A lot of companies use Fusion GPS every year. Free Beacon did too. But it hired Fusion for services that had nothing to do with the crooked Hillary/DNC Dossier on candidate Trump.

Free Beacon is, in fact, working to assist Congress, as needed.

STORY: www.cnn.com...

So you are saying there is no problem with hiring Fusion GPS unless they are democrats?

worth a link ....

Perkins Coie payments 2017



and 2013-2014 while we're at it

a reply to: xuenchen

OFA has been paying Perkins Coie since 2007, and I didn't add up all the payments, but it's probably around $8 million...just search different 2-yr date ranges on the FEC link from the OP.

They've been helping Obama 'solve' problems since he became known to American citizens.

Now... what that actually means is anyone's guess.

Just a thought. . . . .

I was wondering what would cost so much that Obama, Hillary, anti-Trumpers would pay.


And then it occurred to me.


Maybe Fusion GPS had dirt on Obama and Hillary which is why they paid so much.

I think it is really childish for people to point fingers at those who funded the law firm. The law firm was reputable and one of the top firms. I never cared for the connect the dot type of Glenn Beck stupidity even when it is used against Trump.

I do think it should lower the law firms credibility, but not their clients.

You dont care for connect the dot style investigations? The surely you have been against the one into Trumps team.

They were paying a firm colluding with russia to get dirt on Trump. Obama had the wife of one of the key employees of Fusion GPS as his advisor.

The dems have been saying for nearly a year that getting dirt on your opponent from the russians was criminal.

Now we find out they were paying for it.

Obama was made aware of this document in at least November 2016. He knew exactly where is came from.

Yet not only did he fail to mention to anyone he was paying the law firm that got it, he actually kept paying them and according to the most recent FEC was paying them at least up to this august.

Is Fusion GPS Russian?


No, it isn't so it seems you are a lot to do about nothing.

They helped enormously with the birth certificate controlled opposition efforts in court.

The info in the dossier came from Russian sources, via Steele. Purchased with Hillary dollars.

Of course thats not the case.

The question all revolves around using Russia to get dirt.

Paying a firm for oppo research, while crappy, is common and not a big deal.

Paying them to get dirt from russians on your opponent, all the while screaming that working with russians to get dirt is criminal, is what is a big deal.

The washington Beacon is cooperating, and showing that they didn't pay Fusion GPS when they were working with Russia (although GPS may have had connections to russians too from before)

Hillarys team and the DNC paid this firm to get dirt on Trump from russians, and then lied about it for a year.

Obama was paying the same firm at the same time. His advisor was the wife of a key GPS employee. Obama most likely used this dossier in the investigation of trump.

Now if it turns out the Beacon was paying GPS to collude with russia; then they should also be held accountable.

Sorry, but paying a third party to collude with russia is not an excuse.

Not illegal.

It is a whole different story when Trumps son does a Scooby do and meets with the Russians to collaborate.


What is legal and illegal or scandalous should be very clear to everyone at this point. Should is the keyword, but it seems my expectations of the ATS crowd are too high.

Actually, it is.

Fusion GPS is a commercial research and strategic intelligence firm based in Washington, D.C. it advertises and operates legally in that way. So it is above an excuse it is well known and legal.

a reply to: Grambler

2 questions, Grambler...

First this...

Hillarys team and the DNC paid this firm to get dirt on Trump from russians, and then lied about it for a year.

They paid GPS... but did they know that GPS would use Russians to get the dirt?




Second this...

His advisor was the wife of a key GPS employee.

“Key”?
How do you know that?

How do you know they’re not a mere pencil pusher at the company?



Thanks in advance.

Expectations and preprogrammed biases tend to conflict and end in disillusionment and disappointment.

a reply to: MotherMayEye
silly question here, but did you take the time to go back and read the non-starred post I was replying to?

Maybe not as it seems you came across my reply to another and within two minutes, read it, wrote and posted a reply. That's fast so maybe there was not time left to check back to what it was referring to. And that post I replied to had NO stars, which by the way juxtaposes with your reply above that within only a few minutes had garnered a half dozen while mine had two. Now how the heck did my reply, one that actually was nothing but drift from the OP get two stars. I ask you. And yours got six, completely off topic.

To COLLABORATE on what?

a reply to: Grimpachi

Pokemon go, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and now Scooby Doo.
What did Trump's son do that was illegal?
Have you followed the story enough to know that the woman that he met has backed up his story?
Why did Trump Jr come clean on the story right away... when Hillary kept her knowledge of her part in the Fusion GPS story hidden for over a year?

Thats a great question that many would like to know since his texts say one thing while he claims another.

That was an intel gathering operation.

And boy did they get the intel.

You mean the writen statment from his father that he read to the press.

the woman that he met has backed up his story

It was a good story. Again why did the texts say they were meeting for a different reason?
