Devin Nunes just exposed Hillary Clinton’s diabolical role in the plot to use the deep state to take down Trump, otherwise known as the crime of the century.
This is a stunning turn of events as it seems Hillary’s team gave Steele a deadline of before the election to get his report out there.
In other words, the fix was in from the start. Look, if the whole Russia witch hunt was a political hit job by a bitter opponent who was heading to a devastating loss and who threw democracy out the window for her aims, whether it is illegal or just dirty politics, it is a betrayal of American ideals.
From The Daily Caller: Documents released by the State Department indicate the discredited Steele dossier containing alleged accounts of Donald Trump’s sexual peccadilloes while colluding with Russians officials was always intended as a political document for the Hillary Clinton campaign to discredit the presidential candidate.
The fanciful account was designed to be used as political mud to be slung during the 2016 presidential campaign, and had to be finished before Election Day, The Hill reports.
That conclusion is revealed in a written account from Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s Oct. 11, 2016 meeting with former MI6 agent Christopher Steele. Steele reportedly acknowledged that his intelligence-gathering mission was nothing more than a political job for the Hillary Clinton election campaign.
The conversation between Kavalec and Steele and her account of it all happened 10 days before the FBI decided Steele’s research should provide the basis of obtaining a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, starting with former advisor Carter Page.
Kavalec wrote that Steele’s client, the Clinton campaign, “is keen to see this information come to light prior to November 8,” Election Day in 2016.
The papers were apparently withheld from the House Intelligence Committee that was conducting an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“They tried to hide a lot of documents from us during our investigation, and it usually turns out there’s a reason for it,” California Republican Devin Nunes told The Hill.
From The Hill: Despite the heavy redactions, Kavalec’s notes have momentous consequence.
For the first time, we have written proof the U.S. government knew well before the FBI secured the FISA warrant that Steele had a political motive and Election Day deadline to make his dossier public.
And we know that information was transmitted before the Carter Page FISA warrant to one or more people whose job is so sensitive that their identity had to be protected. That means there is little chance the FBI didn’t know about Steele’s political client, or the Election Day deadline, before requesting the FISA warrant.
Documents and testimony from Department of Justice official Bruce Ohr, whose wife Nellie worked for Fusion GPS, show he told the FBI in August 2016 that Steele was “desperate” to defeat Trump and his work had something to do with Clinton’s campaign.
Kavalec’s notes make clear the DNC was a likely client and the election was Steele’s deadline to smear Trump.
Likewise, there is little chance the FBI didn’t know that Steele, then a bureau informant, had broken protocol and gone to the State Department in an effort to make the Trump dirt public.
