the government helped with the fake dossier.
doubt if they're going to prosecute themselves.

Just a thought. Given that groups tendency to shoot themselves in the foot, and execute, then plan later.....it’s a maybe.

And it was commissioned by the GOP first.

Mueller discovered a lot of contacts with the Trump campaign and the Russians.

Care to elaborate? And provide substance to that comment?

I found lots of stuff ......uncorroborated stuff, and then I found this:

“So here’s what we’d known for a year,” Northeastern University journalism professor Dan Kennedy tweeted Wednesday. “The Steele dossier was research funded first by Republicans, then by Democrats.” Jake Tapper called his claim “correct” in a tweet he later deleted.

Verdict: False

D.C.-based opposition research firm Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with expertise in Russia, to put together the dossier after Republicans quit paying the firm to compile opposition research on Trump. Steele was hired after a lawyer representing the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign hired the firm to dig up dirt on Trump.

Fact Check:

During the Republican presidential primary, an unknown Republican “client” funded Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump, The Washington Post reports. Trump at that time was still seeking the Republican nomination for the 2016 presidential election.

That client cut off funds to Fusion GPS as the primary winded down, and the Clinton campaign hired the firm through its lawyer Mike Elias in April 2016. The DNC and Clinton campaign continued funding the project until October 2016.

Steele “authored” the Trump-Russia dossier that Fusion GPS produced using a “compilation of reports” he worked on while at the firm, and all of his work happened while the Clinton campaign was funding the opposition research.

While part of the material may have been gathered by Fusion GPS when the firm was bankrolled by a Republican client during the primary, the entirety of Steele’s work on the dossier he was hired to produce took place while Fusion GPS was funded by the Clinton campaign. The dossier centers on Russia, and likely almost entirely came from Steele, who is well-sourced in Russia, because of his experience as a spy.

The claim that the “Steele dossier” was funded by Republicans doesn’t hold up to the facts.[/I]

He was not........Steele was hired by Fusion to compile data AFTER the primaries.

I posted that information. YOU choose to not read it.

That is fine by me, but understand, you are incorrect.

I found multiple articles saying that the GOP people hired people to do research on Trump first. Including Fusion.

Listen closely, I will talk slowly.

Yes PUBS hired Fusion...........

After the primary, they stopped funding that. Fusion hired Steele, AFTER that.......AFTER it. I will say it again for the slow folks ......AFTER the PRIMARY.

get it yet?

The Steele Dossier, was put together by Steele, not Fusion GPS........

You still following, or do I need to slow down a little more.

Good God Man.

Later,
