Dems Funded the Russian "Dossier"

[whell]

Was that factually - challenged Russian "Dossier" actually part of a dirty tricks effort funded by Dems?

A secretive Washington firm that commissioned the dubious intelligence dossier on Donald Trump is stonewalling congressional investigators trying to learn more about its connections to the Democratic Party.

The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House.

...and this:

Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.

More, federal records show a key co-founder and partner in the firm was a Hillary Clinton donor and supporter of her presidential campaign.

In September 2016, while Fusion GPS was quietly shopping the dirty dossier on Trump around Washington, its co-founder and partner Peter R. Fritsch contributed at least $1,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund and the Hillary For America campaign, Federal Election Commission data show. His wife also donated money to Hillary’s campaign.

Source credibility storm approaching.

I recall reading months ago that this was funded by the GOP before they sold their soul to Trump, then funding was taken over by the Dems. No scandal here. Digging up dirt on the opposition goes back a long, long time.

And this source is known and has commented on the relative veracity of the content.

To me it will always come back to why Manafort, Flynn, Sessions and Kushner lie about their connections to Russia?

Get no one in the Intel community determined it was credible. Except maybe Comey for a short time.

Uh....yes. Initially funded by a Never Trump Republican, not directly by GOP, of course. Deniability and all that...

I did not mention credibility, I said the source was not anonymous, and had commented on it's contents, full stop.
