Fusion GPS Founder Refuses To Identify Dossier Clients In Marathon Senate Session
Daily Caller ^ | Aug 22, 2017 | Chuck Ross

Posted on 08/23/2017 7:47:18 AM PDT by Ray76

In a marathon interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, the co-founder of Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm behind the uncorroborated anti-Trump dossier, refused to identify the political clients that commissioned the salacious document.

Fusion GPS also stands behind the dossier, a lawyer for the firm said at the end of a 10-hour interview given by co-founder Glenn Simpson.

Despite all the questions raised about the dossier, Levy, the lawyer for Simpson, says that Fusion GPS stands by the information in the document.

“Today, a special counsel and three congressional committees are investigating ties between the Russian government and the Trump campaign. Fusion GPS is proud of the work it has conducted and stands by it,” Levy said.

“This investigation into Mr. Simpson began as a desperate attempt by the Trump campaign and its allies to smear Fusion GPS because of its reported connection to the Trump dossier,” he added.

I thought you had to swear to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth when appearing before these congressional committees. Not so apparently.

I’d guess Jeb.

It was supposed to be Bush/Clinton, they were the anointed ones. Handing off sponsorship from one Uniparty faction to another makes sense.

The Bush family has a history of dirty tricks.

A majority of the whole Senate has to find him in contempt, and even then there is no willingness to inflict punishment.

He’s likely under separate criminal investigation anyway, although it’s unclear that laws were broken.

Cue Troy Gowdy to hit the networks with word that the committee really doesn’t have any enforcement capabilities.

Clinton Foundation? I remember all the dirty tricks with which they tried to destroy Obama the first time Hillary ran.

Closed session means they partied hardy while continuing their charade of investigation to the dupes known as the American people.

“Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has led a one-man campaign to find out more about Fusion GPS’ role in crafting the dossier. “

Grassley is to be commended for taking on this issue. The remaining 51 GOP senators apparently are more focused on collaborating with Democrats to block the president’s agenda.

If anything occurred in Halifax, I’d say McCain and/or Tim Kaine since both were there.

Senate Judiciary Committee: "OK Mr. Levy, we demand you tell us who paid for this document, since this is central to much of what we are all investigating"

Mr. Levy: "Screw off, I'm not telling."

Senate Judiciary Committee: "Pretty please?"

Mr. Levy: "Telling you that might help Trump, so no way"

Senate Judiciary Committee: "Well OK, then this concludes our investigation. Hey, let's all meet at Clancy's in 1 hour for Martinis... drinks are on the taxpayers!"

Then shared it with Comey. Who fell for the fake dossier.

That’s true. Maybe it is McCain. I would be surprised if it isn’t one of these two.

Comey is a fraud. He has the FBI relying on campaign claims rather than on their own investigation.

Another good guess... she would be smiling at Obama while sticking the knife in his back... typical Clinton MO.
