FINALLY, A Definitive Timeline Showing When Clinton, DNC Started The Russian Dossier
There has been much confusion in the media — and thereby, the public — about who funded the infamous Trump dossier. Some outlets have incorrectly reported that Republicans began financing the dossier before the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee took over last Spring.
But that is incorrect. Democrats are solely responsible for the dossier, which was passed around by their research firm, Fusion GPS, to Beltway reporters and select lawmakers during the heat of the presidential campaign.
Here is the definitive timeline of how it all transpired.
Oct. 2015: It was reported late Friday that the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website funded by GOP mega-donor Paul Singer, hired Fusion GPS to investigate Trump. Free Beacon’s editor said Friday that the research was standard opposition research and that it was not tied to the dossier work that would follow several months later. It is not clear what, if anything, Singer knew about Free Beacon’s hiring of Fusion. The hedge fund manager was Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s biggest backer.
Feb. 20, 2016: Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush drops from the Republican primary.
March: Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee. Perkins Coie general counsel revealed this week that Fusion offered to continue Trump opposition research it had started while working for a Republican candidate.
March 15: Florida Sen. Marco Rubio drops from the Republican primary after losing to Trump in his home state.
April: Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the campaign and DNC, would serve as the bagman.
That month, Federal Election Commission records show that the Clinton campaign paid Perkins Coie a total of $150,000 for legal services. The DNC paid the firm around $107,000. It is unclear how much of that went to Fusion GPS. Both the campaign and DNC would pay Perkins Coie hundreds of thousands more dollars throughout the campaign.
May: Free Beacon ends its contract with Fusion.
May 3-4: Texas Sen. Ted Cruz drops out of the Republican primary on May 3. Ohio Gov. John Kasich drops out of the next day, leaving Trump as the only GOP candidate.
June: Fusion GPS hires former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele and his London-based firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. Steele discloses this in court filings earlier this year as part of a lawsuit he faces over the dossier. Steele said he worked for Fusion GPS from June through November.
June 20: Steele writes first memo of the dossier. It alleges that Trump used prostitutes during a visit to Moscow in 2013 and that the Kremlin was blackmailing him with the evidence. The memo also alleges that the Trump campaign was engaged in a well-orchestrated collusion campaign with Russian operatives.
July 5: Steele provides his research to an FBI contact, The New York Times has reported . The documents made their way to FBI counterintelligence chief Peter Strzock two weeks later.
July: Chatter began appearing on social media referring to damning information about Trump’s ties to Russia. Republican strategist Rick Wilson told The New York Times back in January, after the dossier was published, that he was first asked about the document by a reporter in July.
July 26: A Wall Street Journal reporter contacts Carter Page, a Trump campaign adviser, about allegations made about him in the dossier. Page disclosed that detail last month in a lawsuit he filed against the parent company of Yahoo! News, which republished claims from the dossier last September. (RELATED: Carter Page Sues Yahoo! News Over Dossier-Based Article)
Late July: The FBI opens a counterintelligence investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government.
Aug. 25: Then-CIA Director John Brennan briefs then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid about possible links between Trump associates and Russian operatives. According to The New York Times , officials in the meeting said that Brennan “indicated that unnamed advisers to Mr. Trump might be working with the Russians to interfere in the election.”
September: The FBI obtained a surveillance warrant from a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Carter Page. The application for the warrant reportedly cited the dossier as evidence.
Late September: In court filings in London, where he is being sued, Steele says that he briefed reporters at several news outlets following instructions from Fusion GPS. Steele briefed The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, The New Yorker and Yahoo! News.
Sept. 23: Yahoo News publishes an article that, it is now known, relied heavily on the dossier’s claims about Page. The article, from veteran journalist Michael Isikoff, contains allegations that Page met secretly with Russian government officials that July in Moscow. Page has denied the allegation and is suing Yahoo! over the article.
October: Steele met with FBI agents who offered to pay the former spy to continue his investigation of Trump.
Mid-October: Steele, again acting on directions from Fusion, met with reporters from The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Yahoo! News.
Oct. 31: Earlier in October, Steele conducted an interview on Skype with Mother Jones reporter David Corn. Corn published a piece referring to Steele as a “Western intelligence official” who had compiled information on Trump’s ties to Russia.
