They admitted it after Nunes sued and beat back Shifty to prove it. Although they did it only because at that point they had to. The RNC never had anything to do with FGPS and especially C Steele.

Perkins Coie, at Elias’s behest and with the bills ultimately paid by Clinton and the DNC, continued to fund Fusion’s work through the end of October 2016, though the people involved say that neither the campaign nor the DNC was aware of the details of Fusion’s work.
Fusion, in turn, subcontracted with Christopher Steele, a retired MI-6 officer with considerable expertise on Russian matters, to use his contacts in Moscow to find what he could about Trump’s connections to the Russian government. That work led to the compilation of Steele’s dossier, written up in the style of an intelligence report and based on unnamed sources, that contained a variety of serious charges against Trump.
Or the ultra-conservative mouthpiece that is the Washington Post
Quote: But in April 2016, Fusion was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to keep funding the research. (Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained the firm.)
In early June, Fusion hired Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, to examine Trump’s ties in Russia. The dossier is actually several memos, based on conversations with Russian sources, that were written between June and October of 2016.
Pretty damned hard for the RNC to fund the Steele dossier when he was hired after the DNC and Clinton campaign started footing the bill.

They did what? Pay for the Steele dossier? There you're wrong.
If you're claiming they paid to research dirt on an opponent of the same party, you'd be correct. You'd also be correct noting that water is wet.
And when I say "they", I'm talking about pubs supporting other pubs, not the RNC. There have been no claims that the RNC had anything to do with Fusion as far as I know.

Товарищ Макиавелли, Республиканская партия никогда не применяла проводки, санкционированные правительством США, на основе половины правды и лжи, оплачиваемых оппозиционной партией.

So what Vox and the Post say is that the Clinton campaign conspired with a foreigner to pay the Russians to give them dirt on Donald Trump to influence the election.

Mach, the narrative started as "Trump colluded with Russians to rig the election".
Over a year later we're now at "The Hillary Campaign colluded with a foreign agent to rig the election along with help from the FBI and the DOJ."
Step two rapidly approaching will be "The Hillary Campaign colluded with a foreign agent to rig the election along with help from the FBI, the DOJ, and the State Department.
Step three will be "The Hillary Campaign colluded with a foreign agent to rig the election along with help from the FBI, the DOJ, the State Department, and the White House.
Step four will be "The Hillary Campaign colluded with a foreign agent to rig the election along with help from the FBI, the DOJ, the State Department, the White House, and Barack Obama.
I think you can see where this is headed, and it's anything BUT a shrinking narrative.

Washington Free Beacon contracted Fusion GPS to get dirt on all the candidates, when it was clear that Trump was the candidate they stopped paying. FGPS then shopped it around when Perkins Coie hollered at them hands and said, hey big man lemme get some dirt on DJT. FGPS said dude I gotcha covered. We already started it. Then PC started paying them GPS hands thanks to the DNC. GPS hollered at some hand called Chrs Steele and he said, hey I got you fam.

Don't forget the Russians. Hillary's campaign was actually paying Russians, albeit through an intermediary-Fusion GPS. We know from Vox and the Post that Hillary's campaign colluded with the Russians to impact the election. That's the only Russian collusion we know about that actually happened.

Wow. You must ussualy post places where people are clueless and accept anything. You are posting misleading information (again). The RNC did not pay one dime toward the dossier (not even a penny). The DNC DID PAY FOR THE DOSSIER and have ADMITTED IT. Nothing really more need be added.
