Report: Paul Singer-Funded Washington Free Beacon Behind Initial Fusion GPS Trump Effort
Breitbart ^ | October 27, 2017 | Adam Shaw

The Washington Examiner reported Friday that lawyers for the Free Beacon — a plucky conservative outlet based in the nation’s capital — funded the project from fall 2015 to spring 2016, when it pulled its funding.

The Free Beacon is funded in large part by the New York hedge fund billionaire and major GOP donor Paul Singer, the New York Times reported.

“Washington Free Beacon did not provide the info to the Clinton campaign. They hired Fusion GPS to find negative info on President Trump. WFB dropped the interest and the Clinton campaign picked it up/paid for info from Russian GPS.”

That is how I understand it.

Bill Kristol is the major financier of Free Beacon. His daughter is the Editor.

After Singer or whoever the Republican was stopped paying them and after the Clintons and the DNC got involved. The dossier is entirely a Clinton/DNC/Kremlin operation.

Pickle is a metaphor. Consider the allegations of homosexuality.

Hi, nopardons! The only way to endure the good sections of Tucker’s show is to dvr it. We buzz through any of his crazy guests and try to focus on people like Victor Hansen Davis, etc. He needs to get rid of the crazies; it makes his show unendurable.

5 Times Paul Singer Funded Globalist Nonsense Before the Anti-Trump Dossier
