Spy paid by Hillary-linked firm briefed media on phony foreign intel about the president!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - July 13, 2017 - While most in the media continue to focus on a meeting that all parties involved say resulted in no damaging material against Hillary Clinton, there’s little attention being paid to the fact that Clinton’s supporters were able to successfully use a foreign intelligence agent to disseminate false information to mainstream Amerikan press. The phony information allegedly came from inside the Kremlin and sought to damage then-candidate Donald Trump. Newly-released British court documents show that Fusion GPS, an “oppo firm” funded by Clinton’s supporters, successfully managed to get a former spy to discuss the phony foreign intelligence with The New York Times, Washington Post, Yahoo News, The New Yorker, Mother Jones, and CNN.
Fusion GPS contracted with Christopher Steele, who had once worked as an undercover spy in Moscow. The court document lifted a veil on Washington’s inner workings, with Steele laying out how Fusion briefed select reporters on the material for which it and Steele had been paid to gather.
“The journalists initially briefed at the end of September 2016 by the Second Defendant (Steele) and Fusion at Fusion’s instruction were from The New York Times, Washington Post, Yahoo News, The New Yorker, and CNN,” Steele’s lawyers said, adding that he “verbally and in person” briefed the first three organizations in mid-October and a reporter from Mother Jones via Skype.”
On the heels of a CNN report refuting Clinton campaign officials’ claims that the Democrat National Committee never worked with a foreign government to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, we now know that Democrats actually used a foreign agent to disseminate phony information to mainstream media.
And hardly anyone is paying any attention to it.
