Trump Slams "Crooked Hillary Pile Of Garbage"-Funded "Bogus" Dossier

Tyler Durden's picture

Having taken a shot at The FBI on Christmas Eve Eve...

President Trump took to Twitter early on this Boxing Day with a very direct shot across the bow of all his DC-swamp adversaries...

As a reminder, we know three things for sure:

(1) The Steele dossier was a Clinton campaign product. If it was used by the FBI and the Obama Justice Department to obtain a FISA warrant, that would mean law-enforcement agencies controlled by a Democratic president fed the FISA court political campaign material produced by the Democratic candidate whom the president had endorsed to succeed him. Partisan claims of egregious scheming with an adversarial foreign power would have been presented to the court with the FBI’s imprimatur, as if they were drawn from refined U.S. intelligence reporting. The objective would have been to spy on the opposition Republican campaign.

 

(2) In June of this year, former FBI director James Comey testified that the dossier was “salacious and unverified.” While still director, Comey had described the dossier the same way when he briefed President-elect Trump on it in January 2017. If the dossier was still unverified as late as mid 2017, its allegations could not possibly have been verified months earlier, in the late summer or early autumn of 2016, when it appears that the FBI and DOJ used them in an application to the FISA court.

 

(3) The dossier appears to contain misinformation. Knowing he was a spy-for-hire trusted by Americans, Steele’s Russian-regime sources had reason to believe that misinformation could be passed into the stream of U.S. intelligence and that it would be acted on — and leaked — as if it were true, to America’s detriment. This would sow discord in our political system. If the FBI and DOJ relied on the dossier, it likely means they were played by the Putin regime.

Manifestly, the DOJ and FBI were favorably disposed toward Steele and Fusion GPS. I suspect that these good, productive prior relationships with the dossier’s source led the investigators to be less exacting about corroborating the dossier’s claims.

But that is just the beginning of the bias story.

At a high level, the DOJ and FBI were in the tank for Hillary Clinton. In July 2016, shortly before Steele’s reports started floating in, the FBI and DOJ announced that no charges would be brought against Mrs. Clinton despite damning evidence that she mishandled classified information, destroyed government files, obstructed congressional investigations, and lied to investigators. The irregularities in the Clinton-emails investigation are legion: President Obama making it clear in public statements that he did not want Clinton charged; the FBI, shortly afterwards, drafting an exoneration of Clinton months before the investigation ended and central witnesses, including Clinton herself, were interviewed; investigators failing to use the grand jury to compel the production of key evidence; the DOJ restricting FBI agents in their lines of inquiry and examination of evidence; the granting of immunity to suspects who in any other case would be pressured to plead guilty and cooperate against more-culpable suspects; the distorting of criminal statutes to avoid applying them to Clinton; the sulfurous tarmac meeting between Attorney General Lynch and former President Clinton shortly before Mrs. Clinton was given a peremptory interview — right before then–FBI director Comey announced that she would not be charged.

The blatant preference for Clinton over Trump smacked of politics and self-interest. Deputy FBI director McCabe’s wife had run for the Virginia state legislature as a Democrat, and her (unsuccessful) campaign was lavishly funded by groups tied to Clinton insider Terry McAuliffe. Agent Strzok told FBI lawyer Page that Trump was an “idiot” and that “Hillary should win 100 million to 0.” Page agreed that Trump was “a loathsome human.” A Clinton win would likely mean Lynch — originally raised to prominence when President Bill Clinton appointed her to a coveted U.S. attorney slot — would remain attorney general. Yates would be waiting in the wings.

The prior relationships of trust with the source; the investment in Clinton; the certitude that Clinton would win and deserved to win, signified by the mulish determination that she not be charged in the emails investigation; the sheer contempt for Trump. This concatenation led the FBI and DOJ to believe Steele — to want to believe his melodramatic account of Trump-Russia corruption. For the faithful, it was a story too good to check.

The DOJ and FBI, having dropped a criminal investigation that undeniably established Hillary Clinton’s national-security recklessness, managed simultaneously to convince themselves that Donald Trump was too much of a national-security risk to be president.

*  *  *

As we previously concluded, while there is a dearth of evidence to date that the Trump campaign colluded in Russia’s cyberespionage attack on the 2016 election, there is abundant evidence that the Obama administration colluded with the Clinton campaign to use the Steele dossier as a vehicle for court-authorized monitoring of the Trump campaign — and to fuel a pre-election media narrative that U.S. intelligence agencies believed Trump was scheming with Russia to lift sanctions if he were elected president. Congress should continue pressing for answers, and President Trump should order the Justice Department and FBI to cooperate rather than — what’s the word? — resist.

