Fusion GPS and the Washington Free Beacon
BY: Matthew Continetti and Michael Goldfarb
October 27, 2017 7:02 pm

Since its launch in February of 2012, the Washington Free Beacon has retained third party firms to conduct research on many individuals and institutions of interest to us and our readers. In that capacity, during the 2016 election cycle we retained Fusion GPS to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary, just as we retained other firms to assist in our research into Hillary Clinton. All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to the Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier. The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele. Nor did we have any knowledge of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign.

Representatives of the Free Beacon approached the House Intelligence Committee today and offered to answer what questions we can in their ongoing probe of Fusion GPS and the Steele dossier. But to be clear: We stand by our reporting, and we do not apologize for our methods. We consider it our duty to report verifiable information, not falsehoods or slander, and we believe that commitment has been well demonstrated by the quality of the journalism that we produce. The First Amendment guarantees our right to engage in news-gathering as we see fit, and we intend to continue doing just that as we have since the day we launched this project.

This dude on facebook has an interesting theory:

Rodney Brown They are admitting to it to hopefully make the congressional hearing committee quit digging into Fusion GPS bank accounts. WISE UP!

That is a great video. Thanks for posting.
I thought Hillary losing the election might be my all time favorite moment in politics. Going to jail will be even better.

"...Sources close to the Free Beacon stress that the project, when the Free Beacon funded it, had nothing to do with Russia and did not involve Christopher Steele, the former British spy who gathered anti-Trump dirt in Russia. Steele was retained by Fusion GPS when the project was funded by Democrats, and not in its initial phase, when the Free Beacon was involved....."

Washington Free Beacon didn’t pay for Steele dossier

Hillary/DNC law firm Perkins Coie did, as admitted in court

And FBI paid the expenses

To provide some much-needed perspective, Continetti and Goldfarb should state how much they paid GPS in total for research on all Republican primary candidates and how much of that was for the research on Trump.

Hmmm? I’m going to wait until Fusion GPS is forced to reveal “who all” were paying them for dirt-digging on Trump. Could be a dozen different people for all we know.

The people paying them would have no way of knowing other people were paying for the same bogus info.

I’ll bet you they have a few sleepers on their records.
