Full title: FED BOMBSHELL: Fusion GPS Bribed Dozens of MSM Journalists With Cash, While News Companies Paid Firm to Dig Dirt on Trump
High-ranking FBI insiders are pulling back the curtain on Fusion GPS, the firm that commissioned and spread the bogus Trump dossier.
It appears the embattled intelligence firm was quite busy paying off Big Media reporters, according to federal sources who have traced dozens of transactions between TD Bank and media members as well as media organizations, sources confirm.
But stunningly, Big Media organizations have employed Fusion GPS to dig dirt on politicians and D.C.’s elite — namely Donald Trump.
“Fusion GPS was on the payroll of the media and in turn had members of the media on its payroll,” one FBI insider said.

“There are dozens of payments from the media flowing into their (Fusion GPS’) account,” one federal law enforcement official said. “One company wired funds to Fusion (GPS) more than a dozen times.”
Fusion GPS is controlled by the Clintons and the Democrat Party.
This is a very important story. I have thought that something like this was going on. The Wikileaks Podesta emails show reporters asking Podesta and other Clinton campaign people what they should report and how they should report it.
Obama's top advisor Ben Rhodes said of the media "they literally know nothing" and spoke of how he told them what and what not to say.
BOMBSHELL! BREAKING! MASSIVE! Words that have lost all sense of impact here on FR.
true, but also accurate :)
“BOMBSHELL! BREAKING! MASSIVE! Words that have lost all sense of impact here on FR.”
Hey, I didn’t write the dumb headline.
But it is a very important article.
in the meanwhile, the whole government, every intelligence / security agency and media was stalin-esquely harnessed against the potential opposition, Donald Trump.
Stalin would be so proud of his son, Obama.
I believe this has been revealed before but am not 100% certain.
They need to release the names.
Oops!
I was wondering if Trump was going to wait till 2019 to start moving forward on this.
Logically it made sense but very risky.
Trump? Move on this? Tweet, yes, but actually do something? At this point, I’ll believe it when I see it.
These days when considering the Left I find neither far too convenient deaths nor corruption or knavery of any sort in any way surprising. You cannot bombshell when there’s nothing left of a good opinion to bomb.
The DNC and those who get far in it are all suspect. I pretty much “trust” them to do and support anything vile and repugnant.
... and my opinion of journalism is far lower than my opinion of used car salesmen. Lower than even my opinion of the legal profession.
They need to name names to call this a "bombshell".
I wonder if Shep is on that list??????
Would be interesting to see the names.
Why can’t this be publicly revealed? It has nothing to do with Trump and collusion but everything to do with Clinton election corruption.
It’s simple. The MSM cannot be trusted.
They are a wholely owned subsidiary of the DNC.
When the shtf, they will be second in line to die.

And FBI agents were given gifts, tickets to sports events/concerts, meals, etc. by the media members they were sharing info with.
That is what GPS Fusion does. That’s their whole reason for existence. This is no bombshell if you’ve been paying attention for the last year. They dig up dirt (real and imagined) on political opponents of their customers and then bribe journalists to print it. Their claim to fame is their MSM journalists’ contacts.
Oh I hear ya and I am taking this with a truckload of salt.
The theory is that there was not enough time before the election to begin building a case.
The GOP-e was scared they were going to be implicated and loose the Senate.
The intensity of the RATS to say and do anything might indicate there is something finally going on at the FBI.
They can’t all be as corrupt as the leadership.
But in the end, its very possible that this is all hopes on my part and that the RATS have won and got away free.
It would be even more interesting to see who is behind Fusion GPS.
But it is a very important article.
It’s an important article if and only if you thought beforehand that journalism and the Democrat Party were independent of each other. Which is a pretty naive thing to believe at this late date.In the real world, this is strictly “Dog Bites Man.”
In principle it does have value, tho - if it can be used in court to prove the interdependence of an entity which claims to be objective and the open Democrats.
The government has no business at all taking any action which is predicated on the assumption that journalism is objective. And that fact delegitimates the Federal Election Commission, for one example. It also delegitimates any government involvement in education which teaches that falsehood. In fact, it arguably delegitimates any government involvement in journalism schools as such.
“It’s an important article if and only if you thought beforehand that journalism and the Democrat Party were independent of each other. Which is a pretty naive thing to believe at this late date.”
In my comments I said, “I have thought that something like this was going on.” I very clearly stated that I thought the media were bought and controlled by the Democrats.
The article is important because it states that, “FBI insiders confirm Fusion GPS employed law firms as well as shell companies to send and receive funds to and from media and reporters.” In other words, the article states that there is documented evidence that Fusion GPS, which is known to be controlled by the Democrat Party, directly paid reporters.
The next step is to get the names of the reporters on the Fusion GPS/Democrat Party payroll.
