L. Davis walks back Cohen knowledge of Trump Tower meeting / Russian collusion

The Washington Free Beacon, owned by a Rubio major supporter, hired Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on Trump. After Rubio was out, the Clinton campaign and DNC hired them through their mutual law firm to do the same. This has been well-reported.

If Rubio's people produced the Steele Dossier, ... then what did Hillary pay for ... and what did McCain get in Nova Scotia?






" The Republican senator was attending an annual security conference in Halifax, Nova Scotia shortly after the presidential election in November 2016 when retired a British diplomat approached him.

According to McCain, he didn't recall ever having a previous conversation with Sir Andrew Wood, but may have met him before in passing. Chris Brose, a staff member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, and David Kramer, a former assistant secretary of state with Russian expertise, joined McCain and Wood in a room off the main conference hall.

After discussing Russian election interference for a few minutes, Wood explained why he'd approached McCain in the first place.

"He told me he knew a former MI6 officer by the name of Christopher Steele, who had been commissioned to investigate connections between the Trump campaign and Russian agents as well as potentially compromising information about the President-elect that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin allegedly possessed," McCain wrote.

Wood told McCain that Steele had compiled a report, while careful to note the information was unverified, which the former British spy "strongly believed merited a thorough examination by counterintelligence experts."

"Our impromptu meeting felt charged with a strange intensity," McCain wrote. "No one wise-cracked to lighten the mood. We spoke in lowered voices. The room was dimly lit, and the atmosphere was eerie."

It all seemed "too strange a scenario to believe" at first, he wrote, but the six-term senator felt that "even a remote risk that the President of the United States might be vulnerable to Russian extortion had to be investigated." After further discussion, the group agreed to send Kramer to London to meet Steele. When Kramer returned from the meeting and told McCain that Steele seemed to be a reputable source, the Republican senator agreed to receive a copy of the dossier. ... "

Ask Evince. She works for the DNC.
 
Doo-doo, maybe.

Deep, most likely not lol. Mullet might be able to wring a charge out of the Tower meeting but a charge is not a conviction. And we’ve already seen Mullet go 8 out of 18 against Manafort.

I think it’s pretty apparent Mullet is getting desperate.
Desperate? One juror held up the 10 other convictions. Why do you think Manafort is going to flip by the time his DC trial begins?
 
It originated with Russian sources during the election.

You recognize that Mullet’s mandate is ridiculously broad, so there’s no justification for him to not investigate the Dossier. And it’s sure as hell more relevant than Manafort’s dated paper crimes or Trump affairs from the past.

Mullet doesn’t investigate it because he can’t and/or doesn’t want to.
Wrong
 
So you're the Devil's advocate now, lol.

No, this topic has been increasingly boring me all day, and now you are playing dense yet again. Believe whatever you want to believe about the dossier. I don't really care. It originated in the US. That is well-established. To expect me to somehow be able to answer questions about the intimate details of a document that has been through many hands, none of them being mine, seems little more than you looking for an argument for the sake of an argument. Not that interested. It would be like discussing which end of the cucumber is the correct end to peel from.

NPR disagrees with you.

"Where'd it come from?

During the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, the leaders of the conservative news outlet Washington Free Beacon hired a private intelligence company, Fusion GPS, to conduct research into the candidates, including Trump. Early in the year, the Free Beacon's interest in the work lapsed. So by "early March," Fusion GPS approached the law firm Perkins Coie, which represents the Democratic National Committee, offering to continue its investigations into Trump. In April, the law firm agreed, and it began to underwrite the investigation.

Why is this important? After Fusion GPS was initially hired by conservatives, Democrats paid for the phase of the work that included the compilation of the dossier.

Who did it?


Fusion GPS was founded by a former Wall Street Journal reporter, Glenn Simpson, and operates in Washington, D.C. Among the people it engaged to work on its Trump research was a former British intelligence officer, Christopher Steele, who had spent much of his career as a Russia expert for Britain's MI6. Steele, working in London, retained a network of sources in Russia whom he began to ask about Trump's dealings there."

It was paid for by a law firm (so it would look like legal expenses) by Clinton campaign and the DNC thru Fusion GPS to Steele.
Steele used his contacts both Russian and others ( not sure whom) to compose the dossier-
which he said in his libel trial in UK as "raw intelligence"

NPR disagrees with me by stating what I already stated, huh?

Well, if you said the Steele Dossier was created in London, and paid for by Hillary, ... then ok. Good enough for me. I'm done.

Thanks. You just refuted the claim that Clinton conspired with foreigners.

But I already linked Fusion.

That 8 guilty verdicts out of 18 and the only reason it was all 18 was that ONE idiot Trumper refused to vote that way on ten counts.

Fear not. More trials are coming.

Donie Jr?

Ivanka?

Eric?

Certainly Manafort
