clashdaily--2020-04-13--STEELE DOSSIER: The Document That Kicked Off Mueller Report Was Possibly ‘Russian Disinformation’

And for those of you who only accept news from the big networks, and will dismiss anything that exonerates Trump as ‘partisan’ — this story is from CBS.
It’s run by an experienced journalist that CNN celebrated for her integrity when she defected from Fox to join another network.
Now that she’s exposing some validity to what ‘trustworthy’ news sources would normally write off as merely Deep State conspiracy theories MAGA voters tell each other at night on Twitter, we’re going to need some questions answered.
The more we learn about the investigations into Trump and his associates, the uglier the picture of the characters coordinating it appear. These are not ‘honorable’ men and women serving the public interest. These are cynical and vindictive people willing to leverage tools they have no authority to use in the destruction of someone they have no right to investigate.
All for political gain.

He wanted the unredacted version of this report:

But some of Horowitz’s findings were disputed by U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting a broader investigation. At the time, Durham said “we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.” Several footnotes in Horowitz’s report were redacted, and Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson pushed for the declassification of four footnotes related to the Steele dossier, a collection of opposition research notes on the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia compiled by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer. The dossier was used, in part, by FBI investigators to secure four surveillance warrants for Page. Footnote 350 in the IG report addresses the FBI’s knowledge of Russian contacts with Steele and the potential for disinformation. Steele had “frequent contacts with representatives for multiple Russian oligarchs, we identified reporting the Crossfire Hurricane team received from (redacted) indicating the potential for Russian disinformation influencing Steele’s election reporting.” The footnote also indicates that warnings to the FBI’s Russia probe became more pronounced over time. “The (redacted) stated that it did not have high confidence in this subset of Steele’s reporting and assessed that the referenced subset was part of a Russian disinformation campaign to denigrate US foreign relations.” Footnote 302 relates to the FBI’s efforts to verify information contained in the Steele dossier, commissioned by the DNC through opposition research firm Fusion GPS. “According to a document circulated among Crossfire Hurricane team members and supervisors in early October 2016, Person 1 had historical contact with persons and entities suspected of being linked to RIS (Russian Intel)……In addition, in late December 2016, Department Attorney Bruce Ohr told SSA 1 that he had met with Glenn Simpson (Fusion GPS) and that Simpson had assessed that Person 1 was a RIS (Russian intel) officer who was central in connecting Trump to Russia.” The third footnote also relates to the Steele source.

It will be interesting to see how the Left passes this off as merely a conspiracy theory, or an attempt to deflect from … whatever it is they will claim Trump is trying to hide.
It couldn’t POSSIBLY be exactly the OPPOSITE of that, could it? That they’ve tried to keep Trump on the ropes for his entire presidency so that what THEY have to hide wouldn’t pop up and embarrass them, could it?
Either way, that leaves a BOATLOAD of unanswered questions about the Mueller probe (what did they know, when did they know it, and what was their REAL intent with this investigation), AND the key figures that helped launch it in the first place — including Comey, Brennan, and Rosenthal.
If we had more honest reporters like Catherine, perhaps we’d have broken the back of this sham before it had hijacked the presidency for years, wasted millions of dollars, dragged innocent men and women through the wringer, subverting justice, and almost certainly tainting the outcome of the midterm elections.
Maybe now we know why Mueller had so little to say about the document that launched the investigation that made him a household name.
It was possibly the only real evidence of Russian Collusion in the whole exercise, and it implicated PRECISELY the wrong people.

In fact, if we would just ditch the ‘social distancing’ approach, and do it his way, we could ‘exterminate’ this virus.
Is he some random quack with a website hocking aromatherapy?
Not at all.
Knut Wittkowski, previously the longtime head of the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design at the Rockefeller University in New York City, said in an interview with the Press and the Public Project that the coronavirus could be “exterminated” if we permitted most people to lead normal lives and sheltered the most vulnerable parts of society until the danger had passed.
So, he’s basically giving the same advice that many of the rest of us would have instinctively defaulted to — keep those of us at highest risk out of harm’s way while the virus sweeps through the rest of us in relatively short order.

Until we hit that 80% exposure threshold, he’s saying this will just keep going on forever.
If he’s right, everyone freaking out that we’re ‘killing people’ by going about our daily lives is not just showing the world their authoritarian instincts, but they are part of the problem. And the ‘evil’ people getting tickets for going to the park or heading out to church are (ironically) part of the solution.
Those of us who heard him interviewed on Mark Levin’s show from last Friday will know that Wittkowski mentioned an interesting difference between HIS specialty and the other guy’s.
Unlike the current flavor of the month, Wittowski doesn’t just have expertise in knowledge of how a virus works… he is well-versed in how they actually SPREAD.

