On the Cliff Notes version does it say who initiated the research for the dossier?
The Washington Free Beacon, a right-leaning news website, acknowledged on Friday that it was the first to pay a firm that ultimately produced a controversial dossier that’s at the heart of a politically-charged probe investigating President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
The New York Times reported that New York hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer initially hired Fusion in 2015 “to unearth damaging information about several Republican presidential candidates, including Mr. Trump.”

Singer continued paying for the research until Cockholster became the heir apparent to carry the torch for the Guardians Of Pedophiles, when funding was then taken up by the DNC.
Thanks for the link. Now tell me where I can find the “pee pee tape” info.
Now that DiFi has released the Fusion GPS transcript it looks like the war that has been brewing within the Senate Judiciary Committee and elsewhere is now going to come screaming into public view.
Not only has this transcript been released, Democrats on other committees are now dropping ever-more damning tidbits about the testimonies they’ve heard detailing the cornucopia ofcriminal acts by Dotard Don and his dimwitted crime family.
I hope Mueller starts dropping subpoenas and indictments on these bastards like a carpet bombing campaign. With any luck we’ll soon see a mass exodus from Capitol Hill as these treasonous curs run for the bunkers, beginning with Devin Nunes; he’ll need to free up his schedule to spend more time with his family fight his own Obstruction of Justice charges.
They’re trying to male it harder to fire Mueller or end the investigation or sham prosecute Steele.
And it’s obvious Grassley didn’t want to release the Fusion transcripts-not to protect the investigation - but to cover up Republican malfeasance.
“that it was hoax with that”?? Could you all please please take an extra moment to read your stuff out loud before you post it?
It’s obvious that Grassley thought he was going to be able to play the media the same way Issa and Gowdy-Doody played them throughout the Benmailgasm travesty: by leaking shit to credulous reporters but hiding the complete documents because hurrumph hurrumph reasons.
Josh nailed it in the thing he just posted. The only new news here is the exposure of the complete degeneracy of the Republican Party. The news is the willingness of even what passes for respectable figures in that party to orchestrate a smear campaign, and even engage in tortuous wrongful prosecution, in pursuit of a conspiracy to conceal their party’s complicity in an act of war against America by a hostile foreign power. It’s a heretofore unimaginable level of moral depravity. And fully a third of the nation is onboard with it.
I will be shocked if we don’t eventually learn that Grassley is as compromised as he is partisan.
You know Lindsey Graham is. He has done a complete about face and has been called on it and stood fast with absurdity.
…“they have another source” independent of Steele’s own that had delivered them intelligence from inside Trump world."
Heh….this should freak out donnie and co…
I expect the Kremlin has binders full of Republicans, at this point.
And @clare
Especially if the source is Kurt Schiller - the bodyguard. He knows everything.
We can plainly see the majority of the GOP Obstructing.
Yes they are and that’s why Feinstein did what she did.
Yes there are binders full of Repuglics in Moscow - hell yes. I’d love to see what they have on Lady Graham.
With out McCain to hold his hand he is lost. It must be stressful.
They were speculating on MSNBC that it might be Papadopolous…which I don’t really get.
That had occurred to me too originally.
For sure, something. I am so glad this transcript was released because it just highlights his strange twist.
