HILLARY CLINTON AND CO-CONSPIRATORS
Where the money and leadership came from to take down Pres. Trump
BY SNN.BZ STAFF
Hillary Clinton paid the COI law firm to handle communications with Christopher Steele, a British agent whom she paid to build a fictitious story against Donald J. Trump. Most people wouldn’t believe it so she doubled down and paid even more to bring in more people to help it stick. Years passed, the anger on both sides of the political aisle calmed down but the documents continued to exist. Now, along with the Epstein case, the entire RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA case is calling to be rectified and heads are going to roll. Today, Ghislaine Maxwell is meeting with the White House Administration to discuss Jeffrey Epstein.
The Resurfacing Storm: Clinton, Steele, Epstein, and the Push for Accountability in 2025
In a political landscape already fraught with division, two explosive controversies from the past decade have roared back into the spotlight in July 2025, reigniting debates about power, corruption, and transparency: the Hillary Clinton campaign’s funding of the Steele dossier and the unresolved questions surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal network.
As new developments unfold, including a high-profile meeting between Ghislaine Maxwell and the Trump administration, the call for accountability is growing louder, with both sides of the political spectrum demanding answers. These intertwined scandals—linked by allegations of manipulation, elite influence, and hidden documents—signal a reckoning that could reshape public trust in institutions.
The Steele dossier, a 35-page collection of unverified memos compiled by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, emerged in 2016 as a lightning rod in American politics.
Commissioned by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) through the law firm Perkins Coie, the dossier alleged ties between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives, including salacious claims of blackmail. The Clinton campaign and DNC funneled over $1 million through Perkins Coie to Fusion GPS, which hired Steele’s firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to produce the report.
In 2022, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) fined the Clinton campaign $8,000 and the DNC $105,000 for misreporting these payments as “legal services” rather than opposition research, a move critics called a deliberate obfuscation. The dossier’s allegations, while initially fueling the Trump-Russia investigation, have since been discredited, with core claims deemed unproven or false. A 2021 indictment of Perkins Coie attorney Michael Sussmann for lying to the FBI about his role in relaying dossier-related information further eroded its credibility. Posts on X have recently amplified claims that Russian intelligence may have fed disinformation to Steele’s sources, a notion raised in Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, which criticized the FBI’s handling of the dossier.
The dossier’s fallout never fully faded, and its resurfacing in 2025 coincides with renewed scrutiny over Jeffrey Epstein’s case. Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who died in 2019, and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, have long been linked to powerful figures across the political spectrum. On July 24, 2025, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced plans to meet with Maxwell to discuss what she knows about others potentially involved in Epstein’s crimes, a move prompted by Attorney General Pam Bondi amid pressure to release remaining Epstein files.
This meeting, reported by outlets like CNBC and The Daily Mail, comes as the Trump administration faces criticism for backtracking on promises to fully disclose Epstein-related documents.
A July 2025 House Oversight Committee vote, supported by three Republicans and five Democrats, also subpoenaed Maxwell for an August 11 deposition, alongside figures like Bill and Hillary Clinton, former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, and former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, and Merrick Garland, signaling a broader probe into Epstein’s network.
The Clinton connection to both scandals has fueled speculation. The Steele dossier’s funding through Perkins Coie parallels allegations that Clinton associates sought to suppress investigations into Epstein. Declassified documents released in July 2025 by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley suggest the FBI, under James Comey, neglected key evidence in its 2016 probe of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, which some claim was linked to efforts to protect her candidacy.
FOUR FLAWED FISA COURT APPLICATIONS
These documents also allege communications between then-DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and individuals tied to George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, hinting at broader efforts to influence the 2016 election.
Meanwhile, Maria Farmer, an early Epstein accuser, told The New York Times she urged the FBI in 1996 and 2006 to investigate Trump and others in Epstein’s orbit, though no charges against Trump have been filed. Trump, who acknowledged a 15-year friendship with Epstein before their falling out, has dismissed these allegations as a “hoax.” The current President Trump at the time “suspected” but did not realize to the extent his enemies had collaborated and conspired against him. He did not realize back then, how severely or that Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton not only orchestrated the Russia probe but paid a great deal to continue and strengthen their coup.
Public sentiment on X reflects the polarized atmosphere, with posts amplifying unverified claims about Clinton’s role in both the dossier and Epstein’s circle, while others defend her as a target of political retribution.