This Month In History

The month of April has a list of memorable events throughout history .
Here are some of these events .
• The Easter Triduum , starting on the evening of Holy Thursday ( when the Last Supper took place ) and concluding on the evening of Easter Sunday ( when the Resurrection took place ) .
It is sometimes celebrated in March , depending on when the first Sunday is after the first full moon , which in turn is on or after March 21 .
Thus , it is a moveable feast , i.e .
not falling on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1865 : Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrenders to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House , which brings the American Civil War to an end .
• April 12 , 1861 : Confederate forces open fire on Fort Sumter near Charleston , South Carolina , thus starting the American Civil War .
The fort surrenders the following day .
• April 14 , 1865 : President Abraham Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford ’ s Theater .
He dies the following day .
• April 15 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ carried out by brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , resulting in three deaths and several hundred injuries .
A few days later , the Tsarnaev brothers kill an MIT policeman in a shootout and then kidnapped a man in his car .
A subsequent shootout with police resulted in one officer being killed , another officer wounded , and Tamerlan being shot several times before accidentally being run over by his brother who was attempting to escape , thus resulting in his death .
Dzhokhar was later found , tried , convicted , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 18 , 1775 : Paul Revere ( with the help of William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott ) carries out the Midnight Ride .
He is captured by British soldiers , but his companions manage to continue on with their mission .

Needless @ @ @ @ @ @ @ memorable events in April , both good and bad .

The month of April has a list of memorable events throughout history. Here are some of these events.
The Easter Triduum, starting on the evening of Holy Thursday (when the Last Supper took place) and concluding on the evening of Easter Sunday (when the Resurrection took place). It is sometimes celebrated in March, depending on when the first Sunday is after the first full moon, which in turn is on or after March 21. Thus, it is a moveable feast, i.e. not falling on a fixed date.
April 9, 1865: Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrenders to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, which brings the American Civil War to an end.
April 12, 1861: Confederate forces open fire on Fort Sumter near Charleston, South Carolina, thus starting the American Civil War. The fort surrenders the following day.
April 14, 1865: President Abraham Lincoln is shot by John Wilkes Booth at Ford’s Theater. He dies the following day.
April 15, 2013: the Boston Marathon bombings are carried out by brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, resulting in three deaths and several hundred injuries. A few days later, the Tsarnaev brothers kill an MIT policeman in a shootout and then kidnapped a man in his car. A subsequent shootout with police resulted in one officer being killed, another officer wounded, and Tamerlan being shot several times before accidentally being run over by his brother who was attempting to escape, thus resulting in his death. Dzhokhar was later found, tried, convicted, and sentenced to death.
April 18, 1775: Paul Revere (with the help of William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott) carries out the Midnight Ride. He is captured by British soldiers, but his companions manage to continue on with their mission.
April 18, 1942: Lieutenant Colonel James Doolittle leads 16 B-25s in an air raid on Japan. Although the raid is thought to have only resulted in a morale booster for America, in actuality it convinced the Japanese that America’s aircraft carriers had to be destroyed. So the Doolittle raid was the first of three turning points in the Pacific Theater (the other two being the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway).
April 19, 1775: the American Revolution begins with the battles of Lexington and Concord.
April 19, 1861: a pro-secessionist mob attacks Union soldiers passing through Baltimore on their way to Washington, D.C. Several soldiers and rioters are killed while many others are wounded.
April 19, 1993: the siege of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas comes to an end when a fire breaks out within the compound. Seventy-six members of the Branch Davidian cult perish, and the question of who was to blame for the fire emerges. Some say the FBI started the fire (albeit inadvertently after launching flammable tear gas into the building), while others claim the Branch Davidians started the fire (e.g. a repeat of Jonestown). It appears the Branch Davidians set the compound on fire due to an FBI surveillance tape recording a couple of Branch Davidians saying they planned to start a fire.
April 19, 1995: Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols launch a truck bomb attack at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, resulting in 168 deaths and over 600 people injured. The attack was retaliation for the siege at Waco. Both McVeigh and Nichols were later apprehended. McVeigh would later be executed for his crime, while Nichols was sentenced to life in prison.
April 20, 1999: disgruntled students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold carry out the Columbine High School massacre in Littleton, Colorado, killing thirteen people and wounding twenty-four others before committing suicide. The massacre results in debates over bullying in schools as well as gun control. In addition, Harris and Klebold (who dallied with white supremacy) chose April 20 because it was Adolf Hitler’s birthday.
April 30, 1945: Adolf Hitler and his wife Eva commit suicide one day after getting married in order to avoid being captured by the Soviets. One week later, Germany surrenders, thus ending the war in Europe.
Needless to say, there have been several memorable events in April, both good and bad.

