Long story short, Sean Hannity conspired with Julian Assange to illegally obtain dirt on Warner/Dem senators. How do we know this? When Hannity's account was down a fake Hannity account messaged Assange who replied that he had dirt on Warner. Isn't it odd how this dirt ended on on Fox "News"?
EXCLUSIVE Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee who has been leading a congressional investigation into President Trump's alleged ties to Russia, had extensive contact last year with a lobbyist for a Russian oligarch who was offering Warner access to former British spy and dossier author Christopher Steele, according to text messages obtained exclusively by Fox News.
"We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country," Warner texted the lobbyist, Adam Waldman, on March 22, 2017.
"I'm in," Waldman, whose firm has ties to Hillary Clinton, texted back to Warner.
Steele famously put together the anti-Trump dossier of unverified information that was used by FBI and Justice Department officials in October 2016 to get a warrant to conduct surveillance of former Trump adviser Carter Page. Despite the efforts, Steele has not agreed to an interview with the committee.

This is the Fox spin... I feel like I need to justify posting something from Fox. I'm posting because we need to know their spin and because these texts ARE news.

Um, HOLY SHIT But remember a week ago when Assange tried to DM Hannity with dirt on Mark Warner Guess where "leaked texts" from Mark Warner just showed up
Fox News is working with Julian Assange to disrupt the 2018 election and I dunno how else you can explain this
"There are brand new text messages obtained exclusively by Fox News..." Yea, I wonder how these texts were obtained

This is the same network that for the past week has been claiming that a lawfully obtained FISA warrant against Carter Page was a violation of his privacy

(16,420 posts)This part of the Fox faux scandal seems to have been missed. Deripaska asked for immunity, didn't get it. didn't testify.

How do I put it... the HUGE news here is not the text which is perfectly fine. It is WALDMAN. By all means by the looks of this, Waldman HAS FLIPPED. For those who don't know Waldman WORKS FOR DERIPASKA.
2. So if these texts are real? Waldman's life has been put in VERY serious danger. This is why Warner is telling him he needs to be careful. I'm not sure what ridic story Fox is trying to sell, but they shot themselves in the foot BIG time with this.
3. On top of shooting themselves in the foot and showing how Warner is a patriot trying to help the US by any means possible, Fox now can be DIRECTLY accused of actively interfering with an ongoing investigation AND gravely endangering a possible witness.
4. Let me go over this again: I've known stuff about Deripaska-Waldman-Manafort that I can't get into for MONTHS. Waldman WORKS FOR DERIPASKA. So Waldman not only has nothing to do with Steele per se, but IF he did, it could ONLY be bc he flipped & spoke with him.
5. I think Fox may be making a HUGE mistake bc they don't know what they're dealing with. At all. Adam Waldman is a DC lobbyist who works for Deripaska. There could be someone with same name at FBI that they must of course exploit for this.
6. And it's not even that bc they clearly say they're talking about Adam Walmdan, the lobbyist. It's AMAZING how they say "with ties to Clinton" when dude HAS BEEN WORKING FOR DERIPASKA. Lobbyists have ties to everyone & their mother but this guy WORKS FOR OLEG DERIPASKA.
7. Waldman would be a BIG witness for this case bc of what he knows. I can't disclose details, I really can't, but pls believe me when I tell you that Waldman would be privy to details that most would NOT be able to confirm at all, from BOTH US & RU side.
8. From what I gather (I absolutely refuse to read Fox news) these NUTJOBS who are completely unaware of what Waldman actually does, are trying to make it seem like "oh he has ties to Clinton so he's doing this in partisan effort to discredit Trump?". Which is FALSE!
9. I will repeat again: I thought Fox may have made a mistake with the name but NO, this is Adam Waldman the lobbyist who works for DERIPASKA. He knows a HELL of a lot about what went on.
10. Now Fox with this absolutely CRAZY reporting, may have just put him in VERY VERY grave danger, bc Russians aren't exactly nice to those who talk and reveal their wrongdoing.
11. Warner is not telling Waldman to be careful out of "oh this is wrong", but out of "take all necessary precautions bc you're dealing with Russians". Can't ever believe Fox news but this is a new LOW even for them.
12. To top it off, Marco Rubio just shot down the story himself. Can't believe I have to quote Rubio.
13. Now I can't help but think that bc , as the tweet I quoted at the very beginning says, Assange claimed to have "dirt" on Warner and FOX now has it, Fox is doing this ON PURPOSE. This MAY well be a RU hit job that Assange was on (OUT Waldman!), and Fox delivered.
14. Mind you, I do NOT know whether the above is accurate re: Fox doing it on purpose. BUT... We all know for a fact Assange claimed to have dirt on Warner and to contact him (remember) and now this is on Fox news? A little too coincidental.
15. Keep a close eye on this in coming days but.. if Waldman decided to cooperate with US authorities, then this IS done on purpose to out him, and Mueller has stuff people can't even DREAM of. /END
