Russia Scandal: Did Obama Tutor Hillary Clinton In Electoral Conspiracy 101?

Trump Dossier: With each new revelation, a picture of the Russian scandal emerges: Not only were Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee up to their necks in collusion with Russians to undermine then-candidate Donald Trump, but President Obama was in on the action, too.

Using his Obama for America campaign front, Obama paid Perkins Coie close to a million dollars, which was reportedly used to pay - who else - Fusion GPS to find salacious stuff about Obama's foe in the 2012 election, the ultra-square Mitt Romney.

"In 2012, then-President Obama had an 'enemies list' on his campaign website with the names of Mitt Romney's biggest donors," noted PJ Media's Debra Heine.

Imagine for a moment the chilling effect that would have on a political foe's campaign - calling those who fund another campaign's candidate "Enemies," with all that entails.

The Isikoff-Corn book suggests that the infamous relationship between former British spy Christopher Steele, Fusion GPS and the FBI was forged by Obama officials at the State Department - in particular former Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland, who gave permission to the FBI to talk to Steele in London, and former U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Jonathan Winer, who "Worked as a middleman to bring Mr. Steele together with Sidney Blumenthal, a fierce Hillary Clinton defender. Mr. Winer spoke with Ms. Nuland, who gave a heads up to Secretary of State John Kerry."

The notorious Trump dossier that resulted from putting Steele together with the FBI, Fusion and the Clinton campaign led to a wiretap of the Trump campaign and also now serves as the centerpiece of a year-and-a-half long Mueller investigation into Trump - one that has now spilled over its boundaries, looking into things that have nothing to do with Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

The only collusion, in short, was between the Clinton campaign, Steele and the Russians.
