The revelation of this meeting—a defensive briefing—was discovered in the document release from the made-up Russia! Russia! Russia! Collusion hoax. As you know by now, the Democrats, mediacrats, and the intelligence community came together and were conducted like a symphony by, we now know, Hillary’s team, President Obama and his intelligence leaders, Hillary’s team of attorneys, and disgraced FBI Director James Comey.
Like the “Seinfeld Show,” the Russia Collusion scam was a “scandal” about nothing one could ever pinpoint. It was made of whole cloth. As the author of “Disappearing the President,” journalist Lee Smith, sees it, the Russia Collusion operation was, for lack of a better term, an information laundering operation, with layer upon layer of subterfuge, fake stories, decoy spies, and a dossier made to look like something. So much so, that it spurred a special counsel meant to grind down Trump during his first term. It worked.
The progenitor of the scam, disgraced spook hunter, Charles McGonigal, who retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2018, before he was thrown in prison for taking unreported money and consorting with Russian oligarchs and Albanian politicians, had meetings with Hillary Clinton’s legal team, including her fixer David Kendall, in 2015.
After McGonigal left the FBI he worked for a man whose name you might know, Oleg Deripaska. He also illegally took money from an Albanian leader.
Deripaska is a Russian oligarch who wanted the former FBI agent to spy on his opponents. The oligarch also employed Paul Manafort, who ran the nominating convention for Trump in 2016, before he was thrown in jail. And perhaps most tellingly, Deripaska had indirect ties to former MI6 spook Christopher Steele, the guy who cobbled together memos and napkin scrawls which later became known as the Steele Dossier. This collection of claptrap known as a “dossier” was peddled by other entities, such as Clinton's attorney Michael Sussman, because it sounds spy-like, and became the basis, along with lying to the court, for FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign and later, the Trump presidency.
