracketed comment: "It is important to note that there is no Russian consulate in Miami."

And yet the FBI represented Steele as completely reliable and claimed, in a filing to the court they were swearing to be accurate in all particulars, that they had no reason to doubt the veracity of his claims.

Is the FBI claiming they didn't know of her report?

Kavalec, two days later and well before the FISA warrant was issued, forwarded her typed summary to other government officials. The State Department has redacted the names and agencies of everyone she alerted.
But it is almost certain the FBI knew of Steele's contact with State and his partisan motive. That's because former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland says she instructed her staff to send the information they got from Steele to the bureau immediately and to cease contact with the informer because "this is about U.S. politics, and not the work of -- not the business of the State Department, and certainly not the business of a career employee who is subject to the hosta Act."

In other words, this is not bona-fide "intelligence," this is a partisan operation that government employees are forbidden by law from indulging in, because the hosta Act forbids partisan activities in the guise of government work.

And the FBI lied.

And a lot of people have been prosecuted in this case for lying, or allegedly lying.

Open an investigation in McCabe, Yates, Comey, and Lynch.

Let's see how many process crimes we can convict them of.

Mueller's report was a joke from the very start. It states, as fact, that Russians hacked the DNC, phished Podesta (as only a government entity could pull off such a complicated process) and affected the election with $100,000 of FarceBook ads. AS FACT.

I was laughing before I even finished the first page.

47 At the heart of this is the Steele Dossier from Fusion GPS.

That was used to get the FISA court to approve spying on Trump.

I want to get to the bottom of this dossier:
1) who wrote it?
2) who paid for it?
3) who put it in the hands of the FBI and insisted it was true.
4) who at the FBI authorized this to go to the FISA judge and get permission to spy on the Trump campaign?

At the bottom of this stinking pile of sh*t is Brennan and Clapper, who likely dreamed this whole thing up, and proposed it to Obama, who back-channeled it to the Clinton campaign.
We know that Fusion GPS was paid through a law firm, a DNC cut out. But it has to come out through an investigation, and a grand jury needs to convene on this and people need to be indicted.

The problem was not the FISA court or mission, it was the traitors and lowlifes who filled the positions. They should be jailed, post-haste. ANd that includes the dipshit FISA judges.

The fact is that every arm of Executive power was weaponized against AMerica under Barky and his junta. And that happened because there was a dearth of any courageous, patriotic people in positions of power. None, basically. Which is also the reason why Barky was even allowed to continue running after that illegal campaign rally for foreigners in a foreign land and why his eligibility was never formally established, which would have saved this country the whole mess of his anit-AMerican reign of destruction and retardation.

73 I want to get to the bottom of this dossier:
1) who wrote it?
Sydney Blumenthall
2) who paid for it?
Hillary, through her campaign manager, John Podesta
3) who put it in the hands of the FBI and insisted it was true.
John McCain, among others.
4) who at the FBI authorized this to go to the FISA judge and get permission to spy on the Trump campaign?
James Comey and Andrew McCabe.

An investigation has to put together evidence and testimony in front of a Grand Jury, and people need to go to trial over this BS.

I would particularly like to see Syd Blumenthal put away in prison for the rest of his natural life.

There has been at least one grand jury open since last fall hearing evidence on Andrew McCabe and potentially others.

Mueller is done. The pace at which stuff is dropping is accelerating rapidly. Rep Doug Collins announced last night that he is going to start releasing the remaining closed door testimony of 53 witnesses on his website within the next couple weeks.

Here's the list of the 53 witnesses:

Horowitz actually is coming and obviously he isn't alone since he can't call a grand jury, only a prosecutor can do that. And I absolutely believe Barr will do the investigations he claims he's already started.

As I always do, I will note how obviously absurd, farcical, amateurish, clumsy, and transparent this skullduggery was.

Notes from ICIG meeting regarding, um ..... THE BIGGEST SECURITY BREACH IN STATE DEPARTMENT OR US HISTORY, A DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE MASSIVE, OBVIOUS, SYSTEMATIC ESPIONAGE ACT VIOLATIONS BY THE CLINTON GANG ..... are "lost". Not only that, but public statements, so far, by participants and those in the know are very ho-hum about the whole topic.

Patience, gears grind slowly, etc etc - but there's a problem. As the House Democrats are demonstrating (hell, the Senate Republicans, in their restraint and infrequent jaw-boning on the issue), we're not in Kansas any more, one entire party and parts of another are perfectly blase about America's most powerful security institutions being reduced to Third World integrity and politicization levels. This historic unprecedented crime wave gets dealt with, harshly, fairly soon - or it likely passes without consequences for many of the perps.

Go back to the email scandal where it was discovered Hillary was sharing highly classified docs for which she was not read in. Sid Blumenthal, via aol mail, was sharing one report that had only been presented less than 24 hours earlier.

-- Hillary has people in IC who were feeding her this intel,committing espionage
-- These same people helped vamoose all evidence of this as part of the email abuse "investigation"

I often here people say "How could a just God allow..." to explain why they don't want to believe in goodness, which resides solely with God.

Every time I hear someone say "Nothing ever happens" I try to remember when anything remotely like this has ever happened before and the answer is never. And then I remember who is president.

