Glen Simpson co-founder of Fusion GPS pleaded the fifth in front of the GOP-led House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committee yesterday. This is after he willingly appeared previously at three other congressional committees. Two of which, already published transcripts of his testimony. (Definitely worth reading BTW). It was obvious to Simpson this last attempt by the GOP was not to get to the truth of what happened during the 2016 election, but rather to smear and go after anyone involved with the Trump Dossier. So rather than to play their game, he pleaded the fifth. Naturally reporters were waiting outside, waiting to pounce, including Fox News’ chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge. And let me tell you, that her and her Fox narrative got smacked down bigtime, by Simpson’s lawyer. It was just beautiful. The best part was when he mentions four people in the Dossier have been indicted for crimes, and that the overall summation of the Dossier, that Russia tried to help Trump win was already proven correct.
Breaking News,… Rachel Maddow shares video of Joshua Levy, counsel for Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS, pointing out to a Fox News reporter that the big picture of the Christopher Steele dossier, was that Russia, interfered in the U.S. election to help Donald Trump win and has been since validated by U.S. intelligence…. Smackdown of Fox News reporter here.
Here is how Fox has spun it with their smacked down reporter… Fast forward to 1:10 in.
