So where's this GOP mystery donor who paid for Fusion GPS's Trump 'dossier'?

The sordid fabricated story of the Donald Trump "golden showers" "dossier," put out there by Beltway smear professionals is being chipped away by congressional hearings, and the Democratic perpetrators of it and their media allies, doesn't look good.  Fusion GPS, a left-wing opposition research firm that specializes in smears, took the cash from someone in the matter, and news got out that the existence of the file came about at the bequest of one big fat-cat Republican donor – who subsequently changed his mind and withdrew support.

There is one problem.  There doesn't seem to be a GOP fat-cat donor.  Glenn Simpson, who founded Fusion GPS, has testified before Congress behind closed doors and reportedly refused to name the name, even under those cosseted conditions.

Like all the media fake news about Trump and Russia, accounts of Fusion GPS and the so called Golden Showers Dossier appear to be nothing but lies.

Despite media report after report of high level Republican donors sponsoring the Fusion GPS smear job, it turns out no one can say who it was.

Report was probably planned and financed done by Democrats like Obama and Hillary. And maybe Soros had a role.

Unless he paid in cash the money can be traced.

Can’t help noticing that they didn’t say “Trump donor”. A lot of people donating to Hillary were also donating to Jeb!. Trump was the only major non-globalist. I doubt they donated to him, maybe to the republican party but not to Trump.

Well, private detective client privileges are the easiest to pierce I think.

The Senate and House can’t pierce a watermelon with a knitting needle. They can’t even enforce their own subpoenas.

I imagine Judicial watch will be able to get there and reasonably quick 2-3 years.

I don’t think there is anyone in Washing DC, that doesn’t know where this came from. Hillary/Soros! She will be found out, it is hard to hide these things forever, too many people involved. When the truth comes out it will simply be called a prank or one of the little tricks that all campaigns do. and it will be quickly forgotten.

Jeb’s biggest backer by far was Hank Greenberg of AIG.

“My guess is Heb Bush”

Or Poppy, or a joint venture with Romney.

A lot of people here are not woke to the fact that Trump’s Republican problem is MUCH bigger than his Democrat problem.

FWIW, I think the money is less important than the authorization to do it. And for that answer, I wouldn’t limit investigators to domestic suspects. I’d take a look at foreign governments, particularly the EU.

As soon as Cruz made peace with Romney and Romney started helping him, the slander of Trump's wife was put out. With that as an example of how the Romneybots think, I figure that if Romney isn't the one who paid Fusion GPS, he put the right people together to get the smear out.

They don’t care about enforcing subpoenas or investigating anything. Its all about putting on another phony show for the folks back home. The GOP is totally worthless.

I think it was Jeb but both are equally vile. I think McCain’s hatred of Trump was so deep that he did happily become the delivery boy thinking it was true. McCain is frankly unhinged. If he were president the 25th amendment would be quite valid to be used. He would get us in a nuclear war if president.

Why one? Could be two or more. Plenty of treacherous Never-The-People’s-Choice oligarchs running around.
