Sounds like they’ve released this statement in anticipation of Fusion’s bank records being released — which will show any payments to Fusion from the newspaper. They’re trying to get ahead of the story.

My goodness.... that certainly is a precious bit of family history.

Editor-In-Chief Matthew Continetti is married to Bill Kristol’s daughter.

The Free Bacon Brand just took a hit.

Money laundered funding using a second party?

Waiting on CNN and NBC lawyers to make similar statements in advance of the release of Fusion bank records.

One guess from the article: “Conservative billionaire Paul Singer, a major funder of the Free Beacon, strongly opposed Trump at the time of the opposition research project.”

Trump has smoked out all the trotskyites that have infiltrated the Republican party.

Kristol has been bleating like a little b!tch on twitter. Glorious

Or to make the court case moot - the legal world version of “old news.” The bank’s attorneys will argue that since the info is already out, there’s no need to reveal other private business info.

If so, it’s a clear case of never Trumper GOP-e working with the Dems.

It’s such a small town, D.C.

Pigs. Self-righteous pigs.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t these damn papers hire some investigative reporters of their own? Imagine the cost of Fusion to do oppo on all these candidates.

Continetti lives in Arlington, Virginia. He is married to Anne Elizabeth Kristol, the daughter of neo-conservative writer William Kristol. Continetti converted to Judaism in 2011.

Now we know where the idea came from.

why did their lawyers make that statement? How are they even linked?

What the lawyers say and what the media is saying what they said are two completely different things. The paper is just saying "hey, you're going to find out anyway, we too hired Fusion GPS for some research on candidates".

The MSM is twisting that into "Wash. Beacon commissioned the dossier... therefore it must be real!!!"
