President Trump: Obama ‘Had to Know’ of ‘Setup’ to Block His Presidential Bid

More documents released into Democrats’ spying scheme.

WASHINGTON—Daniel Silverberg, then-House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer’s national security adviser, coordinated “work on Russia dossier materials provided by Christopher Steele” with Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Envoy for Libya Jonathan Winer, according to newly released documents made public June 12 by Judicial Watch.

Obama State At Center of Anti-Trump Coup Cabal

New Emails Show Obama State Department’s Role in Anti-Trump Coup Cabal

John Kerry, President Obama’s secretary of state, seems to be having trouble staying within the legal bounds of the Logan Act, so it’s not surprising that his State Department lieutenants were getting their hands dirty in the conspiracy to bring down Donald Trump.

We now received more evidence of this anti-Trump conspiracy. With The Daily Caller News Foundation, we just released 16 pages of documents revealing senior State Obama officials – Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Special Coordinator for Libya Jonathan Winer – coordinated with incoming House Majority Whip Steny Hoyer’s (D-MD) national security advisor, Daniel Silverberg, to work on Russia dossier information provided by Christopher Steele.

Steele was surreptitiously paid by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to create the infamous anti-Trump dossier used to justify a series of FISA spy warrants targeting Carter Page. Winer is a former Obama State Department deputy assistant secretary who was implicated in working with Steele and Clinton associate Sidney Blumenthal to circulate the anti-Trump dossier.

We obtained the documents in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed on April 25, 2018, on behalf of ourselves and The Daily Caller News Foundation against the State Department after it failed to respond to three separate FOIA requests (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of State (No. 1:18-cv- 00968)). The lawsuit seeks:

  • All records of communications between State Department officials, including former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, on the one hand, and British National Christopher Steele and/or employees or contractors of Steele’s company, Orbis Business Intelligence, on the other hand.
  • All records and/or memoranda provided by Christopher Steele and/or his firm Orbis Business Intelligence or by others acting on Steele’s/Orbis’s behalf, to State Department officials.
  • Any and all records in the custody of the State Department related to the provision of documents to British national Christopher Steele and/or his firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, or the receipt of documents from Steele or his firm.  Time period is January 20, 2009 through the present.
  • All records created in 2016 by Jonathan M. Winer relating to research compiled by Christopher Steele.

Here is some of what we learned from these documents.

In an email exchange on September 19, 2016, Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS asks Winer if he is “in town?” Winer replies “For a couple of hours.”

In an email exchange on September 26, 2016, Winer emails Nuland asking for “15 minutes of your time today if possible,” to discuss a “Russia related issue” from his “old O [Orbis Business Intelligence] friend.” Orbis was co-founded and run by Russia dossier author Christopher Steele. Nuland’s assistant suggests a secure call for the discussion and Winer asks his aide to postpone a meeting he was to have with the State Department Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR) to accommodate.

In an exchange beginning in November 2016, Hoyer top-aide Silverberg emails a “thank you” to Nuland, calling her a “warrior on these issues” and stating that he looks forward to pursuing “some of the things we discussed yesterday, albeit on the system integrity side.” Nuland forwards this email to Winer who adds that he wants to talk about “some new info.”

I’ve reached out per our call yesterday. Please call me to talk further at your early convenience. Weekend best but can also talk Monday.

In a November 2016 exchange with the subject line “Would like to catch up on something at your convenience,” Winer reaches out to Nuland for a meeting, which gets booked in the Truman building on November 28. 

In an email exchange dated December 12, 2016, Winer requests a brief meeting with Nuland saying, “Something new has come up of which I want you to be aware.” Nuland replies, “Ok,” and adds her assistant to the exchange. Winer’s assistant then emails Nuland’s assistant looking for a time to meet.

In February 2018, Winer wrote an op-ed claiming anti-Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal approached him with separate dossiers. Winer wrote: “In the summer of 2016, Steele told me that he had learned of disturbing information regarding possible ties between Donald Trump, his campaign and senior Russian officials.” Also, “While talking about that hacking, Blumenthal and I discussed Steele’s reports. He showed me notes gathered by a journalist I did not know …”

Christopher Bedford, editor in chief of The Daily Caller News Foundation, had this to say about these documents: “Every day of digging reveals more and more political collaboration on this hit job, and at the highest levels. While so much of the media is content to chase Russian conspiracies, The Daily Caller News Foundation and the fantastic lawyers at Judicial Watch are going to keep doing the hard work of holding power accountable.”

