READ IT: House Intelligence Committee publishes entire testimony of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson

quote [ Simpson testified to the House Intelligence Committee behind closed doors for several hours in November 2017. His firm researched President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia with the help of former M16 Christopher Steele, who compiled a dossier of information which contained numerous explosive claims. ]

Well This should end the witch hunt and fake news comments...but it probably won't

MR. GOWDY: Can you give me an example of something that he
produced to you that you found to be not credible?
MR. SIMPSON: No, I don't think anything comes to mind. I mean, I must
say my original reaction to all this was to suspend judgment. I was not
particularly interested in some of the things that he found that are among the most
controversial, because I didn't think they were useful or important for what I was
trying to do. And so I to this day can't tell you whether a lot of those things -- I just
don't have a strong view as to whether they are false or true, per se.
But what we did do is look at names and places and people and whether
they matched up with information we could get elsewhere. And all of that, as far
as it went, checked out.

I haven't seen anything that has contradicted anything in

the memos to date, at least not that I can think of.
MR. GOWDY: Well, that's a very different standard. You haven't seen
anything to contradict it, whereas my question was, what did you have that
corroborates it? How were you able to asse~s the accuracy of the information,
the underlying information he provided you?
MR. SIMPSON: I'm sorry, I thought you asked me whether there was
anything in there that I found to be wrong.
MR. GOWDY: I did.
MR. SIMPSON: I haven't found anything to be wrong.

If you'd like me to

get into more of the corroboration, I can do that.

The Russia scandal just got bigger. And Republicans are trying to prevent an accounting.



The Russians hacked into Democratic Party emails and gave what they obtained to Wikileaks, so it could be released publicly to maximize the political damage to Hillary Clinton. They used social media to spread fictional stories meant to do the same. They made repeated attempts to engage the Trump campaign in a cooperative effort to undermine Clinton and help Trump. They attempted to hack into state voting systems.

And today we learn, in this report from Peter Stone and Greg Gordon of McClatchy, that they may have funneled money through the NRA to aid the Trump campaign.
