Former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has been forced to deny a claim that he ordered the outlandish ‘dirty dossier’ on President-elect Donald Trump. The BBC initially named Bush, one of Trump’s opponent in the 2016 Republican primary, as having enlisted the services of Washington-based political research firm FusionGPS to look into Trump's business dealings. FusionGPS later hired ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele to dig further into Trump’s connections with Russia. ‘He (Steele) was compiling this report on behalf of initially Trump's opponent Jeb Bush,’ the BBC said on Wednesday. The BBC subsequently said on Thursday its Washington correspondent Paul Wood misspoke.

“The couple faced down Russian tanks after the fall of the Soviet Union and ‘highly capable’ Mr Steele went on to become head of MI6’s Russia desk – meaning he was one of the Secret Intelligence Service’s most senior spies.”

AP too.
We know John McCain was definitely behind it.
Jeb Bush stands on tiptoes so he can be taller than the others in the group photo. He’s a buffoon.
Glenn Greenwald: Democrats hoping intelligence agencies will ‘undermine and subvert’ Trump presidency
Journalist Glenn Greenwald told Fox News Thursday that there is “obvious open warfare” between the intelligence community and President-elect Donald Trump, with Democrats “openly calling for and cheering for the intervention of the CIA.”
Greenwald spoke to “Tucker Carlson Tonight” regarding reports that Trump and President Barack Obama had been briefed about unverified allegations that Russian spies had collected compromising personal and financial information about the president-elect. A dossier containing the most salacious allegations was published by BuzzFeed earlier this week.
Greenwald said Democrats and liberals are “hoping ... that this unelected faction in Washington will undermine and subvert and destroy the legitimacy of Donald Trump’s presidency before he’s even inaugurated and I think what you’re seeing is actually quite dangerous.”
I figure that we’ll eventually find Lyn’ Ted and people associated with him involved.
Don’t be so sure. UK has strong libel laws. One of Jeb’s people said he was sending a cease and desist letter.
This may just CYA on the part of BBC
I don’t believe anything said by any Bush anymore.
I watched Lindsey Graham on O Riley last night. I have never seen such open hatred in my life. Bill said it was owing to start a new Cold War and Linseed said it would start a hot war. That’s what he and McCain want, a full out nuclear war with Russia
I would put money on McCain/Linda ordering the report
Agreed. Jeb’s team very most likely behind it. Jeb either just denying or quite likely not directly in-the-weeds knowledgeable about it.
Something was discussed on that plane. It’s time we found out.
Jeb spent $153 million on SOMETHING and it wasn’t just expensive mailings....
Well, Jeb - Exactly what in the hell did you spend that $100 Million Dollars on to get 3 EVs?
I’d like to see the specific wording of Jeb Bush’s denial as well as the wording of the cease and desist. They both beg to be parsed.
No, you will find Rubio and Romney. Keep up.
