Washington (CNN)Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that led to the now-infamous dossier of allegations about President Donald Trump and Russia, a source familiar with the matter told CNN.

The source said the law firm Perkins Coie, as part of its representation of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained the intelligence firm Fusion GPS and entered "into an engagement for research services that began in April 2016 and concluded before the election in early November." The Washington Post was first to report the news Tuesday.

haha, they're struggling to say that 'there were a few sentences in the doccier that were true'...

The CNN cafeteria has a stewed crow on the menu.

The alternate dish is fried buzzard.

It was simple opposition research./s

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yep..Dems saying “Hey nothing wrong with doing a lil opposition research” except when Donald Trump Jr did it, then it was IMPEACH IMPEACH

There is more to this then one would believe, CNN reporting is just political cover for Hillary, stay tuned!

[EQAndyBuzz]

It’s their last shot at trying to take down Trump. They are going to say the dossier is true.

It must have been painful for CNN to report this.

“haha, they’re struggling to say that ‘there were a few sentences in the doccier that were true’...”

Well there is a Russia and there is a Donald Trump but after that I doubt if there are any more facts. Maybe that there are prostitutes in Russian. But that is about it.

[Terry Mross]

If the dossier IS true not one Trump supporter would care.

[Spok]

Historically, politicians have been hanged for less.

Seems like I read after Fusion took the fifth before the congressional committee the committee subpoenaed Fusion's bank records. I believe a judge ruled the bank had to comply so I guess Team Clinton must have leaked the bad news to the Compost. I don't believe Hill and Bill have been in this deep of crap in their 30 year crime spree.

Hillary is reading modern history. Nicolae Ceaușescu was a Romanian Communist politician. He was general secretary of the Romanian Communist Party from 1965 to 1989, and hence the second and last Communist leader of Romania. He was also the country's head of state from 1967, serving as President of the State Council, from 1974 concurrently as President of the Republic,

Wondering if they paid for similar “opposition research” on the other serious candidates, Cruz for example?

[snarkytart]

Oh so now paying to concoct a big lie is funding research?

got it.

What is a banana now CNN??

[taterjay]

They were all so brazen in thinking they would take Trump and this electorate down. From the locals all the way to the top was just hubris.

[LongWayHome]

Hearing whispers that this is just the tip of the iceberg & some astounding stuff is on the way....MAGA.
