Byron York: After Trump dossier revelation, FBI is next
Washington Examiner, Oct 25, 2017, Byron York
<snip>
But knowing that the Clinton campaign, the DNC, and Perkins Coie supported the dossier is not the end of the story. The most important next step is the FBI.
Sometime in October 2016 — that is, at the height of the presidential campaign — Christopher Steele, the foreign agent hired by Fusion GPS to compile the Trump dossier, approached the FBI with information he had gleaned during the project. According to a February report in the Washington Post, Steele "reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work."
It was an astonishing turn: the nation's top federal law enforcement agency agreeing to fund an ongoing opposition research project being conducted by one of the candidates in the midst of a presidential election. "The idea that the FBI and associates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for president in the run-up to the election raises further questions about the FBI's independence from politics, as well as the Obama administration's use of law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends," wrote Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Gosh. This would expose Comey as a corrupt and incompetent POS. That never could be.

So when Lynch and Bill Clinton met on the tarmac at Phoenix, do you suppose she told him "No worries. We have this covered?"
The bottom line appears to be that Hillary, Podesta, Lynch, Comey and Obama knew (or should have known) that this was the crooked method Trump talked about, and expected it to take him down. Perhaps Rosenstein, Mueller too.
And with Trump defeated, nothing further would be exposed since they would continue to hold the controls of govt.
The democrats' audacity is astounding. Trump and Sessions must have known all or most of this, all along.....and bided their time, allowing it to dribble out.

There may be a chance of that happening, now that those who were talking this BS up have largely left the forum.

Doesn't matter. Suffice it to say these folks - and there were only handful - were very credulous when it came to allegations of Russian collusion early on.

Oh! That's what I thought you meant. Agree.
