On Friday evening, it was revealed that the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative publication, funded the original Fusion GPS project.
As the Washington Examiner reported, the Free Beacon retained Fusion GPS to do research on several Republican candidates, not Donald Trump alone.
The project had nothing to do with Russia or Christopher Steele.
It ran from fall 2015 until Spring 2016, with the Free Beacon dropping it once Trump had the nomination sewn up.
That is when the law firm of Perkins Coie, counsel for the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS.
Only then did Fusion hire former British spy Christopher Steele.
It was not until two months later that Steele completed his first “Company Intelligence Report,” dated June 21. That began what became the so-called dossier — 35 pages of Steele’s sensational summaries.
Some suggest that parts of the dossier have been "verified". But former FBI director James Comey has dismissively described it as “salacious and unverified.” Its content has been vigorously disputed.
The dossier is a DEMOCRAT screed, through and through.
