    Our enemy fed propaganda to the democrats, then the FBI used this propaganda to spy on political rivals. This is bigger than Watergate folks!

    This fakeass dossier led the FISA court to order up the spying on Trump and co, which inevitably set up this Mueller investigation. The FBI colluded w/ the Clinton campaign on this charade and offered to pick up the tab going forward. The boomerang effect is taking hold.

    The Free Beacon famously is funded in large part by New York hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer of Elliott Management Corp. Singer strongly opposed Trump during the primary. The conservative-leaning news website confirmed its relationship with Fusion in a post published Friday night. In the post, the Free Beacon explained that it had withdrawn its financial support before former British spy Christopher Steele was brought on to begin the research that led to the dossier. The Free Beacon also paid to fund opposition research into other candidates besides Trump.

    Conservative website funded initial Fusion GPS Trump opposition effort

    The opposition research project that ultimately produced the controversial Trump-Russia dossier was initially backed by the conservative Washington Free Beacon website, it was revealed late Friday.

    Free Beacon editor-in-chief Matthew Continetti and chairman Michael Goldfarb said in a statement that the publication had retained Fusion GPS to "provide research on multiple candidates in the [2016] Republican presidential primary," as well as Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

    Continetti and Goldfarb denied that the Free Beacon "had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele," the former British spy who compiled the now-infamous file. The dossier, which was published by BuzzFeed in January, contained unverified and lurid allegations about dirt the Russians had on then-candidate Donald Trump and his campaign’s possible connections to Moscow.


    Free Beacon's connection with Fusion GPS was first reported by the Washington Examiner. According to the Examiner's report, lawyers for the Free Beacon told the House Intelligence Committee that the website funded the research between the fall of 2015 and the spring of 2016.

    At some point after that, Fusion GPS was retained by Mark Elias, an attorney representing the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. Fusion GPS hired Steele after the Free Beacon left the project.

    Committee spokesman Jack Langer told Fox News that the Free Beacon "has issued a statement asserting that it had no involvement with Christopher Steele or the dossier he compiled from Russian sources. The Beacon has agreed to cooperate with the House Intelligence Committee to help the Committee verify this assertion."

    Earlier this week, the Washington Post reported that the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid more than $9 million to Elias’ firm, Perkins Coie, which, in turn, retained the political consultants who commissioned the research.

    But it’s unclear how much of that $9 million went toward the dossier. And it’s unclear who exactly at the Clinton campaign and DNC might have known how it was being spent.

    In their statement, Continetti and Goldfarb denied having any knowledge "of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign."

    "We stand by our reporting, and we do not apologize for our methods," they added. "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 Washington Free Beacon was initially founded as a project of the conservative nonprofit group Center for American Freedom, as an alternative to liberal news sites run by progressive nonprofits.

    The Center for American Freedom was organized as a 501(c)4 and did not reveal its donors, but a person close to Goldfarb said Singer was an early backer of the project.
    Later, the Free Beacon was spun-off into a for-profit website.

    Goldfarb was deputy communications director on John McCain's presidential campaign.

    Singer has been a major player in Republican politics in recent years and maintains ties to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and several powerful Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan.

    A representative to Singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Singer was backing Rubio's presidential bid at the time of the Free Beacon's involvement. Rubio's team insisted this week that they had no knowledge of the dossier.

    Singer's close associate Dan Senor also served as Speaker Ryan's chief adviser during the 2012 president campaign.

    Funny how all the media were throwing around the term "collusion" in association with Trump and Russia, yet an act that is in no way illegal. Now they are all back-peddling, even though they all had benefited from the same false sources. Those parrot-media are pathetic.

    More importantly to me, Paul Singer is Bill Kristol's son-in-law.

    Marco Rubio and Paul Ryan benefactor Paul Singer's neocon website Washington Free Beacon issued a statement on it's relationship with Fusion GPS:

    "the Washington Free Beacon has retained third party firms to conduct research on many individuals and institutions ... during the 2016 election cycle we retained Fusion GPS to provide research on multiple candidates ... 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. ..."

    So the neocon Free Beacon paid GPS to dig up dirt, but not the creation of the spurious dossier. The Clinton Campaign and the DNC, however, paid $5.6 million and $3.6 million respectively, via Perkins Coie to Fusion GPS to fund the creation of the now notorious dossier.

    But the evidence on this fact never arrived, although we all have the certainty of the intervention of Russia, but we still have Trump as president, as this is explained
