Discussions on the Trump Dossier

A YEAR of Clinton lies about the 'golden showers' dossier exposed as Hillary's lawyer is under fire for falsely denying paying for it

There's a theme here.

"A Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer who launched what would become known as the anti-Trump 'dirty dossier' denied involvement in the project for a year as reporters pressed him for information.
"Marc Elias brokered a deal between the Clinton camp, the Democratic National Committee and opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on the president while he was running for office.
"But a pair of New York Times reporters said Tuesday night on Twitter that Elias and others involved had lied about their ties to the arrangement.
'Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year,' Times reporter Maggie Haberman tweeted after The Washington Post linked the dossier to Elias and his law firm Perkins Coie.
"Kennth Vogel, another Times journalist, tweeted: 'When I tried to report this story, Clinton campaign lawyer @marceelias pushed back vigorously, saying "You (or your sources) are wrong".' " . . .

Clinton 'may have known' about funding the Steele dossier says her former spokesman

More at Legal Insurrection  . . . "This document, it is now being reported, was funded by the Clinton campaign and by the DNC, then led by disgraced former DNC chair Debbie Wassermann-Schultz."

COLLUSION, CLINTON STYLE  . . . "the Trump Dossier is the Rosetta Stone of the campaign collusion hysteria. This is real news, but it seems to me to reflect the world of fake news we have been living in since election day."

THE FUSION CONTUSION  . . . " Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge asked Senator Tom Cotton about the Trump Dossier yesterday at a Hudson Institute Forum. Senator Cotton is a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. In his response he briefly recounted public events and drew inferences . . . . Chuck Ross posted the video excerpt and wrote up the exchange for the Daily Caller here.

"Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year"  . . . "Right now, the MSM is ignoring the story as much as possible, but the cofferdam has too many leaks.  The presence of aggrieved, name-brand reporters at the NYT and WaPo is important, because their work cannot be dismissed as Fox News or Breitbart. The two papers operate as pilot fish for the rest of the media.
"But even more importantly, there will be subpoenas, hearings, and eventually testimony.
"Real events will happen.
"And we have a President of the United States who will keep talking and tweeting about it.
"Senator Grassley is calling for a special counsel on Uranium One.
"Best of all, the storyline is clear. The Clintons took in $140 million and national security was jeopardized. And she’s been lying to us to our faces."
