In a statement, Mark Corallo added: “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.”

Fusion GPS, which is based in Washington DC and was established by former Wall Street Journal reporters Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, found itself in the spotlight earlier this year after it emerged it was behind an “oppo research” dossier containing unproven and often salacious allegations about Mr Trump.

This has been out there since this story began... but MSM won't say a damn word about it.

It was most likely a set up, plain and simple. Person associated with Fusion GPS lied to get the meeting, and when Kushner, Manafort and Don, Jr. found out she had no info, they shut it down.

Hey, the Trump administration has apparently conspired with the Russians to win the 2016 presidential election. Did you hear about that?

It was a set up but there are more set ups. Dem Oppo set up more innocuous meetings with Trump people throughout the campaign. These meetings will serve as "bombshells" to be Breaking News on CNN at timed intervals all the way into the year 2020.

It's a brilliant Oppo/Info campaign against the main Dem enemy, the man who promises to MAGA: POTUS Trump.

...yep, and it's the most interesting aspect of the story because it truly shows the levels to which the democrats will stoop and more importantly, how manufactured everything is.

Christopher Steele started out working for Fusion, but he ended up working with the FBI which is exactly what Trump Jr. should've done when he heard he was going to be offered campaign oppo from the Russian government.

quote:

The reports came from a former British intelligence agent named Christopher Steele, who was working as a private investigator hired by a firm working for a Trump opponent. He provided the documents to an F.B.I. contact in Europe on the same day as Mr. Comey’s news conference about Mrs. Clinton.


quote:

Just a few weeks later, in late September, Mr. Steele, the former British agent, finally heard back from his contact at the F.B.I. It had been months, but the agency wanted to see the material he had collected “right away,” according to a person with knowledge of the conversation. What prompted this message remains unclear. Mr. Steele met his F.B.I. contact in Rome in early October, bringing a stack of new intelligence reports. One, dated Sept. 14, said that Mr. Putin was facing “fallout” over his apparent involvement in the D.N.C. hack and was receiving “conflicting advice” on what to do. The agent said that if Mr. Steele could get solid corroboration of his reports, the F.B.I. would pay him $50,000 for his efforts, according to two people familiar with the offer. Ultimately, he was not paid.

Imagine all the outrage and self righteousness just on this board about Muh Russians. Think bout all the insults and character assasinations and nastiness just on this board. All created and executed by Prog filth for no other purpose but to create turmoil and discord. These people must know in their hearts that they are in a state of moral confusion and hurting themselves and the larger society. It's profoundly sad for them and the country that they've chosen the dark path.

You mean the FBI that ultimately gave the info to McCain?

Or was it this Steele character who gave it to McCain?

I can't even remember anymore.

I will still support you when the Russian story fully and finally backfires. Deep down inside, you know that it is the dems guilty of collusion.

The worst part about this is that the progressives have done FAR more damage to the country and our electoral system than any collusion ever could.

The absolute partisanship of the progressives has been incredibly damaging.

Yeah I know right!? All just made up hysteria!
It's not as if Trump encouraged the Russians to hack Clinton and praised Wikileaks. Or that he had people in his campaign with ties to Russians. Or that he put a guy in charge of National Security that hid and lied about his connections to Russia. Or that his son met with a Russian who claimed to be able to help his campaign. (Which he wasn't truthful about till more details leaked) Or that he and his staff have given numerous conflicting and contradictory information.

Can't believe the prog filth just made up all that stuff. It's disgraceful!

I would also throw in the DNC's attempts at brownshirting Trump rallies (which was uncovered by a Veritas video).

Well that just, flat out, didn't happen.

Oh no! People in government know people in other governments!?!?!?


Everything else you wrote is wildly overstated and doesn't deserve a response.

The Dems got caught colluding with the media and rigging the primary. They worked directly with Ukrainian foreign intelligence to smear Trump.

The double standards are tasty here.
