Ex-Feinstein Staffer Hired Steele, Fusion GPS After Election to Keep ‘Exposing' Russian Meddling
[Breitbart] The House Intelligence Committee report released on Friday contained a new bombshell: after the 2016 election, wealthy donors paid a former Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) staffer $50 million to continue "exposing" Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Dan Jones, a former Democratic Senate Intelligence Committee staffer and former FBI official, then hired author Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS ‐ whose research formed the Trump dossier ‐ to help him do that, and to give whatever they found to "policymakers on Capitol Hill and the press."

The House report revealed for the first time that Jones told the FBI in late March 2017 that his group, the Penn Quarter Group, was being paid by seven to ten wealthy donors "located primarily in New York and California," who provided approximately $50 million.

The revelation showed the extent that Democrats have been willing to go behind-the-scenes to validate the dossier ‐ which ironically was also funded secretly by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

Jones’ role was noted in a footnote in the report, which is the product of the committee’s investigation into Russian meddling and any collusion.

#1 Freebeacon - Democratic Donors Paid $50 million for New Anti-Trump Research

Excerpt:

"In late March 2017, Jones met with FBI regarding PQG, which he described as ‘exposing foreign influence in Western elections,'" the report said.

Jones was described as the chief author of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence study of the CIA's terrorist detention and interrogation program and a former employee of the Daschle Group.

Jones's name appears to be blacked out in the footnote in several places but was identified in one sentence.

The report said the FBI was told that PQG was being funded by 7 to 10 wealthy donors located primarily in New York and California who provided about $50 million for the research.

The donors were not identified in the report.

Emphasis added.

Once again, an IRS investigation should clearly reveal the financial details and backers of groups such as PQG. But according to former FBI Director Comey's recent Bret Baier interview, he had no idea who was funding the dossier research.

#2 But according to former FBI Director Comey's recent Bret Baier interview, he had no idea who was funding the dossier research.

Comey's response would indicate that he is pleading stupid.

I hope the DOJ is going to lay the wood to these treasonous conspirators.
