The Hillary Clinton lawyer who hired Fusion GPS to produce the Trump dossier vigorously denied doing so to the New York Times earlier this year, according to one of their reporters. When I tried to report this story, Clinton campaign lawyer @marceelias pushed back vigorously, saying You (or your sources) are wrong, Times reporter Kenneth P. Vogel tweeted Tuesday evening.
The Washington Post earlier Tuesday reported that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier.
According to the report, the lawyer, Marc E. Elias, represented the Clinton Campaign and the DNC, and retained Fusion GPS to conduct research into Trumps ties with Russia.
After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, to conduct the research, the Post reported.

Any statement by the Clintons has to be carefully parsed. The Null Hypothesis is that they are lying through their teeth.
That they were willing to give the Washington Compost the information that it was the Hillary campaign and the DNC who paid them for their dirty business tells us that there is a lot more criminal activity involved and on their books. The congressional committee should subpoena all their financial records ASAP, before they can be destroyed.
And yes, we would like to know if it was the JEB! campaign that hired this dirty bunch during the primary season.
“I am worried about the guy under the NDA.”
He’s too conspicuous to take out. It’s more likely his family will be threatened or something, anything to change his story and lose or change evidence.
Can somebody see if Sessions is alive?
Of course the Clintons lie. It’s what criminals do. Every day I thank God that His Divine Intervention kept that criminal psychopath out of the White House last November.
Sam Weinberg:
I strenuously object?
Is that how its done? Hm?
Objection, your Honor!
Overruled
No, no. I STRENUOUSLY object.
Oh! You strenuously object. Then Ill take some time and reconsider.
What are our Progressive friends going to do when it becomes obvious that this stuff is blowing up in their faces and they are looking at prison time I can’t imagine that they will just allow themselves to go down without some violent pushback. So far it is pretty vicious but it is wailing and accusing and lawyering along with a few discrete witness disposals. I can’t believe that we won’t go through a violent period of perhaps open assassinations and real bombings and the like. They are being slowly blindsided by the Trump strategy of getting all this stuff out through the Mueller operation, surely to Mueller’s great consternation, and it is harder to credibly deny and oppose it when their own guy, hell their own whole crew of star leftie lawyers, is getting it out there.
Liberals now coming to the realization that liberals lie? Perhaps she should have corroborated the story with another source instead of being lazy and relying on LIEberals to confirm or deny events.
I would not be surprised if he was leaning on a Clintonism just like that.
A lawyer LIED? Whoa, STOP THE PRESSES!!!
blowing up in their faces and they are looking at prison time
Glad you believe it will happen. I don’t. I see this being drug through all Congress’ committees which will take forever. Maybe, just maybe, Jeff Sessions will appoint someone to investigate it, which will take forever and be done in secret. By the time it gets through all the committees and investigations it will be on the back burner of everyone in the country and will just fade away. Most of the people involved will already be out of government, senile, or dead.
I cannot decide if the Republicans ignoring all the criminality is because they will be ‘implicated’ or they want to fall back on ‘we didn’t want the citizenry to lose faith in the Government’ excuse.
Dear Republicans in DC: WE WANT ALL CRIMINALS EXPOSED, PROSECUTED AND PUNISHED. That is the only way we can build up respect for our ‘leaders’. Period.
The only thing that shocks me about all of this is that between Hillary’s Campaign and the DNC they paid a combined $10 million for this report but only after some worthless RINO had already paid for some of the report. The RINO probably dropped it after getting some preliminary summary but then phoned HRC HQ and tipped them off that they might find it interesting.
A fine example of Clinton speak parsing.
Only applies to Republicans. For democrats is psychological projection.
Check Elias out. He has been a Dem insider for years.
Well, that is the history of these things. So far Trump has done things differently. I am hoping he continues that way. i don’t think he wants to put Mrs Bill in jail, though. She is too valuable for her services in keeping the Democrat Party at odds with itself.
Talk about election fraud and fake news - sheesh, it’s Hillary generated fake news and the msm slopped it up like pigs at the trough.
Elias also represents Obama. And the DNC. He’s as insider as insider gets.
Lying to a reporter is unheard of My goodness, the poor NYT reporter has been wronged and that is a much bigger story then the actual fake dossier story. I despise the NYT but this level of whining is pathetic even by their standards. They were only all to willing to suspend any scepticism or suspicions and accept the story they wished to hear.
From what I heard this morning, this is the perp who found additional Franken votes in the trunk of a car.
