Say that Steele came in after they were out.
Seriously???
I would think that the Republican that was involved with Fusion GPS was doing his/her own opposition research.
A Jeb Cutout?
Just guessing. I have no idea.
WTH? Ok, so who’s the money behind the Beacon?
Fronting for someone else?
Free Beacon statement:
http://freebeacon.com/uncategorized/fusion-gps-washington-free-beacon/amp/
Basically deny Steele dossier involvement, say they researched many Republicans, not just Trump.
Where did they get the money?
I don’t think they are the source, but a front group.
No, it wasn't just "picked up." Permission was granted by the party or parties who contracted the research, which means a Republican or Republicans gave their dirt on Trump to Hillary Clinton.

Wow. Steele and the dirty FAKE dossier happened once the Free Beacon dropped it and Clinton and the democRATs took over however...
Since its launch in February of 2012, the Washington Free Beacon has retained third party firms to conduct research on many individuals and institutions of interest to us and our readers. In that capacity, during the 2016 election cycle we retained Fusion GPS to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary, just as we retained other firms to assist in our research into Hillary Clinton. All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to the Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier. The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele. Nor did we have any knowledge of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign.
Representatives of the Free Beacon approached the House Intelligence Committee today and offered to answer what questions we can in their ongoing probe of Fusion GPS and the Steele dossier. But to be clear: We stand by our reporting, and we do not apologize for our methods. We consider it our duty to report verifiable information, not falsehoods or slander, and we believe that commitment has been well demonstrated by the quality of the journalism that we produce. The First Amendment guarantees our right to engage in news-gathering as we see fit, and we intend to continue doing just that as we have since the day we launched this project.

1. When did the FBI first pay Steele?
2. In what manner did the FBI pay Steele?
3. For what activities did the FBI pay Steele?
4. Did the FBI know what other sources of income Steele was receiving?
5. Did the FBI know the information that Steele was receiving in any other projects he was working on during the time they paid him?
6. Please produce ALL documentation and information that Steele gave to the FBI.
7. Was Steele ever an official employee of the FBI?
This is just a starting point for what Steele needs to testify to in front of Congress.

I still wanna see the bank records. I don’t necessarily believe this confession.

Interesting. Thanks for posting. Goldfarb, Singer, Kristol. Enemies domestic.
I'm sure Fusion has had many clients.... they're aren't necessarily connected to the dirty dossier situation.
