Jeb Bush DENIES BBC claim that he ordered the dirty dossier - so if it wasn't him, who paid the shadowy research firm which started filth file two years ago?
Washington-based opposition research firm, Fusion GPS, was hired in 2015
One of Trump’s Republican detractors is said to have paid the company
Initially FusionGPS was asked to look into Trump's business dealings
But the research angle changed after DNC hacking emerged in June 2016
FusionGPS then contracted ex-MI6 officer Chris Steele's Orbis company
Steele had gold-plated contacts in Moscow from years of spying on Russia
Democrats took over funding the investigation into Trump
Former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush has been forced to deny a claim that he ordered the outlandish ‘dirty dossier’ on President-elect Donald Trump.
The BBC initially named Bush, one of Trump’s opponent in the 2016 Republican primary, as having enlisted the services of Washington-based political research firm FusionGPS to look into Trump's business dealings.
FusionGPS later hired ex-MI6 spy Christopher Steele to dig further into Trump’s connections with Russia.
‘He (Steele) was compiling this report on behalf of initially Trump's opponent Jeb Bush,’ the BBC said on Wednesday.
The BBC subsequently said on Thursday its Washington correspondent Paul Wood misspoke. Bush's spokeswoman, Kristy Campbell, categorically denied any involvement between Bush and Steele. ‘It is absolutely not true that Governor Bush had any knowledge or involvement with this gentleman and his allegations,’ Campbell told Reuters by phone
‘It's nothing we've ever seen before.’
However, Bush’s camp have not specifically ruled out any contact with FusionGPS.

Please clap.
There must be very good money in selling fake info to rich, stupid, corrupt politicians.
This IS so childish and stupid it seems like something he would do.
There is a good reason why Barbara Bush did not want him to run. She knew her sons limitations.
Then she eventually gave in, as has probably always been the case his whole life. And now he’s ruined the Bush dynasty.
If Jeb (or the Bush family) was behind it, it wouldn’t surprise me in the least. They have a history of that type of playing dirty (remember John McCain fathering a black baby). Not to mention Bush Sr. deep connections in the intelligence community (he was the former CIA director).
Than that makes it all right with me.
Of course he denies it you morons.
Well, I’m relieved. For a minute there I thought one of the Bushes was a corrupt psychopath.
Lol
It was an act of love.
I wouldn’t put anything past him or his mother.
Don’t forget Bush Sr (former CIA head) giving the throat slash signal at one of the GOP debates.
He is possibly the dirtiest son of a very dirty family. And his motivation is clear. His reputation, and deservedly so, was shredded by Trump. Put him into the lineup of suspects. Make sure to glue his heels down. ;)
Jeb Bush is a loser. His father is a loser. Without 9/11 his brother is a loser.
Jeb! may be slow but he’s not (entirely) stupid. You don’t really expect him to come right out and admit it do you?
Especially since whatever he did would have been isolated so that he would have “plausible deniability”. His old man was CIA Director too, you know.
“Jeb Bush is a loser. His father is a loser. Without 9/11 his brother is a loser.”
With 9/11 his brother is STILL a loser.
The whole assassination attempt of the Trump presidency lies at the feet of one John McCain, his campaign operatives, and the CIA.
Jeb! had nothing to do with it.
Well...he’ll always have guac bowls.
pissgate bump for later....
‘It’s nothing we’ve ever seen before.’
That is not a blanket denial. Somebody is getting cute with words. Sounds guilty to me.
