According to recently unsealed testimony, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, told the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017 that both he and Hillary Clinton were aware that her campaign had purchased opposition research on Donald Trump, hoping to uncover ties between him and Russia during the 2016 election.
Podesta’s testimony is “the most direct acknowledgment about what Donald Trump’s opponent knew in real-time about the effort that ultimately became known as the Steele dossier,” notes John Solomon of Just The News. According to Podesta, Hillary likely didn’t know specifically that Fusion GPS or former British spy Christopher Steele were involved

From the article: "According to recently unsealed testimony, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, told the House Intelligence Committee in December 2017 that both he and Hillary Clinton were aware that her campaign had purchased opposition research on Donald Trump, hoping to uncover ties between him and Russia during the 2016 election."
And this comes from the "Share the Wealth" party. . .they purchased opposition research. How much and, truthfully, why don't they spend the money on more productive things?

We've all known this for years. However having Podesta say it, i seals it as truth because a loyal dem is ratting out another. Poetic justice.
They are all being exposed and neutered, they can shut up and try to fade away, or speak up and be in the spotlight... What will they do???? ha! ha! ha!

There is nothing new in this except the attempt to blame it on her campaign workers . Certainly she knew, she was the driving force behind it.

Old news. That's why the champagne started popping open at the DNC on the afternoon of the election. I wonder when the name of McCain, the delivery boy, will be mentioned?

What's 'likely' about it?
One hallmark of the left, especially lackeys working for Dems, is their constant claims of omniscience. Joe Lockhart used to constantly claim that Obama 'didn't know about XYZ.'
But knowledge is finite even for presidents. I can ask you what you know about the Himalayas, about Japanese baseball, about the kangaroo rat. But it would take a thousand lifetimes to guess or identify what you don't know.
These claims of mind-reading - always made after the fact, of course - are the weakest and most transparent form of evasion and protection of the boss.

He didn't admit to jack squat. The term "opposition research" obscures everything. Candidates are supposed to research their opponents, it's an important part of the process. We should have known much more about Obama but the GOP failed miserably aided by the cheer leading media.
When the quest to find dirt on Trump came up empty and they transitioned to the manufacture of a salacious, slanderous fictitious narrative it ceased to be opposition research. I don't see Podesta acknowledging that phase.

Ah!, but sweet Loretta knew from the Phoenix Tarmac Meeting with Bubba that Hillary was having "Server" problems in Chappaqua... and we don't mean the Butler.

IF we are ever going to get to the bottom of this, President Trump must be re-elected.
NONE of this would have ever come to light if Hitlery had been elected.
Justice is NOT blind as we would like to believe-- the demonrat socialists will COVER UP and CYA when they are in the Executive branch, and destroy our Republic.
The GOP/RINOs are a bunch of back stabbers and Lindsay Grahamnesty has taken NO ACTION.
He does, however, show his face on Fox and every Sunday show he can be on, and they only have republicans if they are turn coats.

This was leaked back in 2017 when Juan spoke to the House.
I'm much more interested in seeing Valerie Jarret's signature on the memo directing Susan Rice to sign the FISA warrants on Flynn.

Somewhere in there should be some mention of paper delivery boy John back stabber RINO McCain retrieving the Steel pee pee script. We all knew this a long time ago but to have it on record is a good thing.

Podesta's too smart to say anything that would be damning to Cankles, because he's seen what happens to people who even think about ratting her out!

The whole scam was undertaken because they all expected Hillary to win in 2016, and it would all be covered up.
I believe the Comey's, Strzok, Page, Pientka and others knew the Clinton's rewarded sacrifice and loyalty with plum political positions (quid pro quo), so they acted accordingly.
Remember, it was John Podesta who clicked on the Phishing link that exposed his computer, and those of thousands of others at the DNC.
His brother suddenly resigned his powerful lobbying position when Manafort was being taken down for not registering as a foreign lobbyist.

Huh? I read that testimony and I didn't see that admission at all. In fact, he kept denying any knowledge of the dossier until after it was in the news. I am going to reread it.

Of course she's dirty, from her toenails to her topknot. But is any of that indictable?

To #12, did you see Ms. Lindsay on Justice with Judge Jeannine this past Saturday? She kept trying to ask him about Obama's role in the scandal and he would never answer her or mention his name. What a loser. Talk, talk, talk, hearings, etc., etc. but he hasn't done anything in 3 1/2 years.

Nothing done illegally on the PIAPS behalf is unknown to her, and can be fatal to the perpetrator if her name is invoked in a criminal investigation. Bye Bye Podesta?
