DNC, Wasserman Schultz say they were unaware of dossier payments

Current and past leaders of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) say they had no knowledge that the national party was helping to fund a dossier compiled by a British spy that contained scandalous accusations about President Trump.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC paid millions to the law firm Perkins Coie, where Democratic lawyer Marc Elias worked with the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to construct the memo, which was compiled by British spy Christopher Steele.

The memo is at the center of several investigations into Russian meddling and it may have been used by the FBI as part of its investigation into allegations that Trump campaign officials had improper contacts with Russian officials. Former FBI director James Comey has said none of the allegations in the memo have been verified.

The bombshell Washington Post report has emboldened President Trump, who on Wednesday lashed out at the “fake dossier” and described it as the cornerstone of “the whole Russia hoax.”

DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa said chairman Tom Perez, who only became the Democratic leader in April, had nothing to do with the arrangement. The law firm Perkins Coie handles a range of issues for the DNC.

Both Shrillary’s campaign and the DNC doled out millions while the head honchos knew nothing. Yeah, sure. So the best we can say is that Hillary and DWS are total incompetent idiots. But of course it’s worse than that....

The tab for the Mueller Special investigation needs to be paid by the DNC, Hillary, Comey, and Obama.

That’s why they’ve been fighting the Congressional subpoena for their bank records, tooth & nail.

“DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa said chairman Tom Perez”

Say what? Is the DNC now run out of Mexico City, or is is San Juan?

> Let’s see who signed the checks. And work backwards from there.

Seriously? You expect they wrote things down in a traceable manner?

Nah, you'll have to start by looking for surveillance video of attache cases filled with $100 bills being passed from car trunk to car trunk at night in an alley.

Treasurers bear a lot of legal responsibility. The seldom-mentioned Andrew Tobias was the DNC Treasurer for years and years - until this year.

Really???? She’s going to claim that she didn’t have a clue where money was being spent????

Apparently almost half the people in this country want polidiots who never really know what the hell was going on right under their noses to be in charge of stuff. Because their so smart and superior or something.

Perhaps it was Donna Brazille who took over for DWS after her ousting...
