Trump Fake News claim turns out to not be fake.

 

As it turns out, the opposition research firm that produced the incendiary but as yet unsubstantiated Trump-Russia dossier was retained to produce it by a lawyer representing Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee, accordingly to a source familiar with matters.

The dossier produced quite a furor when it was apparently leaked a year ago given its various claims that now President Donald Trump has a number of problematic relationships with Russian interests as well as had engaged in sordid liaisons with young Russian females. 

 

To date, however, none of the accusations have yet been shown to even merely but perhaps reach points that might possibly approach no doubt.

This bombshell came to light as the House Judiciary Committee sought to subpoena the bank records of the opposition research firm which – in turn – commissioned the production of the dossier by a former British intelligence operative.

 

Initial reports indicate that the lawyer representing Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee was paid upwards of $5.6 million in legal fees from June 2015 to December 2016 for his campaign-related services.

 

It is unclear at this point, however, how much of the $5.6 million was spent to conduct the opposition research. 

 

Enough already!!!

A person said to be familiar with the matter told the Washington Post that neither the Democratic National Committee nor the Clinton campaign knew that the opposition research firm had been retained by an attorney representing Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee.

 

At the same time, however, a Clinton campaign spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Granted, while undertaking opposition research against one’s political opponents is a long ongoing political practice, it is essential to either uncover undeniable damning facts or not leave any fingerprints behind if any opposition research is false. 

 

In any event, as well as for related news, Twitter announced that its will be quintupling its tweet capacity as soon as possible.