Former Vice President Joe Biden has sent out a message on this holiday weekend.
Due to COVID-19 lockdowns, many of us are spending Easter in our homes and making phone calls or using the magic of the internet to make video calls to our loved ones instead of having a big holiday dinner with them.
It’s times like this that a message from a leader can make all the difference.
The Queen addressed the United Kingdom (and the Commonwealth) earlier this week with a message of hope and perseverance.
President Trump made several statements about the solemnity of Easter and the holy day that it is for Christians on Good Friday. He also stressed that Easter is a time of hope and renewal.
Now, his presumptive 2020 challenger wants to also acknowledge this most solemn and holy of days from his basement in Delaware.
Here he is, folks, Joe Biden…
Well, that looks about right for Joe.
(And yes, this is a joke, but then, so is Joe’s candidacy.)
Happy Easter, everyone!

And in THIS clip , he ’ s calling out China for their role in sparking this health crisis in the first place… and calling out the Woke Left for caring more about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ offend ’ the Chinese than about the people actually fighting to breathe .
Be warned , if profane language bothers you , you may want to think twice before pressing play : And how do you think the Left reacted to that ?

We call him out for some of his ridiculous partisan and Anti-American rhetoric from time to time, and we come to his defense when the Left turns on him for BBQing some of their sacred cows.
Altogether, he’s a talented comic, with a particularly well-honed ability to savagely ridicule. And in THIS clip, he’s calling out China for their role in sparking this health crisis in the first place… and calling out the Woke Left for caring more about calling the Wuflu a name that might ‘offend’ the Chinese than about the people actually fighting to breathe.
Be warned, if profane language bothers you, you may want to think twice before pressing play:

How the Virus Stole Easter
By Kristi Bothur
Twas late in ‘19 when the virus began
Bringing chaos and fear to all people, each land.
People were sick, hospitals full,
Doctors overwhelmed, no one in school.
As winter gave way to the promise of spring,
The virus raged on, touching peasant and king.
People hid in their homes from the enemy unseen.
They YouTubed and Zoomed, social-distanced, and cleaned.
April approached and churches were closed.
“There won’t be an Easter,” the world supposed.
“There won’t be church services, and egg hunts are out.
No reason for new dresses when we can’t go about.”
Holy Week started, as bleak as the rest.
The world was focused on masks and on tests.
“Easter can’t happen this year,” it proclaimed.
“Online and at home, it just won’t be the same.”
Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the days came and went.
The virus pressed on; it just would not relent.
The world woke Sunday and nothing had changed.
The virus still menaced, the people, estranged.
“Pooh pooh to the saints,” the world was grumbling.
“They’re finding out now that no Easter is coming.
“They’re just waking up! We know just what they’ll do!
Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
And then all the saints will all cry boo-hoo.
“That noise,” said the world, “will be something to hear.”
So it paused and the world put a hand to its ear.
And it did hear a sound coming through all the skies.
It started down low, then it started to rise.
But the sound wasn’t depressed.
Why, this sound was triumphant!
It couldn’t be so!
But it grew with abundance!
The world stared around, popping its eyes.
Then it shook! What it saw was a shocking surprise!
Every saint in every nation, the tall and the small,
Was celebrating Jesus in spite of it all!
It hadn’t stopped Easter from coming! It came!
Somehow or other, it came just the same!
And the world with its life quite stuck in quarantine
Stood puzzling and puzzling.
“Just how can it be?”
“It came without bonnets, it came without bunnies,
It came without egg hunts, cantatas, or money.”
Then the world thought of something it hadn’t before.
“Maybe Easter,” it thought, “doesn’t come from a store.
Maybe Easter, perhaps, means a little bit more.”
And what happened then?
Well….the story’s not done.
What will YOU do?
Will you share with that one
Or two or more people needing hope in this night?
Will you share the source of your life in this fight?
The churches are empty – but so is the tomb,
And Jesus is victor over death, doom, and gloom.
So this year at Easter, let this be our prayer,
As the virus still rages all around, everywhere.
May the world see hope when it looks at God’s people.
May the world see the church is not a building or steeple.
May the world find Faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection,
May the world find Joy in a time of dejection.
May 2020 be known as the year of survival,
But not only that –
Let it start a revival.
We take no credit for the poem, this is entirely Kristi’s work.
If you enjoyed what she did, by all means, you can let her know over at her ‘This Side Of Heaven‘ page, and give her a ‘follow’
The lines this writer would really like to spotlight were these ones:
So it paused and the world put a hand to its ear.
And it did hear a sound coming through all the skies.
It started down low, then it started to rise.
But the sound wasn’t depressed.
Why, this sound was triumphant!
It couldn’t be so!
But it grew with abundance!
The world stared around, popping its eyes.
Then it shook! What it saw was a shocking surprise!
Every saint in every nation, the tall and the small,
Was celebrating Jesus in spite of it all!
As they say responsively to mark the day in liturgical churches:
Alleluia, Christ is risen!
Christ is risen indeed, Alleluia!

