At a hearing today, witnesses will testify that Fusion GPS, an organization behind an infamous dossier pumping the Russia-Trump collusion story, is a highly paid smear-for-hire operation in violation of international laws.
At a hearing this morning, Senate Judiciary members will receive testimony that Fusion GPS helped advocate the interests of corrupt Russian and Venezuelan officials while hiding its foreign work from federal authorities.
Many in the media have focused on whether Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort would testify publicly at the hearing. Less well covered has been anything to do with Fusion GPS, the “commercial research and strategic intelligence firm” behind the discredited “Russian dossier” that made outrageous and salacious allegations against President Donald Trump. The title of the hearing gives a clue that this lack of media interest in Fusion GPS is misguided: “Oversight of the Foreign Agents Registration Act and Attempts to Influence U.S. Elections.”
Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson told the committee through a lawyer he would refuse to cooperate with their inquiry, after he was subpoenaed to testify. A source told Politico he reached an agreement to speak with the committee privately. Manafort and Trump Jr. will also speak privately with the committee, according to the latest updates.

Founded by Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch, both of whom worked at the Wall Street Journal for years, “Fusion GPS understands how the media operates, how to kill a story, how to manufacture enough doubt to throw off a journalistic investigation, and what it takes for an editor to disqualify a journalist from pursuing a story,” he said.

Bkmrk.
Glenn Simpson has a lot to answer for. He’s allegedly the one who hired Christopher Steele to manufacture the phony Trump Dossier. That’s why he threatened to plead the fifth.
Since he’s threatened the fifth there’s something he’s hiding. Call him in, let him plead and then conduct a proper damned investigation to find out what he’s hiding.
Mollie Hemingway and Sean Davis at the Federalist are about my favorite authors.
Is “The Federalist” another manifestation of the Lyndon LaRouche cult’s publication “The New Federalist?”
Smells like it.

BS
Mollie is very good
Have you read their articles?
I’ve been reading them for about 2 years.
Some fluff but often hard hitting commentary.
But this is sooo wrong. The investigation should focus on collusion, Russia, Russia, Russia and more collusion. That’s what the newspapers all over the world have told us. And they can’t be wrong, can they?
‘Veselnitskaya hired Glenn Simpson of the firm Fusion GPS to conduct a smear campaign against me and Sergei Magnitsky in advance of congressional hearings on the Global Magnitsky Act.’ Bill Browder said.
Natalia Veselnitskya — the lawyer who met with Trump campaign officials at Trump Tower —
Bill Browder will also testify publicly against Fusion GPS.
Fritsch has got all kinds of Mexican connections
