Daily Caller: Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta met with the founder of the opposition research firm behind the Trump dossier just after the dirty document was published earlier this year, according to a new report in The New York Times.
The revelation is significant because Podesta, a longtime Democratic operative, recently told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he did not know who paid the research firm, Fusion GPS, to produce the dossier, which BuzzFeed published on Jan. 10.
An associate of Podesta’s told The Times that he met with Glenn Simpson, the founding partner of Fusion GPS, to compare notes about Russia’s meddling in the election.
Podesta’s associate told The Times that Simpson was considering whether his firm should continue its investigation of Trump’s alleged ties to Russia.
The Times report does not say whether Podesta and Simpson discussed the Clinton campaign’s involvement in the dossier project.
It was reported last month that Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the Clinton campaign and DNC, hired Fusion GPS in April 2016 to investigate Trump. Fusion hired former British spy Christopher Steele that June to investigate Trump’s activities in Russia.
Perkins Coie paid Fusion GPS just over $1 million for its work on the project. Fusion paid Steele $168,000. read more
Yeah, but it was only to talk about flying saucers.
organgrinder, I’m pretty sure cheese pizza was discussed as well.
All of the cheating by the Dems…..and they still lost! Thank you God!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
I would love to stuff all this
demo-russia collusion down Keith Olberdouche’s
throat on live TV.Then who is the JACKASS!
So the Senate Intelligence Committee was “grilling” this guy? So what. Let me know when someone’s indicted and goes before a judge I know hasn’t been appointed by Barack Hussein O.
Wonder no more how many people in the media knew who all attended the lawyer meeting.
It was a setup from the jump.
Never liked the looks of this guy with his slity little eyes. His face always reminds me of a lizard. I expect to see a long tongue slither out periodically.
He is gross. Just like the Emanuel brothers.
He’d look good in orange.
Anyone that stupid looking ought to have their ass kicked, just because.
