[NYPOST] Members of the research firm that commissioned the infamous "Steele dossier" met with a journalist to spread an incorrect theory linking Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
and Russia after learning about it from former Crooked Hillary Clinton
 ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, a meeting participant testified Wednesday.
The testimony from Laura Seago, a former analyst at the Fusion GPS research firm, came after the judge in the case ruled that special counsel John Durham’s team could present some evidence of Sussmann’s meetings with the company and its associate, former British spy Remington Christopher Steele.
Seago told jurors at Sussmann’s trial that the meeting with Franklin Foer came after she was tasked with "translating" computer data that purported to show a secret back channel between a Trump Organization server and Russia’s Alfa Bank, so it could be understood by "a lay audience."
Seago, Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch, a former Wall Street Journal news hound, and Fusion employee Jake Berkowitz, met up at Foer’s house in the fall of 2016, she said.
During the hourlong sit-down, they told Foer that the information had been vetted by "highly credible computer scientists" who "seemed to think these allegations were credible," Seago testified.
"We certainly hoped he would publish an article," she said.
