Two of the co-founders of the opposition research firm behind the infamous Steele dossier say they are “extremely proud” of their work investigating Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.

But, writing at The New York Times, Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, two partners at Fusion GPS, provide little in the way of evidence to support the core allegations made in their salacious report...

They also write: “We don’t believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.’s investigation into Russian meddling"...

and that ? killed Seth Rich for taking the DNC info off by flashdrive and handing it off for Wikileaks..

[UCANSEE2]

One would have to have believe in unicorns and skittles rainbows to believe them.

[Enchante]

Lying propagandists — these bastards need to be demolished publicly, legally, and every way possible.

Please release the Fusion GPS testimony! I'd love to see it. My understanding is that Simpson and Fitsch had to be dragged kicking and screaming to testify and they wanted to keep the testimony in closed session, and that their answers to questions was extremely evasive. Be careful what you wish for.

[basalt]

then why didnt Clinton or the DNC use any of their “research” during the election?...even they knew it was garbage.

[mojito]

“They say that Steele, a former MI6 officer, did not know that he was working indirectly for the Clinton campaign and DNC. They also say that they did not tell their clients that Steele was sharing his findings with the FBI. The ex-spy began briefing the FBI about some of his findings in early July 2016.”

So Simpson is saying that he hid the fact that from the Clinton campaign that their oppo research on Trump was secretly being passed on to the FBI as legit foreign intelligence? Oh my. Glenn, please keep digging.

[mojito]

Oh, and the Clinton’s didn’t KNOW that they in fact were “colluding” with Russians because super spy Steele didn’t know who he was working for!

Sure, I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Fusion GPS is a company you pay to dig up dirt, and if necessary, invent dirt. Depending on the payment.

They also write: “We don’t believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.’s investigation into Russian meddling"

How would these two guys know what triggered the witch hunt?

[Jane Long]

Yep....they refused to testify, then refused the 5th and struck a ‘deal’, and on and on.

Agree....be careful what they wish for.

[mojito]

And no mention in that NY Slimes source piece (which really should be read for its cluelessness, arrogance and stupidity) of Bruce and Nellie Ohr.

[dila813]

They are trying to protect their deep staters, “We don’t believe the Steele dossier was the trigger for the F.B.I.’s investigation into Russian meddling”

[blueplum]

never mind the chocolate crumbs smeared on their faces, they weren’t in the cookie jar. No, not at all.

[Vendome]

Fags...

[Ann Archy]

Glenn Simpson SHOULD be in Prison by now!

[cincinnati65]

"the inclusion of some as-yet-unproved salacious material"

Are they STILL pretending the Russian prostitutes pee story is true, just not proven yet????

[Erik Latranyi]

This is the funny part.....they say the dossier was not used to get the FISA warrant, but that parts of the dossier are true.

They also claim that the FBI had an informant inside the Trump campaign. Now, THAT is explosive! Why would the FBI have an informant inside the Trump campaign other than to do opposition research to benefit Obama/Clinton?

Papadopoulos.

[mewzilla]

Papadopoulos? Maybe. But if so, wonder if he was the only one?

[RegulatorCountry]

That whole thing is just one long soundbite for the leftist media, sounds kind of tough but there’s really nothing concrete to it other than throwing the Clinton campaign under the bus, that and their own CYA.
