Itās been an exceptionally bad year for the FBI. I predict a sudden upsurge of hard drive failures at the FBI and DOJ. There will also be shredders that suffer early "burnout."
The confirmation this week that Hillary Clintonās campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid an opposition-research firm for a ādossierā on Donald Trump is bombshell news. More bombshells are to come.
The Fusion GPS saga isnāt over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady election doings concealed within that oppo-research firmās walls. We now know where Fusion got some of its cash, but the next question is how the firm used it. With whom did it work beyond former British spy Christopher Steele ? Whom did it pay? Who else was paying it?
The answers are in Fusionās bank records. Fusion has doggedly refused to divulge the names of its clients for months now, despite extraordinary pressure. So why did the firm suddenly insist that middleman law firm Perkins Coie release Fusion from confidentiality agreements, and spill the beans on who hired it?
Because thereās something Fusion cares about keeping secret even more than the Clinton-DNC newsāand that something is in those bank records. The release of the client names was a last-ditch effort to appease the House Intelligence Committee, which issued subpoenas to Fusionās bank and was close to obtaining records until Fusion filed suit last week. The release was also likely aimed at currying favor with the court, given Fusionās otherwise weak legal case. The judge could rule as early as Friday morning.
If the House wins, donāt be surprised if those records include money connected to Russians. In the past Fusion has worked with Russians, including lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who happened to show up last year in Donald Trump Jr.ās office.
FBI bombshells are also yet to come. The bureau has stonewalled congressional subpoenas for documents related to the dossier, but that became harder with the DNC-Clinton news. On Thursday Speaker Paul Ryan announced the FBI had finally pledged to turn over its dossier file next week.
Assuming the FBI is comprehensive in its disclosure, expect to learn that the dossier was indeed a major basis of investigating the Trump teamādespite reading like āthe National Enquirer,ā as Rep. Trey Gowdy aptly put it. We may learn the FBI knew the dossier was a bought-and-paid-for product of Candidate Clinton, but used it anyway. Or that it didnāt know, which would be equally disturbing.
