Hillary had to know all about the dossier
The New York Post ^ | October 27, 2017 | Douglas E. Schoen and Andrew Stein

Posted on 10/27/2017 7:57:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

This week, the news broke that Marc Elias, general counsel to Hillary for America and a partner at the law firm Perkins Coie, hired the research firm Fusion GPS to commission the infamous Steele Dossier on President Trump.

It is now clear that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC paid for it, although no one is acknowledging why it was done, how it was executed and what use the dossier was made for. More important: The latest communication from Clinton officials is tantalizing only in that it suggests Hillary herself likely knew about it.

When asked if Hillary Clinton was aware of the dossier and its financing, former campaign spokesman Brian Fallon told CNN, “She may have known, but the degree of exactly what she knew is beyond my knowledge.”

When asked to clarify, Fallon waffled, saying that Clinton “may or may not have been aware.”

Former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said she, too, was “not aware of anything related to this research arrangement.”

Yet it’s clear that the senior-most officials in the Clinton campaign and the DNC were aware of the dossier. After all, public FEC filings show that the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid Perkins Coie a combined $12.4 million.

What in God’s name was this money for?

One of us served as a campaign strategist and advisor for as many as four decades, and the other served as an elected official for 25 years.....

Someone had to check off on the expenditures. Not everyone has that authority...especially for those amount

The DNC treasurer is Andrew Tobias.
The hillary campaign treasurer is Jose Villarreal.

Some reporter should just ask them who checked off on these expenses.

When Hillary loses Doug Schoen...

We now know that not only was there collusion with Russians but that it was all paid for by DNC/Hillary because the Washington Free Beacon had stopped paying Fusion GPS to do opposition research before the dossier was compiled. Their admission tonight just confirms that the Russia collusion all occured after they’d dropped out.

She may have known about it at the time, but by now I am sure she cannot recall. Besides, there is no obvious intent.

No doubt about it.

but by now I am sure she cannot recall.

LOL! And with a memory that poor, she is surely not qualified to ever be POTUS. ;)

Thank goodness she lost to a man who is smarter and healthier than she is; a man with a quick wit who is a genuinely nice person, from what I have read.

Well, that certainly clears things up. ;) LOL!

Don't think there is a third option, Mr. Fallon...

It's like, you can't be a "little bit pregnant." You are or you aren't...

Who hired Craig Livingston?

By the Clintons recounting, he just walked in off the street as a thug, claimed an office, and took over White House security all on his own for years.

Does anyone actually believe that Hillary would not know exactly what was taking place within her campaign?

Wasserman probably masked the payments by mixing them in with the Muzzie spies they hired to do their IT work....
