The FBI also paid Christopher Steele. Additionally, prior evidence surfaced suggesting the FBI used the dossier to get FISA warrants against the Trump campaign. And NOW we discover that Fusion GPS paid journalists and five media companies to participate.

So in addition to illegally obtained FISA warrants, we've got the FBI with long-time Clinton surrogate Jim Comey at the helm [using the dossier as the same vehicle] laundering money through Fusion to finance the media campaign against Donald Trump.

Running concurrently are the 'bash Trump' efforts of an endless line of former CIA/DNI directors and assistant directors.

That Christopher Steele chap, what an absolute genius [sarc off]. Tom Clancey must be shaking his head in the heavens. By the way, anyone see or heard from Steele ?

Who could have possibly devised such a fiendish scheme ?

#4 Right, BP. I didn't know you had to bribe these bastards. I thought they did it all out of their own spite. It certainly is a disappointment that their names were redacted.

#5 Since Steele got his information from high ranking officials in the Russian government, does this not mean that the whole effort represented Russian influence on the 2016 election.
This includes the payment of $1 million by the Clinton campaign, the dissemination of the document produced to the FBI and the press, the collusion of the bought press, the use of the document by the FBI to get FISA warrants, the investigation of the Trump campaign, the collusion of high FBI officials with all this, FBI payments and investigations of the Trump campaign, Comey's machinations, and even the Rosenstein appointment of a special investigator. ALL OF THIS brought about by RUSSIAN INFLUENCE. IT goes beyond the 2016 campaign to the PRESENT TIME.

#6 So paying honorariums to media companies and journalists to get the dossier into play???

Tell me again who was trying to manipulate the election.

I still think the dossier was part of the reason Trump won. The average citizen saw right through the entire episode as a Clinton dirty trick and refused to be swayed by it. The media kept playing it and it turned out to be counter intuitive, the more they played it, the fewer people believed it.

Only the looney left would invent a document and then take it as an act of faith that it was true. Reinforces Herr Detroit Goebbels about the ole "repeat a lie long enough" thing.
