EXCLUSIVE: Fusion GPS Founder Had Contact With State Department Official During 2016 Campaign

    Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson was in contact with a State Department official who had close contacts with dossier author Christopher Steele, according to emails recently obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
    The September 2016 emails show Simpson was desperate to make contact with Jonathan Winer, a longtime associate of then-Secretary of State John Kerry.
    Winer has been confirmed as a source for an article published the following day. That article, written by journalist Michael Isikoff, was the first to publicize Steele’s claims about Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

One of the co-founders of the opposition research firm that commissioned the Steele dossier was in contact with a State Department official in the days before a news article was published laying out allegations contained in the salacious anti-Trump report.

Emails obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation show that Glenn Simpson, an executive at Fusion GPS, contacted Jonathan Winer, who then served as State’s special envoy for Libya, on Sept. 19 and Sept. 22, 2016. That was days ahead of the publication of a Yahoo! News article that was the first story to cite information gathered by Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the dossier.

Winer, a longtime aide to former Secretary of State John Kerry, was a source for that article, which laid out Steele’s allegations about Carter Page, a former Trump campaign adviser who would become the target of FBI surveillance.

Of all the corrupt agencies in Washington, the Department of State is the worst by a wide margin and that has been so for many decades now.

And so we have further evidence of "collusion" - the real thing, though. A phony dossier, paid for by Democrat operatives, disseminated by agencies of the Federal government who acted as cut-outs to help disguise the true source of the fabrications, while providing cover for corrupt, politicized investigators to claim that the story was somehow "corroborated" and worthy of pursuit.

Yep.  That about covers it.
