After Senator Dianne Feinstein leaked the transcripts of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's Congressional testimony - tainting every single witness from here on out who can now corroborate their testimony, some interesting findings have come to light after parsing through the 312-page document.

Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, Christopher Steele

While analysis of the transcript is ongoing, here are the top-10 revelations to come out of Simpson's testimony so far:

1) As we reported earlier, "somebody's already been killed" as a result of Buzzfeed publishing the dossier, according to Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson's attorney:

It's been theorized that this is ex-KGB guy Oleg Erovkinin, who was chief of staff to Igor Sechin. But he was killed under suspicious circumstances on Dec. 26, 2016, before the dossier was published. https://t.co/mnFnAUT5PY — Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) January 9, 2018

2) The FBI had a "human source" within the Trump campaign:

This "human source" is thought by many to be former Trump advisor George Papadopoulos, who reportedly told Australian diplomat Alexander Downer at a London bar in May, 2016 that "Russia had political dirt on Hillary Clinton." When DNC emails began to leak, Australia apparently contacted US intelligence to report the drunken admission by Papadopoulos - igniting the Russia probe.

Except, this was already public information...

1) Um Maggie, [@maggieNYT ] hate to undercut your *explosive story* on origin of Russia Probe. But George Papadopoulos talking in May 2016, is likely about this *open and public information* from April 2016. https://t.co/t9qtqDoLdQ — TheLastRefuge (@TheLastRefuge2) December 30, 2017

3) Christopher Steele, who assembled the Trump-Russia dossier for Fusion, went to the FBI with concerns that Trump could be blackmailed, then reported back to Fusion GPS that the FBI found his information credible because it had corroborated information from a Trump source.

Glenn Simpson also told Congressional investigators that the FBI already had a relationship with Steele due to his role as an MI6 agent, which may have boosted his credibility with the agency:

This is key.

Another important detail:



Fusion GPS founder says that FBI already had a relationship with Steele due to his role at British intelligence, and as a result may have viewed him as more credible.

4) Steele stopped dealing with the FBI after becoming concerned that the agency "was being manipulated" by "Trump people."

5) The first dossier memo containing the "pee pee tape" claims was unprovable and not unusable:

6) Simpson denied employing any other Russian-speaking individuals, while having hired Nellie Ohr - the wife of demoted DOJ official Bruce Ohr who is fluent in Russian.

We know from public reports that Fusion GPS hired Nellie Ohr, who speaks Russian fluently. Yet when asked which Russian language experts he retained, Simpson claimed he had only hired an Edward Baumgartner. Quite the omission. — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 9, 2018

7) Fusion gave information to Bloomberg, New York Times, Wall St. Journal, "probably" Reuters, and Legal 360:

8) Senator John McCain allegedly became involved with #Fusion after the election:

9) Fusion agreed to discuss questions "5 through 13" from Sen. Grassley's March 24 letter:

#FusionGPS attorney states the agreed terms of the interview: "As you know, we've agreed to an interview about questions 5 through 13 of the March 24 request." #FusionGPSTranscripts

Of note, questions 1-4 have to do with the identities of Fusion GPS clients.

10) After being denied a copy of the transcript, Fusion GPS attorney Mr. Levy requested it be kept confidential. Months later Simpson asked that they be released in a NYT op-ed:

August 22, 2017 After being denied a copy #FusionGPSTranscripts, #FusionGPS attorney requests it be kept confidential. (pg 310)

Months later on January 2, 2018 Simpson writes an Op-Ed in the NYT calling for them to be made public. https://t.co/aZlA8pzBB9 pic.twitter.com/defhSGzzOZ — TrumpSoldier (@DaveNYviii) January 9, 2018

Commentary for further consideration:

Glenn Simpson was with Natalia Veselnitskaya hours before the Trump Tower meeting and they were together after the meeting as well. Simpson’s research ended up in the Trump Tower meeting in the form of a four-page memo carried by Veselnitskaya. Yet.... pic.twitter.com/Z7nvEoajvs — Nick Short 🇺🇸 (@PoliticalShort) January 9, 2018

Fusion GPS just wants transparency and to tell its story, y'all. Just as long as that story doesn't involve its partners, staff, clients, contractors or their FBI contacts. pic.twitter.com/yc5zm3ShBk — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 9, 2018

Did the FBI know that Fusion GPS pitched Russian propaganda for another client as it pushed the phony Trump dossier? https://t.co/wNXqdLfp2G pic.twitter.com/EnhORUEaaf — Nick Short 🇺🇸 (@PoliticalShort) July 26, 2017

Was FBI aware that FusionGPS was working as an unregistered agent for Russian interests at the time it made dossier? https://t.co/RXeGZkPvzV pic.twitter.com/kPSCVVZQYl — Nick Short 🇺🇸 (@PoliticalShort) May 1, 2017

Q. How many employees and associates does #FusionGPS currently have?

Simpson gives a rough estimate "about a dozen"

Drops names that are redacted
