Who Paid For The Dossier.....

The Washington Post has previously reported that the FBI agreed in October 2016 to pay the dossier’s author, Christopher Steele, for further work that might help its own investigation into Russian election activities.

(Trump said it.....The Washington Post confirmed it.)

(Somehow the FBI needed to hire a retired MI6 guy to do investigative work for them. The FBI does not know how to investigate things themselves. shady........)

As the allegations contained in the dossier began appearing in news stories (even though they were not substantiated) and the dossier itself became the subject of intense public debate (Because it is fake) , Steele became a publicly known figure and the FBI did not pursue further work from him, The Post reported in February.

Republicans, particularly Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa), have sought further answers from the FBI about its relationship with Steele, and its plan to pay him for information that could incriminate Trump or his associates.

(Good questions to be asking)

When Steele started compiling the dossier in 2016, he was doing so for a Washington firm called Fusion GPS. The firm began researching Trump first for an unidentified GOP donor, and then later for Democrats.

On Wednesday, a lawyer for Fusion GPS said the firm’s employees refused to testify (WHY?) in response to a subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee, invoking their constitutional privilege not to do so.
