The Washington Post just dropped a yuge bombshell:
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.
Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.
After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to the people.
Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the firm in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Prior to that agreement, Fusion GPS’s research into Trump was funded by a still unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.
But since this is from anonymous sources, I’m sure the Trump people will decry it just like they did all the Washington Post’s stories on the White House, right? Right?
Remember, Fusion GPS has been doing everything they can to protect the information that would reveal who paid for the dossier to be compiled:

If the WaPo report is true, then we know exactly why they’re doing that…
