Reminder: we know Comey had that Steele Dossier ***long*** before it was ever handed off to John McCain via David Kramer so McCain could bring it to Comey.
During the Aleksej Gubarev defamation case against Christopher Steele for naming him in the dossier, Kramer talked about **reporters he had never interacted with before** contacting him to see if McCain had given the dossier to Comey yet.
Why was it so **very important** to get the dossier to the FBI via a Republican Senator when they'd already had it for months?

And media reporters are eagerly waiting for that handoff?
This was a coordinated effort to **hide** where the dossier and it's bogus info was actually coming from.

KRAMER ADMITS THIS IN HIS DEPOSITION.
Why are they suddenly launching a NEW military-themed smear against President Trump?

Because I think they caught wind something related to this gambit involving having McCain bring the dossier to the FBI is dropping soon.
This is why reporters Kramer had never met were calling him up about whether McCain had given the dossier to Comey yet.

THEY HAD TO WAIT TO LAUNCH THEIR PREPARED NARRATIVE UNTIL IT HAPPENED.

I discussed this in my followup column back in March of 2019. https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-high-comedy-of-spygate_2846355.html
Here's Kramer testifying about reporters he'd never had contact before calling him up to ask if McCain had given Comey the dossier yet.

Mother Jones, The Guardian, ABC News & WaPo all contacted him about if McCain had made the handoff yet.
In a minute, you're going to see where I'm going with this.

Up until the very end of 2018, the plotters had had no problem admitting Steele played a role in getting the spy warrant on Carter Page.

THEN SUDDENLY THE NARRATIVE DRAMATICALLY SHIFTED.
Only after evidence of Hillary's and Fusion GPS's role in the Steele dossier started coming out in very late 2017/early 2018, the narrative suddenly shifted.

Suddenly, we were being told the Steele dossier played LITTLE IF ANY ROLE AT ALL in the Carter Page FISA warrant.
I ***watched*** sudden, dramatic narrative shift in real time as it occurred in very early 2018.
"You thought the **Steele Dossier** played a key role in launching that surveillance operation targeting the Trump presidential campaign? Ha ha you stupid winguts! It was actually this **idiot** @GeorgePapa19 bragging in a bar to Alexander Downer! Get it right, you losers!"
The plotters involved in this RussiaGate Hoax inside the federal agencies & the DNC Media Complex **sold this new narrative** just as enthusiastically as they could for more than two years.

@DevinNunes especially was attacked repeatedly for 'getting this wrong'.
Question:

WHY in midstream, after a year, did the people involved in this hoax suddenly desperately try this stupid narrative switch from Steele dossier to PapaD talking to Downer?
MY theory: their cover story for the Crossfire Hurricane investigation **continuing on** into the Trump transition & Presidency, was the Steele dossier that came from a **foreign intelligence source** which they only got in DECEMBER 2016 from GOP Senator McCain, was blown.
There is a **reason** the plotters & their enablers in Congress like Adam Schiff & Mark Warner were insisting for years the Steele Dossier was hardly used if at all for the Trump campaign spying when they knew ALL ALONG what the truth was.
The original fake story, that Steele's fake dossier info was 'raw intelligence' from a foreign intel service needed to be switched out with a foreign diplomat alerting the FBI after hearing 'alarming things' from PapD in London.
By early 2018 they'd realized the original cover story about the Steele info being 'raw intel' from a foreign intel service was SIMPLY NOT GOING TO WORK.

The Steele dossier was BLOWN.

There for, Crossfire Hurricane MUST BE GIVEN a new predicate.

So they came up with one.
As I discussed in this recent column, the FBI **entrapping** PapaD by sending him an OCONUS LURE named Professor Joseph Mifsud, then having FBI informant Stefan Halper record PapaD repeating the offer of Russian help was "Plan A".

But Plan A didn't work. https://uncoverdc.com/2020/08/31/the-steele-dossier-was-plan-b/
Despite several meetings during which he surreptitiously recorded both PapaD & Carter Page, Halper couldn't lead them into saying anything incriminating enough for a surveillance warrant.

They wasted the entire summer trying this strategy.
It wasn't until very late Sept. it was suddenly decided that they would make use of the Steele Dossier instead to get the surveillance warrant.

So yes, **originally**, they planned to use PapaD on tape as the predicate for the spy warrant on the Trump campaign.
Only when Halper failed after multiple attempts to get either PapaD or Page to say anything incriminating on tape [in fact, both men made **exculpatory statements!] did the FBI CH team throw it's hands up and say "Crap! We're gonna have to use the dossier!"

So they did.
But to successfully pull off using the dossier to get a surveillance warrant to spy on the Trump campaign, they had to engage in a sh*t-ton of fraud, hiding exculpatory evidence and, in at least one case, altering evidence.
Once the **truth** about who paid for the Steele dossier started to come out in very late 2017, the fact it **wasn't** raw foreign intel but it instead came from paid flacks working for Hillary **disqualified** the dossier from being a legitimate intel predicate for CH.
Therefore, ANOTHER predicate had to be substituted.

So they simply switched from claiming the Steele Dossier got them the Carter Page warrant to saying it was GP talking to Downer in a London wine room.
But here's where I've been going with this now rather long thread:

DURHAM HAS TRACKED THIS ALL DOWN NOW.

Remember: the LEAKS of classified information were used to drive many of these fake narrative-switching stories.
SOMETHING IS ABOUT TO DROP.

And I think it has to be something involving the original cover story they attempted to float to hide the Steele Dossier's true origins.

And McCain was right in the middle of that.
The fact they even **came up with a cover story** to hide where the Steele dossier's info came from **demonstrates beyond a doubt** these people involved knew ALL ALONG this was a hoax.

Keep that in mind over the coming days.
