[Mr. K]

$12 Million was paid for the ‘Russian Dossier’.

To who? And for what?

And most of all WHO APPROVED THAT MUCH EXPENSE?

[Col Frank Slade]

Give her due credit. She paid for it.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Of the $12 million, Steele is reported to have gotten $160,000 (IIRC, that’s in the Nunes memo).

Where did the other money go, as you’ve asked?

Did Nellie Ohr get a lot or a little, in comparison with what she normally earns?

How much did Perkins Coie rake off (just for future reference)?

Did any go to Clinton associates like Sidney Blumenthal or Corey Shearer?

Did any get funneled to Russia—did these supposed sources shovel dirt for free, or were they paid fiction writers?

And so on. Following the money is usually worthwhile for discerning relationships.

Smells like money laundering to me. And payoffs.

If I got this right, it was $12m to Perkins Coie, who paid $9m of it to Fusion, who paid Steele $160k. The rest of it got plowed back to... probably names we know.
