A must read on Fusion GPS and the Washington Post
Media pretends they don't know this?!?
"Monday the Washington Post profiled Fusion GPS, the Washington DC-based communications shop that assembled and distributed the “dossier” alleging that Donald Trump colluded with Russia"
"Fusion GPS spearheaded the campaign to undo the Magnitsky Act, American legislation imposing sanctions on Russian officials and other figures close to Vladimir Putin. Their work featured a smear campaign against the driving force behind the Magnitsky Act, financier William Browder."
"“The Post ignored some of Fusion GPS’s worst excesses, including the scorched earth tactics they used against a journalist in London who was whistleblowing corruption in Venezuela, Alek Boyd. Fusion GPS planted stories that he was a rapist and pedophile.”
The Washington Post story is a whitewash. The paper’s newsroom is a reliable Fusion GPS ally, staffed by several former Wall Street Journal reporters who shared bylines with Simpson and other Fusion GPS principals who also worked at the Journal."
"Why is Fusion GPS on defense this time? Because the yearlong hoax played on the American public, Russiagate, looks like it’s collapsing under its own weight, and Fusion GPS is in the middle of it.
Tuesday, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow called for a special prosecutor to look into improper contact between the Department of Justice and Fusion GPS. Monday reports came out that the wife of a senior Justice Department official demoted for concealing his meetings with Simpson herself worked for Fusion GPS. Nellie Ohr, wife of DOJ official Gregory Ohr, was paid by Fusion during the summer and fall of 2016, when the anti-Trump dossier was produced and shopped to media outlets.
Further, court findings released by the House Intelligence Committee last month indicate that Fusion GPS was paying journalists covering the Russia story and was paid by at least one press organization. If, or when, the details of that information are released, the media will have questions to answer."
"The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee have evaded answering questions about the Steele dossier. Campaign chairman John Podesta says he knew nothing about it. All that’s getting increasingly difficult to believe since it appears that the candidate herself may have been read in before the election.
The Washington Times reported this weekend that Fusion GPS was behind the now discredited Slate story about a special email server existed between Trump Tower and Moscow’s Alfa bank. Hillary Clinton tweeted the story the day it appeared"
