Dr Tedros, the dirty head of WHO, hired this dirty “expert” to get back at Trump after Trump cut off WHO from American funds and criticized Tedros. Kind of like hiring an “expert” to submit expert testimony on your side during litigation. You pay them to testify to a foregone conclusion for your side not for impartial research. Usually the “experts” on either side of the case cancel each other out.
I had not thought of that, but I'll bet you are 100% correct.
To me it sounds much more like Hillary Clinton getting the DNC and her campaign to use the Perkins Coie law firm to pay for the fantasy "Steele Dossier."
