EILAT, Israel — The founders of the controversial opposition research firm Fusion GPS admitted that they helped the researcher hired to compile the infamous, largely discredited 35-page dossier on President Donald Trump to share the document with Sen. John McCain.

The goal of providing the dossier to McCain, the Fusion GPS founders explained, was to pass the information contained in the questionable document to the U.S. intelligence community under the Obama administration.

Already has. Today ABC local poll has McSalley and Arpaio in a tie, Ward in 3rd. Joe would lose huge, Moore level.

However, a Ducey appointment would be great-—and will never happen.

Comey had the Dossier in July 2016. Juan McCain did not give Dossier to Comey until Jan 2017.

At what point do we think the FBI first laid their hands on the dossier?

And, also, were the FBI gumshoes inclined to already start nosing around on Trump as early as when what became the “dossier” was first known as ordinary “oppo research”, under Sanger, I wonder?

I’m curious to what degree, if any, that the FBI might have been active even during the Republican nomination fight.

Comey, as I recall, never wanted to clarify the question of when the FBI initially possessed the dossier (at least not in his last open hearing) nor did he want confirm that the FBI at some point reportedly did pay for part of the work on the dossier, in the name of doing an investigation.

Nope. This man supported laws and policies that hurt MY family. Yours too. For generations to come.

He deserves to have his grave spit on daily.

More important, Comey admitted to Congress that they did not report FBI involvement in all of this as was suggested to him by one of his FBI compatriots and friends.

Technically what he, and the FBI did in not reporting their activity to Congress was illegal.

...were FBI gumshoes nosing around Trump back when the “dossier” was known as “oppo research”?....

Reportedly, Trump was subjected to Obama's police state tactics years ago....

Bammy didnt like it when citizen Trump brought up the issue of Obama's birth certificate.

McShamey is a lying treasonous coward

“but the question remains, why?”

I think they were trying to put more buffers between Hillary and the dossier. McCain’s associated with the dossier, and then they can reveal that the RNC originally hired Steele/Fusion, and hope the digging stops there and any investigation backfires on the Republicans.

They already had the dossier.

The only reason McCain was given a copy was either because he was willing to pay for it and/or to provide cover for the “skinny team” in the FBI to draw attention away from them as initiators.

CT has been doing some very detailed, well-researched analyses on this complex and sometimes bewildering intersection of data.

Read this and play the videos. Pay particular attention to Clappers' statements on MTP.

They did not want Fusion’s bank records exposed, either. Thus the reason for McCain was to make everyone assume he paid for the Russian intel and not the Clinton Campaign and DNC.

The “skinny team” most likely- a circle of about 29 people as I recall.

The minute Lynch, Holder and Rice are added then the libs will cry racism and social media fascists will delete all posts with it... so maybe for now the “white privilege” look is the way to go.
