In late March or early April 2017, as Crossfire Hurricane was metastasizing into the Mueller inquisition, Democrat operative and Fusion GPS patron and client Dan Jones gave a “write up on Manafort” to the FBI, which, according to Strzok, appeared to be similar to a “20 page single spaced intel report cited similarly to but better than [Steele’s]” that had been seen by CBS News. Both the “focus on Manafort” and “links to Ukraine” presage the most important priorities of the Mueller investigation. This important document - and even its existence - has been rigorously concealed by both Mueller investigation and FBI.
I've edited the conclusion. On reflection, FBI had a direct channel to Ukraine SBU, which was then very much under control of US Embassy in Kyiv and the FBI. So Strzok and FBI didn't need Steele and Dan Jones as intermediaries to get Ukraine SBU reports. It remains possible and even likely that, by summer 2017, Steele's new PSS was marketing something similar, but FBI didn't need it.
According to Simpson, it was Chris Steele who hired him to search for Manafort's assets on behalf of Oleg Deripaska, who hired Steele, that began their collaboration in early 2016, before Hillary was Simpson's client. To believe that Orbis and Fusion are going to honor a firewall between client's work out of professionalism is kind of unlikely. Manafort is compromised by Deripaska due to the $19 mil debt liability. Deripaska has the chance to bond with USIC through Ohr's 2015 sanctioned operation to pull away oligarchs from Putin. Orbis is working for USIC, Deripaska and Fusion-HRC all simultaneously. This is a power broker's dream. All we need is for someone to ask Manafort what prompted him to volunteer for the Trump campaign, a position his qualified to be paid for?
Manafort emailed his Deripsaka go-between offering briefings on Trump campaign secrets to "get whole." One also needs to ask Manafort the question of how he thought Trump's internal polls and campaign strategies could be worth $19 mil to Deripaska, unless he had a buyer for that information. What if Simpson never mentioned that he and Steele were working to get Trump campaign information to Hillary? let's say Hillary had some big favors to offer friendly Russian Oligarchs once she got in office. We do know Deripsaka had been paying millions in lobbying to get a US visa for 10 years.
I think this was all ex post facto to create IC background info fed to prosecutors and judge to get a conviction on manafort because it goes farther back than that. I had a friend that died 2 weeks after his third jab a few months ago. He was in the CIA from the early 80’s to around 91 but still had friends in Washington that were connected. He was a rock ribbed conservative Republican. Loved Reagan and hated the Clinton’s. A few weeks after Trump selected Manafort as campaign manager (2016) he started emailing me telling me that Trumps selection of manafort was a signal to the Russians that he was going to be doing their bidding and sellout the US. I told him I could never believe that Trump was a bigger crook than the Clinton’s and even sent him a NYT article about how they profited from the sale of US Uranium assets to Russians. He was unimpressed with my rebuttal. Continued to insist that I “have to vote for the crook”. We talked briefly once after that and never again. I don’t know who recommended Manafort to Trump, but it almost seems to me a plan was hatched long in advance to sabotage Trump using Manafort. Then they had to create the impression that Manafort was dirty as part of the Russia hoax to get at Trump. I watched a long interview of manafort by Patrick Bet David and it does not seem to me that Manafort really understands the Deep State origins of this plan. He understands they went after him to get to Trump or at least make Trump look bad in the media, but not how far back this plan actually went.
