The left’s mission to destroy the Donald Trump presidency has centered on allegations he and his campaign colluded with Russia.
The media – fed by leaks from the deep state – has generated a cloud of suspicion hanging over the administration.
But now, one spy’s confession could unlock the mystery of the Trump-Russia connections and put the questions to rest.
Christopher Steele was an ex-British Intelligence officer who was paid by political opponents of Donald Trump to prepare an opposition research memo.
The document he produced included sensational claims that were impossible to verify.
He also provided the names of Russian hackers who carried out cyber attacks during the 2016 elections, as well as the names of Trump officials who colluded with Russia.
Though much of the information in the memo was unverified, Buzzfeed published it in full, creating a media firestorm just before the inauguration.
But now the rubber is meeting the road.
One of the Russians named in the memo as carrying out cyber attacks is suing Steele and his firm.
And Steele was forced to make a startling confession – information in his memo was “unverified.”
The Washington Times reports:
“Mr. Steele has not spoken publicly about his disputed opposition research project, but for the first time he is being forced to talk in a London court through his attorneys.
Barristers for Mr. Steele and his Orbis Business Intelligence firm filed their first defense against a defamation lawsuit brought by Aleksej Gubarev, chief executive of the network solutions firm XBT Holdings.
Mr. Steele acknowledges that the part of the 35-page dossier that identified Mr. Gubarev as a rogue hacker came from “unsolicited intelligence” and “raw intelligence” that “needed to be analyzed and further investigated/verified.”
This is the second time Steele named an individual as participating in a conspiracy surrounding the 2016 election, only to have the accusation fall apart.
His memo also accused Trump lawyer Michael Cohen of traveling to Prague to meet with Russian Intelligence officials in August, 2016.
Cohen denied the charges and produced evidence he was visiting colleges with his son during the time period Steele falsely accused him of secret meetings with shadowy Russian operatives.
The Washington Times also reports:
“The final Steele memo in December targets Mr. Gubarev and Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s personal attorney.
That memo, after accusing Mr. Gubarev, then recounts from previous memos a supposed trip Mr. Cohen took to Prague in late August to meet with Russian agents and devise a plan to cover up the purported Trump team’s role in the hacking.
Mr. Cohen calls the dossier “fabricated.” He has shown that he was in California at the time and has never been to Prague. He told The Washington Times that he has instructed his attorneys to investigate a lawsuit against Mr. Steele.”
When this story broke, the media salivated over the Steele memo.
So-called “journalists” believed it was the Holy Grail that would take down Trump once-and-for-all.
But as more details emerge, the memo is riddled with holes and inaccuracies.
The memo may turn out to be the key to Russian investigation.
But it may end up being the final proof this so-called “scandal” is nothing more than left-wing media fake news.
I hope Cohen sues the crap out of Steele for his fake lies against him! this guy needs to be sued for all the lies he told!! period!
need to sue the dnc
yeah, thats even better!
Conservatives and the republicans have never believed this idiotic theory of Russia and President Trump. The democrats have nothing left, and they can’t do anything but make up stories. If they only knew how pathetic they look, they would find a cave and hide. Maybe Hollywood could join them.
Dittos!
agree
The owners of the MSM own 96% of western world media, which includes Hollywood. Details at: tapnewswire 96 .
I BELIEVE NOT MUCH I READ ABOUT AND HALF WHAT I SEE. I ALSO THINK THIS ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT IS BULL SHIT.
So utterly SCURRILOUS is the democratic party in this country it should be outlawed as a deliberate and by design subversive terrorist organization.period Calling themselves American is by any standard a NATIONAL DISGRACE And a personal affront to this Honorably serving and disabled by that service Vietnam Veteran. They disgust and sicken me and ALL and half of the Republicans, RINOS, belong in prison NEVER office!
It may be ‘slow’ going, Nikita, but the ‘swamp’ is getting ‘drained and weeded’!!! Naturally, it’s ‘old time’ inhabitants are resisting, fighting back and–when all else fails, hiding!!
