The Democrats are bringing out every trick in the playbook to block the Senate Judiciary Committee's investigation into Fusion GPS, the firm behind the fabricated Steele dossier.

Democrats have tried to block the testimony of Fusion GPS boss Glenn Simpson since he could be asked who paid for the Trump opposition research.

Quote:Fusion has admitted it was hired by a law firm representing a Russian company called Prevezon. ...We know that at the exact time Fusion was working with the Russians, the firm had also hired a former British spy, Christopher Steele, to dig up dirt on Mr. Trump. Mr. Steele compiled his material, according to his memos, based on allegations from unnamed Kremlin insiders and other Russians.....We know that Mr. Simpson is tight with Democrats. His current attorney, Joshua Levy, used to work in Congress as counsel to no less than Chuck Schumer. ...Word is Mr. Simpson has made clear he will appear for a voluntary committee interview only if he is not specifically asked who hired him to dig dirt on Mr. Trump. Democrats are going to the mat for him over that demand. Those on the Judiciary Committee pointedly did not sign letters in which Mr. Grassley demanded that Fusion reveal who hired it....money flowed from a political entity on the left, to a private law firm, to Fusion, to a British spook, and then to Russian sources....specifically made up claims to dupe Mr. Steele, to trick him into writing this dossier...

So why are the Democrats adamant that Mr Simpson not testify who paid him for the Trump research? Hmmm.
