Christopher Steele: The Real Foreign Influence in the 2016 Election?......

[MMC]

Leaving aside the validity of what has become known as the “Steele dossier,” it’s important to look at how Christopher Steele was able to guarantee that the information in it would play a significant and ongoing role in American politics.


Steele, who is British, did far more than simply provide opposition research
to the Democratic National Committee. He was able to make sure it reached the most influential people possible in politics, media and government to shape and influence the growing narrative of the 2016 presidential election. In other words, as a skilled professional intelligence officer, Steele ran a full-spectrum information operation against the United States. One could even call it information warfare.



This is what separates his work creating the dossier (https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html) (which a decent journalist with friends in Russia could have done) from his work insinuating the dossier into the highest reaches of American government and political society. For that, you need a real pro, an intelligence officer with decades of experience running just that kind of operation. Looking for foreign interference in the 2016 election? Let’s take a closer look at Christopher Steele.



Steele’s skill is revealed by the now familiar Nunes (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Nunes_Memo.pdf&page=3) and Grassley memos, which show he used the same set of information in the dossier to create a collaboration loop, every intelligence officer’s dream, which is his own planted information used to surreptitiously confirm itself, right up to the point where the target country’s own intelligence service re-purposed it as evidence in the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) court.


Steele admits (http://media.washtimes.com.s3.amazonaws.com/media/misc/2017/04/26/Steeles_Defence_in_London_Action.pdf) he briefed (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi-once-planned-to-pay-former-british-spy-who-authored-controversial-trump-dossier/2017/02/28/896ab470-facc-11e6-9845-576c69081518_story.html?utm_term=.689d02de1d5f) journalists off-the-record starting in summer and autumn 2016. His most significant hit came when in September 2016, journalist Michael Isikoff broke the story (https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-s-intel-officials-probe-ties-between-trump-adviser-and-kremlin-175046002.html) of Trump associate Carter Page’s alleged connections to Russia. Isikoff did not cite the dossier or Steele as sources, and in fact denied they were when questioned.


Isikoff’s story didn’t just push negative information about Trump into the public consciousness. It claimed U.S. intel officials were probing ties between a Trump adviser and the Kremlin, adding credibility, suggesting the feds themselves felt the info was worthwhile. Better yet for Steele, Isikoff claimed the information came from a “well-placed Western intelligence source,” suggesting it originated from a third-party and was picked up by Western spies instead of being written by one. Steele, either as a source himself or via colleagues passing around his information, saw to it the dossier information reached journalists at Mother Jones, the BBC, Guardian and others. An article by Harold Blum in Vanity Fair (https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/how-the-explosive-russian-dossier-was-compiled-christopher-steele)laid it out in April of last year:


So, putting talk of Russian meddling aside for a moment, is it not fair to ask if what Christopher Steele was doing could be construed as foreign influence in an American election? .....snip~


http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/christopher-steele-the-real-foreign-influence-in-the-2016-election/


Indeed.....and now Steel should be made to pay a heavy price. A Rogue agent/former MI6 did meddle and attempt to influence a US presidential Election in favor of Hillary and the Democrats. Message to the Repubs.....put out a warrant for this piece of shit. Convict him.....Then hang him in front of the DNC HQ. As a message to those that would usurp power.

Just another canard put out there as a deflection. What Steele did was out in the open. What the Russians did was not. Another false equivalency. Try again.

[Tahuyaman]

I read that Steele might be facing charges of espionage in the UK.

Out in the open? He perpetrated a fraud. How is that " out in the open"?

What a crock of shit.....the only deflection is by the left. If what he did was out in the Open. Why didn't the FBI hook him up for lying to them.

Why is Buzzfeed suing him?


Why is GPS Fusion suing him?

Steele was contracted by G Fusion, a conservative republican group who hated Trump, to go after information on Trump. That produced the dossier. Later, GPS Fusion offered it to the DNC. When your first paragraph is a deliberate lie and distortion, you're lying throughout your piece.

