It has yet to sink in that we have lived through an attempted coup against an incoming President of the United States.
Evidence already indicates that a subversive effort was mounted from inside the US government under Barack Obama, and from outside the US government by entities including the Hillary Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee and their law firm, Perkins Coie. Plotters include Obama White House, “Intelligence Community,” and Justice Department officials, some of whom continue to serve in the Trump administration. This same effort has international dimensions, encompassing elements of British and Russian intelligence, coordinated through the “opposition research” firm of Fusion GPS, which almost looks like an intelligence agency itself, and whose own services include open conduits into the media, some of them paid.
On December 11, 2017, we learned from James Rosen about a married couple, Bruce and Nellie H. Ohr, and their respective connections to Glenn Simpson, Fusion and the “dossier.” Bruce Ohr was a senior Justice Department official until his demotion one day before Rosen reported on Bruce Ohr’s secret contacts with DNC/Hillary/Fusion contractor Christopher Steele and Fusion chief Glenn Simpson. Bruce’s wife Nellie H. Ohr, we also learned, was working for Fusion on anti-Trump research — perhaps on the “dossier” itself — even as her DOJ official-husband was secretly meeting with Fusion “dossier” principals.
Writing at Tablet, Lee Smith reports on an indiscreet posting on Facebook by Glenn Simpson’s wife, writer Mary Jacoby. On June 24, 2017, Jacoby took to Facebook and wrote:
“It’s come to my attention that some people still don’t realize what Glenn’s role was in exposing Putin’s control of Donald Trump. Let’s be clear. Glenn conducted the investigation. Glenn hired Chris Steele. Chris Steele worked for Glenn.”
The salacious and unverified Steele Dossier was used by the FBI & DOJ to target the Trump campaign in its Russia investigation, but it turns out the Steele Dossier was itself likely a part of a Russian disinformation campaign against Trump.
The FBI & DOJ used a dossier containing Russian disinformation compiled by a British ex-spy at the behest of Fusion GPS paid for by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC via Perkins Coie to illegally target and surveil a former member of Donald Trump’s campaign.
Declassified footnotes from the Justice Department watchdog report on the FBI’s Russia investigation revealed new details indicating British ex-spy Christoper Steele’s dossier was likely compromised by disinformation efforts carried out by Russian intelligence.
In the report released in December, DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz described “Person 1” as a “key Steele sub-source,” who was attributed with providing information in Steele’s dossier. The newly unmasked details show that a document circulated among members of the Crossfire Hurricane team in early October 2016 showed that Person 1 had “historical contact with persons and entities suspected of being linked to RIS” — or Russian Intelligence Services. The document described reporting that Person 1 “was rumored to be a former KGB/SVR officer.” Further, the declassified footnote shows in late December 2016 DOJ official Bruce Ohr told SSA 1, believed to be FBI agent Joseph Pientka, that he had met with Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, who assessed that Person 1 was an “RIS officer” central in connecting President Trump to Russia.
“It’s ironic that the Russian collusion narrative was fatally flawed because of Russian disinformation. These footnotes confirm that there was a direct Russian disinformation campaign in 2016, and there were ties between Russian intelligence and a presidential campaign — the Clinton campaign, not Trump’s,” – Senator Grassley.

About the Author
You are delusional, mr creed
It is YOU that are delusional, Boone. The facts are laid out. If you can not see it, then you do not believe in justice. I believe the whole democratic party is corrupt.
What have they done in the last four years for the American people? Here let me help you ( just because you seem to be challenged individual) the Democratic party has done nothing for the American people!
I disagree.
The Democrat Party has inadvertently done a great service to the country.
They used to be coy about their dalliance with socialism.
Now?
They tout it publicly as the best way forward.
How’d that happen?
Mr. Trump’s remarkable ability to get under his opponents skin causing them to go into paroxysms of rage.
And we all know, when in a rage people say some darn revealing things.
Mr. Creed and D. Luther are absolutely correct. I don’t know what happened to the Democrat Party. They have turned to the dark side. They spend more time supporting illegals, criminals, and foreign governments at the expense of the American taxpayer. We need to investigate them and determine who is funding them. Who are their puppet masters. Drain the Swamp.
I no longer view them as my fellow americans.
Where the hell have you been for the last 4-5 years? Facebook? North Korea? Iran? or White Rabbit? or are you just ignorant?
Coup – a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
Sudden – Nope
Violent – Nope
Illegal – as much as you would like to think it was – it’s a nope.
If Apple and Samsung can’t stop leaks of their new products, somehow you think hundreds of people can act as one . You shit on the inability of government to function yet you believe this can happen. Yup, delusional.
Next up for the Mirror – Aliens are trying to communicate with us via crop circles conspiracy
tokenny, dude, you are a hoot!
In a coup, it is the military, paramilitary, or opposing political faction that deposes the current government and assumes power.
The only reason the attempt came to light was all the imbeciles involved thought Hillary was the next President. She and Obama thought it was a done deal. Boy were they wrong. Hopefully in Trump’s last term he’ll put some people in jail. It could happen…