November: The contract between the Democrats, Fusion and Steele ends along with the presidential campaign.
Nov. 18: Arizona Sen. John McCain and a former assistant, David Kramer, are told about the existence of the dossier by an associate of Steele’s, former British diplomat Sir Andrew Wood. Kramer travels to London later that month to meet with Steele and find out more about the dossier. Steele forwards a copy of the dossier to Fusion, Kramer and McCain.
Dec. 9: McCain provides a copy of the dossier to then-FBI Director James Comey during a meeting at the latter’s office.
Dec. 13: Steele writes the final memo of the dossier. It alleges that a Russian tech executive used his companies to hack into the DNC’s email systems. The executive, Aleksej Gubarev, denied the allegations after the dossier was published by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10, 2017. He is suing both BuzzFeed and Steele.
Jan. 6: Comey and other intelligence community officials brief then-President-elect Trump on some of the allegations made in the dossier.
Jan. 10: CNN reports that the briefing of Trump took place four days earlier. Citing that reporting as justification, BuzzFeed publishes the dossier.
March 15: Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrel, a supporter of Clinton’s, casts doubt on the dossier and Steele’s sourcing.
Morrel said that the revelation that Steele paid intermediaries to obtain information that wound up in the dossier “kind of worries me a little bit.”
“If you’re paying somebody, particularly former FSB officers, they are going to tell you truth and innuendo and rumor, and they’re going to call you up and say, ‘Hey, let’s have another meeting, I have more information for you,’ because they want to get paid some more,” said Morell.
Aug. 22: Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson meets with the Senate Judiciary Committee for 10 hours but refuses to disclose the identity of his clients.
Sept. 18: Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he was unaware of who paid for the dossier. It would later be reported that Podesta was sitting next to the man who actually did pay for the document, his attorney, Marc Elias. Elias apparently did not speak up during the interview to take responsibility for the dossier. (RELATED: John Podesta Denied Knowing Who Paid For Dossier)
Oct. 4: The House Intelligence Committee issues subpoenas to Fusion’s three co-founders as well as to its bank, TD Bank. One goal of the subpoenas was to find out Fusion’s clients’ identities.
Oct. 18: Two Fusion partners, Peter Fritsch and Thomas Catan, plead the Fifth during House Intelligence Committee interviews.
Oct. 20: Fusion GPS files a request for an injunction attempting to block the release of its bank records.
Oct. 24: Perkins Coie, the law firm for the Clinton campaign and DNC, reveals itself as Fusion’s dossier client. The Washington Post reports Elias’ involvement.

With all the fake articles on here, I decided to put a fake comment. You know with someone saying a soldier who died was a traitor when he wasn't and someone putting an article up about how Trump was poisoning Hillary, we just have to overlook them. I see the soldier article is gone.
So here is a fake comment and when you've read it and see how it feels to have someone use a fake document to push an investigation you may see how some would realize how it would be if it was reversed.
There has been much confusion in the media — and thereby, the public — about who funded the infamous Hillary Clinton Dossier. Some outlets have incorrectly reported that Democrats began financing the dossier before the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee took over last spring.
But that is incorrect. Republicans are solely responsible for the dossier, which was passed around by their research firm, America Rising, to Beltway reporters and select lawmakers during the heat of the presidential campaign.
Here is the definitive timeline of how it all transpired.
Oct. 2015: It was reported late Friday that the Daily Kos, a Liberal website funded by Democrat mega-donor Tom Steyer, hired America Rising to investigate Hillary. Daily Kos editor said Friday that the research was standard opposition research and that it was not tied to the dossier work that would follow several months later. It is not clear what, if anything, Steyer knew about Daily Kos’s hiring of America Rising. The hedge fund manager was Bernie Sander’s biggest backer.
March: America Rising approached Morgan-Lewis, the law firm for the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee. Morgan-Lewis revealed this week that America Rising offered to continue Hillary opposition research it had started while working for a Democrat candidate.
April: Morgan-Lewis, using money from the Trump campaign and RNC, hires America Rising, Joe Pounder, Research Director for the RNC and co-partner to Morgan-Lewis who would serve as the bagman.

