FULL TITLE: Fusion GPS founders 'horrified' Steele Dossier was published but say 'if you...tell fake stuff about us, we’re going to fire back'.
The “Steele dossier” at the heart of the investigation into President Donald Trump’s ties to Russia was never supposed to be seen by the public, according to those who commissioned it, who told ABC News they were “horrified” when it was published in full.
“This is just not what we do,” said Glenn Simpson, co-founder of Fusion GPS, while reflecting on the publication of the memos that made up the dossier.
Simpson and Fusion GPS co-founder Peter Fritsch commissioned Christopher Steele to investigate Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. His memos — compiled into the dossier — were supposed to be used internally to guide further investigation, and were shared selectively to spur more digging.
When the set of documents, with their raw findings, was published in full by BuzzFeed News shortly after the election, it sent shockwaves across Washington, D.C.
“We were horrified when it was published because it’s not the kind of thing that we do,” Simpson said. “As Peter puts it, ironically, we’re best known for something that we absolutely never do.”
Fritsch and Simpson told “The Investigation” that the dossier began as an assignment from Republicans to look into Donald Trump’s business history and career, and that it had nothing to do with Russia. However, after several months of investigations, the numerous connections between Donald Trump and Russia started coming to light.
“The term we coined during this period was, ‘It’s not clear that Donald Trump invested in Russia, but it’s definitely clear that Russia invested in him,’” said Simpson.

Wow, really? The time to say that would have been when it first came out. Too late, now.
Yeah riiiiight..............
Con-Fusion
Very similar to: “We’re sorry we got caught.”
But...but...it was never actually supposed to be challenged!
It was supposed to be secret so that nobody would know how absurd it was.
The shock of this was too much for mysystemmmmmmmmm.....aaaaaahhh
Why do people say things like. “It’s not who I am” or “it’s not what we do” when what they have actually said or done is exposed. I say ... Baloney! ... To Fusion GPS.
We lied...yes we lied...and when you tell the truth about us, we will lie even more. That should be the tag line.
These people...ALL OF THEM INVOLVED...ARE SHAMELESS.
And they think we are stupid enough to believe them.
Simpson HAD TO...HAD TO get it back to Trump being the origin of this mess.
He thinks he found a way.
Fusion GPS is now in “all hands on deck” CYA mode!
The hell you say!
We were just supposed to believe what the Fake News Media and demonicRATS (but I repeat myself) told us what was in it.
Kind of like this whole "whistleblower" crapola.
We're not supposed to know who it is, but we are supposed to believe whatever the FNM tells us it says.
The Joey G pic would have been appropriate.
Shameless.
Absolutely never except for the one time, of course. Right. However, one might admire the integrity with which they stated all this publicly when the affair turned toward impeachment. Except that they didn't. A conscience is pinching all of a sudden. I wonder why?

Before or after Hillary lost?
And Bill Clinton is the best marriage counselor around.
Someone is getting nervous!
Smells like BS to me.
