It's Official - Clinton Campaign & DNC Paid For Trump Dossier
2017-10-24
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.

Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.

After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to the people.

#4  And don't forget how 0bumhole spread the use of any information far and wide to make it more difficult to figure out what happened.

It's collusion, too.

#3  Two major elements in this story of deep corruption: a) this was the basis for the approach to the FISA court in order to spy on Trump's campaign; and b) the FBI participated in financing the "research" after Clinton and the DNC had gotten it going.

One question: could Comey have attempted to use that "dossier" to embarrass/blackmail Trump?

Another question: the GPS dossier had a pre-Russia phase, paid by some GOPe character(s). Was it Bush or McCain? Where did Jeb's 100 campaign million go? Trump's recent warning to McCain, about fighting back, may not be innocuous, at this time.

Bonus question: given Mueller role in the Uranium One cover-up, does he feel he could now exonerate himself by pursuing Clinton-Obama-DNC corruption?

#2  Little wonder Mueller has changed directions. I anxiously await the retirement (for medical reasons) of McCain.
