Bill Kristol’s Son-in-Law: I Hired Fusion GPS in Primary

LifeZette:

Matthew Continetti, the editor of the neo-conservative website, the Washington Free Beacon, wrote in a letter posted online just after 7 p.m. on Friday that the Free Beacon hired Fusion GPS during the Republican primary to do research on Republican candidates. That research kicked off what became known as the “dossier” used to smear Donald Trump.

The Washington Free Beacon is funded by New York hedge fund manager Paul Singer, who backed Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) in the Republican primary, and was vigorously opposed to Donald Trump.

Continetti is the 36-year-old editor-in-chief. He started the website with Michael Goldfarb after marrying the daughter of NeverTrumper Bill Kristol. Goldfarb previously worked for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.)

The letter signed by Continetti starts off by saying that the Free Beacon has regularly retained “third party firms” to conduct research since its founding in 2012 — a declaration that most people working in journalism would find odd, even bewildering, given that research is at the core of what journalists do and so is not normally contracted out, and given the cost of such outsourcing. Fusion GPS was reportedly paid $9 million for the opposition research on Trump that it produced in the general election for the DNC and the Clinton campaign.

“Since its launch in February of 2012, the Washington Free Beacon has retained third party firms to conduct research on many individuals and institutions of interest to us and our readers. In that capacity, during the 2016 election cycle we retained Fusion GPS to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary, just as we retained other firms to assist in our research into Hillary Clinton. All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to the Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier. The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele. Nor did we have any knowledge of the relationship between Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and the Clinton campaign.”

Continetti goes on to write that representatives of the Free Beacon contacted the House Intelligence Committee on Friday and offered to answer questions about Fusion GPS, a controversial firm founded by three former employees of the Wall Street Journal.

“They get paid to destroy people,” Venezuelan human rights activist Thor Halvorssen said on “Fox & Friends” this week, referring to his personal experience with the firm when he tried to expose corruption in U.S. companies operating in Venezuela.

All those collaborators mentioned in the article should be sent fishing together on the Gulf of Mexico without life vests on board. During a Cat. V hurricane.

I posted this several months ago when Fusion GPS was beginning to surface. Nunes successfully gained access to their bank records (although under seal & pertinent to Trump dossier). However, Fusion has ties to Russia via Venezuela pre Trump, and will protect their bank records at all costs.
Big ties, big dirty business. The dirty smear campaign they ran on Trump is modus operandi for them.

Bill Kristolnacht likes pizza. He eats pizza at John Podestaphile’s house with Tony Podestaphile. They should all be hung from a lamp post.

Lets keep it real. These animals are all sexual deviants and predators. Hollywood scum, Washington political scum, and Wash-NY media scumbags all caught and exposed. Maybe they just are tired of hiding it and want to desensitize people to accept it, ala Bruce Jenner, et al.

If they will rape a five year old girl, even if they are not a homo, with some drugs or liquor they will also then progress to raping five year old boys.

Once they rape little boys, even though they may have “a wife”, they are definitely banging other homo men as well.

Stephanopolous is a homo pizza eater, Kristol is a homo pizza eater, Todd is a homo pizza eater, Cooper and Lemon are flaming homos and gobble pizza. The list goes on, just add any name, and its for sure a homo child raping scumbag. Im sure Ryan and Weener shared pizza too.

I can connect the dots, even if the Free Beacon can’t.
