The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about Donald Trumps connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.
Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.
Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community.
Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Prior to that agreement, Fusion GPSs research into Trump was funded by a still unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.
The Clinton campaign and the DNC through the law firm continued to fund Fusion GPSs research through the end of October 2016, days before Election Day.
Fusion GPS gave Steeles reports and other research documents to Elias, the people familiar with the matter said. It is unclear how or how much of that information was shared with the campaign and DNC, and who in those organizations was aware of the roles of Fusion GPS and Steele. One person close to the matter said the campaign and the DNC werent informed of Fusion GPSs role by the law firm.
The dossier has become a lightning rod amid the intensifying investigations into the Trump campaigns possible connections to Russia. Some congressional Republican leaders have spent months trying to discredit Fusion GPS and Steele, and tried to determine the identity of the Democrat or organization that paid for it.

The Agitprop will be busy tonight.
This is old news.
This was already debunked
This is just an attempt by the “Right-wing” to attack Me/Us
This is just an attempt to defect attention away from Trumps involvement with Russia.
This just shows us how dangerous Trump is to America.
Comes a time even the buzzards cannot stomach the stench and take a pass.

So there IS a uniparty. Where Bush/Romney ends, Clinton starts.
Heh, if that whacked-out freak isn't dirty in this...he's falling down on the job.
PLEASE!
You're making me sick here.
Just watch... Hillary and her whol cabal are a forest of poisoned trees... and any efidence we get from them is inadmissable... lol
And who was the “Repub” cat’s paw that got his hands on it and “turned it in”? I’ll bet he was in on it from the beginning too....
Foreign Intelligence Surveillence Act. The DNC used the dossier and the Trump, Jr. meeting in Trump tower, as an excuse to monitor communications of the Trump campaign and his transition team after he was elected.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Paul Manafort and Russians are keys to the Dossier & uranium deal.
Thanks for posting this story.
LOL! It wasn’t aimed at you. Hopefully, there will soon be nothing much left of the counter-culture kids except for the crazy Antifa show.
Just a few observations and thoughts.
Can the MSM really believe they can make ALL this go away by simply NOT reporting it?
At what point does the media become a co-conspirator?
At what point do the Government Officials that have intimate knowledge of what has been going on get scared and really open the flood gates?
If you haven’t seen this from FrontPagMag today, it’s a good read.