June 20: Steele writes first memo of the dossier. It alleges that Hillary worked with the Kremlin to get the Uranium One deal approved during a Russian investigation by US Intelligence about Russia’s involvement in bribes and others illegal activities to gain more of the United States uranium production. Russia rewarded her by paying Bill Clinton $500,000 for a one hour speech and other Russians involved donating $145,000 to the Clinton Foundation. The memo also alleges that the Clinton campaign was engaged in a well-orchestrated collusion campaign with Russian operatives to bring down Trump, but the Russians had damaging evidence about the Clinton’s “Pay for Play” activities during and after her time as Secretary of State. The possibility of bribery was highly suspected.
July 5: Steele provides his research to an FBI contact, The New York Times has reported. The documents made their way to FBI counterintelligence chief Peter Strzock two weeks later.

The Coming Russia Bombshells
A judge may order Fusion GPS to give House investigators its bank records.
October 26, 2017
The confirmation this week that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee paid an opposition-research firm for a “dossier” on Donald Trump is bombshell news. More bombshells are to come.
The Fusion GPS saga isn’t over. The Clinton-DNC funding is but a first glimpse into the shady election doings concealed within that oppo-research firm’s walls. We now know where Fusion got some of its cash, but the next question is how the firm used it. With whom did it work beyond former British spy Christopher Steele ? Whom did it pay? Who else was paying it?
The answers are in Fusion’s bank records. Fusion has doggedly refused to divulge the names of its clients for months now, despite extraordinary pressure. So why did the firm suddenly insist that middleman law firm Perkins Coie release Fusion from confidentiality agreements, and spill the beans on who hired it?
Because there’s something Fusion cares about keeping secret even more than the Clinton-DNC news—and that something is in those bank records. The release of the client names was a last-ditch effort to appease the House Intelligence Committee, which issued subpoenas to Fusion’s bank and was close to obtaining records until Fusion filed suit last week. The release was also likely aimed at currying favor with the court, given Fusion’s otherwise weak legal case. The judge could rule as early as Friday morning.
If the House wins, don’t be surprised if those records include money connected to Russians. In the past Fusion has worked with Russians, including lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, who happened to show up last year in Donald Trump Jr.’s office.
FBI bombshells are also yet to come. The bureau has stonewalled congressional subpoenas for documents related to the dossier, but that became harder with the DNC-Clinton news. On Thursday Speaker Paul Ryan announced the FBI had finally pledged to turn over its dossier file next week.
Assuming the FBI is comprehensive in its disclosure, expect to learn that the dossier was indeed a major basis of investigating the Trump team—despite reading like “the National Enquirer,” as Rep. Trey Gowdy aptly put it. We may learn the FBI knew the dossier was a bought-and-paid-for product of Candidate Clinton, but used it anyway. Or that it didn’t know, which would be equally disturbing.
It might show the bureau was simply had. Don’t forget that it wasn’t until January the dossier became public, and the media started unearthing details. And the more ugly info that came out (Fusion, Democratic clients, intelligence-for-hire) the more former Obama officials seemed skeptical of it. In May, former Director of National Intelligence Jim Clapper said his people could never “corroborate” its “sourcing.” In June, Mr. Comey derided it as “salacious and unverified.”
Yet none of this jibes with reports that the FBI debated paying Mr. Steele to continue his work. Or that Mr. Comey was so convinced by the dossier that he pushed to have it included in the intelligence community’s January report on Russian meddling. Imagine if it turns out the FBI was duped by a politically contracted document that might have been filled up by the Kremlin.
There’s plenty yet to come with regard to the DNC and the Clinton campaign. Every senior Democrat is disclaiming knowledge of the dossier deal, leaving Perkins Coie holding the bag. But while it is not unusual for law firms to hire opposition-research outfits for political clients, it is highly unusual for a law firm to pay bills without a client’s approval. Somewhere, Perkins Coie has documents showing who signed off on those bills, and they aren’t protected by attorney-client privilege.
Those names will matter, since someone at the DNC and at the Clinton campaign will need to explain how they somehow both forgot to list Fusion as a vendor in their campaign-finance filings. Some Justice Department lawyer is presumably already looking into whether this was a willful evasion, which can carry criminal penalties. It’s one thing to forget to list that local hot-dog supplier for the campaign picnic. It’s a little fishier when two entities both fail to list the firm that supplied them the most explosive hit job in a generation.
