The Washington, D.C., firm responsible ultimately for putting out the dossier from Russian intel that smeared President Donald Trump is outright refusing to answer a Senate panel’s questions about its affiliations with the Democratic Party.
And some are wondering: Was the FBI actually involved in the creation or distribution of this dossier?
Remember, it was this dossier that fueled the allegations of Trump’s supposed — and never proven — ties to Russia.
The FBI actually picked up on this dossier some months ago, even though agents knew it was bogus and its claims lacked even the slightest smell of credibility.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is trying to get to the root of the dossier’s development — namely, where it came from and who it’s tied to — but firm founders are stonewalling.
The New York Post’s Paul Sperry, meanwhile, is supposing the founders are “more political activists than journalists,” possessed of a distinct “pro-Hillary, anti-Trump” agenda.
Here’s more:
“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.”
“Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.
“More, federal records show a key co-founder and partner in the firm was a Hillary Clinton donor and supporter of her presidential campaign.
“In September 2016, while Fusion GPS was quietly shopping the dirty dossier on Trump around Washington, its co-founder and partner Peter R. Fritsch contributed at least $1,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund and the Hillary For America campaign, Federal Election Commission data show. His wife also donated money to Hillary’s campaign.
“Property records show that in June 2016, as Clinton allies bankrolled Fusion GPS, Fritsch bought a six-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Bethesda, Md., for $2.3 million.
“Fritsch did not respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Fusion GPS said the firm’s work is confidential.
“Sources say Fusion GPS had its own interest, beyond those of its clients, in promulgating negative gossip about Trump.
“Fritsch, who served as the Journal’s bureau chief in Mexico City and has lectured at the liberal Wilson Center’s Mexico Institute, married into a family with Mexican business interests. His wife, Beatriz Garcia, formerly worked as an executive at Grupo Dina, a manufacturer of trucks and buses in Mexico City that benefits from NAFTA, which Trump opposes.
“Fritsch’s Fusion GPS partner Thomas Catan, who grew up in Britain, once edited a business magazine in Mexico, moreover. A third founding partner, Glenn Simpson, is reported to have shared dark views of both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump. Before joining Fusion GPS, Simpson did opposition research for a former Clinton White House operative.”
Well, well, well. Looks like the Senate Judiciary has quite a list of questions to pose.
Here’s more, from PJ Media, citing Sperry’s Post report:
“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.
“According to Sperry, Senate investigators say McCabe is the FBI official who negotiated with Steele.”
If true, this doesn’t look good for the FBI — not at all.
Trump has been saying since campaign days part of his “drain the swamp” campaign would target America’s intel — something which no doubt set him as a target of the intel community. And watching the fiasco of Russia and the James Comey testimony on Capitol Hill as it all unfolded has certainly raised red flags about the truthfulness of these largely leftist-driven allegations. But now, the FBI?
Sperry’s report also mentions the CIA and the Barack Obama administration.
“Bizarrely, the CIA gave the shoddy, uncorroborated report credence and it wound up in the White House, where then-President Obama was briefed on it. The FBI also used the dossier for investigative leads on Carter Page, who has been eager to testify before Congress so he can clear his name. Yet former FBI Director James Comey admitted under oath earlier this month that the dossier is ‘salacious and unverified.'”
The deep state — alive and kicking.

The FBI and the CIA should be literally busted into a thousand pieces. JFK was going to do this and then he was murdered. All top people at the two organization should be canned.
And stripped of their pensions
Yes!!
The FBI is a corporation that is based out of France, as are most of the alphabet soup groups. This one Common Law judge out of Alaska, Anna Von Rietz, kept saying the FBI were foreign mercenaries based out of France during the Oregon Militia Standoff. Sounded absolutely crazy, right up until proof was provided.
I read her articles, one in which she proved The Rockefeller Foundation owns Oregon, for all intents and purposes, as well as several other states. I also read her “Letter to Sheriff Ward” and saved it, somewhere, but can’t find it. If you have the link, or caption, i’d greatly appreciate if you would send it to me. Thanks.
I’ve never seen that. I have her followed on her FB page, and I’ve seen her website. It could be on her website. She publishes almost every day, if not more, and has a blog. I read slowly and try to be objective, and find VERY little error with anything she’s doing. She’s laid out a practical plan and I’ve assessed it against others in the know. All seem to be on same page, except she stresses following everything exactly, which is very accurate. I’m positive that common law is the way to go about the muslin situation, as you have established law with you. Common Law Grand Juries assembled and it’s done. Legal statutes don’t apply. Was late finding her and was skeptical at 1st, no more.
I found her website difficult to navigate and have been searching for her articles re-posted on other sites. Her Letter to Sheriff Ward, in Oregon, is a brilliant treatise on the constitutional authority of Sheriffs, our English history, who owns Oregon and other states, and England’s present day influence on us. Pete Santilli has a link to it on one of his videos. The actual letter is somewhere in my computer. Let me know if you want to read it. If so, i’ll find it and post it to you. Thanks.
One of the things that most don’t immediately get is that if the Sheriff is working for a corporation, then he is a Law Enforcement Officer, not a Peace Officer. It’s like the same title, but completely different structures. Law Enforcement Officers guidelines are specified by the UN, and true Sherriff’s are from the land jurisdiction and common law sheriff’s. Takes a while to explain, but I hope you see it. I’m awfully tired right now, and sleep is calling, but ant discourse is helpful. I’ll post a vid that anyone can understand that will be helpful, or just go to youtube subscriber Barnone11097 or close to that and his vid ,” The true history of the United States just starts playing and is 1 hr 39min long. I’ll look for your response tomorrow, late, as I’m going to an Act for America meeting. Bridget Gabriel organization. There is a lot to learn about common law, and it takes time and proper research, I’m rambling, hope this is a start, Brad. Barnone is secular, but is quite accurate, and others say the same thing, but he puts it in a way anyone can understand.
