BREAKING NEWS THAT IS SHOCKING TO EVERYONE WHO DOESN’T READ THE NEWSPAPER!
You know the Steele Dossier, compiled by former MI6 spy Christopher Steele, who was contracted by Fusion GPS to compile opposition research way back during the campaign? That thing that alleges that Donald Trump's campaign was engaged in a massive cover-up with Russia to influence/steal the 2016 election? Yes, that one! If you'll remember, we learned recently that, though investigators haven't verified every single thing in it, they haven't debunked one single little thing about it!
During the Republican primary, Fusion GPS's opposition research was funded by "a Republican" (Jeb! probably, unless it was the Mercers back when they were Ted Cruz backers), but once Trump won the nomination, "some Democrats" took over the funding. Steele was hired soon after. We learned this information from THE VERY FIRST NEWS STORY about the dossier, when it was broken by David Corn at Mother Jones on October 31, 2016.
The fact his work was funded by Clinton people doesn't mean piddly shit, since anybody who's ever covered politics before (journalism fact coming, you'll want to take notes) knows that candidates aren't funding opposition research to find FAKE NEWS on their opponents, they're funding it to find REAL DIRT.
And Christopher Steele found it.