And there are still bombshells with regard to unmasking of Americans in surveilled communications. If the Steele dossier reports (which appear to date back to June 2016) were making their way into the hands of senior DNC and Clinton political operatives, you can bet they were making their way to the Obama White House. This may explain why Obama political appointees began monitoring the Trump campaign and abusing unmasking. They were looking for a “gotcha,” something to disqualify a Trump presidency. Of course, they were doing so on the basis of “salacious and unverified” accusations made by anonymous Russians, but never mind.
No, this probe of the Democratic Party’s Russian dalliance has a long, long way to go. And, let us hope, with revelations too big for even the media to ignore.
Yeah....apparently it's a "bombshell" that both Republicans like Paul Singer and Dems do opposition research on GOP candidates, just like Dems and the GOP do opposition research on Dem candidates,
Even funnier that conservatives pretend to be surprised, as if they're just learning now that the DNC took over the funding of that research after Trump won the GOP nomination. Seriously, are conservatives truly that naive or do they just not pay attention? AFAIK it's been known for a long time that the Dems continued funding that research which proved the Russian government was trying to get Trump elected.
Then why did the attorney, Marc Elias, sitting next to him, not speak up when John Podesta told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he was unaware of who paid for it. Wonder if he was asked the same question?
Sept. 18: Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he was unaware of who paid for the dossier. It would later be reported that Podesta was sitting next to the man who actually did pay for the document, his attorney, Marc Elias. Elias apparently did not speak up during the interview to take responsibility for the dossier.
You'll have to ask him rather than me but Elias was not the person the committee was interviewing. It's not in the nature of attorneys to volunteer information, particularly when they're not the person who was asked the question and are in the room in a different capacity altogether. Besides which what really matters is not which US political interest paid for it but rather that the report's central findings have been confirmed......the Russians really were interfering in the election in an attempt to get Der Fuhrer elected. If anything my opinion of Paul Singer has improved a bit because of his initial funding of this research.
Funny though that so many right wingers are freaking out about it. Are they so dumb that they don't understand that campaigns pay for oppo research or do they simply think those researchers work for free?
Yeah those pesky roosters like their roosts don't they!
Yes they do NWM. I am glad I ran across the WSJ article in the comment above. I believe they have hit the bulls eye dead center.
There is nothing unusual about this. The biggest crooks in politics are Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Signed,
Donald trump....sued for fraud 3,500+ times.
That little exchange immediately above shows that certain people lie to each other and themselves at least as much as to the rest of us. That must be what it takes to keep believing in the Big Lies that have been going around in their circle for decades if not generations.
That would explain the actions of the left very well
Complaining and arguing who paid for the dossier, (it's been reported by many different outlets that the, "never trump republicans", started the investigation but dropped it when trump won the nomination, at which time the DNC picked it up and continued to fund it), is a little like going to the doctor and hearing, "well, we found out you have a very aggressive but treatable form of brain cancer, but....that can wait, we need to get that hangnail fixed!"
.
I could care less who paid for it, if the information in it is true and accurate, it should be used. Trump claims to be the "law and order president", why would he want this document to go away if the information in it is true?
So you don't have an issue with the dnc email that were leakef
Nope, I don't.
To them that's not fair. Doesn't make any difference if they are true. It's not fair they're stolen. Tired of playing by the Democrat rules, aren't you?
Which is the original leaked story and has been thoroughly debunked, it was started at the behest of the Clinton Campaign. By a paid political trash collector/creator.
Perhaps as part of that mountain of trash they were going to use against him in the campaign, you know the gift that keeps giving?
The contents have already been revealed, remember the russian whores peeing all over him story? Everyone already knows it is not true. WHY would he want it to go away? It only helps him. The real questions are
WHY was it created and WHO paid for it and for WHAT purpose? that's why they want the bank records, they know who paid for it (actually moved the cash) as far as the middle man (the lawyer) They want to know whose accounts it came out of...... and whose it went into........
That's the smoking gun of Russian collusion...... WHO paid the Russians to get involved......
