dailycaller.com ^ | Chuck Ross

Posted on 10/22/2017 5:18:50 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

President Trump called on the Department of Justice and FBI to reveal who paid opposition research firm Fusion GPS to produce the infamous anti-Trump dossier of research compiled last year by former British spy Christopher Steele.

“Officials behind the now discredited ‘Dossier’ plead the Fifth,” Trump wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “Justice Department and/or FBI should immediately release who paid for it.”

Trump was referring to Fusion co-founders’ Peter Fritsch and Thomas Catan pleading the Fifth during interviews with the House Intelligence Committee earlier this week.

The committee has recently ramped up its efforts to investigate the dossier. In addition to the subpoena for Fusion’s co-founders, the panel earlier this month subpoenaed Fusion’s bank, TD Bank, for records that would disclose the identities of its clients.

I’m sure he knows.

Why does he act like he’s not the boss of the fbi?

Odds on who paid for the dossier:
- Jeb Bush
- McCain
- Obama’s FBI/CIA

I'm confused. Can't he ORDER DOJ and FBI to release the info?

There are issues of Russian collusion involved. Better waterboard Steele.

My thought as well. Just order it released. The only reason not to do so — layman’s guess here — would be if the FBI is seriously pursuing a criminal case. But since the FBI seems to be in full sleepwalking/slow walking/coverup mode, just get the information out so the MSM can ignore it.

Paul Ryan (Romney) and Mitch McConnell (Bush) are behind all of this.

Low-level servants of the deep state, both of ‘em, but slavishly loyal.

Then again, if the Russians were worried about the Uranium One stuff coming to light, maybe it was the Russians. Colluding with the Clintons.

True. He’s playing up the drama. Now everyone is paying more attention to it.

The DOJ and the FBI don’t really seem to be part of his Administration. They act as protectors of the deep state and still behave like they are under Obama’s control. Sessions is a figurehead or worse and seems part of the cabal to stop Trump and take him down.

Oh he knows.

He’s just magnifying the issue......and rightly so.....to keep the interest up until ALL ....We the People.....take notice and realize the vile stench some folks will resort to .....as they hope to take down our country.

We need to know the truth.
We need to stay on this till ALL the rotten, stinking, vile players are discovered and routed out.

My $$ is on Hillary and Jeb. The fact that there is so much resistance tells me that it is one of those two.
