The House Intelligence Committee suspects journalists may have been paid to report on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Washington Times reports:
Rep. Devin Nunes, California Republican and chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, signed a subpoena to force a bank to turn over Fusion’s financial records. He wants to know who paid for the dossier, which was written in a series of 18 memos by former British spy Christopher Steele. He relied almost exclusively on unidentified Kremlin sources.

Half the money Russia spend on Facebook ads (according to the news stories) took place AFTER the election.
Why would they spend money after the voting was over unless their goal was disinformation?
They owned Bill and Hillary. They’d invested hundreds of millions into their shame Foundations and speeches.
Trump was an unknown player to them.
So why would they want Trump to win?
The entire false narrative makes no sense and was dreamed up the night they lost by Podesta the molesta.
Bribe money would be just icing on the cake. They do not need bribery to spread fake stories. However it would be another nail in the msm coffin.
LOL, journalists would do it for nothing and some would even pay for the privilege
There is only an inkling that journalists were paid off, the article does not provide any details. Headline is misleading.
Are the DNC-Media complicit, hell-yes according to the Podesta emails. But there is no evidence of bribery in this article.
If the Russians got their wish, I bet they wanted Hillary to win in a close, chaotic and resented election to damage the US. Early on the polls made it look like Hillary would win easily so they wanted it closer. After the election all they have to promote are chaos and resentment.
We already know what the Russian ads were about after the election, they were to claim Trump stole the election with Russia’s help.
Unexpected.
Well I’ve always thought there were bribes involved.
“Mainstream” Journalists are whores?! I am SHOCKED! Shocked, I say!
"If I Did It"
courage
Has anyone here ever seen these ads on Facebook? And if you make your decision on who to vote for based on Facebook ads you shouldn’t be allowed to vote.
Sure they’re taking brides. All traitors sell out their country for money. Prosecute treason.
So, the full picture of why Fusion GPS was fighting turning over their bank records to Congress is now coming into focus. Not only would it show that the DNC/Hillary paid them $9-$12 million for the Trump “dossier,” but it would also show an *outflow* of money to various media outlets, paying for coverage of the “Russian collusion” angle.
I’ve speculated that the biggest reason Fusion GPS doesn’t want to release its bank records is that they would confirm that prominent Washington D.C. names on both sides of the aisle were part of the company’s “opposition research” on Donald Trump.

I don’t believe there were Facebook ads engineered by the Russians. I believe it was the DEMS again blaming Russians for their work.
The Russians did not want Hillary to win!
Do people not remember the video of the Russian parliament cheering when they heard that Trump won?
This is it. Russia's candidate was the one whose Top Secret emails they possessed, whose spouse was paid for a do-nothing appearance, whose foundation received a hundred million $$$ plus in payoffs - the fully and willingly extortable HRC.
The first step in figuring out fake news is knowing of its existence. That goes for all news, even if it agrees with your suspicions. I always ask the question of who wrote it and why. Then, who paid for it...
My guess is that Anderson Cooper is hot on this story and will be busting his butt to cover it.
Now, Anderson Cooper is a world renowned journalist.
