The confirmation this week that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid an opposition-research firm for a “dossier” on Donald Trump is bombshell news. More bombshells are to come.
The Fusion GPS saga isn’t over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady election doings concealed within that oppo-research firm’s walls. We now know where Fusion got some of its cash, but the next question is how the firm used it. With whom did it work beyond former British spy Christopher Steele ? Whom did it pay? Who else was paying it?
The answers are in Fusion’s bank records. Fusion has doggedly refused to divulge the names of its clients for months now, despite extraordinary pressure. So why did the firm suddenly insist that middleman law firm Perkins Coie release Fusion from confidentiality agreements, and spill the beans on who hired it?
Because there’s something Fusion cares about keeping secret even more than the Clinton-DNC news—and that something is in those bank records. The release of the client names was a last-ditch effort to appease the House Intelligence Committee, which issued subpoenas to Fusion’s bank and was close to obtaining records until Fusion filed suit last week. The release was also likely aimed at currying favor with the court, given Fusion’s otherwise weak legal case. The judge could rule as early as Friday morning.

INSIDE EVERY LIBERAL IS A TOTALITARIAN SCREAMING TO GET OUT -- Frontpage mag
ZitatCBS News is reporting that Hillary Clinton knew nothing of the “Trump dossier” until BuzzFeed News posted it, despite the fact that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund it. They reportedly spent $6 or $7 million. Don’t they watch the books for an expenditure like that?
Didn’t Hillary check when the dossier appeared and she was asked about it?
For someone who nothing about it, she sure was banking on it.

Hillary’s campaign chairman John Podesta and former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wassermann-Schultz claimed they know nothing about the funding of the dossier but that was before the latest exposé.
They both privately denied to congressional Russia investigators that they had any knowledge about an arrangement to pay for opposition research on President Donald Trump according to CNN’s sources.
They made the statements before the latest revelations though Wassermann-Schultz told a reporter yesterday on the fly that she knew nothing about it.
Podesta’s and Wasserman Schultz’s remarks to congressional investigators raise the stakes in their assertion that they knew nothing about the funding because it’s against the law to make false statements to Congress, CNN reported.
And John McCain won't say what he knew or didn't know.
John McCain Won’t Say Whether He Knew He Was Handing Clinton-Funded Russia Dossier to FBI by Aaron Klein 25 Oct 2017
PHILADELPHIA — Sen. John McCain may find himself facing serious questions following the disclosure that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research utilized in the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump.
In December, it was McCain who notoriously passed the controversial dossier documents produced by the Washington opposition research firm Fusion GPS to then FBI Director James Comey, whose agency reportedly utilized the dossier as some of the basis for its probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
