Here's one of them from yesterday: "A fake dossier, they made it up, and the Democrats always denied paying for it."
The Lyin' King was referring to the dossier generated by Fusion GPS, a strategic research firm employed during the 2016 campaign. Their investigations found that Trump's Russian connections were far more extensive than disclosed. The report included the salacious allegations of Donnie's video-taped "golden showers" in a Moscow hotel room.
There's nothing wrong with Fusion GPS. They are as legit as any similar political research firm. They don't just make up fake news. Total B.S. isn't useful. They investigate, they dig for dirt.
There's nothing at all unusual about their research into Trump's activities, nor is there anything unusual about interested parties paying for it. In fact, Fusion GPS was first engaged in the campaign by a donor to one of Trump's GOP primary rivals. They were subsequently engaged by the Democratic National Committee on behalf of the Clinton campaign.
Like it or not, "oppo" research is a normal feature across today's political landscape. It can often produce unverifiable accusations, and it can sometimes uncover uncomfortable or embarrassing facts.
As far as the Fusion GPS dossier goes, it is publicly unclear if its contents are reliable or not. But you better bet your ass the Trump campaign was paying for oppo research too, not to mention all the free help he received from Russian government hackers, WikiLeaks, his own TV network (Fox News), the Wall Street Journal, Breitbart, Drudge, and all the alternative-fact fake news he could tweet. So STFU!
"Leaked" intelligence? |
He's lying.
