[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only presidential campaign to pay for Russian dirt was Hillary’s campaign. Let’s just be honest here.

We now have actual facts.[/quote]

Except for the actual fact that Fusion GPS was hired to get dirt by the GOP first, before Hillary.[/quote]
The GOP paid for zero dirt, you fool.[/quote]

False.  During the GOP Primary, in September 2015, Fusion GPS was paid $1m by a never-Trumper GOP donor to dig up dirt on Trump.  That was before Hillary or the FBI even got involved with Fusion GPS.[/quote]
What dirt? You liar.

Fusion GPS shopped it to Clinton's people as the GOP primary wound down[/quote]

[quote]D.C.-based opposition research firm Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with expertise in Russia, to put together the dossier after Republicans quit paying the firm to compile opposition research on Trump. Steele was hired after a lawyer representing the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign hired the firm to dig up dirt on Trump.

Fact Check:

During the Republican presidential primary, an unknown Republican “client” funded Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research on Trump, The Washington Post reports. Trump at that time was still seeking the Republican nomination for the 2016 presidential election.

That client cut off funds to Fusion GPS as the primary winded down, and the Clinton campaign hired the firm through its lawyer Mike Elias in April 2016. The DNC and Clinton campaign continued funding the project until October 2016.

Steele “authored” the Trump-Russia dossier that Fusion GPS produced using a “compilation of reports” he worked on while at the firm, and all of his work happened while the Clinton campaign was funding the opposition research.[/quote]
