A bank has reportedly handed over a series of financial records from intelligence firm Fusion GPS after the firm pushed to prevent the documents from being given to Congress.
The release of the documents was in response to a subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee as part of its probe into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election and ties to the Trump campaign.
A congressional lawyer said Friday that TD Bank "produced all remaining responsive documents" to the House Intelligence Committee under the terms of a confidential settlement, CNN reported.
The handover of the 70 documents comes after a federal judge on Thursday dismissed the firm's protests to the documents being turned over to Congress.
Fusion GPS has argued that records turned over to Congress are likely to leak, potentially exposing their clients' identities, violating the firm's First Amendment rights and damaging their business.
The firm said on Thursday it would appeal the judge's ruling.
Fusion GPS had contracted former British intelligence agent Christopher Steel for research that later became part of a dossier of unverified claims about President Trump's ties to Russia.
Trump and other Republicans have since slammed the dossier as politically motivated, claims that the intelligence firm has dismissed.
Fusion GPS officials have hit back at House Republicans, saying they do not believe the dossier led to the federal probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling.
I’m not sayin’ we should be like the other side is, but if we were those docs would be posted on the internet by now.
Maybe a deposit into Fusions bank acct from the McCain Institute ?
Multiple electronic deposits from a Clinton Foundation front group PAC ?
A series? Like what a few/half instead of ALL?!
We are going to find out who paid GPS.
And most importantly the Media and journalist GPS paid to lie
about Trump.
Bet they turned over all the records except for the ones Congress really wants.

(then piss on him)
Yep.
Aside from paying journalists, how about some payments to the Russian lawyer who set Don Jr up with the Trump Tower meeting...

Bingo!
Bingo!
This is huge. There wont be any “holding” back records since its the bank that will be govong them over and the bank has no reason to hold back because it is not under investigation.

Exactly right.
People expect information to be withheld in this transaction. I don’t think so. It’s a bank. A federally regulated bank. Congress wants records? The bank pushes the button and says, “Here’s the data. Sir.”
The bank isn’t stupid.
My hands aren’t small enough to do that
Those records are probably quite washed over by now. No hope of getting any big fish implicated. Little small fish like Steele.
I think I recall seeing that the Russian lawyer was escorted while in the U.S. by old Ron (Commie) Dellums who retired from the House after serving the CA 9th District for 27 years. It would be interesting to know why Dellums was selected for this job.
