DOJ to Investigate DNC Funded Oppo-Research Firm Fusion GPS

Fusion GPS was responsible for producing the dubious Steele dossier. It was used by the FBI to obtain several surveillance warrants on Trumpworld from the FISA court. Barr has already telegraphed his intentions to get to the bottom of all this spying on the 2016 Trump campaign. Fusion GPS is an obvious target.

So what do we know? Ranking Democrat, Representative Jerry Nadler, Chairman of the House Committe on the Judiciary asked  what the heck is going on over at the DOJ with all these surveillance investigations? Assistant U.S. Attorney General Stephen E. Boyd wrote Nadler a letter stating: *DOJ investigating 'non-governmental organizations and individuals' as part of 'broad' probe into surveillance abuses.

That letter, in full, is contained in this article. It's only 2 pages. Read through it, and how else would you characterize "'non-governmental organizations and individuals' as part of 'broad' probe into surveillance" but to include the DNC Funded Oppo-Research Firm Fusion GPS?

But first, let's travel in the way-back machine to October, 2018, when an investigation by Congress was deemed "not designed to discover the truth." That was a quote from the attorney of Fusion GPS co-founder, Glenn Simpson, when he announced that his client, Simpson, would invoke his First and Fifth Amendment privileges to avoid testifying before Congress.

What a difference 9 months makes.

From *Gregg Re at Fox News: "Numerous problems with the Steele dossier's reliability have surfaced, including several issues that were brought to the FBI's attention before it cited the dossier in its FISA application and subsequent renewals. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report made plain, for example, that then-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen did not travel to Prague to conspire with Russian hackers seeking to access Democrat files, as the dossier alleged.

Mueller also was unable to substantiate the dossier's claims that Page had received a large payment relating to the sale of a share of Rosneft, a Russian oil giant.

North Carolina GOP Rep. Mark Meadows told Fox News on Sunday he has seen "additional documents" that demonstrate that “prior to the first FISA application, Peter Strzok, Andy McCabe, and others at the FBI knew that Christopher Steele's dossier was not credible.” Internal FBI text messages obtained by Fox News in March showed FBI brass scrambling to respond to a concern from a senior DOJ official about the potential "bias" of a key FISA source...

"The deeper the dive we take into the Mueller report, we're starting to find out some of the conclusions, and actually some of the facts they put forth in there, are a misrepresentation of what we actually know," Meadows said."

Yes, we're looking sideways at you, then-CIA director John Brennan, plus now-Director of Central Intelligence, Gina Haspel.
