It wouldn’t surprise me if this came out of some French political thriller writer, and Steele paid the guy twenty-thousand for a month of effort.
The nine-million likely got cut up into dozens of expenses....all charged off on a company credit card. Someone likely pretended to be a Russian-hooker, and they dispensed ten-thousand for a weekend interview at some fancy hotel in Warsaw. Someone else pretended to be another hooker, and was dispensed another ten-thousand along the way. The Brit tax folks can’t prove nothing on the expense accounts and the money likely just kept shifting hour-by-hour.
The real audit that ought to be done here by the Brit IRS....is to make Fusion explain where the money went.
I think some of these people pocketed million dollar chunks. Some of the ones whose faces are on TV. That’s just me.
