Better work than usual, AP, but there’s one glaring fact error.

"In Russia, we put barrel over you."

It’s obvious Ohr has allies within government that made sure this was leaked. Firing him or stripping his security clearance (in effect terminating his employment) with this testimony out in the open makes any such ill-advised move by Trump more hazardous. Not that any damned Republican would sound an alarm. But it would add to Mueller’s obstruction case should any of it prove true.

A senior Justice Department lawyer says a former British spy told him at a breakfast meeting two years ago that Russian intelligence believed it had Donald Trump “over a barrel,” according to multiple people familiar with the encounter.

Ya don’t say!

The Trump faithful are not at all bothered by news such as this because Hillary’s use of the Steele dossier is obvious criminality and worse than anything Trump could ever have done with Russia, and besides Trump is just trying to have a better relationship with Russia anyway. And this witch hunt just proves that the Clintons still control the DOJ and the FBI. And if the Clintons can do this to Trump, the rest of America should be really afraid because the libtards want to tear up the constitution.

Let me translate.
“We’re moving you down to storage because your reliable professional contact told you your boss is a Ruskie stooge and because you didn’t tell us about what we already knew. Also the President thinks your poopy-pants”

Fellow Americans. This is your government on Right Wing Nut Job.

Neither Hillary or her campaign contacted Fusion who was working with Steele. First it was reported Jeb Bush had hired Fusion. Later, that morphed in to the the right-wing website Free Beacon actually hired Fusion GPS. When Fusion was no being paid for their work by the Republicans, they contacted Clinton campaign. Fusion GPS was started by a WSJ reporter who hated Hillary Clinton. But it’s all her doing doncha know.

a longtime FBI informant whose Democratic-funded research into Trump ties to Russia was compiled into a dossier

The research was originally funded by The Washington Free Beacon, a website funded by a major G.O.P. donor New York hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer. It didn’t quit funding the research until Cockholster clenched the nomination and then was funded by the Clinton campaign. Moreover, she was completely unaware of Steele’s investigation.

This point should always be made when discussing who paid for the Steele dossier.

I know that’s where it originated. Not many people were aware of it until the Bronson movie “Telefon”.

It was a trigger phrase that activated sleeper Soviet agents.
