Washington Post: Clinton Campaign paid for research that led to Trump-Russia dossier

[Ame®icano]

And now mueller is illegally involved with the clintons, russia, and uranium deals. Amazing.

Please show us specifically what is ILLEGAL about Mueller now investigating RUSSIA and the Clinton's as opposed to RUSSIA and Trump. The uranium deal has stunk to high heaven since it happened.

"Now" he's person of interest, since he was FBI boss at the time of the Uranium One purchase dealings and cover up. Good enough?

Did anyone mention that a Republican presidential candidate actually started and paid for this dossier investigation by Fusion GPS and Steele until Trump won the Primary? It's called "opposition research".

NaziCons have latched onto another "nothingburger"....

You left wing wankers went insane over a meeting at the Trump Tower. Meanwhile your team was PAYING Russian informants for dirt on Trump and then making certain the FBI could use that fairy tale to launch an investigation into Trump.

This is not a nothing burger. Especially when it is now confirmed that the FBI was actually going to pay a FOREIGN agent to go to Russian informants to continue to get dirt on a candidate in an election campaign.

Not a nothing burger.

Duh, one side was colluding with Russians while the other side was investigating collusion with Russians. Duh, do you see the difference? Duh...

 

[Ame®icano]

every day there's a Clinton bombshell!

Clinton campaign, DNC paid for research that led to Russia dossier

Republicans started it. But then after Trump became the nominee, the Democrats took it over.
But they never used it. They realized it wasn't legal. That it was colluding with Russia. Republicans honor the Russians.

They realized it wasn't legal before or after they paid for it?

What? I'm outraged! Paying for opposition research? !!! This cannot stand!!

If by "opposition research" you mean paying Russian spies to make shit up, then, yes, you should be outraged.


What about NOT paying for opposition research? What about just having a meeting? Trump Jr.?

[LoneLaugher]

Man. You idiots are gonna be pissed!

 

[ClosedCaption]

They BOUGHT stories from Russian spies !!!!! How is that NOT collusion?

Really weird you think a British ex-intel agent -- one who for decades shared info with the FBI and CIA -- is a Russian spy.

He paid his so called informants. Who btw couldn't even come up with the right Michael Cohen in Prague.

He paid informants and that means that he's revoked his citizenship changed!!

What? I'm outraged! Paying for opposition research? !!! This cannot stand!!

so tell me - when russia called trump jr and said that they had dirt on hillary, i'm willing to bet you your own genitalia you were all over trump like a fly on horse shit.

tired of that shit.

The chances that the Clintons finally pay for what they have done are south of -0.

Since they did nothing.

seriously? as liberals say when you tell them they should stop protesting and get off their ass and help - WE CAN DO BOTH!!!

so use your own fucking words and say WE CAN DO BOTH in follow up on any crimes either side has committed. we're seeing a shitton roll in for the clintons and the DNC. all we have on trump is people hate him, he's embarrassing and a fucking idiot. i won't deny any of those but none of those are illegal now are they?

if trump is guilty - great. take him. but don't let your hate for trump make you turn a blind eye to actual crimes that if trump had done anything close to that, you'd demand blood.

easy to see you can't be unbiased.

You forgot to add it is only wrong if Trump did opposition research.

They also forgot that Paul Manifort was the proof Trump was installed by Russia. Turns out that he is being investigated for the time he worked for the brothers Podesta. That’s even better.

This only gets better. The Dems always screw something up

---------

The dossier has become a lightning rod amid the intensifying investigations into the Trump campaign’s possible connections to Russia.

The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) 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 Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington, D.C., 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, Seattle-based Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Before that agreement, Fusion GPS’ 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’ 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.

Clinton campaign, DNC helped pay for work on dossier about Russia and Trump

So what, first a Pub did till T won and then the DNC did. Too bad. Not a crime to hire a company to do research.

unfortunately that tactic has worked and they've come to feel secure in it. until the hammer falls and people start doing jail time for their crimes (trump also if he did anything - don't care. want all that shit gone, but so far he's not done this shit it's been done to him) they will continue the snark and denial.

but that play is about played out. their house of cards is teetering and tiger just walked in on the bradys. (let's see who gets THAT reference)

Once and for all, is it you opinion

lol, a thousand threads on Benghazi...this new RW obsession may break that record.

that Benghazi was and its outcome was a 'SUCCESS' for Hillary Clinton's State Department? Yes or No?
