From The Federalist -

"Former president Barack Obama’s official campaign organization has directed nearly a million dollars to the same law firm that funneled money to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the infamous Steele dossier. Since April of 2016, Obama For America (OFA) has paid over $972,000 to Perkins Coie, records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show"

Obama Campaign Paid $972,000 To Law Firm That Paid Fusion GPS

What a corrupt nightmare the Obama administration was. There's an excellent chance Obama’s campaign organization (OFA) paid Perkins Coie to funnel money to Fusion GPS to create the dossier that the Obama administration then used to justify secret surveillance of the Trump administration.

Question: If the surveillance was based on nothing else but the dossier then does it mean to You that anything discovered is illegal and as such to be ignored, no matter what?

Yeah but Mueller is about to have someone arrested from his months long probe and then it won't be long before Trump is impeached and America can rejoice when Hillary is granted the mantle of supreme leader of the USA....

Obama did what? Who cares that is old news, ancient history that no one needs to hear about. Heil Hillary!


I'm joking...

NO!, and that's a dang good question.

If something illegal is discovered it should be made public - and I think it will be made public. No one will be able to prosecute, of course, but no one should be afraid to see the king in his underwear.

On the other hand, cries of "coverup" should be backed up with something other than, "I just really believe".... and "Everyone knows"...

There's a very small circle in DC. The same names, entities keep showing up.
The "inner circle" as some would say.

That same law firm is representing Podesta, GPS Fusion and the lawyer representing them was also on Hillary's campaign team advising her.

Lol. "An excellent chance"? There is also an "excellence chance" that millions in Russian criminal oligarch money flowed into the Trump coffers through his real estate and businesses and could be viewed as "money laundering." There is an "excellent chance" that someone connected to the Trump campaign will be indicted tomorrow. There is an "excellent chance" Trump will go off the deep end as he becomes more senile.

There has been no named "Obama for America" organization since 2013.

It became 'Organization for America,' and it was not directly connected to the Obama campaign after 2012.

The "Obama Campaign paid" is an outright lie. Organization for America is a non-profit grass-roots organization like the Tea Party that worked for progressive policies mostly through volunteers. It is not "the Obama campaign."

That's a legal issue I'm not qualified to answer. But there is a term called fruit of the poisonous vine that covers this. But let me point this out...because of this fake dossier, ex-CIA Director John Brennan briefed 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.

All this madness because of a fake dossier paid for by Obama, Clinton and the DNC. You Democrats have very dirty hands.

Hard to figure out why Trumpers are so upset about who paid for opposition research.

What difference would it make who paid?
