That's pretty much what the Dossier consisted of. A bunch of hearsay nonsense and not one iota of it can be corroborated
Tax money was used by the fbi to pay a guy that was being paid by the dnc to do opposition research against their opponent.

Once again...the friggin dossier was used to procure ONE WARRANT. ONE. ONLY ONE. For Carter Page. That's it. Hey here's an idea...start your argument with verifiable facts as far as possible. You won't go too far off track if you do. These things can be verified you know.
It was used for political purposes related to the presidential campaign, used to attempt to manipulate the free and open elections the people have come to expect, and not for any other reason we might reasonably expect the supposedly impartial, non-partisan bureaucracy to act.
ONE WARRANT. ONE. ONLY ONE.

reveals the FBI under James Comey agreed to reimburse the Clinton campaign and DNC for money it spent on the opposition research.
If true, this is just so juicy.....
I think that is inaccurate.
They didn't pay the dnc.
The fbi did however pay Steele, which is probably worse.
Tax money was used by the fbi to pay a guy that was being paid by the dnc to do opposition research against their opponent.
It is outrageous.
Or maybe, if true that they paid Steele, it wasn't for "oppo research of one candidate " but rather because of a threat to the US that needed further investigation?
Maybe Russia was seen as the threat? Just a wild guess there but IF the dossier was to some good degree corroborated, IF it holds to some degree true (it is raw intelligence), don't you think the FBI might be just a wee bit interested??
Then the fbi can investigate themselves.
But ok fine. Alex Jones has said some things that are true in his investigations, such as Hillary's team paid for the dossier.
So you have no problem with the fbi paying him to do research into the corruption of Hillary and obama, right?
Or is it only ok to use tax money to pay private people to go after trump?

Paying Steele to investigate ANYTHING the FBI deems a threat is freaking ok by me. How's that?
Where do you get those words you try to stuff in my mouth??

They hired Steel after the Russians hacking of the DNC was revealed. They wanted info on Russia and Steels firm Orbis, a non governmental private investigative firm, had an expert in investigating Russians with years of experience with MI6. That was Christopher Steele. He was hired as a sub contractor to FUSION GPS. No one but them ever paid Steele.
The FBI reimbursed some expenses of the former British intelligence operative who produced a dossier containing allegations of President Donald Trump's ties to Russia, people familiar with the matter said.
In addition, by even spying on one person from Trumps campaign, it allowed Obama and company to here all of the conversations that this person was having with other campaign people (maybe even Trump), and could lead to that info being unmasked and leaked to the press. Oh wait, thats exactly what happened!

First you have no proof that is all it was used for
Washington (CNN)The FBI last year used a dossier of allegations of Russian ties to Donald Trump's campaign as part of the justification to win approval to secretly monitor a Trump associate, according to US officials briefed on the investigation.
The dossier has also been cited by FBI Director James Comey in some of his briefings to members of Congress in recent weeks, as one of the sources of information the bureau has used to bolster its investigation, according to US officials briefed on the probe.
This includes approval from the secret court that oversees the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to monitor the communications of Carter Page, two of the officials said. Last year, Page was identified by the Trump campaign as an adviser on national security

I love the anti trumps talking points on the dosssier.
One group says that no one took the dossier seriously and it was obviously ridiculous, so there is no reason to get to hung up on it.
The other group says it is super serious and accurate and it has and should continue to be part of the FBI's case against Trump and his team.
Absolutely hilarious.
