Anthony Ferrante coordinated the U.S. government’s response to Russian election interference. Now he’s helping a news site defend itself from a Russian billionaire’s lawsuit.
For the last six months, a team led by a former top FBI and White House cybersecurity official has been traveling the globe on a secret mission to verify parts of the Trump dossier, according to four sources familiar with different aspects of the ongoing probe.
Their client: BuzzFeed, the news organization that first published the dossier on U.S. President Donald Trump’s alleged ties to Russia, which is now being sued over its explosive allegations.
The investigation, being conducted by FTI Consulting, is running in parallel to special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in Kremlin-directed efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election. With the special counsel probe under wraps, the BuzzFeed court case could represent the first public airing of an investigation into the veracity of some of the dossier’s claims.
FTI is a Washington-based business advisory firm that specializes in areas ranging from corporate litigation to forensic accounting, and it is a frequent post-government landing pad for FBI officials.
The ramifications of FTI’s dossier investigation could be game-changing for Mueller’s probe, because it “would establish outside veracity of dossier allegations,” a source familiar with the work told Foreign Policy. Yet news of FTI’s involvement, including the critical role of a former top FBI official, would also be controversial because the dossier itself is “a political football,” the source said.

Trump kept going the “p**** grabbing” audio tape came out. Does anyone seriously believe he can be blackmailed with anything so silly as a hooker pee video?
Thanks Red Badger.
And the flailing and thrashing steps up a notch - we’re over target and ready to lock on....
Apparently so.................
If it were to happen, the hotel staff would have been aghast at the mess and would have called the police and teh media instantly to show off what this awful American had done. It would not have been kept secret for more than a day. Even had they tried, the maids would have contacted a tabloid for some quick cash.
This whole story, while garish, is absolutely rubbish if anyone in the media would just take some time and use their brains for thinking and come to a logical conclusion instead of using their gray matter for hating Trump. It could not have actually happened without some repercussions from the hotel and their staff, not to mention the prostitutes! They would be already on Ellen and Oprah telling their story!........................
The media are truly idiots......................
