>The Senate Judiciary Committee earlier this month threatened to subpoena the firm, Fusion GPS, after it refused to answer questions and provide records to the panel identifying who financed the error-ridden dossier, which was circulated during the election and has sparked much of the Russia scandal now engulfing the White House.
>Fusion GPS was on the payroll of an unidentified Democratic ally of Clinton when it hired a long-retired British spy to dig up dirt on Trump. In 2012, Democrats hired Fusion GPS to uncover dirt on GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney. And in 2015, Democrat ally Planned Parenthood retained Fusion GPS to investigate pro-life activists protesting the abortion group.
>The Senate Judiciary Committee is also investigating whether the FBI has wrongly relied on the anti-Trump dossier and its author, Christopher Steele — the old spy who was hired by Fusion GPS to build a Russia file on Trump — to aid its ongoing espionage investigation into the Trump campaign and its possible ties to Moscow.
>Steele contracted with Fusion GPS to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia starting in June 2016, whereupon he outlandishly claimed that Hillary campaign hackers were “paid by both Trump’s team and the Kremlin” and that the operation was run out of Putin’s office. He also fed Fusion GPS and its Hillary-allied clients incredulous gossip about Trump hating the Obamas so much that he hired hookers to urinate on a bed they slept in at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton, and that Russian intelligence recorded the pee party in case they needed to blackmail Trump.

>The FBI received a copy of the Democrat-funded dossier in August, during the heat of the campaign, and is said to have contracted in October to pay Steele $50,000 to help corroborate the dirt on Trump — a relationship that “raises substantial questions about the independence” of the bureau in investigating Trump, warned Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.
>In September 2016, while Fusion GPS was quietly shopping the dirty dossier on Trump around Washington, its co-founder and partner Peter R. Fritsch contributed at least $1,000 to the Hillary Victory Fund and the Hillary For America campaign, Federal Election Commission data show. His wife also donated money to Hillary’s campaign.
>Property records show that in June 2016, as Clinton allies bankrolled Fusion GPS, Fritsch bought a six-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Bethesda, Md., for $2.3 million.
>Fritsch did not respond to requests for comment. A lawyer for Fusion GPS said the firm’s work is confidential.

Another domino in the unraveling of this poorly constructed conspiracy begins to fall.

The silence from liberals is alarming.

Anything that shed light on leftist hypocrisy and corruption in a massive blow to their ego

Or you can just chalk this one up to BuzzFeed publishing shit to begin with.

Seriously who gets news from BuzzFeed? Cnn justreportes what BuzzFeed said and the NYT never even touched this shit

At this point, I'm not sure what would entail more damage: That Russia successfully conspired with the Trump team, or that somehow this many people in the government and intelligence have gotten caught up in a falsehood.

They aren't caught up at all, they need to generate #resistance so people keep electing them.

You'd be lost for words too if you experienced this much disappointment so quickly.

When it comes out that this document was a complete unverifiable fabrication, we're not just talking "falsehood". We're talking about either knowingly or unknowingly abetting what is likely a coup attempt by the IC community. I.E- legitimate treason.

Could you imagine that stain reaching all the way back into the Obama administration? No wonder the guy has been on constant vacation in East Asia.

The only thing they are resisting is reality.

I keep bouncing back between whether we need to educate them or purge them. But mercy is weakness, and altruism the root of all evil. Liberalism is a genetic disease.

>>151961
They're scared. They can see it on the horizon, the revolution coming for them with torch and rope. Look how much they're whipping themselves up into a frenzy. Their lugenpresse is practically tearing it's hair out. They will have nothing, and soon all they will have is pain. Our hate will not be contained or caged!

>>151976
Heh, and they're still losing. America is finally waking up. We might even see an ethnofascist state in my lifetime. KEK will not be denied.

Why didn't you copypasta the whole article?

It's not considering how much this comes off as an opinion piece with 0 citations.

The Washington Post also called BuzzFeed's reporting irresponsible and stupid because nobody (in the media) can verify any of its contents (apparently some elements have been vaguely confirmed by intelligence officials, but obviously that's only parts of it and not the whole thing, and everyone warns against taking the whole thing as fact). Pretty much nobody likes BuzzFeed's handling of it, because every other mainstream media site also had it and were not publishing the details because they had zero corroboration, and could only confirm that it existed.

>leaves out the part that the report was originally funded by Republicans against Trump (funding stopped when Trump won the nomination)
>leaves out the part that Fusion GPS was allegedly also working FOR the Russians at the same time

Yeah this is definitely more of an opinion piece, especially in tone. It does bring up current events, however, which I think prevents it from being a pure editorial.
