President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign hired controversial research group Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on then-Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, a new book claims -- raising questions about Democrats’ possible long-standing ties to the group.

Fusion GPS is the opposition research firm behind the “Trump dossier,” which contained what former FBI Director James Comey described as "salacious" and "unverified" allegations about then-candidate Donald Trump. The dossier cited Russian sources who said Russia had information that compromised Trump.

The firm was retained by Marc Elias, an attorney representing both the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign and the Democratic National Committee. It was then that Fusion GPS hired former British spy Christopher Steele to write the dossier.

So now we know just how long this activity has been going on--it started with Obama! Until this it was believed Fusion was hired by the Jeb Bush campaign, meanwhile, they were in Obama's pocket the whole time.

They used a target's divorce records to find dirt on them, when they went after a Romney mega-funder.

Doesn't that sound just like Obama's senate start?

I watched Martha MacCallum interview one of the authors, Michael Isikoff, on her show last night. It was like watching a rerun of "The Twilight Zone". They guy actually believes the drivel he's spewing. He dismissed Obama's use of Fusion GPS with a simple "the Republicans do it, too". Of course, he offered no proof. He believed all of the Schiff memo, and none of the Nunes memo, calling Nunes "partisan".

It was eye opening. Obama is god, Trump is the devil, facts be damned, in the Swamp Dung Universe.

Mr. RomneyCARE used FUSION-GPS himself. and more.

Yep, Isikoff is a leftist true believer.

Not Barrack Hussein Obama..the FIRST, and greatest, half white Muslim President that ever was?
The most Transparent admin,too!
He is American as Sharia Law, men in women’s showers and eating dog.

[Alas Babylon!]

Understand.

And this story is not so much about Romney, but Obama.

We tend to think Hillary Clinton is the font of evil, but so is Barry, and more so his advisors and sycophants—that became hers—that still haunt politics to this day.

THIS is why Trump has such trouble draining the swamp—it goes all the way to the previous top.

Didn’t they just make up stuff about Romney...oh. Never mind.

He was just being economical. He did not have to pay the FBI and CIA.

I bet Obama weaponized the CIA and FBI from Day One in the WH. You just know he used them, plus the NSA, as his little private STASI. Now, if we could get hard evidence for that. .
