    From The Dossier To Papadopoulos, Obama’s State Department Had Early Role In Trump-Ru

    From The Dossier To Papadopoulos, Obama’s State Department Had Early Role In Trump-Russia Probe
    Chuck Ross

    ~snip~
    Drip by drip, details have emerged over the past several months showing the Department of State under the Obama administration played a larger role at key junctures in the Trump-Russia probe than previously known.
    State Department officials obtained and reviewed parts of the infamous Steele dossier by mid-July 2016, well before FBI headquarters had access to the document. The U.S. embassy in London was also an early recipient of information about former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that the FBI would use to justify opening its counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016. And in a little-noticed Senate hearing on Wednesday, it was revealed that dossier author Christopher Steele briefed State Department officials at Foggy Bottom in October 2016.
    The briefing suggests closer contacts between Steele and the State Department than the agency has acknowledged.
    Three diplomats — Victoria Nuland, Jonathan Winer and Elizabeth Dibble — appear to be key to the State Department’s role in handling Trump-related Russia information.
    Nuland, who was the Obama State Department’s top Russia expert, received excerpts of Steele’s dossier in mid-July 2016, about two months before the salacious document would reportedly make its way to the FBI team investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
    Dibble, the deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy in London, was reportedly one of the first U.S. officials to receive information about a May 2016 conversation that Papadopoulos, the Trump adviser, had with Alexander Downer, the Australian High Commissioner to the U.K.
    The meeting, held May 10, 2016, in which Downer says Papadopoulos mentioned Hillary Clinton and Russians, would later prompt the FBI to start its counterintelligence investigation, known as Crossfire Hurricane.
    Winer, who served until 2017 as special envoy to Libya, met personally with Steele. He also exchanged documents with the former MI6 officer and prepared a two-page summary of Steele’s dossier for the State Department.
    Winer was also a source for two journalists who wrote the only articles prior to 2016 that were based on Steele’s dossier. On top of that, Winer provided Steele with a second dossier written by longtime Clinton ally Cody Shearer. Steele gave the document to the FBI despite Shearer’s history of embellishment and various political misdeeds.

    The State Department’s involvement in Trump-Russia matters has received little media attention, but it has grabbed the interest of House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. The Republican has said he is investigating “major irregularities” in how the State Department handled unspecified information used in the Russia investigation.

    I think that this is being done slowly because they have a retiring congress man in mind to be the special prosicutor.

    Even my most adiment Friends on the left are starting to admit that the Obama, Clinton State Dept, Justice Dept and even our law enforcment agencies were dirty in the dealings with the Trump

    When you look back a Watergate, it is childs play compared to this. It is likely going into the 2020 elections that wer will be getting to the sentencing phase for many that were allies of the DNC.

    this falls elections will be a great measuse of the nation. If the GOP holds both the house and Senate, the Democrats are in for some tuff years. Only time will tell.

    The alt-Left will never be convinced, but the fact of the matter is they are hemorrhaging center-leftists every day.
