Kamala Harris campaign lawyer hired Fusion GPS for Hillary Clinton

Wash Exam-

The former top lawyer for Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential campaign who hired Fusion GPS to carry out controversial opposition research against then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016 is now working for a top 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful.

Marc Elias, who heads Perkins Coie’s political law group, became general counsel for California Sen. Kamala Harris’ presidential bid this year. Elias, who held the same position in Clinton’s campaign, is named in two pending Federal Election Commission complaints and in a recent federal lawsuit alleging that the Clinton campaign broke campaign finance laws when it used Perkins Coie to hire Fusion GPS.

Fusion GPS went on to hire British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled an unverified dossier allegedly based on sources close to the Kremlin which was disseminated to the media and used by the FBI to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants targeting former Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is reviewing alleged FISA abuse related to the dossier and Attorney General William Barr launched his “investigation of the investigators” earlier this year.

  1. Hey! Go easy there. I’m sure Harris wasn’t aware of this. Had she been, she wouldn’t have taken him on (in that respect). Then again, she IS a flaming dumbass.

  2. This is a chance for anyone of the other candidates (or a new one) to spike Harris’s campaign, differentiate themselves from the pack and more important from Hillary. There’s a lot of Democrats out there that aren’t hard left that are desperately trying to find a candidate they can vote for. This is where that idiot Biden is getting his support from. Having said that, I think it would have to be a new face as all the rest have benighted themselves already.
