NYT Reporter: Clinton Campaign Lawyer ‘Vigorously’ Denied Being Behind Dossier
The Daily Mail ^ | 10/24/17 | Peter Hasson

Posted on 10/24/2017 5:27:53 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Clinton campaign lawyer Marc Elias “vigorously” denied his involvement in the anti-Trump dossier that has made up the substance of the Russian collusion allegations, New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said.

Elias’ denial appears to have been intentionally misleading in light of new reporting from The Washington Post that Elias hired opposition research firm Fusion GPS on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Elias reportedly hired Fusion to dig up dirt on Trump as part of a project that became the Trump dossier. (RELATED: Clinton Campaign And DNC Funded Trump Dossier) 

“When I tried to report this story,” Vogel said of the Post report, “Clinton campaign lawyer [Marc Elias] pushed back vigorously, saying ‘You (or your sources) are wrong.'”

Another NYT reporter, Maggie Haberman, similarly accused Democrats of sanctimoniously lying about their funding of the Trump dossier.

“Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year,” Haberman wrote on Twitter, linking to the Post’s report.

The Clinton campaign and the DNC reportedly took over funding Fusion GPS in April 2016. A still-unknown Republican donor initially began funding the opposition research firm’s investigation of Trump up until that point.

About 2 weeks ago Trump said it’s the calm before the storm , everyone wondered what he meant, assumed it was NORKS because he was addressing a military crowd.

Maybe this. ?

When are investigators going to put McCain under oath and find out how he came to know about the fake dossier, why he sent a staffer to England to get a copy and then took it to Comey, himself?

The best indication that things might bust open is the way the NYT is bailing on the Clinton lawyer.

What is the next move for team Clinton, and by extension, the Uniparty establishment?

We live in interesting times.

Thousands of Americans (Democrats) will scream helplessly at the sky...

Isn't that similar to howling at the moon?

gag orders or nondisclosures don’t apply when it comes to responding to the Congress. Greg Jarrett looked it up and it sounds good to me.

Schiff can’t get on interviews fast enough - this is a riot! One that makes me pretty angry that our lawmakers have used our government as their playtoy to line their pockets, but an enjoyable bit of riot all the same.

Clinton and DNC now protecting McCain?

Or Bush’s?

=======================================================

THEY are all in this together. You don't think the DEMONFATS almost destroyed our Constitution without help from the REPUB's branch of the DEEP STATE, do you?

This won't get really GOOD until Paul Ryan is mentioned in helping the RATS. Hey Paul, what do they have on you?

The draining of the swamp might quicken with new revelations. DO NOT INDICT HILLARY TOO QUICKLY, there are other fish that need to be hooked.

I think someone ELSE paid for the dossier and this is just to stop the investigation into Fusion GPS Bank Records!

All they have to do is follow up with the investigations. Right now they are letting private persons do the leg work. Someone (Sessions) needs to get to work and or resign.
