Daily Caller: The opposition research firm behind the infamous Trump dossier is being sued for defamation in federal court.
The lawsuit, filed on Tuesday by three executives with Alfa Bank, a private commercial Russian bank, is the first filed against Fusion GPS and its founder, Glenn Simpson, since the dossier was published by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10.
Other lawsuits have been filed, both against BuzzFeed and against Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the largely uncorroborated dossier. Alfa Bank’s trio of executives recently filed suit against BuzzFeed, and a Russian tech executive named in the dossier has sued both the news outlet and Steele, who operates a London-based intelligence firm called Orbis. read more
As this apparently baseless dossier forms the basis for accusations of collusion between Trump and Russia, it would have saved millions of taxpayer $$ to prove it false. (Actually, as collusion is not a crime, this witch hunt is not just a waste of $$, but has divided and destabilized US.)
That means forcing the issue. Congress apparently cannot. So the DoJ or intelligence services should. The US perps are easy. Foreign perps may need some deal sweetener; like not offing them.
Clearly, some in power don’t want to show the dossier to be baseless.
Clearly being ignored by the washington insiders in hopes it has a negative effect on Trump. The scum are in distress.
I’d like to know how “Mr. Helper”, John McCain became involved in this. No, not the reason he states, but the real reason.
May they win bigly.
