Someone Killed in Connection to Trump Dossier ??

[Trapper John]

An attorney for the co-founder of opposition research firm Fusion GPS revealed during a closed-door interview this summer with congressional investigators that “somebody's already been killed” as a result of the publication of the anti-Trump dossier.

The statement was contained in a 312-page transcript of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's August interview with committee investigators, released unilaterally Tuesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.

The release itself provoked controversy, with an aide to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, calling it “confounding” for Feinstein to drop the transcript in the “middle of an ongoing investigation.”

Among the many revelations in the document, though, is the claim from Simpson's attorney that someone died because the dossier -- which was commissioned by Fusion GPS -- was publicly released.

Smoke - no fire - unless the person knew of HRC's involvement.

Do we know if the deceased was any relation to Vince Foster?

Erovinkin?

Be hard to pin that one on Trump.

Two things I found most interesting in all of this (and there is a lot of shit here to sift through):

1. Why would Feinstein release the transcript of the closed door testimony? Could it then become inadmissible in a subsequent investigation? Hear-say? Fruit of the poisoned tree? Maybe one of the legal eagles can opine on that?

2. Apparently there is a "source" within the Trump campaign that corroborated some of the dossier content to the FBI. Frankly, I don't believe that for a minute and think it is far more likely that this "source" either doesn't exist or is a red-herring/straw man to justify the FBI's use of the dossier to obtain a FISA warrant.

I was thinking more along the lines of Seth Rich. The DNC staffer who was shot while being mugged although nothing was stolen, so, just plain murdered. Another random death. Like so many people associated with the Lady Bathory.

Bingo. The source of that "source" remark are those who are, themselves, suspect as undermining anything not HRC. They give comments like that to those on the hill and let the congresskritters do the rest of the dance for them.
