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.

These people will be lying up to the time they are six feet under!
Fusion GPS should be forced to turn over their books to see who was paying them.
What they say to the press means NOTHING.
They all need to be interviewed by a US Attorney.
I have never known d3bbie to lie before.
Their excuses sound like George Clooney and Tom Hanks and Matt Damon.
Smart strategy on their part. They’re aiming to blame it on some ‘renegade staffer’, perhaps the treasurer, who had to sign off on the finance reports.
Better him than Noodles (who’s still in Congress) or The Beast.
Every time Wasserman-Schultz lies her hair gets more curly.
“the memo, which was compiled by British spy Christopher Steele.”
So the Brit’s are still trying to take back the colonies, after having their collective arse’s handed to them twice.
“going to claim that she didn’t have a clue where money was being spent????”
Let her try to make the case, under oath and in front of a Grand Jury, that she was unaware of $3.9mil in payments to the law firm.
After the law firm has been tossed by an 0500 FBI raid, seizing every stinkin’ computer in the house.
And 17 consecutive days of everyone around her being queried under oath in front of that same Grand Jury.
She’ll tell everything she knows and agree to testify against any and everyone.
of course they were/ s
of course they were/ s
LOL, OMG! These people are so out of touch with reality. You have been busted, caught red handed.
No, no, no, no, no.... no one knew a THING! The $millions just magically (and unauthorizedly) made their way from the DNC coffers to the former Brit spy by way of THE DNC law firm without anyone at the DNC knowing the first thing about it. Must be an auto-pen gone rogue.
.
My hope in the situation is that so many “little” guys in the DNC and elsewhere get caught up in the legal stuff that they start singing. This time there are too many players with knowledge that no doubt someone will sing all the way to the top.
The Fusion GPS bank records will be interesting.
Yes, that solves everything. The media will believe her and move on. Back to Trump bashing
And in other news, the Easter Bunny is real.
She didn’t know. Hillary didn’t know. It was the immaculate deception.
“I know NOTHING!”.....
