Judge Orders Fusion GPS To Reveal Dossier Details In BuzzFeed Lawsuit

Representatives of Fusion GPS must answer a broad array of questions about the opposition research firm’s role in creating, investigating and disseminating the infamous Steele dossier, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Court Judge Ursula Ungaro issued the decision Tuesday in a defamation lawsuit a Russian tech executive filed against BuzzFeed News, which published the dossier on Jan. 10, 2017.

The trial is scheduled to begin in Miami in November.

Ungaro ruled that attorneys for the executive, Aleksej Gubarev, can ask Fusion GPS representatives in a deposition about the firm’s dossier clients, its efforts to verify the dossier, its decision to hire dossier author Christopher Steele and its interactions with government officials and media outlets, including BuzzFeed.

So this explains why Democrats are all of a sudden trying to change the media cycle to something else. FusionGPS is now required to comply with deposition requests and to turn over detailed information on its dossier.

Of note -

“This ruling gave us everything that we had hoped for,” Evan Fray-Witzer, a lawyer for Gubarev, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.

“After a year of trying everything they could think of to avoid being deposed, Fusion is finally going to have to sit down and answer our questions,” he added.

Gubarev is mentioned in the last of 17 memos in the dossier. The final memo, dated Dec. 13, 2016, claims Gubarev’s web hosting companies used viruses and malware to infiltrate the DNC’s computer networks. The dossier also alleges Gubarev worked for Russian intelligence services.

Gubarev has vehemently denied the allegations and claims that BuzzFeed was negligent in failing to investigate the claims before publishing the dossier.

Why is this important?
Point out where Gubarev is listed in Muellers latest indictments for 12 Russians claiming they hacked the DNC.

The dossier makes the claims that is was Gubarev who hacked the DNC email system. So if he wasnt the one who hacked it then what else in the dossier is BS(aside from everything else it contains).

Steele, who is being sued by Gubarev in London, revealed in court filings in 2017 that he had not verified the final dossier memo before BuzzFeed published the document.

This also supports the fact the DOJ/FBI lied in their FISA warrant applications.

Someone is lying - Gubarev or Mueller and the implication destroys the dossier (again).

This dossier is full of it and they know it.

That's why the distraction.

That's why the witch-hunt.

That's why they're so desperating trying to make Trump look bad.

It amazes me how people are still falling for this crap.

I just added this bit to the op from the article...

That is a gaping hole in 12 Russians indicted.

Can't wait to see how Trump haters spin that.

As much as I don’t like Trump as a person it would be nice to see this end. I personally don’t think he is involved in any collusion. Some people he picked for campaign help....YES. But we need our POTUS to be doing his job and not getting in front of a mindless investigation. As a Democrat I am calling for this to end...NOW

a reply to: Allaroundyou

Unfortunately you're one of a kind.

Most of the democrats only want to see Trump down no matter if he's doing a good job or not, and no matter if there was collusion or not.

I didn’t vote for him but his numbers if sustained speak for themselves. And even though I think he is a giant turd. I do believe he wants what’s best for America. And this next part is borderline hard to say....TRUMP 2020..go get em tiger

As I have noted before -

It is not that Clinton lost that triggers Democrats. Its who she lost to that triggers them. What does it say about your candidate when they campaign on how evil Trump is only to see the people would prefer that over Hillary.

The left cant comprehend / accept the fact their positions are not supported by any majority of people. Instead of changing the policies they think its a vast right wing conspiracy to blame for their losses. The ironic part is Hillary Clintons past. While she was first lady she was directly involved in having the FBI provide access to her regarding political opponents files. This info was then placed on a server that the DNC had access to, to the benefit of their candidates. It allowed them access to restricted information to help them get elected.

She did this # then so im not sure why people cant accept the fact she is doing this same # now.

The dossier
Her private server
Using federal law enforcement to go after political opponents.
Using federal law enforcement to coverup her crimes.
Using the Clinton Foundation as a money laundering front (research Clinton and ADFA)
Using state parties to launder money back into her campaign in violation of FEC laws (she routinely violates them and has been find in the past for doing it).
Violating FEC law on the coordination of campaigns and super PACS.

So Gubarev wants to expose the people who betrayed him using a lawsuit. If Fusion GPS reveals their sources, they might be liquidated. And you are all cheering this on?

Steele is his accuser, not his sources. Think about it.

Gubarev is named in the dossier as the hacker behind the DNC bs. Muellers indictments of 12 Russians for that "hack" dont include Gubarev. The lawsuit by Gubarev speaks for itself and by extension undermines not only the dossier but Muellers SC.

FusionGPS already was forced to reveal their sources to Gubarevs lawyer - just as the article states.

So your logic is to hide this guy because he might be murdered to prevent the truth about the dossier, how buzzfeed got it, the fact it wasnt a hack etc..

This is one of the worst, convoluted excuses you have ever come up with man.

I don't give a flying eff what happens to Fusion GPS.

Hitman for hire.

en.wikipedia.org...

The company conducts open-source investigations and provides research and strategic advice for businesses, law firms and investors, as well as for political inquiries, such as opposition research.[1]

The definition of SHILL.

Pay us, and we'll create what ever effing narrative you want.

The trial is scheduled to begin in Miami in November.

...conveniently after the elections...

Conveniently after the midterms.

That party will still have Fusion GPS.

There own personal KGB.

Romney,Planned Parenthood, Prevezon.

6 years running.

In a civil case, the plaintiff needs to show that the libel has caused harm. Has Gubarev lost business? Friends? This case will go nowhere.

Work it hard. Trump is the one pulling the strings at ICE, his "own personal KGB." Fusion GPS has no power or authority. Comparing it to the KGB is like comparing someone's "Christmas newsletter" to Fox News.

Well over the last year buzzfeed has successfully fended off the deposition and disclosure of the dossier source - until yesterday. Apparently Gubarezs team presented evidence that convinced a judge so we shall see.