GPS Fusion is not a Republican Group. Simpson was a Investigative Reporter and Journalist for Roll Call. Then went to the WSJ as a Leftist Reporter and Journalist.

Did you forget they were hired to do the Oppo research on Romney when he ran against BO the Peep? Demos hired them back then too.

So no the first paragraph is no lie. Nor is the piece by the AC.

GPS Fusion is a conservative group that hated trump. Again, when all the right does is lie, it ends up not being believed and is now just being ignored. Trump has used up all his lies; and the right can't change the fact they lied about GPS Fusion and the dossier.

[ripmeister]

Out in the open? He perpetrated a fraud. How is that " out in the open"?
Well, we don't know if he perpetrated a fraud, but if he did it was out in the open. He took ownership of his work and everyone knew what it was. I'd call that out in the open.

Nobody is listening to the Little Boy Who Cried Wolf any more.

[Bob the Slob]

Most of the information presented in the dossier has been verified. That's not fraud. And he sold it and it was published. How is that NOT in the open?

[Tahuyaman]

Everyone who is even marginally informed knows that he perpetrated a fraud. It's just the hacks refuse to acknowledge it.

[Bob the Slob]

Apparently you are.

[Tahuyaman]

It has not. Where did you get this silly idea that most of that dossier has been verified?

[Bob the Slob]

I read that Steele might be facing charges of espionage in the UK.
I read that Trump is STILL colluding with the russians because he won't sign into law the sanctions against Russia. ;)

[ripmeister]

Precisely.

[Bob the Slob]

It has not.

It has.

Some of it has not been investigated yet, that we know of.

[ripmeister]

Apparently you are.
I think you misinterpreted on this one. I was agreeing with your point that this type of malarkey is being ignored anymore. MMC is the "Little Boy".

Link us up that GPS is a Conservative group. Put your money where your mouth is Alt leftist illiberal. I'll Wait!

[MMC]

Link us up whats been verified.

[Tahuyaman]

The dossier is unverified and it is not going to be verified because it can't be. It is fiction.

[MMC]

I think you misinterpreted on this one. I was agreeing with your point that this type of malarkey is being ignored anymore. MMC is the "Little Boy".


I got your little boy hanging between my legs. Don't talk shit and play mope. You aren't good at the game of diss.

[Tahuyaman]

So, conducting foreign policy is now colluding with the Russians?

[MMC]

So, conducting foreign policy is now colluding with the Russians?

These alt left/illiberals don't even know whats taking place. How can they even talk about it.


Uhm Can we get some real liberals in here that knows whats going on?????

[MisterVeritis]

Most of the information presented in the dossier has been verified. That's not fraud. And he sold it and it was published. How is that NOT in the open?
Cool. Would you mind going point by point to show your evidence? It should be easy.

[MMC]

Cool. Would you mind going point by point to show your evidence? It should be easy.

I'm still waiting for him to link up that GPS Fusion is a Republican group. Despite already having the link on them.

Plus as usual.....they were wrong about the Sanctions.

It does not matter. Why wasn't Fusion GPS and Steele indicted by Mueller?

[MMC]

It does not matter. Why wasn't Fusion GPS and Steele indicted by Mueller?

Because his job is to try and find some dirt on Trump.

[texan]

Uh......N:rollseyes:o.
UH yes. Fake $hit put together by Hillary and clan using this dope designed to sway an election.

[Tahuyaman]

Looks like Mueller's indictments are going to leave the liberals here sad faced. His indictments today pretty much exonerate Trump.

[ripmeister]

I got your little boy hanging between my legs. Don't talk $#@! and play mope. You aren't good at the game of diss.
Ouch! Thin skinned anyone?

[MisterVeritis]

Because his job is to try and find some dirt on Trump.
Find it or make it up?

[MMC]

Ouch! Thin skinned anyone?

Padding is over there >>>>> Try not to use it all up. Others of your kind will be needing some later today. Their Trump Russian Collusion Theory fell apart. Just sayin.
