BREAKING: Fusion GPS Testimony Indicates an Early FBI Source in Trump Campaign

This from MarketWatch:

One of the more interesting items from Simpson himself came when in a discussion of why the FBI thought Christopher Steele’s dossier might be credible.

“Essentially what he told me was they had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source and that — that they — my understanding was that they believed Chris at this point — that they believed Chris’s information might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump organization,” Simpson said.

And, by the way …

A lawyer for the research firm that brought to life the dossier that alleged connections between Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia told Senate investigators that someone was killed after a disputed dossier was published.

Maybe Trump et al. are worried about more than just getting caught colluding with the Russians or laundering their money.

So what? What does this mean? Without posting some context, it's meaningless. Anyone can post links to anything, PkrBoy does it all the time.

How is this significant? Why did you post this?

Well... it's certain that one of the campaigns colluded with foreign intelligence to contact Russia.

It typical Clinton fashion there are several shady intermediaries to muddy the trail. I still haven't heard a satisfactory legal rational for the Obama admin and intelligence apparatus to spy on the opposing political campaign. It better be good.

Remember the editorial in the NYT from the Fusion GPS folks? They were upset because their testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee had not been made public. Sen. Feinstein decided to release that testimony to the public. One revelation is that there was an FBI "mole" inside the Trump campaign BEFORE the Steele Dossier was a "thing". The WH is trying to both discredit the dossier and blame it for the FBI investigation.

The FBI investigation or the Mueller investigation? Jesus, it's hard to keep track of it all sometimes. I think I need to take a nap.

Sooo... it's going to be cool for trump to use the doj and fbi to make sure the dems don't break laws?

Just want to be sure there's one set of rules.

The original FBI investigation. Mueller wasn't appointed until Drumpf fired Comey. Keep in mind that he told the Russians in the WH that he had taken care of the Comey problem, and that he admitted to Lester Holt that he had already planned to fire Comey prior to any letter from the Justice Dept.

Sure you do...that's why you keep pointing fingers at Hillary Clinton while taking a trip down de Nile.

I'm perfectly happy to have justice applied equally... blindly. The Hillary investigation was a farce.

If there was any collision with Russians by either campaign... let the chips fall where they may.

Oh brother.....