Here’s what else we’re pursuing in this area:

We recently released 43 pages of documents from the State Department revealing that its “Special Coordinator for Libya,” Jonathan Winer, played a key role in facilitating Steele’s access to other top government officials, prominent international business executives. Winer was even approached by a movie producer about making a movie about the Russiagate targeting of President Trump.

We previously released two sets of heavily redacted State Department documents showing classified information was researched and disseminated to multiple U.S. senators by the Obama administration immediately prior to President Donald Trump’s inauguration. The documents reveal that among those receiving the classified documents were Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD), and Sen. Robert Corker (R-TN).

We are also suing the State Department for communications between Nuland and employees of Fusion GPS, as well as top ranking Department of Justice, FBI, and State Department officials.

These new documents further confirm that the Obama State Department was a way station for Steele’s smear dossier and other anti-Trump activism

Trump is on it.

Trump: Obama ‘Had to Know’ of ‘Setup’ to Block His Presidential Bid

By Pam Keyes, June 16, 2019:PAM KEY16 Jun 20192386

Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” President Donald Trump said former President Barack Obama “had to know” about FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page working against him being elected.

Trump said, “There was no crime. There was no collusion. The big thing is collusion. Now, there’s no collusion. That means they set — it was a setup. In my opinion, and I think it’s going to come out.”

Stephanopoulos asked, “You clearly believe there was a group of people working against you. Do you think President Obama was behind it?”

Trump said, “I would say that he certainly must have known about it because it went very high up in the chain. But you’re going to find that out. I’m not going to make that statement quite yet. But I would say that President Obama had to know about it.”

When asked if Obama spied on his campaign, Trump said, “I don’t know. But hopefully, we’re gonna find out.”

But the Negro was also illegal to be up there as a foreigner and should have been arrested on day 1 BEFORE he put his dirty shoes on the desk.

This is why you need to follow the law and proves you are WAYCIST because he might be a Negro.

Valerie Jarrett,the pretend negro and embedded Iranian spy best known as the “Puppet Mistress” was and remains the key player in anything Obama. She was and remains a direct conduit to the mad mullahs, the global elitist donors who financed Obama and continue to finance the attacks on the Trump Administration. She has all the information that will ever be required to indict Obama, Hillary, Kerry and a whole host of Commiecrats. She needs to be the number one target of any investigation.

Obama is the snakes head! He knew everything regarding bringing down Trump. Biden said they had a clean administration. What about Fast and Furious, riots of blacks against whites, Muslims causing terrorist acts in our country, $150 billion that Congress refused to give Iran, but that bastard did it anyway and gave them our drone. He allowed the Muslims to take over and kill Yazides and others until Russia stepped in and Trump. He’s the opposite of Trump. He was a good speaker and lied, bringing my country almost to a third world country. Should I go on?

Obama? What about the tag team anti Trump Koch brothers and Soros? These corrupted globalist billionaires were always fronting their best Player and thought it was Obama to be followed by Hillary – they didn’t expect that a Billionaire who had detected their treachery would undermine their DEM/RINO machine which had failed to conquer America, and would be President whose next move would be to drive the Bandits out of Dodge.

In japan there has always been a problem with Billionaires secretly staffing and training their own private army’s. Which Billionaires in America have secretly staffed and trained up their own private army? A private army used to arm and lead illegal immigrants against conservative leadership across the nation. The rabid TDS MSM, Hollywood and the likes of Bloomberg, Soros and Koch brothers makes armed revolt the greatest risk it has ever been.

22 Dem Candidates for 2020 says loud and clear that Dems have no coherent leadership and cannot win against Trump. The long game Fascist Billionaires are Old and have run out of time – they want globalism in their lifetime and a Patriotic America lead by Donald Trump is in the way – more than ever before.

I’m not very optimistic about the overwhelming evidence against the Obama Crime Organization producing the type of justice it deserves. Everything hinges on AG Barr’s dedication to law and order and also on the people who voted for Trump in the first election. The Republicans/Conservatives do not seem to possess the enthusiasm for justice that they should. This attitude could give the Democrats the presidency and destroy the country at the same time.

The forgoing means that the coup conspiracy started long before the election. The conspiracy started when they knew that genuinely honest polling by Rasmussen showed that Hillary absolutely would not be able to win. They knew that Obama’s appointees and destructive policies (a win for Islam) could only be continued under Hillary.
