Remember the unverified anti-Trump dossier that Buzzfeed published after the election? It was quickly discredited, but questions remained as to who paid for the document.
Well, we no longer have to wonder. The Washington Post had a bombshell scoop last night, reporting that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund the now-infamous dossier containing debunked allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia. Fusion GPS was the firm responsible for decimating the document, and Clinton lawyer Marc E. Elias kept the firm on retainer from April 2016 through Election Day.

Fusion GPS, upon being funded by the Cilntons, paid Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, to compile the dossier. Steele had, according to the Daily Beast, “connections in Russia and Eastern Europe,” who helped him compile the damning information. The final document made several lurid allegations about sexual activity in Russia by Trump colleagues, which have since been debunked. But the allegations about Russian connections stuck, and continue to be investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
Now that one of the sources of the payments for the research has been revealed to be Clinton and Democrats, pressure will likely build on Mueller to conclude his investigation, which sources say has thus far found nothing to support allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Fusion GPS has fought to keep the source of its research funding private, and declined to comment on the Washington Post report. Spokespersons for the Clinton campaign and the DNC also had no immediate comment.

Nevertheless, this is an earth-shaking revelation. Elias and the Clinton campaign denied they had anything to do with the dossier for months:
Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year https://t.co/vXKRV1wRJc

And, crazy as all of this is, this isn’t even the most startling news from the report. On Saturday, Trump tweeted out the following:
Workers of firm involved with the discredited and Fake Dossier take the 5th. Who paid for it, Russia, the FBI or the Dems (or all)?

Trump was lambasted for suggesting the FBI helped pay for the dossier. But look at this from the Washington Post report: “After the election, the FBI agreed to pay Steele to continue gathering intelligence about Trump and Russia, but the bureau pulled out of the arrangement after Steele was publicly identified in news reports.”
Here’s the new question: What did James Comey, then-FBI director, know and when did he know it? Why was he paying for a discredited source to gather damning information on Trump? Who else paid for the dossier?

Let’s hope we get all of these questions answered soon, and end the ridiculous Trump-Russia collusion investigation. We now know who really colluded with the Russians: Hillary Clinton.
Share this story if you think it’s time to lock up Clinton for good!

Will someone explain to me why is it that Clinton commits all these crimes, but there is no prosecution in sight. How is that possible?

soros and the no class obama.
President Trump is beating the socks off the old geezer, soros! The old geezer has his MO he’s been using for decades in bringing down countries (to make himself richer and richer) and the last part of it is: “Outlast your opponent.”
C’mon, folks! Let’s keep supporting President Trump AND shining a light on commie soros and make sure Trump OUTLASTS his opponent! I’ve been knocked off FB already for my FACT-FILLED comments, as well as blocked by Disqus – never mind that I had THOUSANDS of upvotes. Hmmmm, I wonder how long I’ll be able to post on here!

I wonder how many hookers Slick Willy has played with? And did he pay for any for Comey and Mueller to play with too? Hillary probably paid for a few herself for them.

Wrong,
Collusion is a crime, it’s called Anti-Trust.

Even WORSE; If that’s possible, a well-known GOP helped to fund it as WELL! Not a REAL republican, but a closet Dem/Prog! I have my own ideas of WHO would do it, but will wait until the crap in the litter box is UN-covered to see if I am right! HINT: John, the negative?
Sometimes a story sticks to a politician because he has a Velcro skin. Sometimes they stick because there are smeared with crazy glue. Sometimes they stick because the hate filled media holds them against the politician.
Trumps skin is steel not Velcro.

I wish Trump would file charges against hillary. Slander / liable. The nation has known for a long time that there was corruption in most of the government agencies like the IRS, BATFE, FBI, EPA, etc.,

Deep and dark state. There you see the devil. Take heart then and know therefore that there also is a God.

Really concerned that I do not hear enough outrage for the national security of the U.S.A Just for the most obvious reasons nobody should ever have that much influence or power that high within our highest forms of government. Wow! I guess somewhere in all of our minds we kind of know that some crooked crap goes on but I never dreamed that it could be so many at so many high levels. I thank God for President Trump more than ever now. It is unaccountable what else might have happened if Clinton would have won but we now know for sure it would have been very bad for our country.

If Clinton helped fund it – who’s money did she use? She has already complained about having to spend some of her “own”money on her 2nd failed campaign – because the DNC could not or would not give her any. She has screamed in outrage over Harvey Weinstein but didn’t want to give his money back either – forget about her hypocrisy in railing against Weinstein while doing everything in her power to destroy ALL of the women who have had the audacity to accuse Bill Clinton. By the time the dust settles we will most likely see that George Soros paid for it and Obama, Lynch and Comey are also involved.