I’d rather see the draining going on at a much quicker pace for the sake of my grown children and the grandchildren I will never see since I am 72 and in failing health thanks to democrats and Agent Orange. To me it is a tossup as to which is deadlier to our Constitutional Republic and, I had a degree in government when I served in Vietnam in 1968, surviving the Tet Offensive for a country and government totally unworthy of the hardships and sacrifices endured by ALL who served HONORABLY as those cretins in establishment Washington in BOTH parties NEVER DO! TO ME,, THEY ARE ALL POND SCUM PARASITES THIEVES, PERVERTS AND PROFESSIONAL PREVARICATORS AND NOTHING ELSE!
And the gop still silent, establishment politicians must go on both sides.
The “swamp” is huge.
And it is very deep!
I’m from Florida and we had this sign in our shop for years
” The objective of all dedicated employees is to thoroughly
analyze all situations, anticipate all problems prior to
their occurrence, have answers for these problems, and move
swiftly to solve these problems when called upon.
However, when you are up to your ass in alligators, it is
difficult to remember that your initial objective was to
drain the swamp.”
Maybe if more Americans tried to help President Trump instead fighting him all the time he might just be able to get rid of the corruption in D.C that has had a stranglehold on ALL Americans for a long long time.
Looks like they have never represented the legal citizens or the USA since ‘ole shep was a pup………bozo represented the muslims, clintons represented themselves and whomever deposited $$$$ in their foundation……Bush……thats debatable……..
They represent corruption of course! They are the party of Lawyers and it is my opinion that lawyers are only professional liars, at least, that is what the democrat party is proving, If there is a honest lawyer out there (in Christ) forgive me. I will exclude you under their banner.
Lawyers are like everyone else – there’s good and bad in everything. Unfortunately we have developed into a country where bad gets rewarded and good gets ridiculed.
Lawyers!?!? That is why medical colleges around the nation are proposing using lawyers as lab subjects. Their reasoning is very sound. 1) The lab assistants will not become attached to their subjects. 2) They (lawyers) breed like rats. 3). There are somethings a monkey just will not do ….
For those who have been successfully ‘working the corrupt system’ all these years—themselves, of course! They couldn’t ‘believe it’ when Donald Trump was elected and now, they can’t ‘believe it’ that the ‘gravy train’ has reached the end of it’s ‘track’!!
Just listened to Mahars interview with Pocahantas. I don’t know what she’s on but she is whacky.
I remember that sign.
The only reason the left and the media keep trying to create “dirt” on President Trump is to take the focus off of ALL of the “dirt” we already have on the Clintons and Obamas.
There isn’t a ‘rug’ big enough to hide all the Clinton/Obama ‘filth’!!! Pointing fingers doesn’t work anymore, either, unless you’re a ‘Lib’ and ‘want’ to look the other way!! I’m personally delighted to see all the ‘holes’ showing up in the ‘so-called’ evidence!! Lies just never hold together when you most need them to–do they!!
what we have are people that want the government to take care of them and the people like me that do not want to pay for it
These dims and RINOs are always projecting. That is, because they operate as political animals and will do anything to win an election, they think everyone is into, not dirty dancing, but dirty politics. The D party is the party of blame and the party of patronage. Stuff they have been doing for decades. It is part of the political DNA they invented and implemented in the big city political boss politics of the 20s and 30s. Which grew to combat the capitalist activities, sweat shops, child labor, etc. practiced by the banker barons of the GOP. All that, like WWII, was a long time ago so clinging to 1920s type politics by the establishment is counter productive.
It is both sad and sick that so much energy is being wasted on all of these false allegations, all to make President Trump look bad…..better if they would start putting that same energy into improving the lot of the American people, the same folks who elected them to their current jobs. Surely by now they must know that President Trump is doing a superb job and is improving things for all Americans.Their HELP would help all of us.
Hillary once said “If I lose we all hang”. I guess all of the opposition is geared towards self preservation for those who are guilty. There are mountains of evidence against the Clintons and Obamas that continually go ignored.
You are correct. It is amazing to me how so much horrible stuff is shown to us every day and it all points to one Democrat or another….but then nothing is ever done about any of it and no one held accountable….what is going on? Then they keep picking on Pres. Trump as though all of the bad starts with him.
Why are the Republicans not even speaking for their President? They are as bad or worse than the opposition.
