Fusion GPS believes FBI has a mole inside White House

Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, who sponsored the anti-Trump dossier, said in August and again January 2nd, that the FBI has a covert source inside the Trump administration who gave credence to the dossier. 

Was the source James Comey? Steve Bannon? Sarah Huckabee Sanders?The White House cook?

We don't know.

When a transcript of Simpson's secret August testimony was released this past Tuesday, the media got all hot and bothered as they saw it giving credence to the dossier whose charges of the Trump-Russia collusion have been denied and not publicly confirmed.

But immediately after the headlines went up, a person close to the firm waved off reporters. Now they said Mr. Simpson had "mischaracterized" the source. It wasn't a Trump insider, but supposedly an Australian diplomat.

The Aussie was featured in a December 30 New York Times story as the one who tipped off the FBI. Allegedly, campaign volunteer George Papadopoulos told him over drinks that a Russian-linked professor knew of "thousands" of Hillary Clinton emails in the possession of Moscow.

It's highly unlikely that Simpson would have known of the diplomat in August. But in January, he would have known of him when he wrote an op-ed in the canary cage liner known as The New York Times, which he again told of an insider source.

"As we told the Senate Judiciary Committee in August, our sources said the dossier was taken so seriously because it corroborated reports the bureau had received from other sources, including one inside the Trump camp," he wrote.

In his testimony Simpson said:

"Essentially what he told me was they had other intelligence about this matter from an internal Trump campaign source and that--that they--my understanding was that they believed Chris at this point--that they believed Chris's information might be credible because they had other intelligence that indicated the same thing and one of those pieces of intelligence was a human source from inside the Trump organization. It was someone like us who decided to pick up the phone and report something."

Simpson added that this person was not a Steele source, but an FBI one.

When a government agency tries to covertly undermine the executive branch of government, we are no better than a banana republic. This should bother and concern everyone who actually believes in our country and our Constitution, both liberals and conservatives, but since Trump is our freely elected president, it will only bother the latter.
