WASHINGTON — The Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website funded by a major Republican donor, was the first to hire the firm that conducted opposition research on Donald J. Trump — including a salacious dossier describing ties between Mr. Trump and the Russian government — website representatives told the House Intelligence Committee on Friday.
According to people briefed on the conversation, the website hired the firm, Fusion GPS, in October 2015 to unearth damaging information about several Republican presidential candidates, including Mr. Trump. But The Free Beacon told the firm to stop doing research on Mr. Trump in May 2016, as Mr. Trump was clinching the Republican nomination.

Mr. Singer initially supported Senator Marco Rubio’s campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. But after Mr. Rubio dropped out of the race, Mr. Singer spearheaded an effort to block Mr. Trump from winning the presidential nomination, drawing Mr. Trump’s ire.
As well as contributing to private initiatives, Singer also actively seeks to persuade other Republicans to support gay marriage.[11][111] He has joined other Wall Street executives in support of LGBT equality and stated that same-sex marriage promotes “family stability” and that in a time when “the institution of marriage in America has utterly collapsed,” the fact that gay couples want to marry “is kind of a lovely thing and a cool thing and a wonderful thing.”[112][113]

But they are saying they didn’t fund the dossier info.
Does anyone know when Fusion GPS retained Christopher Steele?
I’m predicting a fall-off of threads posted here from the WFB in the future.
I called it earlier this week....Marco Rubio. Singer is his backer.
NeverTrumpers selling their souls to get Communist Democrats elected..NEVER EVER forget that..they are WORSE than Democrats because at least Democrats tell us what they want to turn America into..NeverTrumpers..AKA Progressive Republicans, LIE about their agenda
Paul singer you know I’m not even going to bother to comment but calls it’s always like this
Just heard Tucker Carlson say that Bill Krystol was somehow involved as well, FWIW.
Soon we’ll have the Fusion bank transactions.
And we’ll know for sure if this is BS or not.
The Trump dossier was a shameful attempt at character assassination. In addition to portraying Donald Trump as a sexual deviant, it attempted to show that Trump was in collusion with the Russian government. Much effort is being made to determine who initially funded the defamation. The House has subpoenaed the bank records of the company that assembled much of the dossier but it will be difficult to sift through layers and determine with certainty who did the initial funding.Was Singer the front man? Was he fronting for Rubio? Doubtful. Or was it more likely that the embittered Bush family initiated the process. There is no doubt the Obama Administration, with a corrupt Justice Department and compromised FBI , used the dossier to harm Trump, aid Clinton and shield themselves from becoming accountable for their crimes by assuring the election of Clinton. When this is over Trump will have his cold revenge. He will not only expose the culpability of the Bush family but will expose their close collusion with the Saudis that made them wealthy. That collusion directly led to the absolution of the Saudi royal family and government for any responsibility for 9/11 and led to the catastrophic US invasion of Iraq. Trump will also expose the Obama administration and the Clintons for all its deviant personal and criminal deeds.
The greatest anger should be directed at the Bush family and their phoniness that led to so many dead , physically and psychologically maimed young Americans.
Paul Singer....major pro-gay donor to GOP. iirc his son is gay. I could be wrong.
Has nothing to do with the dossier, or with Obama using the dossier as reason to spy on Trump.
Singer is a big open borders guy like his puppet Marco Rubio.
I have no desire to whitewash the WFB or Paul Singer, but I want to understand the purported ‘conservative” involvement with GPS Fusion, in terms of scope of work and cost, before I condemn anyone. My suspicion is that the “Republican” phase was a small taters research project with no shady distribution. Wonder why the Dems are so desperate for the GPS bank records to remain hidden...?
Eye on the ball - HRC still paid them 6 million dollars.
Didn’t know Paul Singer was a financier of Free Beacon. Singer is big time supporter of homosexual marriage.
How Rubio’s backer, Paul Singer, makes his billions.