If it turns out to be the DNC or someone linked to the DNC? It will be a big surprise if any democrat being supported in their coming election by the DNC actually gets elected......
The citizens might just be a little perturbed by it....
That is so hilariously false that even the person who wrote it had to be laughing when he did so. The first person to fund the dossier was a long-time, big-money Republican donor:
When Trump locked up the nomination, that donor decided to stop funding the project so FusionGPS started looking for a new source of funding which is where the Clinton campaign came in and kept funding until just before election day, 2016. They never used anything from the dossier in the campaign . By that time, the FBI took over the funding of the investigation because of the accuracy of much of its content which still holds up to this day. Thanks to all the gods and goddesses that this document was kept alive as it continues to be a beacon lighting the way to the Trump crimes of the campaign. Of course, since then much more evidence of collusion and conspiracy between Russian and Trump have come to light by other paths.
The stench of desperation of this lie is overpowering. It's a sign of just how shiftlessly scared these criminals and their traitorous supporters around the country are. Or, using another light metaphor, it's a bright flashing GUILTY sign.
Guess we'll just have to wait won't we Atheist? I think we'll find the dossier was use illegally to investigate Trump's campaign, since there has been no indication any of it is true. Can you show me anywhere there is any proof of the dossier being anything other than false accusations and used to allow them to investigate Trump's campaign? You know there was a lot of unmasking don't on false premises if they don't find something in that dossier to be true and it can't be something insignificant either.
You are in for such a sadness when the boom drops on Trump. And it's starting to fall today.
You know who is not getting arrested tomorrow? Bill or Hillary Clinton.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Donald Trump will never be arrested.
as for the future?
1: Hillary gets arrested
2: Trump gets re-elected in 2020
Yea, been hearing that for the last 25 years and the cons haven't even charged her with so much as a parking ticket. Keep those hopes up though! LMAO!!!
Even fox news has trump at 38%, pretty unlikely he will be re-elected without the help of Russia...again.
Abuela... That's cute, what you think is an insult is actually a compliment. That's what Hillary's closest friends call her, it's touching that you think so highly of her. Also, polls reflect the POPULAR vote, not the electorate. And while we do not elect based on a popular vote, it's always been a good, (but obviously not perfect), indicator of who will win an election. That being said, can you name ANY president in history that won an election with a 38% approval/61% disapproval rating? You can't, because it's never happened and it never will.
polls they say? ( LOL too funny... )
how did those polls work out for ya?
and if you say " russia swung the election? you are clueless.
Well, we don't know that, but with Mueller having the knowledge of the investigation about Russian bribery to get access to US uranium and overlooking it, I would be surprised if they were the ones to be charged. And with a number of their donors working as prosecutors in this case, I doubt they will be arrested. Comey and Mueller go back a long time, so I doubt he gets in any trouble. You know you can't make this crap up. It's like being trapped in a dungeon by a bunch of evil psychopaths and no one has any idea where you are and no one is looking for you.
We can only hope somehow justice is finally rendered.
Everybody...
People at that level of politics don't get arrested unless they decide to run and have to be caught.
All that is coming out is a grand jury indictment. That is not a warrant for arrest.
yep, he is definitely going to have to do some ducking in the future, maybe even some shucking and jiving....
Irony: The left goes into epileptic seizures when it's revealed that Don Trump Jr took a meeting with a Russian who said they had opposition details on The Bitch (she didn't.), but they yawn when it's learned that The Bitch and her party PAID for opposition info on Trump.
The left has an aneurism that Don Trump Jr didn't disclose his meeting with the Russians, but they yawn when it's learned that the lawyers for the DNC PAID for the Steele document, and lied about it.
Hypocrisy.
The closing polls had Hillary winning by about two percent which is EXACTLY what she won the popular vote by. The polls were bang on.
The Hildebeast did not win the popular vote. She received more votes than Trump, but she did not win the popular vote.
You can stop spreading that false statement now.
Ironic too then, that the right screamed that the meeting was about adopting Russian children, only to find out that by Jr.'s own admission that explanation was a lie, and the right STILL has no problems with it.
It's simply astounding how that works, isn't it?
This investigation is moving so much faster than expected. It's lightning speed compared to how long the Watergate special counsel's investigation took.
