Report: Infamous Trump dossier funded by Clinton campaign, DNC

A new report from the Washington Post shows the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped pay for research that led to the much talked about Trump dossier. Veuer's Nick Cardona (@nickcardona93) has that story. Buzz60

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund the research behind the infamous dossier that alleges ties between President Trump and Russia, according to a report.

Marc Elias, a lawyer for the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained the political consulting firm that commissioned Christopher Steele, the dossier's author, the Washington Post reported.

That agreement reportedly began in April 2016. Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, funded the research by the firm Fusion GPS that led to the dossier through October 2016.

A still-unknown Republican donor initially funded Fusion GPS's research.

The dossier alleges extensive ties between the president and Russia, but its contents are unverified. It has become the subject of three separate investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Trump has called the document false.

The headline is so far, inaccurate.

Aside from what has been reported being accusation and not yet substantiated entirely, even the reports as far as they have gone, have NOT said that the so-called Trump Dossier was "funded" by the Clinton campaign. It has been reported that the Clinton campaign, just like the Trump campaign, paid people who said they had "dirt" on the opponent, in order to try to acquire that "dirt."

Posting this as you have, implies that the Clinton campaign actively caused the so-called trump Dossier to be created entirely, and that is FALSE.

everything you just texted is purely wishful thinking . Posting this implies she has been found not guilty of paying for these documents to be fabricated. I will wait till the investigation is over or until she's locked up . 10 to 1 she is guilty of all that seems to be pointing in her direction. Funny how these obviously left leaning contributors on this site aren't as anxious to talk about the Russian collusion now that everything is point in the direction of the accuser. Lol how ironic.

It's ridiculous when you have billionaires donate ten's of millions just to get these greedy power hungry colluding hypocrites in office. I see the swamps losing 3 Republicans. We've only just begun. Almost a year of tax dollars wasted on Russian collusion dullusion. They must be proud!
Remember that day when Trump gave his first address speech to Congress?

Makes one wonder what was contained in all those deleted emails ,missing server and destroyed laptops...

Fusion GPS scandal: Clinton, DNC broke campaign finance law with dossier funding,
The revelation that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund a salacious anti-Trump dossier last year is raising new legal questions for the Clinton team — with a watchdog group filing a formal complaint alleging they hid the payments from public view.

The Campaign Legal Center filed the complaint Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission, accusing the DNC and Clinton’s campaign committee of breaking campaign finance law by failing to accurately disclose the money spent on the Trump-Russia dossier.

The Washington Post reported this week — and Fox News confirmed — that the political consulting firm Fusion GPS was retained last year by Marc E. Elias, an attorney representing the DNC and the Clinton campaign. The firm then hired former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele to write the now-infamous dossier.

Igor, don't forget to scream real loud on Nov.8.

Report: Infamous Trump dossier funded by Clinton campaign, DNC
_________________________________________________________________-

Its true.. Hilary gathered all the $1.00 bills from Bill's pants after he stumbled in each night from the Nudie bars.

A lot of money.. a lot.

But Hillary had no idea the money was going there. She says she had no idea.

What's $9M to her? lol. Her war chest is all of her "charity". Read: Money laundering unit.

Which she has removed from US oversight by sending it all to Dubhai.

The DNC have admitted to it in a court hearing. It's game set and match.
The tax records of that company and their expenditures are all in black and white. It's game set and match.

The DNC also claimed poverty so Clinton gave them the money, plus money directly from her political fund plus some more of I would suggest McCain.

She paid for the (almost) whole shebang. Which is unlawful. Now she says she didn't know anything about it.

If I lend out any money to any business associate. I'll have a record of every penny. Not fritter $9M for "I don't know".

Igor, stop embarrassing yourself...
