| Sketchy firm behind Trump dossier is stalling investigators |
| 2017-06-26 |
| [NY Post] A secretive Washington firm that commissioned the dubious intelligence dossier on Donald Trump is stonewalling congressional investigators trying to learn more about its connections to the Democratic Party. The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House. What is the company hiding? Fusion GPS describes itself as a "research and strategic intelligence firm" founded by "three former Wall Street Journal investigative reporters." But congressional sources say it’s actually an opposition-research group for Democrats, and the founders, who are more political activists than journalists, have a pro-Hillary, anti-Trump agenda. "These weren’t mercenaries or hired guns," a congressional source familiar with the dossier probe said. "These guys had a vested personal and ideological interest in smearing Trump and boosting Hillary’s chances of winning the White House." Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group. More, federal records show a key co-founder and partner in the firm was a Hillary Clinton donor and supporter of her presidential campaign.

| #6 Am I reading this correctly? The taxpayer by way of the FBI paid for this misinformation and then it found it's way to the DEMS and their media? |

| #5 Arrest everyone for contempt and obstruction of justice and seize the firm and all its assets. Failure to do so will just allow the destruction of records and the swamp to fester. |

| #4 The most obvious offenders should be arrested for contempt of congress with possible charges of treason for stalling investigators. The rest will either play ball of follow suit. Either way the problem resolves itself. |

| #3 The dossier, a complex and intricate work of fiction authored by Christopher Steele but basically a red herring or disinformation--a lie. "The Rothschild-Khordorkovsky-Scheunemann alliance, quietly supported by George Soros, is emerging as the prime suspect in commissioning the Company Intelligence Report drafted by Orbis Business Intelligence and Fusion GPS. It seems that Fusion GPS was hired by Pubs to collect oppositional research against Trump during the primaries. The effort was dropped by the Pubs after Trump won the nomination. It was then continued by the Dems after Trump became the nominee. The Swamp is indeed deep and also wide. |
