Proof Hillary Supporter Behind Russian Bank Trump Collusion Steele Dossier

From here:

(Tea Party PAC) – It has been discovered, through a review of the data in connection to the fake Steele dossier about a Trump-Russia Bank conspiracy, that the source used is probably the same source used by the FBI to acquire a FISA warrant needed to investigate the Trump-Alfa Bank connection. It comes as no shock that this person is a fanatical Hillary Clinton follower.
The President’s ordeal started back in June 2016 when reports came out that the Democratic National Committee had been hacked which prompted a group of leading computer scientists to get involved. This group started prying into the Trump Tower computers under the guise of investigation to allegedly discover whether those servers had been hacked also. Jean Camp was the leader of this group of computer scientists.

Who is Jean Camp? An Indiana University professor, respected computer scientist, and ardent Clinton supporter. According to Circa, Camp is a staunch supporter of Clinton,
“A respected computer scientist who raised concerns about a possible connection between President Trump and a Russian bank is an unabashed Hillary Clinton supporter who made multiple small donations to the Democrat’s presidential campaign around the time she and her colleagues surfaced the allegations.”
Some techies discovered that the Trump Tower servers began to be overrun with the exact same invalid look-up request that contain the words “trump” and “alfa” together. These were automatically placed in the servers’ log file by the server. The New York Times reported that the computer logs showed that two servers at Alfa Bank sent over 2,700 “look-up” messages to the Trump servers.
Interestingly, around that very time the FBI received a complaint from “cyberexperts” pointing them to a potential Trump-Alfa Bank connection. This then prompted the FBI to investigate the alleged connection. According to the New York Times,
“In classified sessions in August and September of 2016, intelligence officials also briefed congressional leaders on the possibility of financial ties between Russians and people connected to Mr. Trump. They focused particular attention on what cyber experts said appeared to be a mysterious computer back channel between the Trump Organization and the Alfa Bank, which is one of Russia’s biggest banks and whose owners have longstanding ties to Mr. Putin.”
Around the time the FBI started into its investigation, Christopher Steele began pushing the conspiracy that Trump was involved with the Alfa Bank. In mid-September Steele volunteered his memos to the FBI and the press, which included one that suggested the Trump-Alfa connection.
What seems like something right out of a Hollywood script, it is now known that Fusion GPS was pushing the false story to the progressive Slate Magazine and that Hillary Clinton was also promoting the conspiracy with the knowledge that it was her own team behind the false accusations!

Fusion GPS was behind this now discredited Slate story about a “special email server existing between Trump Tower and Moscow’s Alfa bank.” Here’s Hillary Clinton tweeting out the story the day it appeared..












Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.




The Steele dossier was the sole reason the FBI was able to obtain the FISA warrant, which proves that they received a copy of the memos from Steele. Previously the FBI was denied by the FISA court as they did not have sufficient, if any, evidence. McCabe said himself the FISA warrants would not have been granted had it not been for the Steele dossier. The FBI literally had no other pieces of evidence to indicate a Trump-Alfa bank connection and throughout the duration of this ordeal they never garnered additional evidence. The leftist New York Times even reported:
“Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.”
A forensic investigation put on by Alfa Bank into Alfa Bank’s computer showed the only communication regarding Trump that occurred were those logged requests coming from outside its servers. The New York Times reported truthfully that the hacking appeared to be an attempt to prevent Trump from getting elected rather than helping him. There is only one reason the FBI was not able to find any evidence of this Trump-Russia connection and that is because the claims were based only on “DNS logs.” The “DNS logs” are nothing more than one server looking up how to contact another across the internet. Absolutely no other communication was discovered through the forensic report on this subject.
Alfa Bank then pointed to Jean Camp and her associates as the culprits behind the false Trump-Alfa Bank accusations and even threatened to file suit against them:
“In May of this year [2017], the bank tapped Kirkland & Ellis LLP, a white-shoe American law firm, to write a letter to L. Jean Camp, an esteemed Indiana University computer scientist and researcher — and a vocal supporter of the claims made by Tea Leaves. This initial letter, first reported by CNN, claimed that the Camp investigation into the covert server chatter had “encouraged inquiries into supposed links to the Trump organization” and that her “activities continue to this day to promote an unwarranted investigation into Alfa Bank’s ‘communication’ with the Trump Organization.” The letter added that “Alfa Bank is exploring all available options to protect itself … [including] litigation and causes of action under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,” further demanding that Camp “preserve all records” pertaining to the Tea Leaves research. Such a preservation request is often the precursor to a lawsuit. There would be more letters.”
Alfa Bank requested that Professor Camp turn over all emails in relation to the Trump-Alfa Bank connection but, expectedly, she would not comply. Although the bank maintains the position that Camp is an employee of a public entity (Indiana University), her attorneys’ are still unwilling to cooperate. Alfa, along with millions of Americans, would love to know who was involved in the sending of requests to the bank’s and Trump’s servers, and then with the reporting and spreading of the false information as fact that there was a secret connection between Trump and Alfa Bank.
Then FBI Director Comey did in fact confirm, in March 2017, the absence of a connection between Trump and Alfa Bank. What we can learn from all of this is that the entire thing was a calculated effort to derail Trump from getting elected. Jean Camp, out of zealous devotion to Clinton, fabricated the entire web of lies and the FBI and Christopher Steele took the bait; hook, line, and sinker.

