Lee Stranahan On The Clinton State Department Crony Origin Of The Russian Collusion Hoax

Sunday, October 6th, 2019

Here’s an interesting thread by Lee Stranahan on how Clinton cronies at the State Department were building the Russian Collusion hoax story back in early 2016, before Fusion GPS hired Steele to assemble the fake dossier.

So that’s TWO State Department employees being briefed by Steele; Jonathan Winer & Victoria Nuland.

They both have 🇺🇦 Ukraine connections, as does Steele.

And there’s one more State Department who is VERY relevant to the whole story…Clinton’s Oxford roommate Strobe Talbott.

Strobe Talbott is one of the Clinton’s oldest and closest friends.

He headed the Brookings Instituion for years.

And is the THIRD State Department official briefed by Steele.
This is already looking very much like a State Department operation.

The 🇺🇦 Ukraine connections are everywhere.

Strobe link to a VERY important connection.

Back in the 1970s, Strobe married the twin sister of a man who would become a shadowy Clinton operative: Cody Shearer.

Read that Jonathan Winer op-Ed from earlier in the thread and you’ll that he was shown the little discussed “second dossier” that Cody Shearer assembled.

Steele gave it to the FBI.

But it’s totally misnamed. Why?

Because it came first, as you’ll see soon.

Snip.

Cody Shearer was assembling HIS dossier BEFORE STEELE WAS HIRED.

He was discussing Trump / Russia in MARCH OR APRIL of 2016.

Other names that play a role in the timeline: DNC operative Alexandra Chalupa, notorious Clinton crony Sidney Blumenthal, George Soros, John McCain and even convicted felony Brett Kimberlin, though those last three names appear to be involved in the Steele story only tangentially. Also, I don’t buy Stranahan’s “Ukraine bad/Russia good” positioning near the end of the thread. But the information about State Department/Clinton crony involvement in assembling the Steele hoax dossier information much earlier than most people know is worth pointing out.

“Patriots for Economic Freedom” is a Scam PAC

Tuesday, May 13th, 2014

I’m on enough mailing lists that I get a lot of campaign/PAC/etc. solicitations. One of the ones I get pretty regularly in email are missives from “Patriots for Economic Freedom” seemingly soliciting for one or another notable conservative candidates.

Take, for example, this one for Ted Cruz. They’ve also done solicitations featuring Allen West and Mia Love, and I just got one this morning for Oklahoma Senate candidate T. W. Shannon.

Just one tiny little problem: Ted Cruz never authorized Patriots for Economic Freedom to solicit on his behalf.

Well, actually two problems: The money Patriots for Economic Freedom raises doesn’t seem to get to the candidates. Indeed, the lion’s share seems to go to consultants Tyler Whitney and Dan Backer.

That’s right: “Patriots for Economic Freedom” is a scam PAC, and has been pulling their scam since at least 2012.

I don’t know who exactly is selling Patriots for Economic Freedom their email list (though I’m looking in your direction, NRO and Breitbart), but they need to stop. Every dollar spent supporting a scam PAC is a dollar not spent actually supporting a conservative candidate.

And someone should consider suing Patriots for Economic Freedom for false advertising.

And if you want to donate to Allen West, Mia Love or T.W. Shannon, do it directly.

A Tiny Update to the Saga of Convicted Felon Brett Kimberlin

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013

If you haven’t been following the saga of convicted felon Brett Kimberlin, the Speedway Bomber in all its twisty turn-yness, well, I can’t say that I blame you; there are a lot of twists and turns. (And here’s the unexpurgated version for the fortitudinous.)

Well, there’s some news about convicted felon Brett Kimberlin, namely the fact that he’s suing everyone in sight, including:

  • Ace of Spades
  • The Anonymous blogger behind Kimberlin Unmasked
  • Robert Stacy McCain
  • Aaron Walker
  • Red State’s Eric Erickson
  • Patterico’s Patrick Frey
  • Lee Stranahan
  • And many, many others.

    If you want to help those guys out against convicted felon Brett Kimberlin’s vexatious litigation, you can donate to their legal defense fund. Indeed, I tossed in a few shekels myself.
