"In October 2015, during the Republican primary campaign, the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website primarily funded by Republican donor Paul Singer, hired the American research firm Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump and other Republican presidential candidates. For months, Fusion GPS gathered information about Trump, focusing on his business and entertainment activities. When Trump became the presumptive nominee on May 3, 2016, the Free Beacon stopped funding research on him. (Wikipedia) '“Shortly after the presidential election, Senator John McCain, who had been informed about the alleged links between the Kremlin and Trump, met with former British ambassador to Moscow Sir Andrew Wood. Wood confirmed the existence of the dossier and vouched for Steele's "professionalism and integrity”. McCain obtained the dossier from David J. Kramer and took it directly to FBI director James Comey on December 9, 2016”. (Wikipedia)
“The federal grand jury being used by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election has approved the first charges stemming from the investigation, sources tell CBS News.” (Italics CFP’s). “The indictment is currently under seal but is expected to become public as early as Monday. The nature of the charges is not clear, nor is the identity or number of individuals targeted. (CBS) “CNN first reported the approved charges Friday night.”Like CNN, the CBS story is based on “anonymous sources”. Peter Carr, a spokesman in the special counsel’s office, wasn’t the source, as he declined to comment. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein wasn’t a source as his office declined to comment on whether he was briefed on possible charges.
“Bernstein: Trump Officials Facing ‘20 to 40 to 50 Years for Whatever These Crimes Are’ ‘Mueller wants to send a signal to other perspective defendants’. (Grabien) “BERNSTEIN: “There’s one other aspect of this and that is that it’s very possible, and it’s been suggested to me by some of the lawyers involved, that Mueller wants to send a signal to other perspective [sic] defendants. If this person who has been indicted, or persons, are facing 20 to 40 to 50 years for whatever these crimes are — related to collusion or not — there may be others who are subject to similar charges who have further knowledge about dealings with Russia. And so it may be aimed at these perspective [sic] indictees as well, not simply this person or persons who they want to flip. So there are a lot of intentions that the special council is trying to convey here I suspect.” (Grabien)Grabien should acknowledge that it’s special counsel, not “council”. My yesterday Canada Free Press column started off with two words: “Happy Weekend!”
“Just as you were thinking that the Deep State ongoing soap opera l would end with Special Counsel Robert Mueller recusing himself now that failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her DNC travelling side show had been outed, comes this: “Things were getting too hot for Clinton and the DNC, so Mueller and CNN have “Harvey Weinsteined” the news cycle. “At 11 p.m. last night the mostly Democrat, 16-lawyered, Russia leaker panel LEAKED what they think is the story of the year: Mueller and Company are ready to file charges and “someone” could face arrest by Monday morning. “Judicial matters of such gravity used to be carried out during 9-to-5 business hours, but allowing for melodrama potential, Mueller and the CNN work closer to the witching hour. “You don’t have to be a trending expert to discover that the story leaked to CNN is trending and that all stories about it picked up by any other news outlet will be automatically referred back to CNN. “By 11 p.m., news reporters at other outlets may have been wrapping up for the day, or out barhopping, but the cafe latté was still flowing freely over at the CNN. ‘News’ Room. “Was Hillary Clinton sipping Chardonnay as she waited for the CNN bombshell to drop? “How much doubt can there be that the CNN ‘scoop’ was intended to keep folk tossing and turning at bed time all weekend and that it would dominate the Sunday news shows?”PLUNK! That’s the sound of both the MSM and progressive/left politics hitting rock bottom in the pond scum. The Mueller Investigation Team are keeping their detective spy glass trained on the completely manufactured anti-Trump dossier determined that it will lead to impeachment. The mainstream and social media emulate the now infamously fallacious Christopher Steele by continuing to file reports strictly based on “anonymous sources”. In other words, Christopher Steele’s still out there writing the narrative. Hang on to your seats, Patriots, you’re in for the bumpiest ride yet, starting tomorrow on the Eve of Halloween 2017.