Hillary Clinton operatives pushed now-debunked Trump-Alfa server conspiracy, testimony reveals
Rowan Scarborough The Washington Times
January 23, 2019

The Clinton campaign’s operation to spread a now-debunked story on a Russian bank-Donald Trump computer linkage went further than previously known, according to new congressional testimony.

It turns out that at least two Clinton operatives went inside the Justice Department to sell the allegation.

The Democrat-pitched narrative went like this: The Trump Organization maintained a secret computer server at Trump Tower directly tied to Moscow’s Alfa Bank, whose partners are linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

But cybersleuths traced the server’s IP address not to Moscow, but to a spam operation outside Philadelphia that spit out hotel marketing pitches, including the Trump Organization’s.

It is known that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, the Clinton campaign’s opposition researcher who hired dossier writer Christopher Steele, pushed the server plot to then-Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr. His wife, Nellie, worked for Mr. Simpson at Fusion GPS as an anti-Trump Russia investigator.

According to Mr. Ohr’s meeting notes, Mr. Simpson told him the server was a direct communication link to Alfa and proof of Trump-Russia collusion. Mr. Simpson also said an October 2016 article in The New York Times was wrong for discounting the server story, according to Mr. Ohr.

As a go-between, Mr. Ohr sent Fusion’s information directly to the FBI, including to agent Peter Strzok, who led the Russia probe. Mr. Strzok was fired for sending a series of anti-Trump text messages to his lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page.

Now, newly revealed testimony from James Baker, the former FBI general counsel and close adviser to fired FBI Director James B. Comey, shows that Fusion tried another avenue inside the Obama administration.

In closed-door testimony in October, Mr. Baker told lawmakers on a special House task force that he met with Michael Sussmann, a partner in the Perkins Coie law firm, on Sept. 16, 2016.

Perkins Coie had represented the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, and funneled more than $1 million of their cash to Fusion, which paid Mr. Steele about $160,000 for his anti-Trump dossier.

Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, asked Mr. Baker if Mr. Sussmann, a cybertechnology expert and former Justice Department attorney, pitched the Alfa server connection.

“Oh yes, I mean, that is what he told me about. Yeah, absolutely,” he answered, according to a transcript first reported by The Epoch Times.

After conferring with bureau attorneys, Mr. Baker added: “He was describing a what appeared to be a surreptitious channel of communications communication between some part of President Trump’s, I’ll say organization but it could be his businesses. I don’t mean like The Trump Organization, per se. I mean his enterprises with which he was associated. Some part of that and a an organization associated with a Russian organization associated with the Russian Government.”

With his testimony, the public now knows that two Fusion-connected Clinton supporters Mr. Simpson and Mr. Sussmann gained access to the inner sanctums of the Obama law enforcement establishment to pitch a theory that proved bogus.

When Mr. Simpson appeared months later before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he testified that he had no opinion on the function of the supposed Trump-Alfa server.

September 2016 was a busy time for Clinton allies trying to sell Russia-Trump stories.

Mr. Steele, a former British intelligence officer, arrived in Washington from London to meet with reporters from The Washington Post, The New York Times, Yahoo News and other news sites. Yahoo News produced the first story on the dossier quoting Mr. Steele, but not by name, about supposed nefarious meetings in Moscow by Trump campaign volunteer Carter Page.

The next month, The New York Times published a story that deeply disappointed Mr. Simpson. The Times knocked down the collusion theme as well as the Alfa server conspiracy.

That same day, Oct. 31, the liberal website Slate did what Mr. Simpson wanted. It published a story supporting the Alfa-Trump server conspiracy.

The Clinton campaign, which had ballyhooed the Yahoo story, also tried to exploit the Slate piece as another example of Trump-Russia ties.

The Republican majority’s final report from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence last year noted the Sussmann maneuvers in a footnote. It said Mr. Sussmann (his name redacted) had a one-on-one meeting with Mr. Baker and also shared Alfa server information with Slate, whose story “Was a Trump Server Communicating with Russia?” was written by Franklin Foer.