Fox News Reports That COVID-19 Accidentally Leaked From Chinese Lab And WHO Was Complicit In The Cover-Up

It looks like it wasn ’ t the bat soup after all .

Investigative Journalist ’ s Documentary On The Origin Of The Coronavirus Is A Must-Watch

It looks like it wasn’t the bat soup after all.
Sources have told Fox News that the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic wasn’t the wet market in Wuhan but the Virology Institute that studies coronaviruses in bats just a few miles away.
This has been a quiet rumor since the outbreak began, but the systematic disinformation campaign by China had dismissed this as a tinfoil-hat conspiracy theory.
Apparently, believing that the virus was accidentally leaked from a facility that studies that very thing was a “conspiracy theory” but believing that the global pandemic was caused by consuming pangolins, a handful of people chewing on boiled bats, or even cross-contamination from those gross wet markets is not. Frankly, I think they all sound plausible.
But there weren’t simultaneous outbreaks of identical illness, there was only one source and that point of origin seems to be the research facility in Wuhan.
There is increasing confidence that COVID-19 likely originated in a Wuhan laboratory, though not as a bioweapon but as part of China’s effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China’s government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News. This may be the “costliest government coverup of all time,” one of the sources said. The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, and that “patient zero” worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan.

Asked by Fox News’ John Roberts about the reporting, President Trump remarked at Wednesday’s coronavirus press briefing, “More and more we’re hearing the story…we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation.” Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment. The Wuhan wet market initially identified as a possible point of origin never sold bats, and the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country’s propaganda efforts targeting the U.S. and Italy.
On Wednesday evening, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appeared on The Story with Martha McCallum and said that the U.S. government is “working diligently” to figure out the origin of the virus.
Secretary Pompeo told Martha McCallum, “What we do know is we know that this virus originated in Wuhan, China. We know there is the Wuhan Institute of Virology just a handful of miles away from where the wet market was. There is still lots to learn. You should know that the United States government is working diligently to figure it out.”
Concerning the State Department cables warning about the Wuhan laboratory, Pompeo said the installation “contained highly contagious materials — we knew that, we knew that they were working on this program, many countries have programs like this. In countries that are open and transparent, they have the ability to control them and keep them safe, and they allow outside observers in to make sure all the processes and procedures are right. I only wish that that had happened in this place.”
Additionally, the sources tell Fox News the World Health Organization (WHO) was complicit from the beginning in helping China cover its tracks. Trump announced at the White House coronavirus news briefing in the Rose Garden on Tuesday that the United States will immediately halt all funding for the WHO, saying it had put “political correctness over lifesaving measures.” The United States is the WHO’s largest single donor, and the State Department had previously planned to provide the agency $893 million in the current two-year funding period.

President Trump is absolutely correct to withhold funding from the World Health Organization if they were indeed complicit in assisting China in a massive cover-up. The actions of the Chi-Coms and the WHO have had the incalculable cost of over a hundred thousand deaths and counting.
The Chinese Communist Party was literally lecturing people that it was “racist” to call the coronavirus a “Chinese” virus or say that it originated in Wuhan as they spread disinformation that it was introduced to China by the United States. Then they used the World Health Organization to insist that there was no human-to-human transmission despite knowing otherwise.
Now we’re in a global pandemic and economies are taking a massive hit due to lockdowns to contain the spread.
And this is just the first wave. It is going to come back again and again, and we cannot simply shut everything down every time it does.
China Lied, People Died and the WHO was complicit. We need to rethink how we interact with both China and the WHO going forward.
