The president hammered Democrats as he left the White House on Wednesday for a trip to Dallas, Texas

Trump claimed Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic Party were forced to admit their role in funding a salacious and dodgy 'dirty dossier' targeting him

A federal judge was set to rule that Congress could subpoena the bank records of Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm

Fusion was paid through a law firm, acting on behalf of the Clinton camp and the Democratic National Committee

The president told Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs that 'it's almost $6 million that they paid, and it's totally discredited – it's a total phony

Donald Trump blasted his former campaign opponent on Wednesday for denying her role in paying for opposition research that grew into an election-year 'dirty dossier' full of salacious and unsubstantiated allegations against him.

'Don't forget Hillary Clinton totally denied this. She didn't know anything. She knew nothing,' Trump said in an interview with the Fox Business Network's 'Lou Dobbs Tonight' program.

'What I was amazed at – it's almost $6 million that they paid, and it's totally discredited. It's a total phony. I call it fake news. It's disgraceful. It's disgraceful.'

Campaign finance records show that the Clinton campaign paid a Washington law firm called Perkins Coie $5.6 million in legal fees from June 2015 to December 2016, and the Democratic National Committee paid another $3.6 million. The law firm was a pass-through, taking money from the campaign and the DNC and paying the opposition research Fusion GPS.

It's impossible to know how much of that money was earmarked for Fusion GPS's work on the now-discredited dossier.

But, it’s not presidential! He said a republican. He said supposed to roll over, not make a peep, and go back to sleep like all republicans before him did.

And not a word of it from the corrupt MSM. All they’re talking about is “Republican civil war”, Jeff Flake and Bob Corker. Almost complete blackout.

As far as I can tell from Google | News | Sessions... our esteemed Attorney General Rip Van Sessions hasn’t woken up to even burp in the direction of this story.

Somebody should pour a bucket of ice water over his head.

Calling for a Sessions resignation is BLASPHEMY! to a lot of FReepers who think Jeff is biding his time before he bothers to enforce US law.

I thought Her was broke until they sold off the White House silver service for a little pocket walking around money when they were evicted back in 96. Now I hear Her paid 6.5 million for a cheap, phony “dossier” about Russian hookers wetting the bed?

Best Election Ever

Really downplaying the law firm, Perkins Coie. They are the major firm in the entire country. All Obama and Clinton lawyers come from there. Sometimes they are on both sides of the same issue. Just there getting rich.

"I want Grand Juries and Indictments! Get going Sessions or RESIGN."

Me too, but what exactly is the crime?

Hiring someone to do opposition research isn't a crime.

The Russian Bribery case, that's a crime.

The Dossier is only the tip of the Iceberg. Everything is intertwined from the unsecured server, emails, Uranium One, Unmasking, Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, Holder, Lynch, McCabe, Brennen, Clapper, Susan Rice, Samantha Powers, OBAMA, etc.

How the hell do you untangle all of this?