Mr. Jordan disclosed in a letter to the U.S. attorney in Connecticut that Mr. Baker is under criminal investigation for leaking national security information to reporters. Mr. Baker’s attorney revealed the probe as grounds for refusing to let his client answer questions on that subject.

Mr. Baker was reassigned after Mr. Comey’s firing and then left the FBI.

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was criticized by the Justice Department inspector general for allegedly lying to his investigators about leaks to the press. He, too, is under U.S. attorney investigation.

The owners of Alfa Bank sued Fusion GPS for defamation in Washington for a dossier memo that said they paid bribes to Mr. Putin. They also are suing Mr. Steele in a London court.

EVEN WORSE, IT LOOKS LIKE THE WHOLE IDEA WAS COOKED UP BY CNN ITSELF! 

From here:

CNN WEBSITE EXPOSED AS BEING INVOLVED IN AUTHORING DEBUNKED STEELE DOSSIER

THERE IS MORE INFORMATION BEING REVEALED THAT CONCERNING THE UNVERIFIED CHRISTOPHER STEELE DOSSIER THAT POINTS TO HOW IT WAS CREATED.

IT HAS BEEN SHOWN DURING THIS TIME OF DIGGING THAT A RATHER LARGE CHUNK OF THIS UNVERIFIED DOSSIER WAS ACTUALLY AUTHORED ON AN OLD CNN WEBSITE.

Here is more from Fox News reported:

Former British spy Christopher Steele confessed that he used an unverified report submitted to a CNN website, where “random individuals” can post information, for his salacious anti-Trump dossier.

Steele made the awkward revelation during a deposition last year in a case involving Russian entrepreneur Aleksej Gubarev, who claims his companies Webzilla and XBT Holdings were defamed by Steele after the dossier was published by BuzzFeed.

Steele was asked during the deposition how he verified allegations about Gubarev’s companies and whether he found “anything of relevance concerning Webzilla,” according to the newly released transcripts of the deposition.

“We did. It was an article I have got here which was posted on July 28, 2009, on something called CNN iReport,” Steele said.

But CNN iReport, which appears to be no longer active — though archives remain accessible online — states that it’s a “user-generated site” and warns that “the stories submitted by users are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post.”

When asked whether the former British spy understood how the website actually worked, he confessed that “I do not have any particular knowledge of that” and noted he didn’t understand at the time that the site has “no connection to any CNN reporters.”

“Do you understand that CNN iReports are or were nothing more than any random individuals’ assertions on the Internet?” an examiner asked Steele.

He replied: “No, I obviously presume that if it is on a CNN site that it may has [sic] some kind of CNN status. Albeit that it may be an independent person posting on the site.”

AND THEN JOHN McCAIN PROMOTED IT AND SHOPPED IT AROUND TO OTHER MEDIA!

From here:

NEWLY RELEASED COURT FILINGS REVEAL JUST HOW MCCAIN USED DOSSIER AGAINST TRUMP, AND IT’S DISTURBING

SUNSHINE MARCH 16, 2019

There are new court filings that show how deep the late Sen. John McCain was involved in pushing the discredited dossier that began the Russia investigation.

This court filing shows that Sen. McCain and an aide not only shared the dossier with the FBI but also gave the dossier to a variety of media companies.

Fox News reported:

McCain had denied being the source for BuzzFeed after it published the dossier, which was funded by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, but had acknowledged giving it to the FBI.

In a newly unsealed declaration from September, former senior counterintelligence FBI agent Bill Priestap confirmed that the FBI received a copy of the first 33 pages of the dossier in December 2016 from McCain.

In another filing, David Kramer — a former State Department official and McCain associate — said in a Dec. 13, 2017, deposition that the dossier was given to him by author and former British spy Christopher Steele, which he then provided to more than a dozen journalists at outlets including CNN, BuzzFeed and The Washington Post. The details were first reported by The Daily Caller.
The report was also shared with State Department official Victoria Nuland, Obama National Security Council official Celeste Wallander and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill.
The filings were unsealed as part of an ongoing libel case against BuzzFeed by a Russian businessman.
In his deposition, Kramer said that McCain gave a copy of the dossier to then-FBI Director James Comey on Dec. 9. Kramer told investigators that it was the sense from Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson that “having Senator McCain provide it to the FBI would give it a little more oomph than it had had up until that point.”
“I think they felt a senior Republican was better to be the recipient of this rather than a Democrat because if it were a Democrat, I think that the view was that it would have been dismissed as a political attack,” Simpson said.


Bill Priestap, the top FBI counterintelligence official, told a federal court last August in a sworn declaration that John McCain passed the Steele dossier to James Comey on December 9, 2016, and that the FBI briefed Obama on it even though the FBI hadn't verified its claims.
