The Never Trumpers hired Fusion GPS and a few others to do opposition research on Trump. But once it was clear that Trump would win the GOP nomination.
Those same Never Trumpers gave what they received to Hillary and the DNC. Once with them it ramped up and expanded.
Right, though I think it was Fusion that approached the Dems once the RINO cut off funding. And the Steele dossier which was peddled to the media and used as a justification to spy on the Trump campaign was entirely funded by the Dems.
A Republican did pay them before Trump got the nomination but that money had nothing to do with the Steele dossier- which is wholly a Dem funded creation.
I heard on George Webb on Youtube that Christopher Steele was just the front man and the Steele Dossier was written (at CIA Langley?). Anyone have a paper trail on this one?
Probably January 2016 would be the date it all started and then it would have changed names when Steele gave the ok he would be the Beard.
Send in your data on this to the usual people.
If I am going to make a claim that is beyond common knowledge, I try to put in a source, unless I say that I know someone that had direct knowledge of it.

Yes, kind of.
If I recall correctly initially Fusion GPS was hired by Republicans to dig up dirt on Trump during the primaries. Once Trump won the Republican nomination the contract was terminated so Fusion GPS reached out to Hilary’s camp. Once Clinton’s campaign started picking up the tab they hired Christopher Steele and Nellie Orh. That’s when it morphed from opposition research into what we now know as the Russian Hoax aka the Steele Dossier.
Not sure if the Republicans were ever named but I would wager both John McCain and Paul Ryan were involved.

At what point did they say 'we can't find any dirt, let's hire Steele to fabricate dirt?
Context: In DC EVERYBODY has hired GPS. They're a research firm (basically).
Its ok PEPE, I believe it was Jeb Bush that paid the first installment to Fusion GPS, but he would have lost to HRC on purpose.
Its Ok PEPE,
Gooood Pepe, Good Pepe...

I don’t think the Steele dossier was part of the early work done by FGPS.
Another Pede is confirming. Sounds like a classic Leftist half-truth.

Thank you, fellow Pede. Another Leftist half-truth, classic Leftist tactic. The MSM lies, I believe my fellow Pedes!
