Clinton Campaign And The DNC Paid For Research That Led To Trump Dossier
No surprise. So it was Clinton and the Democrats who coordinated with a firm associated with the Russians to smear Trump.
Quote:The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about Donald 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.
Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community.
Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Prior to 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.[…]
Elias and Fusion GPS declined to comment on the arrangement. Spokespersons for the Clinton campaign and the DNC had no immediate comment.
People involved in the matter said they would not disclose the dollar-amounts paid to Fusion GPS, but said the campaign and the DNC shared the cost.

I really don't understand. We have known about this and the uranium deal for over a year.
Why now?

I highly doubt it, but it's possible that people in the MSM are seeing the writing on the wall and are trying to report so they don't seem so biased.
It's sad that it's taken a year for lefty leaning outlets like TWP to report on stuff that was reported on a while ago by Fox and others. They've pushed their narrative so far without proof and blasted anyone who disagreed... they have nothing left to base anything on.
You can only double down so many times until you have no chips left to bet with.
But I'm probably being too hopeful about that.

in addition, maybe the ones formerly known as "reputable" are realizing the ones that pay the bills aren't the ones they've been pandering towards.....
is ironically funny how that works.....

She is no longer useful. Like when they decided it was okay to go after John Edwards' "love child."

A GOP Donor was also involved in the funding.
Bet this mysterious Donor is linked to Jeb Bush.

Opposition research. Trump got e-mails from his Russian contacts. There are no clean players in this game.

They used cut-outs whose efforts are shielded from disclosure in any legal proceedings by attorney-client privilege.
DNC/Clinton hires Elias.
Elias hires Fusion GPS.
Fusion GPS hires Steele.
It's a bulletproof arrangement... unless there is a leak.
"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."

If Fusion GPS was willing to give up Clinton and the DNC, who are they protecting that was also involved with the fake dossier?
