Fusion GPS Paid Journalists Known for Russia Collusion Stories, Court Filings Show
People's Pundit Daily ^ | November 22, 2017 | Staff

Newly filed court documents reveal Fusion GPS, the shadowy firm behind the debunked Steele dossier, paid at least three journalists between June 2016 until February 2017. According to the filing, the three journalists who were paid by Fusion GPS are known for reporting on “Russia issues relevant to [the committee’s] investigation.”

The dates are noteworthy, considering that’s when Big Media began pushing the unsubstantiated “collusion” narrative between Russia and people close to now President Donald Trump.

Further, a filing by lawyers for the House Intelligence Committee claims Fusion GPS “brokered meetings for dossier author Christopher Steele with at least five major media outlets in September 2016, including Yahoo news.”

The recipients’ names, the payment amounts and purposes were either redacted from the documents that Fusion GPS filed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or were not disclosed. The firm, which was cofounded by former Wall Street Journal reporter Glenn Simpson, requested a restraining order against the House Intelligence Committee.

Congressional investigators — who have long alleged the dossier was used by mediates to fabricate collusion stories and by corrupt Obama Administration officials to begin their investigation — are demanding financial documents that will shed light on payments to reporters. A bombshell report recently revealed that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid more than $10 million to fund the dossier.

The nonprofit Campaign Legal Center (CLC) filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) alleging neither the Clinton campaign nor the DNC violated campaign finance law by failing to accurately disclose payments for the discredited dossier....

Eventually, the three names will come out. All three will then be finished in the journalism trade and can go rewrite their resume. The odds that some NY Times journalist is among the group?

We KNOW Dan Rather does NOT need to be paid. He is always on the correct side of the story as he knows the right answers. Ask him, he just needs to find the right evidence, even if he has to make it up. FAKE BUT ACCURATE

George Stephanopolis: George was a Clinton man from the White House. He is always on the side of the RATS. No pay is necessary.

Jake Tapper: One of CNN's best. Jake was a RAT staffer before he got into "journalism." He would never need to be paid to report anything bad about the Republicans.