C'mon Don, tell it like it is.... it's a pile of shit and everyone knows it!

No need to sanitize it by inserting "garbage"

LOCK HER UP!

TrajanOptimus's picture

Clinton needs to go to jail in order to restore faith in our governments rule of law.

 

If she, and all the other Obama cronies walk, it proves to the American people that corruption rules Washington and we are living in a tyranical state.

 

All bets will be off and we shall only be subject to laws politicians are subject to.

 

Which is NONE of them.

Either a major "Drain the Swamp" continues ...or the Swamp assasinates/Coup d'etat Trump.

And it will all occur very quickly

So Hillary, could I ask you to remove your medical boot and prove to the internet-world once & for all that you are not wearing a GPS tracker on your ankle? 

TIA ;-)

Cankle Cuffs for Hillary! Lock her up!

It's time to grab the pitchforks and torches!!

green arrow, sir

but the fact of the matter is, is that she ALREADY did walk. she should have been arrested for the server/classified emails. FACT.

that said, i am still holding out hope that she will eventually fry.

bigkahuna's picture

shill and many others have indeed been walking - and walking free  --  but none of them have been found innocent of any crime, there have been no trials

edit: heck even with an over abundance of very incriminating evidence - no charges!!  -- it had better get right, the rest of us would have been in the slammer long ago.

the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails)

For POTUS to say that anything a fedgov official has done is illegal must mean that the indictment is already in the wings.

"Clinton needs to go to jail in order to restore faith in our governments rule of law"

You're absolutely correct.. See, what we have here, if all of these people just walk, some even with a golden parachute, what we are going to have is much worse than any so called Constitutional Crisis, we will have a crisis of confidence in the concept of Justice altogether, in the trenches and in the general population, which is a lot worse. We are pretty much there already.

MagicHandPuppet's picture

Lock her up!  And do the same for ALL of the TREASONOUS CONSPIRATORS.

Without justice for these Clintonista vermin, it's just a lawless goobermint and a lawless land that will crumble like the last days of the Roman empire.

My response: I AGREE COMPLETELY. Yes indeed, the CLINTON CRIME SYNDICATE and all of its UNGODLY WORKS are a PILE of "SATANIC" GARBAGE.

She needs to be REMOVED from the PUBLIC SQUARE and LOCKED UP for LIFE.

The TRULY SAD FACT IN AMERICA is that there are MILLIONS of "SO CALLED AMERICANS" who would VOTE for this LADY again if given that choice including the PERVERTS in the ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.

And GOD said ...

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

DingleBarryObummer's picture

Yea, "strong delusion," not a weak delusion.  The real strong delusion is that Trump and Hillary both work for Lord Rothschild.

Wilbur Ross bailed out Trump on taj mahal in 91, worked for Rothschild for 24 years, and is now the commerce secretary.  It's not rocket science; it's Kabuki Theater.

P.S. Trump was involved in the entertainment industry, and what he produced was little more than smut.

Funny. The Clintons don't look Jewish.

Chelsea wears an inverted cross around her neck.

I don't think it is because of a fondness to St Peter considering who she is married to.

Satanists consider an inverted cross to be a symbol of anti-Christ.

Makes you wonder.....

lol...well, they did hang out with a self-described "fat, hairy, Jewish guy" and take his money during the campaign.

USA has some of the dumbest voters money and free stuff can buy...how else could dems exist?

null's picture

Yes.
It’s called communist-sympathizing and it is both honest and logical if their premises hold. They only lie to get the few “thoughtful” votes from the middle and that’s who she was supposed to attract, the MCCain constituency.

Lock'em up!!! Now!!!

and give America another nice Christmas gift - MAGA!

Israel got the Christmas present.

America got 128 lumps of coal.

 

aside from MIGA, the irony here is that Chelsea and family just got a bigly tax cut.

I thought his strength was as a manager, and the ability to choose the right people for the right job.  Well, he's doing a horrible job at that right now.  And if his hands are really tied and he can't fire/hire who he wants, THERE WAS NO FUCKING POINT IN VOTING - Voting is a sham.

 

Fuck all this, I'm moving to Binomo

Too much Russian influence on Binimo...

HAHAHAHA.

Just a theoretical:

What if, at some point, Trump really did publicly throw his hands up in despair and say, "Sorry.  This swamp is too deep for me to drain.  It ain't gonna happen.  Here's a list of the top perps.  There's nothing more I or anyone else can do.  I'm walking away today.  Good luck America."?  Of course, this assumes that the message got out.

What IF he really did that?  I predict that MSM would mock him and say he was weak and mental, the 2IC would take over and nothing would change.  It would all be forgotten within a week.

Just a thought.  What if?

Are you saying false hope is better than no hope?