I think because President Trump is not a “real” Republican” he does not toe the party line. I also thought that was how he got elected enough people understood that he is out for what is good for Americans and to hell with everyone else. I am just glad to have business people running the country for a change – we have had enough of crooked lawyers.
100% Correct, all of it, every word
Have you sen this article yet
They say those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. After you read this – ask yourself didn’t Obama do the exact same thing with Iran?
Now We Know How North Korea Got Their Nukes.
North Korea has put us all in an uncomfortable place. We feel that conflict could happen any day. We would win, but it would be messy. Who is to blame for this situation?
In a shocking examination, it was discovered that Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton actually set us up for this situation. They did some pretty atrocious things with North Korea, and seemingly, didn’t care about the consequences of their actions. (via The Federalist Papers)
These two liberals set America up for failure from the start. Carter worked up a deal in Pyongyang with North Korea. The
result of the deal was two reactors and five billion dollars in aid, all in return for a promise to quit seeking nukes.
WE GAVE THEM TWO NUCLEAR REACTORS AND 5 BILLION DOLLARS AND SAID “DON’T BUILD NUKES!” Stunned by stupidity is the only way to describe this agreement. OF COURSE, they were going to go right back to building nukes with their two new reactors, and more money than any of us have ever seen in our lives.
Bill Clinton embraced this idea with arms wide open. He claimed that this achievement would form “an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula.” Really, Clinton?
This story proves another point that we should all take into consideration. They gave ANOTHER COUNTRY $5 billion dollars. We have people starving to death in our country already. Veterans are sick, homeless, and not getting the respect and admiration that they deserve.
We could have taken care of ALL of the current veterans with that $5 billion dollars. Instead, we gave it away to a dangerous dictator as if it were Monopoly money.
These former “leaders” need to admit that what they did put us in this situation. We know the mainstream media will never mention it. In fact, Carter won a Nobel Peace Prize for coming up with the North Korean agreement. Sad!
Knowing this information, you have to wonder how much we DON’T know. How much money was given to them from previous presidents that we will never know about? How many times did we happily give them money to try and build something that would destroy us?
It is complete madness and needs to stop. Luckily, President Trump noticed the same things that we have. He is going to keep aid to other countries to a bare bones minimum. We need to step back and focus on OUR country, and OUR people. President Trump recently passed an executive order for our veterans, and this is already an amazing improvement from previous legislation what was there previously.
Now, veterans can view information about their VA hospitals online, such as wait times, allowing them to get treatment sooner, and best of all, the best doctors in the world are going to be there to help. This is already a shining example of how Trump is different from Bill Clinton, Carter, or ANY other president that has been in office.
Clinton and Carter may never pay for their treason, but at least we have a good idea about how we ended up in this situation. Thanks, Clinton and Carter.
My recollection of the Nuclear Reactor episode was that it was understood and in the document agreement that it would only be used for Power for the cities etc.Never for Arms.
as for the Veterans>>>>They have been kicking this thing around for years and years and always without any sort of resolution….shamefully true.
Pres. Trump will solve the problem, allowing the Vets to go to other that a Veterans Hospital for Care should go a very long way to correcting some of the worst of it.
All of these things have solutions….however, and far too often, some Special Interest or another is listened to before the solution is tried…..these bought and paid for politicians should be removed.
Actually, ALL MONEY should be removed, and even the Campaigns should be paid for by the Treasury with limits on the amounts spent and the length of the campaigns…..and THEN…TERM LIMITS. Preferably, according to me….ONE 6 year term with NO REELECTION to that position and running for another job can only start AFTER the end of the current position is over.
I remember when Bill Clinton was in the White House he always wanted military on his detail wear civilian clothes. I guess him being a draft dodger and Hillary’s hatred of all things military is why, I’ve heard the sight of the uniform sickens her.
