Testimony Reveals Fusion GPS Tried to Kill FBI Clinton Investigation

Glenn Simpson and the intelligence firm he founded, Fusion GPS, have presented themselves as disinterested researchers when it comes to their role in the Trump dossier and the 2016 election. But Simpson’s recently released testimony shows that at the same time he was encouraging the FBI to investigate Trump, he was actively trying to steer the FBI away from further investigation of the Clintons.

In his August 2017 testimony before Congress, Glenn Simpson admits Christopher Steele reached out to the FBI following the reopening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation in October 2016. Steele and Simpson had previously contacted the FBI regarding material they had collected on the Trump campaign — a project with no other direct tie to the Clinton investigation. Simpson claims the reopening of the Clinton probe sparked concerns on his part that the FBI was “being manipulated for political ends” by pro-Trump entities (Simpson testimony, p 179).

Yet it was Steele (with Simpson’s knowledge) who handed Clinton-funded opposition research to the FBI and then, as Simpson admits, reached out again to investigators to cast doubt on the Clinton investigation:

The pro-clinton machine at the FBI KNOWINGLY used false information, totally unverified, to obtain a SECRET search warrant and surveillance order.
I'll bet you thought the "good guys" only used secret warrants, secret searches, secret trails, and secret prisons on TERRORISTS, right?
You've been cheering so loudly that you missed them erasing the Bill of Rights.
It was for your own good, too.
It's ALWAYS for a "good reason".
You can see now (I pray) that ANYONE in America (even a presidential candidate!!) can be a target and evidence be damned.
You better slow down that cheering and start thinking about what you will do when it is YOUR turn. And your turn will come.
Unless you are one of the cheerleaders that believes history repeats itself (because of the same stupid mistakes, over and over again) EXCEPT for the USA. Except for us.
We are different, right?
THAT is what they ALL said....just before their heads were removed or their bodies were swinging from a tree.
Keep cheering.
