State Department Official Helped Christopher Steele With Business Concerns, Emails Show

By: Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, June 10, 2019:

Story continues below advertisement
  • State Department emails show that former State official Jonathan Winer facilitated meetings between dossier author Christopher Steele and multiple private consulting firms.
  • Winer served as Steele’s main point of contact to the State Department, and was the official responsible for disseminating the anti-Trump dossier through Foggy Bottom.
  • Winer’s emails were obtained through a lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch on behalf of The Daily Caller News Foundation.

A State Department official who played a key role in handling the Steele dossier facilitated meetings between Christopher Steele and private consulting firms, according to State Department emails obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Jonathan Winer, a longtime associate of former Secretary of State John Kerry, set up a meeting in late 2014 with an executive at APCO Worldwide, an international consulting firm where Winer worked before and after his most recent stint at the State Department.

Winer also attempted to set up a meeting in November 2014 between Steele, a former MI6 officer, and executives at McLarty Associates, a consultancy founded by Bill Clinton’s first chief of staff, Mack McLarty. He also put Steele in contact with a former ambassador to Morocco and APCO partner related to a “Morocco immediate need.”

Another email shows that Winer gave Steele and his business partner, Christopher Burrows, advice on how to handle a commercial dispute in Mongolia that involved the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

The State Department released the emails as part of a lawsuit that Judicial Watch filed on behalf of The Daily Caller News Foundation. The lawsuit seeks Winer’s correspondence related to Steele, as well as the 100-plus intelligence reports that Steele reportedly provided Winer on issues in Russia and Ukraine.

Winer has previously acknowledged his role in passing information from Steele to his State Department colleagues. But the newly released emails suggest he played another role — that of facilitator for Steele’s business interests.

How come Judicial Watch are the only ones suing for documents? Where’s the DOJ? Are French Republicans hiding under their desks?

The GOP with few exceptions, are busy slithering around in their Depends.
The GOP does NOT support Trump. Trump has some good strategists but Trump needs good OPERATIONS people to make sure his policies happen, aren’t ignored or thwarted. The swamp is deep and wide.

OK, well and good, but where is the news regarding Winer’s arrest, trial, and, execution dates for treason?

Further, during the Paris Peace Talks to end the Vietnam War, John Kerry twice met with the enemy North Vietnamese delegation while still a member of the officer corps of the US Naval Reserve, an act defined as treason.

Kerry has alway been a traitor to the United States and its people,and has wrought more damage and brought more death than any possible act of Benedict Arnold. What is most important is that Kerry reflects the very essence of the Commiecrat party

The tricks are as dirty as ever they was for any President before him and that swamp still needs badly draining.

The Department Of State is at the heart of the swamp. They don’t call it “foggy bottom” for nothing. It is populated by the most extreme Commiecrats imaginable with thousands of communists embedded within its ranks. It is safe to estimate that at least 50% of its employees work daily to undermine our President. They are truly the enemy within. Just last week US embassies throughout the world flew the “gay pride” rag alongside the Stars and Stripes in direct defiance of Trump’s and Pompeo’s order not to do this despicable act. This act by itself demonstrates the type of sick, degenerates that populate the Department Of State.

Only one yr before I chose to just leave my earlier work and I am extremely happy currently…. I began doing the job via the internet, for a firm I uncovered over the internet, only a few hr on daily basis, and I bring home more than I did on my office workplace job… My pay-check for prior thirty day period was 9,000 US dollars… The most advantageous thing regarding this is the additional spare time I managed to get for my children…and that the single requirement for this job is basic typing and accessibility to internet service… I am also capable to put in quality time with my relatives and buddies and also take care of my little kids and also going on holiday vacation with them really consistently. Don’t avoid this opportunity and be sure to take action quick. Try it out, what it’s about… designerhabitable.am-strand.de
