I would guess Cruz.
They should have asked me, I need $$$$$
So who brokered the transfer of the investigation (collusion) from GOP supporters to Hillary???
Snort... I wouldn’t be surprised if an element of that entered the mix. Good grief, collect any old rumor and breathlessly rush it to press. And reap the consequences, now that people have skeptical-colored glasses to don.
Probably Steele himself.
IIRC, Major Garrett was spewing Steele as a credible source...without naming him.
The sharing of the op-research may explain the video clip showing the elder Bush making the “cut-it-off” hand motion during the early Republican debates.
Shame on all of the individuals involved. How arrogant!
Remember when Bob Beckel said he was headed to the UK for ‘oppo research’ on Trump? Wonder if he met with this kook? Anyhoo.....this guy’s business is OVER. MI6, my @ss. Wonder if he was fired?
We need to be careful who we allow to asssume the status of “spy.” It is being used to allow leftists with an axe to grind — who have done no spying or who are mere CIA bureaucrats — to attack Republicans.
After Trump won the republican nomination, I asked a person ‘connected’ what the establishments end game was in being never Trumpers. He did not believe they had one, I now believe it is to destroy Trump and replace him with Pence.
The same FusionGPS was hired by Planned Parenthood to discredit the lurid and incriminating videos that taped their executives making incredibly raunchy statements about fetus’s and selling fetus limbs.
So let me get this straight: Anti-Trump forces paid a private firm lots of money to dig up dirt on Trump. This guy couldn’t find any dirt so he essentially took stuff off the internet and made up a story so he could collect a paycheck. Does that sound right?
I would like to know who the Republican Candidate was as well.
So who was this “GOP Donor”??? McCain???
Am seriously curious as to why this wasn’t “leaked” before the election, if it’s truly all about discrediting/destroying Trump. Welcome Freeper thoughts on that.
Because no one thought he could win.
It is far from certain that the “spy” was responsible for all the fantastic crap in this report. In fact 4Chan claims that story began with their prank on Wilson, and that the “spy” angle was added later.

It might explain the odd, subversive behavior of certain Republican also-rans, too. Cruz knew.
It’s been speculated that cockiness on the part of the Clinton campaign led them to believe that they didn’t need to publicize this.