Close >>>>The Military Uniform to that Vile miserable lying witch means The Rule of Law, Democracy, Obey the Law and a few other things lost on the Clintons
Too many of the ‘good ole’ boys’ still in there. Pres Trump still doesn’t dare turn his back on them. Slowly getting ‘weeded out’ though. Same with the ‘high’ Courts!! An awful lot of work to be done yet. Reason why Pres Trump does a lot of business in Florida ‘White House’!!! At least he knows there are no ‘spies’ or ‘wire-tapping’ devices planted there!! Spring cleaning at the White House in DC hasn’t been completed yet!! Also why the politicians are so PO’d about it!! He was supposed to stay where they could keep an ‘eye’ on him! They really ‘hate’ unpredictable people!! Too hard to ‘control’!! HA!! That’s one reason we voted for him!
Hey Deborah, great call by you. I had never thought of the Florida retreat being for the reason you very adeptly point out. I was pissed that no one ever complained about Air Force One being the private Limo for the Obama Vacation Club, but the FL. trips are too much money….your answer to that is brilliant, and I commend you and you are correct 100%
Thanks! LOL
Don’t be to sure about devices not being planted in Florida. Wouldn’t put anything past the dems trying !
You get the idea that his law suit is going to fall on it’s face as well…………………….all the testimony is heresay and no docs….
Follow the money and the swamp gets deeper.
Politicians won’t give up their piggy banks easily.
Almost everyone has their hand in someones pocket.
The President and followers need our prayers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know it is really cold in Washington whenever you see a politician with his hands in his own pockets.
First of all this is not the democratic party. This the communist party. Its time we see it for what it is. We also need to deal with the establishment that has been bought and paid for by special interests etc. Congress and the “establishment” do not represent the people like you an me. They were paid off and sold out years ago. Time to drain the swamp and take back out country.
You are correct it is the communist party at work, I want to see Trumps people go after them and lock them up , they walk ,talk and love anything and everything about the former Soviet Union as for the clintons go back to when billy boy visited russia the first time he was elected he was treated like a long lost friend, this family is all bull shit and communist, how did a poor college kid get money to visit russia in the first place.
Just shows what the liberals/DEMS will do to control the USA………..They have proven just how corrupt and evil they are by their actions against our POTUS……..Those libs/DEMS are still whining and crying and trying every sneaky & lying way to get their corrupt DEM rumps back in the WH……
That is the #1 reason that they don’t want The Wall…they want all the votes they can get & they know the illegals will vote democratic if told/paid to!
The Democrats concocted this story to distract attention from Obama administration using the intelligence agencies to spy on political opponents. See “The Easter Bunny Cover-up” here:

Isn’t there a law that prevents lobbyists from contributing anything to those in Congress or candidates running for offfice? It should also be against the law for anyone to promote false stories that denigrate a candidate running for office. Hope this case is decided for the plaintiffs !
As with most of the laws regarding Congress–if it doesn’t suit them, it gets ignored!! Looks like those days are numbered and they really, really don’t ‘like it’!!
Did you see the news CNN is imploding about Trump talking about them. They can say whatever they want about him – BUT – if he says something back they cry foul – we have word for people like the losers at CNN. Actually we have a lot of one word comments that describe them.
i once heard that puff the magic dragon lived in honalee
Why doesn’t the British government prosecute this liar? Steele claims his information was unverified,, ha, it was a complete lie. Those in the U.S invooved need to be prosecuted also.
I don’t know what the laws are regarding this situation. The Brits seem to be going ‘heavy’ Liberal lately. If that’s the case, they may not be ‘pleased’ with this disclosure. I’m just delighted it’s all coming out–finally, complete with ‘names’!!
One of those involved is old nasty Senator Songbiird McLame without a doubt. He along with his girlfriend Lizzy Scgrahm
have something to hide in that swamp around DC and across the middle east. Whether their secret is of the one worlder scheme, or the illegal transport and sales of weapons to Syria through multiple mideast countries, of which libya, qatar, and UAE, to name a few, played deadly roles.
There is nothing more difficult to verify than a lie. I have spent (wasted) lots of time trying. Thusly, the Democrat “potshot” verification could go on for another 8 years less 100 days. Good luck!
Proving a lie to be true is even more difficult.
left wing lie factory f them
When Obama, Bill and Hillary are all arrested and charged with treason and murder among many other crimes we can all watch as they turn on each other. In the end when the dust has settled we will end up with Obama either strapped to a table with a needle in his arm or standing on the gallows with a rope around his skinny little neck. Bill will have killed himself long before as that is what cowards like him do. Hillary will have gone completely insane and live out her days in an asylum. If that doesn’t put a smile on your face I don’t know what will.
