Russia Narrative Is Cynical Manipulation

What has been inelegantly termed the "Deep State" is really this: shadow power exercised by a small number of individuals from media, business, government and the intelligence community, foisting provocative and cynically false manipulations on the public.

President Theodore Roosevelt once cautioned: "Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics, is the first task."

The distractions no longer can mask these "Unholy alliances." The wife of a central architect of the Department of Justice's "Russia narrative" secretly worked for the dossier-peddling Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson attempted - according to his own congressional admissions - to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election and its aftermath, to attack Russia and to "Embarrass" me and cause trouble for the company I founded.

World War II hero and former U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye once observed, in a different context: "There exists a shadowy government with its own fundraising mechanism." Wagging the dog costs money.

Who is the "Funding mechanism" of this "Shadowy government?".

Fusion GPS's Simpson, in a New York Times op-ed describing his own Judiciary Committee testimony, claimed a neoconservative website "And the Clinton campaign" were "The Republican and Democratic funders of our Trump research." The Judiciary Committee's Sen. Dianne Feinstein then unilaterally released, over the objection of committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, Simpson's testimony to "Set the record straight." Fusion GPS "Commended Senator Feinstein for her courage."

On March 16, 2017, Daniel Jones - himself a team member of Fusion GPS, self-described former FBI agent and, as we now know from the media, an ex-Feinstein staffer - met with my lawyer, Adam Waldman, and described Fusion as a "Shadow media organization helping the government," funded by a "Group of Silicon Valley billionaires and George Soros." My lawyer testified these facts to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Nov. 3.
