The New York Post has an explosive report on the infamous “dossier” that tried to smear Donald Trump in order to swing the presidential election to Hillary Clinton. The source of the dossier is a Democratic Party opposition research firm called Fusion GPS:
The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House. *** Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.
No surprise there. What is shocking is the FBI’s apparent involvement in the effort to smear Trump with false rumors:
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.
It raises more questions than that. Why was the FBI meddling in a U.S. presidential election? Partisan interference in the election by public agencies like the FBI and major news sources like NBC are far more worrisome than anything Russians allegedly might do from afar.
The FBI, too, is trying to stiff Congress’s investigation into the fake dossier:
Senate investigators are demanding to see records of communications between Fusion GPS and the FBI and the Justice Department, including any contacts with former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, now under congressional investigation for possibly obstructing the Hillary Clinton email probe, and deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe, who is under investigation by the Senate and the Justice inspector general for failing to recuse himself despite financial and political connections to the Clinton campaign through his Democrat activist wife. Senate investigators have singled out McCabe as the FBI official who negotiated with Steele.
Like Fusion GPS, the FBI has failed to cooperate with congressional investigators seeking documents.
It appears that the Democratic Party has successfully corrupted the FBI as well as the CIA.
Haha ... Imelda Marcos is a name I haven’t heard in quite some time - was in Oki when that went down too...
The man has only been at the job for five (?) months.
major player is McCain.
He was the dossier bag man to Comey in December, when Comey already knew about that dossier and had a copy.
And nobody is questioning why McCain got involved in the first place.
MSM had the dossier story and refused to go with it because it was so bad.
“Trump should walk over to the FBI headquarters with the Secret Service in tow and assert his authority as the President to demand the documents be released to him before he leaves the building.”
I think Trump driving would be okay.
L
McCain, the senile old fool, has been quiet lately
Another Freeper posted that Mueller is independent counsel, not independent prosecutor, so that he can't prosecute anyone. (??)
McCabe bought the dossier for 50k...
So the FBI used taxpayer money to buy opposition research on the Republican candidate during the Presidential campaign.
Then there was an attempt to hack our election... by the FBI.
I can tell you all that one of the reasons there has not yet been a Grand Jury into Harry Reid racketeering is because of a coverup by FBI and DOJ elements. If I’ve got evidence at my level of this overt corruption, you can guarantee it goes all the way to the top.
Ping!
And don’t forget about John McCains role in this. Another democrat going for a Trump smear.
Yeah, Trump is known for playing nicey nicey and not staunchly defending himself...
It’s what we’ve known all along and the whole house of cards is going to come tumbling down.
When you try to drain the swamp, the monsters that dwell within fight back hard. Unfortunately for them, we have the truth on our side and everybody knows it.

Thanks, 2ndDivisionVet.
Thanks for Ping LucyT, this is some Heavy stuff
DWS computer. THAT holds the key
The Gestapo WORKED for Hitler.
The FBI is in business for itself, just like the CIA and all the rest.
It’s become clear that they are accountable to no one.
Sessions was incredibly loyal to Trump.Rumors were he could have had any job he wanted. This is where he wound up.
