It had been previously reported that Democrats took over funding for the opposition research from anti-Trump Republicans after Trump won the GOP nomination.
On Friday, lawyers for The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative publication, told the House Intelligence Committee that the outlet originally funded the dossier’s production.
The FBI also reached an agreement before Election Day to continue paying Steele for his work, though the plan was terminated after BuzzFeed published the dossier in January.
The Journal’s editorial board said revelations about who had financed the Steele dossier indicated that the “FBI’s role in Russia’s election interference must now be investigated.”
Yes the fbi was paying untill it became public knowledge that the fbi was paying for it. Just more dirty pool from clinton and obama.

Why don't you include FBI Director James Comey's testimony before Congress that the plan was to smear Hillary in every way possible after the primary? That is why he made such a big spectacle about Hillary's e-mails before the general election. As Shakespeare might say, and as Comey eventually concluded, it was Much Ado About Nothing.

ReplyDeleteHere is your answer, even if you weren't looking for the truth. Democrats and anti-Trump Republicans were looking for the Trump-Russian connections. You should be glad that there are people in this country who want to discover what Trump is trying to hide. Finding the truth is never "dirty pool" but treason always is.
