Democrats don’t want you to find out—and that ought to be a scandal of its own. ___ Yet Democrats now have meekly and noiselessly retreated, agreeing to let both men speak to the committee in private. Why would they so suddenly be willing to let go of this moment of political opportunity?
Fusion GPS. That’s the oppo-research outfit behind the infamous and discredited “Trump dossier,” ginned up by a former British spook. Fusion co-founder Glenn Simpson also was supposed to testify at the Grassley hearing, where he might have been asked in public to reveal who hired him to put together the hit job on Mr. Trump, which was based largely on anonymous Russian sources. Turns out Democrats are willing to give up just about anything—including their Manafort moment—to protect Mr. Simpson from having to answer that question.
What if, all this time, Washington and the media have had the Russia collusion story backward? What if it wasn’t the Trump campaign playing footsie with the Vladimir Putin regime, but Democrats? The more we learn about Fusion, the more this seems a possibility.
We know Fusion is a for-hire political outfit, paid to dig up dirt on targets. This column first outed Fusion in 2012, detailing its efforts to tar a Mitt Romney donor. At the time Fusion insisted that the donor was “a legitimate subject of public records research.”

It’s not a scandal. It is the single best opportunity to demonstrate the corruption behind the Dem party and their operations during the 2016 election. Of course the Republicans will do nothing. This dossier made it all the way to the FBI where Comey held it over Trump’s head. It made it to Brennan, one of the single most vicious traitors in US history. The guy from Fusion GPS should be arrested and waterboarded. Today, now.

Of course the Republicans will do nothing.
That’s the RINO M/O .... DO NOTHING.
John McCain.
My bet - money from a GOPe donor probably laundered through an FBI contractor
Look to Jeb Bush and Miit Romney Donors
Yes Fusion GPS whored its oppo research to both democrats and republicans willing to pay
Fusion is in fact one of those deep state buzzwords revered by the GOP old money set that is tesponsible for turning Homeland Security and our intelligence and various domestic law enforcement agencies into watchdogs of - not for - the American people
Still wondering if any EU governments were in on it...
Thank you!
McCain should be held accountable for this.
If his captors in viet nam spent years trying to turn him against his country, that doesn’t mean he has to actually comply with their wishes.
Great article bump
Thanks for that link.
Instead of asking this question to “the public” why not ask it of the man himself. The public has no ability to answer. We can only guess. The man in question knows the answer. He has been told to never answer the question. The Dems have dragged the process out for months. Now they are blocking testimony.
How about some investigative reporting. We know McCain was involved. Come on Libs/MSM, dig a little. Pretend you are worth something.
I agree. He should be taken into protective custody and grilled.
This only reveals the corruption involved in THIS election. An even grosser mafia story explains the 2 elections previous to this. In those cases, there is evidence that the deep state and the powers of our spy agencies were directly involved in crimes to put and keep Obama in office.
All this together gives an accurate picture of just how screwed-up this country is. Not just the government and the shadowy firms that use and are used by our politicians, but the whole country - because the media that large swaths of the public listen to are also directly involved in the treason.
The amount of corruption in between elections, the amount of collusion with foreign government in between elections, the making of US policy based on input (info and $$$$$$$) from foreign agents between elections -- that dwarfs the corruption involved as part of the elections.
Focusing the public on the election campaign process, as if what follows is honest government, pretty much completely overlooks where the corruption is taking place.
thanx for the link
There is a department that already knows the skinny on the dossier and who paid for it.
Sessions need only care enough to frigging ask, hear and report it.
Anything less is complicity, at this point.
If I get your point, you find that Sessions is complicit in the coup attempt against Trump.
