“So they took what I told Rick Wilson and added a Russian spy angle to it.”
My pure guess is that Jeb’s team had one of their big donors contract with the sleazy oppo firm directly on this—and that it didn’t officially go through his organization. His organization may have contracted directly with the firm otherwise.
Bull$hit it WAS little Jebby. Check this out from Reuters...
“Steele was initially hired by FusionGPS, a Washington, DC-based political research firm, to investigate Trump on behalf of unidentified Republicans who wanted to stop Trump’s bid for the GOP nomination. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that Steele was initially hired by Jeb Bush, one of Trump’s 16 opponents in the 2016 Republican primary. It was not immediately possible to verify the BBC’s report.
He was kept on assignment by FusionGPS after Trump won the nomination and his information was circulated to Democratic Party figures and members of the media.”

President-elect Trump should demand McConnell remove them from leadership posts. Party loyalty means ending Never Trump. Period. Time to play hardball with Congress.
lol....
Weren’t all the footnotes annotated to 2012 documents?
There's a few politicians that I hope come down with a bad case of salsa bowels.
OF COURSE it was Jeb! People who run for Mayor have bigger campaigns than Linda Graham ran and the only other one with the resources and ethics to do this would have been Lyin Ted but his campaign manager Jeff Roe is more oriented toward plastering windshields with fake voter notices and screwing Dr. Carson.
Who really expects Jeb! to come right out and admit it? He’s always been a low-energy wuss.
Listening to O’Reilly isn’t necessarily going to get you the truth, at least not the full truth. Last night during O’Reilly’s opening rant, which was all about pee-gate, he never mentioned McCain. How could anyone give an honest synopsis of what is so far known about this debacle and not mention McCain’s involvement? O’Reilly can and did.
He’s also a poltroon.
So, when “Jeb Bush” denies this BBC’s report - HE is taken for the absolute truth and completely verified by Hillary’s fake news team!
But a democrat talking point (lies about Russia hacking the election) is declared an absolute truth, even when Assange denies it. BECAUSE Assange denied it it must be true!
Not necessarily Jeb. Remember whose daddy was once head of the CIA. I'm sure a phone call in the right ears would have gotten the ball rolling without any involvement from Jebbie.
Senator Linda Graham is barking up the wrong tree.
Muslim terrorists are the most dangerous now, China next, with Obama-empowered Iran coming on fast.
But Linda is too righteous to allow himself to think about Muslim terrorism. That would be racist, and death and destruction is preferable to the mere accusation of racism.
Not saying I believe Bush paid for this thing but just how credible is any denial or any assertion from any of these people?
FWIW, I expect Russians, Romney, Bushes, Clintons, Obama to pull this kind of crap.
What I did NOT expect is that the ******* British gov’t would aid and abet.
We’ve got far bigger problems than we thought.
It was Mom!
Right, which is why I pointed out the Bushes’ multigenerational CIA involvement.
Notably his spokeswoman didn’t even deny thay his campaign was involved. And campaigns provide buffers so their dirty works aren’t directly linkable to their candidates—as Proect Veritas exposed with the Clinton campaign this summer.
I was thinking that very thing when I read the part of this article that said the republican who was paying for oppo research ended the relationship in June when Trump was the winning primary nominee.....
Ted was the second to last man standing although Kasich could have done it too....running for president seemed to cause him to lose all sense of reality.
I missed your post. First I've heard of "multigenerational". Who besides dad??? Of course GWB was automatically "involved" as president.
Exactly.
