House Intelligence Committee strikes deal for access to Fusion GPS bank records

I hope the countries they flee to have extradition!

What "crime" is bringing down the house?

Hint...CF.

Until now, Fusion GPS has been uncooperative in any investigation involving them. It's actually not a bad policy for a company that provides opposition research. But I think they've got the sense that this investigation is going to be a whole lot bigger than them, and they've got the choice of remaining uncooperative and possibly getting smushed like a bug by the investigation as it rolls on toward its objective, or sidestepping the path of the investigation by cooperating and remaining relatively unscathed.

People (Democrats) are already trying to avoid getting rolled by this investigation by claiming ignorance (some more plausibly than others), and it's just getting started.

Don't rain on the trumpian parade with facts, facts provide them no comfort

Let them imagine imaginary crimes utli reality sinks in on its own

They are demanding people go to jail for imaginary crimes, so their final meltdown will not be far off.

Steel was not brought on until after the DNC picked up the tab but whatever.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - I never said the research didn't stop before the DNC began funding it. In fact, I used past tense. Not sure where you are going there. You state they have a long history of disinformation; please support this. Also, you allege Clinton's people "colluded" with the Ukrainian government; source please?

I mean a person or organization focused on progressing the agenda of the Republican Party. The Washington Beacon fits that definition, much as MSNBC would be a Democratic operative. It's someone who "operates" for that party. Think of it a step above biased, but below directly works for. Maybe actively aligned?

I skimmed the Politico article. If what they report is true, I would consider it unsettling. That said, their source is unclear, and as a 35F by trade, I need multiple sources. Also, the article *you* are citing claims "But they were far less concerted or centrally directed than Russia’s alleged hacking and dissemination of Democratic emails."

I apologize for a quick skim and a brief answer- getting dinner ready and preparing for the Lions game. I hope to gt back to this tomorrow.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - The DNC paid an American lawyer who hired an American firm who used a British agent. That's not collusion by the DNC. At most, it's a failure to vet subcontractors. It's also worth noting, the Brit didn't represent the government of an enemy state, or any state for that matter.

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - what is to spin? No w laws were broken at any point by either the Republicans that started it or the Democrats that finished it. I have yet to hear anyone explain what laws were broken.

If they did not lie under oath or to the FBI there is n ok thing to investigate. The rest of the BS you want to investigate is both legal and common practice. What is the crime they are supposedly investigating? Allegation of the russian connection is just smoke and mirrors since nobody has presented any evidence.
What crime are they investigating on what basis?

MSG Joseph Cristofaro - Two thing neither was SWORN at the time neither was talking to law enforcement and so far there is ZERO evidence that they knew about the dossier.
That was an accurate article from find law, they are a great source, but not very relevant.
