Obama CIA Director: Intel Committee Needs To Look Into Clinton Campaign's Payments For Dossier [VIDEO]
 Selected Excerpt[Daily Caller] Adding further mystery to the "who knew what and when" question was the revelation on Thursday that Podesta testified to the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this month that he was not aware of who paid for the dossier. But Podesta happened to be sitting next to Marc Elias, the Perkins Coie lawyer who orchestrated the deal to pay opposition research firm Fusion GPS to conduct the investigation that led to the dossier. Elias was general counsel for the Clinton campaign and DNC. He is also Podesta’s attorney. In his interview with Panetta, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer wondered why Elias did not inform Podesta during the Senate interview that he was involved in the dossier. "It certainly makes the situation very awkward," Panetta responded. "If you’re testifying and saying you have no knowledge and the attorney sitting next to you is one of those that knew what, what was involved here, I think it does raise an issue that the committee is going to have to look at and determine just exactly what knew what," he added. Emphasis added. Posted by: Besoeker 2017-10-27 |
