The Senate Judiciary Committee is also investigating whether the FBI has wrongly relied on the anti-Trump dossier and its author, Christopher Steele — the old spy who was hired by Fusion GPS to build a Russia file on Trump — to aid its ongoing espionage investigation into the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Moscow.

The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August, during the heat of the campaign, and is said to have contracted in October to pay Steele $50,000 to help corroborate the dirt on Trump — a relationship that “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the bureau in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Some Dem is lying . . . can't imagine.

Don't fool yourself, there are a number of Republicans knee deep in this, too, starting with John McCain.

Nine months of MSM coverage and this sketchy Pee Pee Dossier is still the only tangible thing they can point to. LOL

#FakeNews is the only news there is now.

Fusion is/ was a faborite buzzword of gop establishment
I would suspect this “ sketchy firm” is a uniparty deep state toolbox
Gee when you create this wondrous bureaucracy what could possibly go wrong? A collaborative coup against the presidency won by the wrong man?

And McCain...

last year, Sen. John McCain gave a copy of the dossier to FBI Director James Comey, McCain has said — and asked him whether any of it was true.

The FBI reached a deal in October to pay a former British spy who had compiled a dossier on Donald Trump's alleged ties with Russia, an indication of how seriously the bureau was taking the allegations, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The deal for the former operative, Christopher Steele, to continue his work on behalf of the FBI fell apart when Steele pulled out, said the source, who has direct knowledge of the situation.

In the same August report, for example, Steele connected a Moscow trip taken by then-Trump campaign adviser Michael Flynn to "the Russian operation" to hack the election. But there was nothing secret about the trip, which had taken place months earlier and had been widely reported.

And there was nothing untoward about it. It was a dinner celebrating the 10th birthday of Russian TV network RT, and Flynn sat at the same table with Putin as US Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.

I didn't know that!

Comey and McCain are behind the "dirty dossier" that was used to ramp the Russian collusion lie up to impeachment levels. Note: The first one-on-one meeting between Trump and Comey was at Comey's request, to show Trump the "dirty dossier," so then it could be leaked to the media as a news-worthy story (probably leaked by Comey himself.)

The investigation of McCabe and Steele HAS to include John McCain’s role in the whole thing and how he ended up with the phoney dossier that he gave to the FBI.

McCain is a POS and he proves it everytime he rushes to get in front of a camera and mic!

Anyone else see anything disturbing with the idea of a government agency like the FBI, and agency ostensibly charged with investigating crimes; having that agency pay money to an opposition research group during a presidential campaign? Talk about tainted. No wonder the FBI is so clueless about identifying the shooting of Congressman Scalise as being politically motivated. The FBI now apparently reports to the DNC.

“The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August,”

WaPo just reported that the CIA sent super double secret eyes only information to the White House in... August 2016.
What a coincidence...
