Grassley's response mentioned in the article: Checking the Facts: There Is Evidence Fusion GPS Was Paid by Russia While Compiling Trump Dossier

If you start with the fact that Fusion doesn’t work for free...then there is some $$$ tied to this whole element of the dossier.

I would suggest though...that Fusion GPS is usually a vehicle that only Democratic-friendly lobbyists/donors hooked up with. This would mean that the Russians had their lobbyists walk in and tie up with Fusion? I just don’t see that as some point of reality. Maybe if Fusion would just publish their donor listing for 2016...we’d come to a successful conclusion and realize that no Russian donors exist.

Then things get interesting.

So the Russian money was laundered through a law firm?

And that makes it OK?

It involves transfer of money - ought to be easy enough to prove if they didn’t purposely tangle things up to make it hard to trace....