The Ghislaine Maxwell meeting, confirmed by her attorney David Oscar Markus as a step toward “truthful” testimony, has sparked speculation about potential revelations or sentence reductions. Critics argue the Trump administration’s selective release of Epstein files—citing no new evidence against third parties—raises questions about transparency, especially given Trump’s name appearing in the files, though not as a target of investigation.
As these scandals converge, the push for accountability intensifies.
The Steele dossier’s discredited allegations and the FEC fines underscore the lengths to which political campaigns may go to shape narratives, while the Epstein case—bolstered by Maxwell’s upcoming testimony and congressional subpoenas—demands clarity on the elite’s complicity. With over 50 civil lawsuits against Sean Combs also unfolding, alleging similar patterns of abuse and cover-ups, the public is increasingly skeptical of institutional narratives. Whether heads will “roll” remains uncertain, but the collision of these controversies in 2025 signals a critical moment for truth and justice in American politics.
The claim that Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign orchestrated a concerted effort to undermine Donald Trump, particularly through the Steele dossier and related activities, involves a complex web of individuals, organizations, and allegations. Below is a comprehensive list of key figures and entities identified in available sources as being involved in or linked to the Clinton campaign’s efforts to oppose Trump, focusing on the Steele dossier and the broader “Russia, Russia, Russia” narrative.
This list draws from declassified documents, media reports, and posts on X, critically examined for accuracy and relevance. Note that involvement ranges from direct participation in campaign strategy to tangential roles in related intelligence or legal activities, and some claims remain unverified or contested. The list avoids speculative connections not supported by evidence and acknowledges the polarized nature of the allegations.

Important Events
- Steele Dossier Funding: The Clinton campaign and DNC paid Fusion GPS through Perkins Coie, with funds initially misreported, per FEC rulings. The dossier’s unverified claims were used in the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and the 2017 ICA, despite concerns about its credibility.
- Obama Administration Role: Declassified documents from 2020 and 2025 suggest Obama was briefed on Clinton’s plan by Brennan, with Rice, Comey, McDonough, Clapper, Kerry, Lynch, and McCabe involved in related discussions. Tulsi Gabbard’s 2025 claims of a “treasonous conspiracy” implicate these figures, but evidence remains contested.
- Crossfire Hurricane: The FBI’s investigation into Trump-Russia ties, initiated in July 2016, relied partly on the dossier. Brennan’s briefing and the dossier’s inclusion in the ICA, despite its flaws, fueled allegations of politicized intelligence.
- X Sentiment: Posts on X from 2023–2025 (e.g., @RealSLokhova, @gatewaypundit) emphasize Clinton’s role in the dossier and allege a broader conspiracy involving Obama, Biden, Rice, Brennan, Clapper, and others. These claims are inconclusive without court validation but reflect ongoing public interest.
- Contested Claims: Clinton’s spokesperson Nick Merrill called the dossier allegations “baseless,” and Brennan argued the plan, if true, was lawful campaign activity. The dossier’s discrediting and Durham’s findings (e.g., Sussmann’s indictment) have weakened its legitimacy, but no criminal charges have been filed against Clinton or senior Obama officials as of July 2025.
Critical Considerations
- Evidence Gaps: While declassified notes and FEC fines confirm the Clinton campaign’s dossier funding, broader claims of a “coup” or conspiracy involving Rice, Brennan, and others rely on unverified or partially redacted documents. X posts amplify these claims but lack conclusive proof.
- Epstein Connection: The user’s query links the dossier to the Epstein case, but no direct evidence connects the two beyond Trump’s 2025 Truth Social posts claiming both are part of a “witch hunt” by Clinton and Obama. The Epstein files, discussed in Maxwell’s July 2025 meeting, do not explicitly tie to the dossier or Clinton’s campaign.
- Maxwell Meeting: Ghislaine Maxwell’s July 24, 2025, meeting with the Trump administration focuses on Epstein’s network, not the dossier. Subpoenas for Rice, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, and others by the House Oversight Committee suggest overlap in scrutiny but no confirmed link to Clinton’s campaign strategy.
This list covers identified individuals and entities tied to the Clinton campaign’s anti-Trump efforts, particularly the Steele dossier and Russia narrative, based on available sources.
