Dossair on Trump Paid for By Hillary and DNC

[GURPS]

It was revealed Friday that popular conservative news website The Washington Free Beacon was the original funder for Donald Trump research at Clinton-linked Fusion GPS, the same organization that eventually created the so-called “anti-Trump dossier.”

Woah, what?

Lawyers for the Free Beacon revealed their ties to Fusion GPS during a hearing before the House Intelligence Committee, according to the Washington Examiner.

The lawyers said the Free Beacon funded their research project beginning in the fall of 2015, but later withdrew the funding in the spring of 2016. However, the research covered multiple Republican presidential candidates, not just Trump. The research also had nothing to do with Russia.

It’s not clear why the organization stopped funding the research, which was later continued by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee.


How did the Free Beacon respond?

In a short statement, Free Beacon editor Matthew Continetti confirmed his organization retained Fusion GPS to conduct research on Republican candidates, just as they had retained other research organizations to do the same on Clinton. This is normal for newsrooms without full-time researchers.

Continetti maintained that research produced on Trump had nothing to with Russia, the anti-Trump dossier or Christopher Steele, former British intelligence officer who compiled the dossier:

All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to the Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier. The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele. Nor did we have any knowledge of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign.​

Lawyers for the conservative publication Washington Free Beacon informed the House Intelligence Committee Friday that the organization was the original funder for the anti-Trump opposition research project with Fusion GPS.

The Free Beacon funded the project from the fall of 2015 through the spring of 2016, whereupon it withdrew funding and the project was picked up by the Democratic National Committee and the Hillary Clinton campaign.

The original arrangement between the Free Beacon and Fusion GPS involved opposition research into multiple Republican candidates, not just front-runner Donald Trump.

Sources close to the Free Beacon stress that the project, when the Free Beacon funded it, had nothing to do with Russia and did not involve Christopher Steele, the former British spy who gathered anti-Trump dirt in Russia. Steele was retained by Fusion GPS when the project was funded by Democrats, and not in its initial phase, when the Free Beacon was involved.

I don't think folks are having a problem with people trying to gather "opposition research" on candidates; I think where folks are having a problem is that some of the information may have come from Russia, and that the dossier - loaded with made-up information - was used to justify an investigation into this Trump collusion crap.

No, it doesn’t dumb ass. It proves that republicans did fund it first. No to mention McCain delivered it to the FBI. You can suck down all the spin you want, the reality is that the right also funded fusion to dig dirt up on trump.

Did they openly deny doing so when directly questioned by Congress?

"The right"? Let's get something straight here... the 'never-Trump' crowd are NOT "the right". Folks like me condemn their actions to pedal this pack-of-lies-dossier just as much as democrats that have been pushing it. There is a faction in the GOP that will do almost anything to get Trump out of that White House; and to rely on a document that is nothing but fallacies to spawn on investigation is borderline treason.

No worse than Corker and Flake who are on the Foreign relations committee, and have stated that they intend to spend the rest of their time in Congress attacking Trump

Never trumpers most certainly are the right. Never trumpers included most of the other GOP candidates and their donors. Trump is a liberal who decided it would be easier to run as an R.

It's truly tough on you admitting when you are wrong isn't it.
But not admitting it doesn't change the fact.

By the way if Trump is a liberal you would be sucking his ass instead of in here every day crying about him.

Well, you being way on the left, you would see these establishment pinheads as on the right.

Unpublished opposition research on ALL Republican Candidates by a The Washington Free Beacon is NOT the SAME as the Dossier the DNC / Hillary Campaign paid for as generated with information Gathered BY Steele with bogus information purchased from shady Russians



and yes Poor Old Victimized McCain Delivered the dossier of lies to the FBI - Obama Administration FBI Which continued to pay for further lies

They are the GOP. That IS the right. You can pretend it’s not so, but trump is way to the left of those ‘pinheads’ you are talking about

Hang on, it’s wrong to get dirt from the Russians? Trump better watch out, one of his advisors has already pleaded guilty to lying about doing exactly that

You, who claims to always be right about everything, don't know that there are liberal republicans and conservative democrats? You couldn't be more wrong about something. I have always said Trump has liberal tendencies. He has donated to both conservatives a liberals. As of now, as president, just about every position he is conservative on: taxes, defense, immigration, etc... The only thing I'm not sure of, because he hasn't signed a spending bill yet, is if he will be fiscally conservative. Will he keep kicking the bloated government can down the road. Will he be another bailout, too-big-to-fail president.

What exactly is a NY liberal? You mean the kind that want to raise taxes, tax everything, spend it on people that refuse to earn their own, spend in deficits, make his city a sanctuary for illegals...? Is that the kind of liberal Trump is?

That's funny he never reminded me of Bloomberg or De Blasio or Hillary or Chuck the Schmuck.

If you paid attention to trumps tax plan he is going to be kicking that can. In fact so far he hasn’t done much that shows as conservative. Gorsuch and the travel ban would be about it.

But you said the gop isn’t the right. They are the right, some more conservative than others and most more conservative than trump, but they are the right.
