Clinton Campaign / DNC paid for Steele Dossier

This is really kinda comical, the conservatives here are having a circle jerk over something they can't explain or even tell us why it is supposedly a big deal

Guess things really are that desperate

One of the President's Republican competitors in the GOP primaries initiated the research, Clinton's campaign picked up the tab thereafter, tell us what's the big deal? Third time, same question

The Republican was a #neverTrump -acting as an individual -no big deal, but then the Clinton campaign
(acting thru Fusion to hide it's identity) decided to pony up for fake news.

So you have that campaign hiding it's identity to gin up Fake news.

What REALLY BOTHERS ME ( knowing the Clinton's are slimeballs isn't new)
is the Deep State also paid for PissGate.

Then that serial liar Clapper -who gets all bent out of shape when Trump calls him out - gives it supposed "validity"
by briefing Trump after he is POTUS on the fake dossier.

I'm still looking thru it, as well as the breaking Podesta group/Paul Manafort connection...( how ironic is this?)
AND
there is something about new Email investigation!

Following Trump’s victory, The Post reported, the FBI arranged to pay Steele to proceed with intelligence gathering about Trump and Russia.
That deal was later nixed after the former intelligence officer was identified in news reports.....

Reports on the dossier's funding came just days after the president tweeted about the controversial file.

congressional Republicans as they've tried to get the firm to reveal those who supported Steele’s work.

Fusion GPS has refused to do so, citing client confidentiality agreements.

Officials with the firm have also invoked their right to refuse to answer questions from the House Intelligence Committee. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., subsequently subpoenaed the firm’s bank records in order to identify the client who subsidized the dossier.

Meanwhile, Glenn Simpson, the Fusion GPS founder, already gave a 10-hour interview to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The Russians are probably laughing their butts off right about now. They really took the Clintons and Dems for a ride...fell for it hook, line & sinker. PLUS! Our good for nothin' msm followed right along doing the Clinton's bidding only to NOW have their self-righteous smugness be exposed in the full light of day for all to see.

The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about President 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 those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Before that agreement, Fusion GPS’s research into Trump was funded by a still unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.

The Clinton campaign and the DNC, through the law firm, continued to fund Fusion GPS’s research through the end of October 2016, days before Election Day.


Fusion GPS gave Steele’s reports and other research documents to Elias, the people familiar with the matter said. It is unclear how or how much of that information was shared with the campaign and DNC, and who in those organizations was aware of the roles of Fusion GPS and Steele. One person close to the matter said the campaign and the DNC were not informed of Fusion GPS’s role by the law firm.

The dossier has become a lightning rod amid the intensifying investigations into the Trump campaign’s possible connections to Russia. Some congressional Republican leaders have spent months trying to discredit Fusion GPS and Steele, and tried to determine the identity of the Democrat or organization that paid for it.

Trump tweeted as recently as Saturday that the Justice Department and FBI should “immediately release who paid for it.”

Elias and Fusion GPS declined to comment on the arrangement. Spokespersons for the Clinton campaign and the DNC had no immediate comment.

Some of the details are included in an Oct. 24 letter sent by Perkins Coie to a lawyer representing Fusion GPS, telling the research firm that it was released from a client-confidentiality obligation. The letter was prompted by a legal fight over a subpoena for Fusion GPS’s bank records.

People involved in the matter said that they would not disclose the dollar amounts paid to Fusion GPS, but said that the campaign and the DNC shared the cost.

Steele previously worked in Russia for British intelligence. The dossier is a compilation of reports he prepared for Fusion. The dossier alleged that the Russian government collected compromising information about Trump and the Kremlin was engaged in an active effort to assist his campaign for president.

Fusion GPS’s work researching Trump began during the Republican presidential primaries, when the GOP donor paid for the firm to investigate the real estate tycoon’s background.

Fusion GPS did not start off looking at Trump’s Russia ties, but quickly realized that those relationships were extensive, according to the people familiar with the matter.

When the Republican donor stopped paying for the research, Elias, acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, agreed to pay for the work to continue.

The Democrats paid for research, including by Fusion GPS, because of concerns that little was known about Trump and his business interests, according to the people familiar with the matter.

Some of Steele’s allegations began circulating in Washington in the summer of 2016 as the FBI launched its counterintelligence investigation into possible connections between Trump associates and the Kremlin. Around that time, Steele shared some of his findings with the FBI.

After the election, the FBI agreed to pay Steele to continue gathering intelligence about Trump and Russia, but the bureau pulled out of the arrangement after Steele was publicly identified in news reports.

The dossier was published by BuzzFeed News in January. Fusion GPS has said in court filings that it did not give BuzzFeed the document.

In early January, then-FBI Director James B. Comey presented a two-page summary of Steele’s dossier to President Barack Obama and President-elect Trump.

Congressional Republicans have tried to force Fusion GPS to identify the Democrat or group behind Steele’s work, but the firm has said that it would not do so, citing confidentiality agreements with its clients.

Last week, Fusion GPS executives invoked their constitutional right not to answer questions from the House Intelligence Committee. The firm’s founder, Glenn Simpson, had previously given a 10-hour interview to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Over objections from Democrats, the Republican leader of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes (Calif.), subpoenaed Fusion GPS’s bank records to try to identify the mystery client.

Fusion GPS has been fighting the release of its bank records. A judge on Tuesday extended a deadline for Fusion GPS’s bank to respond to the subpoena until Friday while the company attempts to negotiate a resolution with Nunes.

that is pretty good. it is funny, whether it ever is tried or not. it is funny. I must watch for repentance. wow. we the people cannot imagine being busted by the Most High for globally epic crimes which the blood counts are gross. misery, suffering has been the story of this half century of my life. I am wore out from sitting in front of brain training devices. it is just another damned job now. the Clintons quite closely resemble the fail of Ahab and Jezebel. Jezebel did not end well. http://biblehub.com/kjv/2_kings/9.htm JEHU is a genuine hero. he ended the threats of the seed of Ahab. I recognized a spelling flaw on this page. sorry.
 
The teflon is finally wearing off of the Clintons. Signs were there in 2010 as far collusion with Russia.................

As a Russian state nuclear corporation sought a majority share of Uranium One, a leading Uranium producer with mining rights in the U.S., former President Clinton was invited to Moscow to give a speech to Renaissance Capital.

Renaissance Capital is an investment bank, “with ties to the Kremlin” according to the NY Times. Clinton was paid $500,000 for the one-hour speech.
