The Russia Questions No One Is Asking

      During the 2016 Presidential Election Campaign, HRC and the DNC through attorney Marc Elias of the Perkins-Coie legal firm hired Fusion GPS to perform opposition research on candidate Donald Trump. Fusion GPS employed a former British spy, Christopher Steele.  Why they hired a Brit to perform opposition research on the Republican candidate is unknown, just as why they specifically had him look into Russian "collusion" is even more obscure.  The FBI was made aware of the dossier that Steele allegedly produced for Fusion GPS, but the HRC and the DNC didn't use it prior to the election as it was and still is mostly unverified.  Instead it served as an "insurance policy," if HRC lost the election.  In January of 2017 Buzzfeed , and internet version of the National Inquirer, published the details of the dossier.  As it was not verified most news outlets were reluctant to publish it.  FBI Director James Comey, informed President Trump of the dossier, but I am certain he didn't tell him it was used by the FBI and the Obama DoJ to obtain FISA warrants to listen in on the Trump campaign and his team after the election.
      It also became apparent that Comey and the FBI were less than up front with the President concerning the election and the HRC email investigation.  This resulted in the Comey firing that then initiated the call for a special counsel to investigate Russian collusion by President Trump, both during and immediately after the 2016 election cycle.  The Russia probe seems to occupy much of the time and space with the MSM and Democrat Party who gleefully speculated that our President had committed terrible crimes and would be impeached.  This has subsequently raised questions that no one seems to really want to ask and answer.  Why would the Russians want Trump to win when they knew that the Clintons  would do just about anything for a payoff including commit treason. In 1996 WJC allowed missile guidance technology to be sold by a friend and bundler, Bernie Schwartz of Lorel Aerospace, to the Red Chinese Army in return for $20 million in illegal campaign contributions.  The CIA, DoD, and DoS had told him not to.  They felt that it would take 10-20 years and $2 billion to develop this on their own.  Not only did the Chinese get this technology, but some of it is now in the hands or North Korea, and Iran.  Obama and HRC allowed Russia to purchase 20% of US Uranium in return for a $145 million contribution to the Clinton Foundation and $500K for a speech by Bill. Details have been covered up and an FBI informant, Doug Campbell, was forced to sign an NDA so the deal could go through.  Yes, Obama slapped some sanctions on Russia, but refused to send arms to Ukraine after they were invaded by Russia.  With Trump, a political amateur and outsider, they had no real experience.  Why would the Russian's change support from a sure thing in HRC?  Oh I know, it was the stupid reset button that must have pissed them off.
      The Democrats have claimed that Russia hacked the DNC server, but never let the FBI examine it. Instead they claimed the tech firm they used,  Crowd Strike, said it was the Russians.  Julian Assange has denied that it was the Russians, and has somewhat cryptically advised that it was the murdered Seth Rich.  It has been confirmed that Rich did contact Wikileaks.  This investigation is sadly at a standstill but need to be reopened by at the federal level rather than the DC Police who have never been able to explain away the inconsistencies in their findings.
      The most obvious question is if the Russians really wanted Trump to win, why the dossier?  There are multiple possible answers and you can pick which one you believe.  First,  it is possible that the Russians contributed little if anything to the dossier, in that it was the work of Sid Blumenthal, Robbie Mook, and of course Christopher Steele, a Trump hater.  When HRC lost the election, the dossier took on a life of its own, used as an excuse to force an investigation by Robert Mueller, the "insurance policy" mentioned in the Peter Strzok and Lisa Page texts.  Although I don't know anything about Mueller's investigation that hasn't been reported (and much of what has been reported is open for interpretation), there is no report yet that he has verified any significant information in the dossier related to the campaign.
      Another possibility is that Russians did write much of it, but that seems remote, if Putin wanted Trump to win.  I doubt if a Russian or Russians would give out that kind of unverified information without Putin's consent with no concern for their own lives and the potential dire consequences,  if he found out. More than likely, if Putin took sides, he watched CNN, MSNBC, and all other MSM outlets and decided that Hillary was going to win and provided a damning dossier that would curry favor with the new Clinton regime.
    The last possibility and the one I favor the most is that Putin and Russia's efforts in the last election were not to pick sides, but to sow confusion and dissent among American politicians and the American people about politics and the political system.  If that was the reason behind it, they have already been very successful.  The dossier has been a source of great divide polarizing Democrats and Republicans even more.  It has touched off a costly investigations at the congressional level as well as with a special counsel with virtually nothing to show for it, except for some weak indictments unrelated to the President.
      If interfering in the elections of another country is such a terrible thing, why did we allow our own government to participate in attempts to alter election results in other countries.  WJC sent his team of dirty tricksters to Israel to defeat Netanyahu and Obama did the same.  In fact Obama, HRC, and Ambassador Jess Bailey spent over $10 million of tax payer dollars trying to replace the right center government of Macedonia.  Five million went to George Soros' Open Borders Macedonia to publish copies of Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals into Macedonian.  Until recently our money was still being dished out to fund anti government activities ( see blog from 6/5/17 Macedonia WTF).
      It doesn't make any sense that the Russians wanted Trump to win and supplied such a damning dossier.  Little did they know that Trump would win and HRC would claim that the Russians defeated her and with that in mind the left fought for and won a series of worthless investigations that drove both sides further apart and wasted time and money achieving Russia's goal in the first place.
