Sketchy firm behind Trump dossier is stalling investigators


This is the group that hired the British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. He invented the Moscow hotel "pee party" and that DNC hackers were hired by Trump.

“These weren’t mercenaries or hired guns,” a congressional source familiar with the dossier probe said. “These guys had a vested personal and ideological interest in smearing Trump and boosting Hillary’s chances of winning the White House.”

The Senate Judiciary Committee is also investigating whether the FBI has wrongly relied on the anti-Trump dossier and its author, Christopher Steele — the old spy who was hired by Fusion GPS to build a Russia file on Trump — to aid its ongoing espionage investigation into the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Moscow.

The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August, during the heat of the campaign, and is said to have contracted in October to pay Steele $50,000 to help corroborate the dirt on Trump — a relationship that “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the bureau in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Senate investigators are demanding to see records of communications between Fusion GPS and the FBI and the Justice Department, including any contacts with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, now under congressional investigation for possibly obstructing the Hillary Clinton email probe, and deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, who is under investigation by the Senate and the Justice inspector general for failing to recuse himself despite financial and political connections to the Clinton campaign through his Democrat activist wife. Senate investigators have singled out McCabe as the FBI official who negotiated with Steele.

Like Fusion GPS, the FBI has failed to cooperate with congressional investigators seeking documents.

Look, the lefty trolls cannot find any errors in the story so they attack the source! Why don't you just phone your senator to confirm it?

It seems that Trump Jr and Kushner met with a Russian lawyer a year ago. Looks bad? Turns out the meeting was a "set up" by Fusion GPS!

Time to stop the Trump-Russia investigation and start up the DNC/Podesta-Russia investigation!

The president’s legal team said Saturday they believe the entire meeting may have been part of a larger election-year opposition effort aimed at creating the appearance of improper connections between Trump family members and Russia that also included a now-discredited intelligence dossier produced by a former British intelligence agent named Christopher Steele who worked for a U.S. political firm known as Fusion GPS.

“We have learned from both our own investigation and public reports that the participants in the meeting misrepresented who they were and who they worked for,” said Mark Corallo, a spokesman for President Trump’s legal team. “Specifically, we have learned that the person who sought the meeting is associated with Fusion GPS, a firm which according to public reports, was retained by Democratic operatives to develop opposition research on the President and which commissioned the phony Steele dossier. "

"These developments raise serious issues as to exactly who authorized and participated in any effort by Russian nationals to influence our election in any manner,” Corallo said.

We now know Fusion GPS is a smear machine hired by criminals. I hope the FBI is investigating them and will soon seize their computers and bank/phone records. Can't wait to find out what "liberal" scumbag paid them to smear Trump.

Human Rights Activist: Fusion GPS Sells Itself to the Highest Bidder to Conduct Smear Campaigns https://pjmedia.com/video/human-rights-activist-fusion-gps-sells-itself-to-the-highest-bidder-to-conduct-smear-campaigns/

Halvorssen submitted statements to the Judiciary Committee for the record Wednesday in regards to his experience with Fusion GPS.

"In my particular case, it was whistleblowing against a group of criminal Venezuelans operating a company called Derwick Associates that sold twelve faulty electric plants in Venezuela," the activist continued. "They had no experience before, they had nothing to do with the sector and yet they got $3 billion worth of business in Venezuela of which they skimmed around $2 billion. And then they hired Fusion GPS to go after those of us who were opposing them and blowing the whistle on them."

"Very personal," answered Halvorssen. "Imagine waking up one day and seeing a headline in a fringe website that says that I'm a neocon scam artist and then you read the actual article and it says that I -- there in some Facebook posts and Twitter posts that they put out -- it says falsely says that I sleep with children, it says that I'm a heroin addict, it says that I've been to rehab, it says that I'm an embezzler..."

Good news all week, but the Lying MSM ignores it as usual. Browder’s full exchange with Graham in article.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/07/27/senate-witness-william-browder-testifies-that-fusion-gps-worked-for-russia/

William Browder, a U.S.-born investor who championed a U.S. sanctions law against Russia, testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that Fusion GPS, the firm that created the Trump dossier, had also worked for Russia.
Browder said under oath that Fusion GPS was being paid indirectly by Russia to lobby against his efforts to pass the 2012 Magnitsky Act.

“What I’m saying with 100% certainty is that they were working to undermine the Magnitsky Act and the timing of that,” he said.

Fusion GPS is the same firm that produced a salacious and discredited dossier on Trump, which the FBI reportedly used to open an investigation on his campaign.

Browder said Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya had hired Fusion GPS through a lobbying firm to lobby against Browder and the Magnitsky Act, and that the firm called journalists to spread lies about him and his former lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, who had died under Russian custody.

Veselnitskaya would later request a meeting through a former client with Donald Trump Jr. in June 2016, to discuss the Magnitsky Act.
