been investigating Trump since 2015. They are talking Steele dossier. They just published a book. They were shocked when Trump picked Manafort for his chair because he already had so much dirt on him.

Edited to add link to great New Yorker article about the book :
"The Inside Story of Christopher Steele’s Trump Dossier"
You will want to read this article. Lots of good info i hadn't heard before!

2. yes, just go to MSNBC and they will have all the videos up later.

[FirstLight]

3. riveting

I am definitely getting this book.... putting it on the C-Mas list for me and the nerdy-political daughter ...


(She's been following this and Hong Kong, and more....she is only 17 but is planning to become a Senator someday. )

[Amaryllis]

5. Rachel said she learned things she didnt know on every page and highly recommened the book.

Not to be missed, and she said she's been really immersed in all this but learned so much new from this one.

[FirstLight]

18. yeah stick a pin in THAT!

tells us there is SO much more to these interlinking stories...

[Roland99]

[blueinredohio]

7. They brought up (which even democrats don't bring up)

that REPUBLICANS started investigating Trump first. IMO this is important and should be brought up every time republicans bring up the dossier.

[Corgigal]

16. And they should have,

why they didn’t blow him out of the water, and off the ticket , I don’t know.

I’m sure someone will write another book someday. I’ve always puzzled on this.

[triron]

19. Simple: Putin didn't want them to.

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. My guess is Putin has kompromat on EVERYBODY

and they know it. Even just political donations. Trump was their boy and everyone knew that they couldn't do a damn thing about it.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. NO ONE ever mentions this and it is infuriating. Bad

On Dems and press.

[karin_sj]

26. I know!!!

It drives me crazy that nobody ever talks about this! The following is from TWO FREAKING YEARS AGO!

"The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative site based in Washington, D.C., confirmed that it hired the firm Fusion GPS to unearth damaging information about President Donald Trump in the run-up to the election."

"A key financial backer of Free Beacon is Paul Singer, a billionaire New York investor who is among the country's most active Republican donors. Since 2012, Singer has given more than 40 million dollars to Republican and conservative candidates for federal office, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Recipients included Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio, who competed with Trump for the Republican nomination."

29. dems can't beat 1500 kremlin-coordinated radio stations reaching 50 mil a week. they've

been attacking fusion GPS and simpson and steele for 3 years. all the dittohead republicans know those names and the lies linmbaugh's been putting on them for the kremlin. trump crew hasnt got eh brains for all that. the collusion's been going on under our noses - putin feeding limbaugh/hannity/fox and trump following the script

[EndlessWire]

36. Yes

I read the Judiciary interview of Simpson last year. It is available on line to read, and it is very interesting. This interview was voluntary but with restrictions in order to protect people that Fusion deemed vulnerable. They had their lawyer head off some stuff throughout the testimony.

If you put Fusion GPS into Google and click on The Daily Beast link, you can read this 312-page interview at the end of the article.

When I brought this up to another forum last year, no one was much interested in it. I thought it was a remarkable document because somewhere in the pages it came to light that Fusion itself became alarmed and actually attempted to notify the FBI about stuff, but nothing was done about it, or so it seemed.

There are a lot of familiar names in the document. Because the document is so long, I think a lot of people don't care about it, but it is well worth the read. As I recall, Fusion refused to give up the name of the Repub that originally requested their investigation, but everything else is revealed pretty much. The Steele dossier was definitely initiated in the Repub camp.

8. I hope they sent Nunes a copy.

Yup, very interesting. Getting that book tomorrow.

[UTUSN]

[Roland99]

17. Here's a couple minutes of video

Link to tweet

[OhNo-Really]

22. Great interview. She really respects the two journalists

[certainot]

30. linmbaugh's been attacking fusion GPS for about 3 years and i hope they make a fortune

off their book

[SonofDonald]

31. Manafort was hard to find at the time

They said they couldn't even find any contact info for manafort after his name came up during the investigation by Steele

He wasn't anywhere near the loop at that time, was in the dustbin of US history until being found by dump...

[Captain Zero]

32. and trump didn't FIND him

Putin SUPPLIED him.

[triron]

33. This post needs more exposure.

[a kennedy]

34. They were on Andrea Mitchell's program as well, very interesting......

[triron]

37. The more exposure they get the better.

[maxsolomon]

35. It's not dirt

it's evidence of criminality and corruption.

I was shocked as well once I heard he managed Yanukovitch's campaign. How baldfaced can you be?

And Repukes just shrugged it off. Rubes.
