John Solomon, The Hill: Russia collusion bombshell: DNC lawyers met with FBI on dossier before surveillance warrant

Congressional investigators have confirmed that a top FBI official met with Democratic Party lawyers to talk about allegations of Donald Trump-Russia collusion weeks before the 2016 election, and before the bureau secured a search warrant targeting Trump’s campaign.

Former FBI general counsel James Baker met during the 2016 season with at least one attorney from Perkins Coie, the Democratic National Committee’s private law firm.

That’s the firm used by the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to secretly pay research firm Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence operative, to compile a dossier of uncorroborated raw intelligence alleging Trump and Moscow were colluding to hijack the presidential election.

Update: Top FBI Lawyer Flips: Russia Probe Was Handled In "Abnormal Fashion" And Rife With "Political Bias" (Zero Hedge)

WNU Editor: Could not have said it any better ....

.... “This is a bombshell that unequivocally shows the real collusion was between the FBI and Donald Trump’s opposition — the DNC, Hillary and a Trump-hating British intel officer — to hijack the election, rather than some conspiracy between Putin and Trump,” a knowledgeable source told me.

But the big question still remains unanswered. When did President Obama know what was happening, and what did he do when he learned about it?

Update: The Washington Post is downplaying this story .... Trump allies, offering no specifics, say former FBI official gives ‘explosive’ testimony in Russia probe (Washington Post), but admits that using an opponents opposition research to get a warrant to conduct a surveillance operation on their opponent may not be right. Sighhh .... you just cannot make this stuff up. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was the Republicans who obtained this warrant .... the Washington Post would be screaming bloody murder for years.

Lapides,
"I WILL NO LONGER POST TO THOSE WHO WANT TO INSULT ME", as you seem to lack the temperament for commenting that would be an excellent idea. You could go back to using Anon, but as your unique style gives you away (everytime) perhaps your original idea is best.

The value of this site is that it provides interesting articles, not so easily accessed, regarding wars and stuff.

The Editor's perspective on that stuff is invaluable.

The embarrassingly few and especially anonymous commenters provide comic relief.

Commenters like Bob Huntley provide interesting study of how some people unashamedly lie plus display many other bad character traits.

Hahaha hell, Fred. All caps mode with the intention of depriving us of his attention??? Perhaps the topic poked you too hard. This is what happens when you live your life by substituting reality with your own version of it that is easier to deal with. Just leave and say hi to Jay. No one wants you here because you add no real value. Plunker.