Is anyone really surprised, we knew that this was BS. Now, it’s time to take some folks to court, don’t let them get off Scott free with this smear campaign.
trump to Kim, we have been reviewing the terms of the previous agreements your country has had with the United States under the Carter and Clinton administrations, you were provided 2 nuclear reactors strictly for the generation of electricity and $5 Billion dollars and your country agreed to not seek nuclear weapons. Your country has been in violation of these agreements for years, we are going to put the reactors out of commission and we want our $5 Billion dollars back. Kim to Trump, “Make Me”.
OBAMINATION AND HITLERY ARE THE RUSSIAN AGENTS WHY ELSE WOULD THEY BOTH LET 2300 CLASSIFIED AND 23 TOP SECRET GOVERNMENT DOCUMENTS GO OVER AN ILLEGAL UNSECURED HOME SERVER AND TWO BLACKBERRY PHONES AND THEN ALLOWED HER TO DESTROY GOVERNMENT EMAILS WHEN ORDERED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE TO TURN THEM OVER AND THEN A OBAMINATION PUPPET COMEY WITH THE FBI GIVES HER A GET OUT OF JAIL FREE CARD !!!! LETS PUT THE REAL TRAITORS IN PRISON LIKE TRUMP PROMISED HE WOULD DO !!!! VIETNAM VET
Like I told my wife today, the media would have a cow if Trump bought a box of Girl Scout Cookies
Talk about Trump’s collusion with the Russians…me thinks this whole “fake” news story by Steele was a pay for play scheme devised by Hillary Clinton and her legion of Democratic fanatics for the sole purpose of the FBI taking their eyes off of the Clinton’s and their collusion with the Russians while she was Secretary of State…Of which Hillary and Bill Clinton brokered a deal with the Russians allowing them to acquired 20% of our US Uranium stockpiles…Most folks know what uranium ore is used for…it is used to make yellow cake…which in turn is used to make nuclear bombs and warheads…For brokering the deal the Russian gave the Clinton Foundation $145,000,000.00 (million dollars) in donation funds as payback for Hillary and Bill Clinton’s colluding with Uranium One…a Russian owned nuclear business which procured the uranium for military use…If this isn’t a bigger scandal than the Trump Russian connection…I don’t know what would be?…FBI Director James Comey dropped the ball on this one…the question is…why did he?
Podesta, with links to 0bama and long before, to the Clintons, has extensive invested financial interests in Russia, as does members of his family. And, not just measley dollar amounts in the hundreds or even hundreds of thousands, but billions twisted deep into Russian energy and financial sectors.
It won’t make a bit of difference. The liberals agenda is to oppose everything Trump wants to do and as long as the GOP elitists like Ryan, McConnell and their kind are around we the people will lose. This is a case that proves even if we the people made it possible for the GOP to control the House, the Senate and the White House they will make sure we the people will be ignored and betrayed at every turn. 2018 can’t get here soon enough when we the people should oust every single Rino from Congress. Just in the recent budget blip Trump was betrayed by the Rinos and the democommies got their way AGAIN.
WHO in the hell will take his word !! The D P is looking for any thing to cry about and lie about !! IT is time for TRUMP to get all of the offices filled NOW there is to many of BHO spies still there that need to be gone NOW Paul Ryan should go allso
It’s amazing how the liberal leftist thinkers must believe that all Americans are stupid and naive that they could run with unsubstantiated material and think that those with brains wouldn’t notice the inaccuracies of the story. In all their desperation to get to the winner’s circle, all the dirty tactics, they still end up with egg on their face. It doesn’t take a genius to see what they are up to unless you are a mindless liberal democrat who is totally clueless and just goes with what ever is told to you,then it goes without saying. True Americans love this country and that is why we voted for Donald Trump. The rest of you liberal shit asses need to pack up and leave since America means nothing to you! You have no rights to be here, you gave up that right when you slammed this country with your disgusting protests fueled by tiny shriveled up brains!
