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

Read Transcripts here

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.

Bigger than you thought! Just read the lot..........JESUS, MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY!

After reading that it becomes clear Trump is an far far bigger criminal that I'd have EVER EVER expected.

I also wonder if the House intelligence committee released this so that the Russian underworld would feel compelled to take out Simpson?

THERE IS "NO WAY" THIS STATEMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNCLASSIFIED!

Honestly thought your thumb was Salman Rushdie, and was wondering what he had to do with this.

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.

Speaking of getting paid....

I for one could give a shit about who he was fucking of who was fucking him...what I do care about is where did this money come from. Mark my words this is going to be a BFD

And no I am not getting paid, just an old man in the middle of the winter with a passion for politics and not much else to do...

Eh, we disagree mightily about many things, but you stick to your guns, I'll give ya that.

bbqkink said @ 5:42am GMT on 20th Jan
Kinda boring if we all agreed.

OK I guess it is not indeed going to stop the witch hunt and fake news comments. The newest one is a mystery...how could anybody think this is possibly irregular or uncommon for that matter.

#ReleaseTheMemo

Apparently there is a memo floating around that shows that the FBI used the Steele dossier as probable cause to get a warrant before a FISA judge...

I wonder what they think should happen?

Americans deserve to know the contents of the memo. Democrats & deep state govt officials are doing everything they can to protect those within the government who used their positions of influence to target those they disagree with politically. RELEASE THE MEMO! #ReleaseTheMemo
PS over 1/2 the tweetes are Russian Bots and Trolls....