Two dozen senior people at the FBI and DOJ, the very ones we have been talking about, have been fired or forced to resign since this started because of their involvement in this scandal. An IG investigation which many said wasn't happening is happening. And there are prosecutors and a grand jury(s) working.

At least half this country is pissed off and feels like they have no representation and government doesn't work for us. I don't think this is lost on a president who preaches this everyday nor do I think he has forgotten what they did to him, his family and supporters.

And he's Donald fucking Trump. He lives for revenge.

157 It looks like what everyone thought - the Obama Admin, the FBI, the CIA and the DNC collaborated to start this intelligence investigation against the Trump campaign - probably others that we don't yet know about- to rig an election. This is why the Democrat Leadership has to dirty Barr and stat! It's going to all come tumbling out - and Pelosi will be left with a rump party in the end - distrusted and hated by normal Americans

When my lovely wife was Director of Special Education for a monstrous suburban district, she had a visiting Chinese teacher for a time on staff. The woman insisted that there were no special needs children in schools in China.

My wife eventually got POd and told her, "No, because you either abort them, leave them in the woods to die, or banish them to the barn to care for the pigs and ducks!"

All of which is true.

177 the only (best?) way normies will get a clue as to how bad this is, is to put it in a well done movie format. I'm thinkin maybe a "He Said, She Said" format, but that doesn't quite work.

There are two sides, but it is not just "well some say Hillary was guilty, some say Trump was ... it is all just politics." That is how they are trying to frame all this ... and was the intent is trying to push Hillary's Uranium One problem onto Trump by completely fabricating TrumpRussia, and all of a sudden Hillary was ready for War with Russia. (her reset button butt buddies)

NOPE. Hillary and DeepState are demonic anti-American mafia ... the opposite side is Truth and Liberty ... they ran a coup, to cover up for their mob activities, and tried to frame an innocent man (POTUS no less) to keep their permanent state mafia powers.

All this continuing attack of subpoenas on Barr or Don Jr is to cover up the overthrow of America by DeepState and the commie Dems, with the MFM fully complicit, if not in the lead.

So MAYBE Barr will act, but also maybe he will have White Hats inside protecting evidence against the black hats. Some would say they have been doing this for years, but that is getting into Q-anon type hopeful theory. But the Solomon story rings true.

221 Probably no need to angle for underlying process crimes since there is more than probable cause now to charge Comey, Yates, McCabe, Brennan, et al with substantive crimes now. If that cannot be done, eliminate the inferior federal courts, level those buildings along wth the J. Edgar Hoover/Lubyanka West Office, and sow the ground with salt.

In the meantime, get on federal juries and nullify government cases.

Enough sand in the gears can eliminate the need for salt.

Comfort yourself with the thought that such a person was never a true "friend", they just found you useful when they were bored, or whatever.

A true friend would never have cast you off for an ideological "crime". Which is basically, just their own pride.

238 I remember the article where the daughter stopped talking to the Mom, kept the Grandkids from her and accused her of Racism, she was adopted from Korea. The Mom just couldn't vote for Hillary because of abortion.

241 I think Fen is right.

Someone around here last night said something about generosity, that they tried to generous because it's who they should be. They noted that if someone scammed their generosity, that it was on the scammer to deal with, but that they had to keep on being generous because that's who they are.

I think you just gotta keep on doing right. It's for those that reject your olive branch to deal with their issues, but you still gotta keep being you.

242 They will skate in the legal sense. At the very least, both of them need to have their names dragged through the mud and figuratively stricken from every book for their heinous misdeeds. The mere mention of their names needs to bring immense scorn for what they've done. But even that is not likely, given half the country is insane.

Etiquette? What sort of "etiquette"? Shave the back of your neck for easy access?

245 Liberals and lefties think politics is life, the rest of us just live life.

This seems to be the case. Our house was never political, but our children were intelligent and we discussed political events and historical events. They were educated in Catholic school, which may be the problem, but our daughters managed to be able to think for themselves. Our son married into a liberal family and that seems to be the difference between boys and girls. He molded himself into a different person to fit into her family. He called us racists until our black son in law set him straight. Now we're all brain dead Trumpists.

I may be a minority of one, but I can't see getting so worked up about politics that ties to friends and family are severed. I have political opinions but don't discuss them with my sibs or even, usually, Her Majesty. And, if someone starts in with you, it's perfectly within your rights to say you'd prefer not to discuss it.

255 I'm confused. Mueller put together a so-called "dream team" of the best and brightest for this sort of investigation --- and he outsources part of his report to contractors??? Posted by: Lizzy

Mueller didn't hire them; they hired him. This was the same FBI/DOJ team that was trying to frame President Trump before Mueller came back.

Maybe he hired Fusion so they couldn't be questioned. Or maybe the money really went to payoffs.

256 demorats demanded the right of Obama to keep things secret, same with slick willy, and they issue no demands of Muellers jihad on going after President Trump.
Notice how they demand President is not entitled to privacy of secrey, regardless of being more entitled or privileged than the aforementioned ?
How the HYPOCRITES demand full disclosure of their opponents, and none for demorats own felony acts/behaviors.
How the wicked love inequity and injustice as long as it favors them.

257 I'm sure all that money went to pay off the "anonymous" sources that seemed to be entangled in everything. Does Mueller have an off shore bank account?