The proof of truth is stranger than the lies of fiction,
The FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland security have been comprised by the leftists for a while now. It’s just like how Erdogan finally figured out to compromise the Military in Turkey to finally kill Kemalism.
Ataturk is some kind of hero? Tell it to the 200,000 Greeks he had slaughtered in Turkey. Of course if you’re a f’ing Turk who cares how many Greeks were slaughtered.
I never said he was a hero, did I? I meant for the last 90 years he was responsible for Turkey’s secularism, and now with Erdogan, Turkey is sliding quickly back into the Islamist swamp
For almost 100 years the Islamist tried to overthrow the secular government, and whenever an Islamist party got in power, the army would remove them. So the Islamist realized they needed to compromise the army which a long last they did and we can see how the latest attempt to oust the Islamist Erdogan didn’t work. Same thing the leftists in America are doing. . Even as far as the IRS which was weaponized to go specifically after conservative people and organizations.
Bullshit. The f’ing Turkish government sponsored the Istanbul pogrom of the 1950’s — which mostly had Greek victims, but any Jews who got in the way were fair game as well. Then there’s the little matter of the invasion, annexation and ethnic cleansing of Cyprus by f’ing Turkish muslums in the 1970’s.
So you expect an Islamised Turkey to be a better than the past secularized Turkey.
So the Istanbul pogrom and the invasion of Cyprus were “secular” acts? You’re a buffoon or a lying Turkish muslum rat.
You’re a f*cking moron. My point has nothing to do with whether the secular government was good or not, but the tactic the Islamists used to finally take power away from the secularists by compromising key elements in the Turkish military. Something the democrats in America were starting to do themselves. Your utter failure to comprehend what I was saying demonstrates that, you, are clearly the buffoon here.
SO secular genocides are fine w/you? Guess what? The vast majority of the Greeks killed were Christian.
Where did I say anything about genocide being OK? Do you have even, one, I mean, one, honest atom in your being? My point was how the Islamists finally got power over the secular Kemalist government in Turkey by compromising key points in the military.
Oh it’s prison time for Comey
He’s gonna leave us
I can hear the shackles ringing
in the night
But his sucking up to hill-ree
is no longer
He’ll go to jail and it will be
cryin’ time
How often does a 6′ 8″ pantywaist
get reamed per day in prison ?
Who can trust the Feds? Can you say “Ruby Ridge”?
Don’t forget WACO, where bill and Hillary burnt everything down because the members of the congregation had hacked the CIA computers and had documents confirming CIA was running drugs in and out of the airport next to the compound.
Fire every agent who had a hand working to take down Trump!
Time to cut their budget!
that would be all of them, so why not just get rid of these agencies
It couldn’t be that loyal yet venomous Democrat multi-generational Father and son team?
The Vince Foster Story in that Party’s Environment sounds more believable every day. I’m not even a believer in conspiracy theories but more and more some stories may be true such as the Democratic insider who passed along info to Assage as noted by Sean Hannity.
Go Trump!
anyone who thinks the fbi or cia or nsa or hsa or any other federal agency puts america first is a fool. these bureaucracies are rogue states filled with career democrats who loath trump and who loath me. really, trump should just defund the federal govt and see if anyone who votes for him cares. if the democrat voters suffer, i could care less
The Deep Swamp, strikes again.
I just started a petition on the White House petitions site, We the People. Please sign and forward onward. Please help spread the message. Tweet it. Email it. And put it out on Fakebook.
The Genius of Trump’s Tweets
Rachel Alexander
President Donald Trump frequently comes under criticism for tweeting, even from his own advisers. But tweeting is probably the smartest thing he has done as president. He is able to speak directly to the American people without going through the biased mainstream media filter. The media doesn’t get to ask him slanted questions or pick and choose parts of his press releases to publish. Instead, Trump gets immense control over every single sentence he issues, which are then read by millions of Americans.
!
Mark Levin: Please, Mr. President, Keep Tweeting
“Keep at it, keep at it, keep at it.”
“If he doesn’t tweet, how in the world is he going to get his message out?”
“Thank you for taking on the media. It’s a damn about time somebody did. Don’t stop tweeting. Be more careful with your tweets, but don’t stop tweeting because you’re able to go over the head of the media the way Reagan did with his speeches. Reagan had a unique ability to communicate and he had to go over the head of the media with speeches that he could give. He was a superb communicator. And I got to thinking, Donald Trump does the same thing in his own way. He could be more careful. I don’t care. Are the media careful about what they report? No. In any event, I’m one of those — count me in the minority that says, ‘Keep at it, keep at it, keep at it.’”

Wait a damn minute! What about that wild tale that the bogus dossier was showed to Trump by the FBI as means of alerting him to the type of dirt a President could be expected to have to endure in his capacity as Commander in Chief? Here is where the real “collusion” lies.
According to that new book, “Shattered” by Allen and Parmes, a 402 page post mortem on Hillary’s monumental loss of the Presidency, the Russian collusion excuse for her defeat was not dreamed up by the commiecrats until the first 24 hours after the election had been called in Trump’s favor.
No doubt that Dem activist who is the acting head of the FBI McCabe is involved. Hard to believe that POS was heading the Hillary Clinton investigation. Time for the President to clean house at the FBI!! Comey was just the beginning!!!
