Collusion bombshell: DNC lawyers met with FBI on Russia allegations before surveillance warrant
John Solomon, The Hill, 3 OCT 2018
Congressional investigators have confirmed that a top FBI official met with Democratic Party lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election, and before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump’s campaign.
Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee’s private law firm.
That’s the firm used by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to secretly pay research firm Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative, to compile a dossier of uncorroborated raw intelligence alleging Trump and Moscow were colluding to hijack the presidential election.
The dossier, though mostly unverified, was then used by the FBI as the main evidence seeking a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant targeting the Trump campaign in the final days of the campaign.
Tip of the Hat to Ray Songree.
Phi Beta Iota: We have consistently documented the fact that James Clapper and John Brennan and related FBI officials concocted a fake news false narrative about Russian collusion. The President has made an error in not insisting that all of the documents, without redaction, be published. Such publication would bury the British government as well as the Democratic Party.
