Trump Hints He Knows GOP Donor Behind Dossier, ‘I Have One Name…It Will Probably Be Revealed’
thegatewaypundit ^ | Cristina Laila

Posted on 10/25/2017 12:57:12 PM PDT by davikkm

The Washington Post published a bombshell on the discredited Trump dossier on Tuesday.

As Kristinn Taylor reported earlier on The Gateway Pundit the WaPo article claims the 2016 presidential campaign of Democratic Party nominee Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee paid for the Fusion GPS dossier alleging Russian ties with the presidential campaign of Republican Donald Trump and sordid phony personal smears of Trump.The Post reported that Clinton campaign and DNC lawyer Marc Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS to continue researching Trump after a Republican donor who originally funded the research pulled out in April 2016. Fusion GPS’s work researching Trump began during the Republican presidential primaries, when the GOP donor paid for the firm to investigate the real estate magnate’s background.

Fusion GPS did not start off looking at Trump’s Russia ties but quickly realized that those relationships were extensive, according to the people familiar with the matter.

When the Republican donor stopped paying for the research, Elias, acting on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC, agreed to pay for the work to continue. The Democrats paid for research, including by Fusion GPS, because of concerns that little was known about Trump and his business interests, according to the people familiar with the matter.

McCain?

McCain's connection to the fake dossier has been known since at least January. He found out about it, dispatched an emissary overseas to obtain a copy, and then shared the copy with James Comey on 9 December in a one-on-one meeting.

However, there is no evidence he was the one who commissioned the dossier's creation. The logical suspects would be Romney, Kasich, Cruz ... Whoever it was decided the Fusion GPS output was not worth paying for.

MCCain is my guess. The old coot is just an ahole these days.

McCain made sure it got to Comey. But there is no evidence he had a hand in creating it.

McCain was my first thought...but Kasich is where I would put my money.

Why?

John Kasich has received over $700000 for his presidential campaign from organizations connected with George Soros

On Breitbart News Daily, a caller reminded us that the Clintons bought the dossier and other oppo research from...

JEB Bush.

Hillary bought this anti-Trump Russian dossier from Jeb when he dropped out of the race.

Or Jeb gave it to her for free.

(I remember hearing this over a year ago, as well. JEB and HW’s CIA Cold War connections still in effect?

Let’s never forget what George H W Bush said to Soviet Russia’s Gorbechev about Reagan and the conservatives who voted for Reagan... that they were all blockheads and idiots or some other such traitorous meme.

George W. came out swinging this week. That tells me the Bushes know that Jeb’s fingerprints are on the dossier.

...often do donate to the campaigns of their colleagues to help their side win.

These folks are donors. The ones that can actually make a difference are DONORS!
