The Mueller report key findings hit yesterday, so here goes: Mueller did not find any evidence that Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign. On the obstruction of justice allegation over firing James Comey, there’s sure to be more efforts by Dems in SDNY to try to continue fomenting that spin effort to take down Trump.
Here are the main things the Mueller report doesn’t explain:
Who on earth were Steele’s Russian sources “close to the Kremlin”?
Were these Russian sources paid, or did they just offer up this supposed “Kremlin dirt” to Steele?
If Steele did pay his sources, where did those funds come from?
Cody Shearer, longtime Clinton operative (sleaze merchant), was reported to have produced a second dossier, which was fed to the Obama State Department as “reliable intelligence”.
How much overlap, collaboration or “collusion” (dare I say) was there between Shearer, Steele and/or Fusion GPS?
From 2018: “The second dossier — two reports compiled by Cody Shearer, an ex-journalist and longtime Clinton operative — echoes many of the lurid and still unsubstantiated claims made in the Steele dossier, and is receiving new scrutiny. Over the weekend, Rep. Devin Nunes, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said in a TV interviewthat his panel is shifting its focus concerning the genesis of the Russia investigation from the FBI to the State Department. This probe will include the Shearer dossier.
In late September 2016, Sidney Blumenthal, a close Clinton confidant and colleague of Shearer’s, passed Shearer’s dossier on to State Department official Jonathan M. Winer, a longtime aide to John Kerry on Capitol Hill and at Foggy Bottom.”

That 2018 report asserts, “two reports compiled by Cody Shearer, an ex-journalist and longtime Clinton operative — echoes many of the lurid and still unsubstantiated claims made in the Steele dossier”. Why do the Steele dossier and Shearer dossiers “echo” each other and who are the Kremlin-connected sources, or even Russian sources both Steele and Shearer relied on???
Adam Schiff, James Comey, John Brennan and James Clapper may want to keep faith in the Steele dossier, but it’s way past time to dig into the details of who were the Clinton sewer rats behind feeding that Steele dossier to top Obama officials and then trying to figure out why these officials bought into the Steele dossier so completely.
It’s time to investigate the Clinton SPIN operatives.
Candidly LB, I didn’t expect much beyond what was presented in the SC’s report. However there’s likely to be far more stuff “soon” I’m thinking (figuring the holdup had to wait until after the SC reported) from the far more expansive look the IG is still beavering away at.
Mueller’s scope was, afterall, quite narrow but Mr. Horowitz’?

I’ve agreed with you on this point about collusion for a long time, JK. It’s going to get messier when more information comes out from Horowitz.
The mainstream media look like total fools today.
The MSM are fools everyday.
Sam, I have to turn on MSNBC tonight to watch their “reporting” LOL.
“It’s time to investigate the Clinton spin operatives.”
I’m not holding my breath.
