Trump Hints He Knows GOP Donor Behind Dossier, ‘I Have One Name…It Will Probably Be Revealed’
thegatewaypundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Posted on 10/25/2017 12:57:12 PM PDT by davikkm

The Washington Post published a bombshell on the discredited Trump dossier on Tuesday.

As Kristinn Taylor reported earlier on The Gateway Pundit the WaPo article claims the 2016 presidential campaign of Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paid for the Fusion GPS dossier alleging Russian ties with the presidential campaign of Republican Donald Trump and sordid phony personal smears of Trump.The Post reported that Clinton campaign and DNC lawyer Marc Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS to continue researching Trump after a Republican donor who originally funded the research pulled out in April 2016. Fusion GPS’s work researching Trump began during the Republican presidential primaries, when the GOP donor paid for the firm to investigate the real estate magnate’s background.

Fusion GPS did not start off looking at Trump’s Russia ties but quickly realized that those relationships were extensive, according to the people familiar with the matter.

When the Republican donor stopped paying for the research, Elias, acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, agreed to pay for the work to continue. The Democrats paid for research, including by Fusion GPS, because of concerns that little was known about Trump and his business interests, according to the people familiar with the matter.

If a donor, then Bob Mercer, the Cruz sugardaddy.

Another former? member of the law firm Perkins Coie is this guy, Robert / Bob Bauer :

(snip) During the 2008 election, while representing the Obama campaign, Bauer sent a threatening letter to the Justice Department demanding criminal investigations of people who had the audacity to speak about voter fraud. Bauer even singled out Sarah Palin in the letter. Anyone who “developed or disseminated” information about voter fraud, to Bauer, deserved the heavy boot of a criminal investigation. Read the letter; it reveals a nasty, thuggish, and lawless attitude toward political opposition. --- A New, More Sinister IRS Scandal PJ Media ^ | April 17, 2013 | J.

Or, the Rickett’s. They were at first anti-Trump, just like Mercer.

The “donor” is Rove....I’m guessing. With McCain as a main player.

March 20-16 Blast from the past:
At Secretive Meeting, Tech CEOs And Top Republicans Commiserate, Plot To Stop Trump

Karl Rove shared focus group findings that give hope to the GOP establishment.

“The key task now, to once again paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him,” Kristol wrote. “In general, there’s a little too much hand-wringing, brow-furrowing, and fatalism out there and not quite enough resolving to save the party from nominating or the country electing someone who simply shouldn’t be president.”

A highlight of the gathering was a presentation by Rove about focus group findings on Trump. The business mogul’s greatest weakness, according to Rove, was that voters have a very hard time envisioning him as “presidential” and as somebody their children should look up to. They also see him as somebody who can be erratic and shouldn’t have his (small) fingers anywhere near a nuclear trigger.”

“Rove”

This does sound like a globalist gope operation...The Rove, Romney, Bush, McStain cabal.

Did I mention we are in dire need of treason trials and hangings on the national mall?

Kasich and Cruz the only two who hung on until May 2016. Everyone else bailed before April 2016. Jeb bailed Feb. 20th 2016.

yep...check this out- from LW esquire mag 6 days ago- Trump was sending out hints and they were all excited he was sweating the dossier BS

President Trump Is Once Again Sweating About ‘The Dossier’

He railed against it with debunked claims on Twitter this morning.

“Workers of firm involved with the discredited and Fake Dossier take the 5th. Who paid for it, Russia, the FBI or the Dems (or all)?”

I heard several times it was Manafort. He got involved in the dossier research before he went to work for the Trump campaign.

I don’t think McCain was involved in creating that disgraceful sick, perverted dossier.

However, when a copy of the completed dossier “accidentally” landed in his lap, McStain shopped it around to all the major news outlets who knew it was a libelous fake piece of cr@ap and wouldn’t use it for a story. So McStain finally gave it to his buddy Comey.

Now McStain is playing Mr. Innocent about the whole thing, as if he had saintly intentions regarding the dossier.

Not out of the realm. It's either him or the Bush clan.
