Wife of Spy Firm Founder Bragged Fusion GPS Was Paid to Fabricate the Entire Russia Trump Scandal; House Investigators Want Answers

From Tablet:
A Tablet investigation using public sources to trace the evolution of the now-famous dossier suggests that central elements of the Russiagate scandal emerged not from the British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s top-secret “sources” in the Russian government—which are unlikely to exist separate from Russian government control—but from a series of stories that Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and his wife Mary Jacoby co-wrote for The Wall Street Journal well before Fusion GPS existed, and Donald Trump was simply another loud-mouthed Manhattan real estate millionaire. 
Understanding the origins of the “Steele dossier” is especially important because of what it tells us about the nature and the workings of what its supporters would hopefully describe as an ongoing campaign to remove the elected president of the United States. 
Yet the involvement of sitting intelligence officials—and a sitting president—in such a campaign should be a frightening thought even to people who despise Trump and oppose every single one of his policies, especially in an age where the possibilities for such abuses have been multiplied by the power of secret courts, wide-spectrum surveillance, and the centralized creation and control of story-lines that live on social media while being fed from inside protected nodes of the federal bureaucracy. 
In a Facebook post from June 24, 2017, that Tablet has seen in screenshots, Jacoby claimed that her husband deserves the lion’s share of credit for Russiagate. (She has not replied to repeated requests for comment.) “It’s come to my attention that some people still don’t realize what Glenn’s role was in exposing Putin’s control of Donald Trump,” Jacoby wrote. “Let’s be clear. Glenn conducted the investigation. Glenn hired Chris Steele. Chris Steele worked for Glenn.” 
This assertion is hardly a simple assertion of family pride; it goes directly to the nature of what became known as the “Steele dossier,” on which the Russiagate narrative is founded. The fact that Jacoby is a reporter who often shared bylines with her husband at The Wall Street Journal is another reason to take her Facebook post seriously.
MEANWHILE:
TRUE PUNDIT THEN GOES ON TO ASSERT THERE IS MUCH WORSE COMING VERY VERY SOON:

Doesn't seem wise to be dropping hints at more to come . . . given mention of Hastings whose untimely and gruesome demise was likely a result of similar teasing.

Maybe.

HOWEVER, I don't think TruePundit is the source of this information. I think he is just a messenger.

The real source seems to be

1) Wikileaks
2) a VERY VERY highly placed person in government (Trump?)
3) a decentralized group of people spread around the world (computer hackers? again, Wikileaks? both? and more?)

Personally, I think Trump came into office connected to people who knew how to get things done within and without government - I think Trump is a source (along with those who work for him and with him) and I think Wikileaks (and hackers) are digging shit up.

I think the information that has been coming out is coordinated by a large group of people who have decided to align themselves behind Trump.

And Trump also just happens to be a guy who came along at the right time who is strong enough and willing enough to do the work to take down those deep state people on the other side.

Those deep state people are also a very large and decentralized group of people spread out across the world,

One could say that nothing has changed, cuz there have always been these factions and they have always released information on each other.

The difference now is that they are pulling out all the stops against each other. They are both showing themselves willing to use every last weapon, or at least, it looks like it is headed in that direction.

It seems we are seeing an end game of sorts.
