Democratic Sen. Mark Warner texted with Russian oligarch lobbyist in effort to contact dossier author Christopher Steele

EXCLUSIVE – Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has been leading a congressional investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia, had extensive contact last year with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who was offering Warner access to former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, according to text messages obtained exclusively by Fox News.

"We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country," Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam Waldman, on March 22, 2017.

"I'm in," Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.

Steele famously put together the anti-Trump dossier of unverified information that was used by FBI and Justice Department officials in October 2016 to get a warrant to conduct surveillance of former Trump adviser Carter Page. Despite the efforts, Steele has not agreed to an interview with the committee.

There could be video of Hillary taking a sack of money from Putin, while blowing Lenin's corpse and not a thing will come of it.

Senate and House...make for different top guys

[realscu]

Nothing is collapsing.

For 8 years people predicted that Holder, Louis Lerner, Hillary, Huma and Obama would be arrested.

The only two arrested have been republicans (Manafort and Flynn)

The Dems will win the house come November. Party is far from dead.

Negative coverage of Trump 24 hours a day will put out a good voter turnout for the low IQ savages.

May not be collapsing, but they sure are bankrupt, morally and monetarily.

The ENTIRE democratic party collapsed when the witch got her ass kicked.

Now, they're just mopping up.

I'm not convinced of that at all.
Senate maybe, House I don't think so.

Don't listen to predictions and polls either. They couldn't predict Trump winning. I think most getting info online now so even with the corrupt media working hard, dems may not win.

Trump is now at 48% approval which is exactly where Obama was at the same time and with daily attacks by the "press". The numbers for the midterms have swung about 6 points in the GOP favor also and when the tax cuts kick in it should get better; also the scandals are being reported on too.

They're making new voters.  They'll be ready by 2020 if Trump doesn't get immigration reform done.

Justice Department’s No. 3 official, who’s in the potential running to take over Russia probe, reportedly steps down

Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand is planning to step down, according to sources.

Rachel Brand, the Justice Department official in the pipeline to potentially assume oversight of the Mueller investigation, is expected to step down after just nine months on the job, according to a report.

Brand, who's the department's No. 3 as associate attorney general, has come into the public spotlight in recent weeks since she's the most senior official under Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Rosenstein currently oversees Robert Mueller's investigation into possible collusion between President Trump's campaign and the Russian government, and Trump has flouted the possibility of firing him. If Trump followed through on firing Rosenstein, Brand would take over responsibility for Mueller's expanding probe.

But, amid Trump's recent attacks against the Justice Department, two people familiar with the matter told the New York Times that Brand plans to resign.

Trump wants to meet with Mueller despite lawyers' warnings

Brand's leaving for a job as general counsel in the private sector, the sources said. She has held consecutive Justice Department positions over the past three administrations.

In her current position, Brand reports directly to Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who recused himself from the Russia probe last year.

Trump has ramped up his criticism of the Justice Department and the FBI in recent weeks, demanding that officials face consequences for the "disgrace" they've supposedly caused.

Lawyers urge President Trump to not meet with Robert Mueller

The President's harsh rebukes came in light of the release of a controversial GOP-penned memo that alleges that Justice Department and FBI officials used unverified information to obtain a surveillance warrant on ex-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Brand, who currently oversees the department's civil rights and antitrust divisions, has become embroiled in the scandal, as she is among a number of senior officials who urged Trump to not declassify the four-page memo, citing "grave concerns" about its accuracy.

The NY Times is reporting (more or less) that the FBI paid some Russian clowns $100Gs for info to make Trump look bad. Fox News just did that story, plus another wrinkle in the whole subject, something about other Trump-associated surveillance. And even the reporter doing the Fox story admitted that it could be "confusing."

BERLIN — After months of secret negotiations, a shadowy Russian bilked American spies out of $100,000 last year, promising to deliver stolen National Security Agency cyberweapons in a deal that he insisted would also include compromising material on President Trump, according to American and European intelligence officials.

The cash, delivered in a suitcase to a Berlin hotel room in September, was intended as the first installment of a $1 million payout, according to American officials, the Russian and communications reviewed by The New York Times. The theft of the secret hacking tools had been devastating to the N.S.A., and the agency was struggling to get a full inventory of what was missing.

Yes, indeed it could.

WHICH tells me that all this crap may just prove to be in the DEMOCRATS' FAVOR.

Everyone knows that the American attention span is shorter than what it took to type this post, and the Democrats are fully aware of this, and have used it numerous times in the past.

Perhaps the Dems are, in fact, allowing a lot of this to get out (true or not) and hoping at some point that NO ONE, especially the voters, will have ANY INTEREST in seeing any prosecution because no one really understands it....or cares anymore.

In other words, the Dems are betting on the old saying (initiated by Democrats), "Don't confuse me with the facts...."
