House Intel Committee Trying to Find Out Why Fusion GPS Paid Journalists Who Reported on Russia
Breitbart ^ | 26 Nov 2017 | KRISTINA WONG

Posted on 11/27/2017 9:23:08 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

Recently filed court documents revealed that Fusion GPS, the firm that produced the Trump dossier, paid three journalists who reported on Russia issues, and the House intelligence committee is trying to find out why.

The payments to journalists occurred between June 2016 and February 2017 and raise questions as to whether the firm paid journalists in connection with its efforts to advance the narrative that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

The payments were revealed in court filings by the deputy general counsel for the House intelligence committee on November 21 to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to request more information from Fusion GPS’s bank about the payments. The filings were obtained by Breitbart News.

The committee is requesting 112 more relevant transactions, including the payments to the three journalists and/or researchers.

“The Committee is aware that Fusion GPS’ specialty is seeding its opposition research into news stories,” the documents say.

“Given the clear relevance of journalists and researchers to Fusion GPS’s activities of relevance to the Committee’s investigation, the Requested Records therefore include records related to nine payments to three additional journalists and/or researchers who have reported or written on matters within the scope of the Committee’s investigation,” the papers say.

Getting to the bottom of who paid Fusion GPS for work on the dossier, as well as whom Fusion GPS paid in relation to the dossier is part of the House intelligence committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the election and whether there was any collusion with the Trump campaign.

Yah think?

So the DNC pays its law firm, which pays GPS Fusion, which pays “journalists” to write stories on the fabricated Russian hacking narrative. This sounds a lot like money laundering.

This report explains why the Left is screaming about Trump criticizing CNN. They KNOW CNN was involved. This whole thing was a Uniparty-Media-foreign-operative operation to throw an American Presidential election. If there was justice in our system, this would bring down most of Congress, most of the media, and many, many players in the Deep State. But there isn’t, so these people will go unpunished.

Mme Secretary:

We got a few stories placed today debunking claims in the book ahead of the
NYT story,
Attached is the memo cataloging the debunking stories that we are sending
tonight to our friends and allies. We are also leaking this response
document to the press so it gets more circulation.

As I have said on several occasions, this is the new modus.

We always want to be asking the bifurcating questions.

We want to be asking the questions that divide an issue into two or more parts (and there is no better illustration of what I am speaking of that the classic Disney cartoon of Mickey Mouse chopping the broomsticks carrying the water buckets) and hopefully, create a condition where each/both of those parts can be queried yet again to produce 4 parts.

We never want to ask the questions that, if answered, produce an endpoint, a factual conclusion, an unavoidable logical cul de sac. We want to be in a state of endlessly speculating as to the value of the evidence; the motivation of the perpetrators, the design of the scheme. That way, we can then set out to hunt for documentation for the design of the scheme or we can speculate as to why there is no documentation and what it means that that there is no documentation and if there isn’t, why and how did the perps hide or destroy it? We want to engage in endless speculation, not pat answers. WE NEVER FOUND OUT if the scheme worked or didn’t work and we never wanted to find out.

This way; every story engenders at least 3 more stories. And the possibility that you will light off some previously hidden offense nerve is some SJW somewhere is tripled. This is all engineered to be endless stimulation for people who know little (and, they can’t know, they weren’t there) but who wish to be engaged in the standard conspiracy crap.

Is paying a journalist to write propaganda illegal? If so, this will shut down the modern news media.

Anyone asked Bill Kristol, if he has any knowledge, contact, or role in the operation of Fusion GPS?
