Current and past leaders of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) say they had no knowledge that the national party was helping to fund a dossier compiled by a British spy that contained scandalous accusations about President Trump.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC paid millions to the law firm Perkins Coie, where Democratic lawyer Marc Elias worked with the opposition research firm Fusion GPS to construct the memo, which was compiled by British spy Christopher Steele.
The memo is at the center of several investigations into Russian meddling and it may have been used by the FBI as part of its investigation into allegations that Trump campaign officials had improper contacts with Russian officials. Former FBI director James Comey has said none of the allegations in the memo have been verified.
The bombshell Washington Post report has emboldened President Trump, who on Wednesday lashed out at the “fake dossier” and described it as the cornerstone of “the whole Russia hoax.”
DNC communications director Xochitl Hinojosa said chairman Tom Perez, who only became the Democratic leader in April, had nothing to do with the arrangement. The law firm Perkins Coie handles a range of issues for the DNC.

If she said it it must be true.
Did the FBI look at her laptop?
That’s completely believable.
After all, they were pretty ignorant about what the Awans were up to, and how much they were overcharging while they violated every security precaution in the book.
Such an impeccable witness.
Awan to know the truth!
This strains believability.
So Debbie W. Schulz was in charge of the DNC, the top banana, and in her position as top banana, had no idea that her organization was spending money in this manner??? Really???? She’s going to claim that she didn’t have a clue where money was being spent????
“...DNC paid millions...”
Sure - that kind of coin is billed and paid out with no one taking much notice. Happens all the time.
The Hillary Dossier will be better known in American history than the Zimmermann Telegram.
Hang on while I suspend reality and my disbelief
Let’s see who signed the checks.
And work backwards from there.
So this must mean an end to the Mueller investigation, now that the media is back peddling the Russia/Trump collussion narrative right? RIGHT?????
According to the Dems, Sgt. Schultz knew more about it.
You can say the same for Hillary. They play dumb and get away with it. Actually they are dumb but still get away with it.
$6 million in payments.
“Unaware”
But of course. It all happened without anyone’s knowledge. Spontaneously!
so she knows even LESS then hiLIARy?
I like the way you think!
It’s old news, but we still want to know who hired Craig Livingstone.
No one ever seemed to know. How strange.
