But in September or October of 2015—Simpson was vague about the exact date—a client hired Fusion GPS to investigate Donald Trump. (The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative Web site that has received funding from the hedge-fund billionaire Paul Singer, has acknowledged hiring Fusion GPS to investigate candidates during the Republican Presidential primaries.) Simpson said the mandate was to carry out an “open-ended” examination of Trump’s business record, including his bankruptcies, and, he added, “it evolved somewhat quickly into issues of his relationship to organized-crime figures.”

Singer is active in Republican Party politics and collectively, Singer and others affiliated with Elliott Management are "the top source of contributions" to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

The Republicans were digging up dirt on Trump. 

That's where the Steele dossier came from.

Amazing to see the subversion of the American government, and really, how easy it is.

black is white, up is down.

 

And its important to note that the guy who compiled the dossier was an expert on Russia, a top intelligence guy, had routinely provided the US with intelligence in the past and also had no clue who he was compiling the data for (ie. he didnt know it was for GOP or the Dems). 

Trump is a criminal.  He's hoping that the public turns against Mueller so he can justify firing him without kicking off a constitutional crises that might see his removal and a potential violent revolution.  Think "Arab Spring" but in the US.... yikes.  So far, all his blathering is just noise and isnt gaining traction.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders on FOX has called special counsel Robert Mueller's ongoing investigation into possible ties between President Trump's campaign and Russia "a hoax and a waste of time."

Her master's voice.....

Except it is pretty clear, and a consensus among intelligence officials.... that the warrant application on Page was based on additional information and not just the Steele dossier.  The redacted memo, from Nunes purporting that the info came from the dossier was simply a put up/distraction job.

So it's gone from a Witch Hunt to a Hoax, I'm guessing throw something against the wall and see if it sticks this time, bring up new talking points and deflect away from talking about Russia having the POTUS bent over, Americans better be careful they may wake up 1 morning and see this on their tv screens.

Aaaaand all subtlety of gas-lighting- out the window:

Trump tells veterans: What you're seeing is not what's happening

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Trump encouraged his supporters to stick with him, even if they're seeing signs of trouble.

"Just remember what you’re seeing and what you're reading is not what’s happening," Trump said at the VFW convention in Kansas City.

He said the US economy is thriving, and not to believe work otherwise.

"Stick with us," Trump said. "Don’t believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news."

The White House Transcript Is Missing the Most Explosive Part of the Trump–Putin Press Conference

It’s not clear whether the omission was intended, but the meaning of a key exchange is dramatically altered as a result.

 

 

 

Quote

Compare this transcript, of what actually happened, to the White House’s version. Here is the record of what took place, starting with the last part of Putin’s comments before Mason’s questions. Putin is describing his willingness to assist with Robert Mueller’s probe (bolding is mine):

Vladimir Putin: That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.

Jeff Mason: President Putin, did you want President Trump to win the election and did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?

Putin: Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.

And here’s the key section from the White House transcript, which makes it seem as though Putin is still talking about the Mueller probe:  

PRESIDENT PUTIN: That could be a first step, and we can also extend it. Options abound, and they all can be found in an appropriate legal framework.

Q: And did you direct any of your officials to help him do that?

PRESIDENT PUTIN:  Yes, I did. Yes, I did. Because he talked about bringing the U.S.–Russia relationship back to normal.
