President Trump must appoint a special prosecutor. This was a stealth coup. These people are just dirty, they are filthy. Not only did they go to Fusion GPS for dirt on Trump in 2016, but they went to them for dirt on Romney in 2012. The corrupt and criminal Democrats never thought they’d lose either election, not for one second — hence their reckless, feckless criminality.
If she had been elected in 2016, Hillary would never have prosecuted these crimes; after all, they were designed to put her in power. On the contrary, she would have rewarded them. But now it is all coming out, and the American people deserve to know the whole truth about the treasonous corruption of the Democrat Party.
“REVEALED: Obama Campaign Hired Fusion GPS To Investigate Romney,” by Chuck Ross, Daily Caller, March 13, 2018 (thanks to Van):
The Barack Obama presidential campaign hired Fusion GPS in 2012 to dig up dirt on Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to a book released on Tuesday.
The Obama campaign hid its payments to Fusion GPS through its law firm, Perkins Coie. The arrangement is similar to the one that the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee used to pay Fusion for its investigation of then-candidate Donald Trump in 2016.
Dossier ‘coincidences’ pile up
“In 2012, Fusion GPS was hired to do opposition research on Mitt Romney for Barack Obama’s reelection campaign,” reads “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and Donald Trump’s Election.”
The book is written by Michael Isikoff and David Corn, two veteran reporters who met during the 2016 campaign with Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson.
“As had become standard practice in the shadowy world of ‘oppo’ research, the Obama campaign’s payments to Fusion GPS were never publicly disclosed; the money paid to the investigative firm was reported on campaign disclosure reports as legal bills to the campaign’s law firm, Perkins Coie,” the book reads.
The Obama for America committee paid Perkins Coie around $3 million during the 2012 election cycle, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission, A vast majority of the payments were earmarked for “Legal Services.”
It is not clear how the law firm paid Fusion GPS for its research on Romney, a former Massachusetts governor.
Perkins Coie received more than $12 million from the Clinton campaign and DNC during the 2016 election cycle. Fusion GPS was paid just over $1 million for its research on Trump. The oppo firm paid Steele just under $178,000 for his work on the dossier.

Having trouble understanding Antifa?
There scandals come out whenever there is a slow news day, really, if a space filler is needed, find cartoons or used car ads. This “scandal of the day” is overworked, nothing will ever be done about them anyway.
If you are a member of the Democrat Party, you an UNTOUCHABLE! If you are Republican, FBI or CIA, you are TOUCHABLE and had better pucker up and kiss the Democrats asses!
Typical Kenyan politician found Dems as the Right party to takeover America !
would it shock you to know Turkey has been involved in organ harvesting of captured non-muslims, shia and even children are not spared
Left/liberal support jihadis and do the same like in Turkey here in America https://tinyurl.com/mfpzzl8
Can it get more disgusting ?
Obama used the DEMS and left them bankrupt. The DNC had no money for Hillary. Obama even has disdain for the DEMS.
Agreed. It sounds like “the morning after”, no?
Who gives a Rats Arse? About Obama and the Democrats or Hillary and the Democrats? If you do, then you worry about the low life SOB’s!

What’s wrong with opposition research? Now perhaps having your law firm pay for it violates some law, but Pamela’s case is not convincing.
You don’t have a problem with this????
This goes beyond mere creepy political collusion, or dirty campaign capers. It suggests a broader Democratic scheme to use government resources to hamstring opposition political campaigns and, now, to destroy a presidency.
And this conspiracy spans two presidential campaign cycles and two separate opposition presidential candidates, using remarkably similar tactics and even the same law firm and research operation. With a number of government officials knowingly involved, this, in short, reeks of conspiracy to subvert the election process.

Pamela didn’t mention government funds, that I saw. You gotta do more than “suggest”.
So I don’t know there is anything illegal, but it does sound a bit questionable about having the law firm making the payment. Nor do I see where Pamela made the claim that there were Hatch Act violations. I suspect it is not illegal, or Trump’s DOJ/FBI would have investigated. I admit it sounds sleazy, but I expect that out of politics.
Pamela simply failed to make a plausible case for criminal activity, even though she claimed it occurred. Far more concerning is this, and if this is legal, we need to look at changing the law (from your investors article):
not only did Fusion do opposition research, something every campaign does, it also did aggressively hostile opposition donor research.
“In 2012, then-President Obama had an ‘enemies list’ on his campaign website with the names of Mitt Romney’s biggest donors,” noted PJ Media’s Debra Heine.
That enemies list was placed on the Obama campaign’s Orwellian “Truth Team” web site. The site called them a “group of wealthy individuals with less-than-reputable records. Quite a few have been on the wrong side of the law, others have made profits at the expense of so many Americans…”
That kind of vilification of decent, law-abiding, successful Americans is bad enough. But to drive home the intimidation, each of the names on the list was subsequently tweeted out from the @TruthTeam2012 twitter feed, along with their supposed misdeeds, most of which really amounted merely to tough or unpopular business decisions they had to make. …
This does speak to me of a dreadful abuse of power, one that threatens the foundations of our democracy. If there is any way to prosecute for what was done, go for it. If not, have a serious look at changing the law. Democrats tried similar thuggery in Wisconsin, and got slapped down by the courts, although I don’t recall anyone being prosecuted.
Republicans generally have a shred of integrity. Democrats have none.
Did you get the license number of that truck that just ran over your ass?

A typical moronic response from a goon. Gad you goons are idiots.
Why demand perfection from others when you will settle for so much less in yourself?
Drew, are you and Liatris the same person, I wonder?
For your information, it is a gross violation of campaign finance and disclosure laws. Hiring the Perkins-Coie law firm to launder the payments to Fusion GPS for inaccurate opposition research by a foreign entity is also unlawful. Sober up.
it is a gross violation of campaign finance and disclosure laws.
Oh, well if a guttersnipe goon like yourself says it, with nary a scintilla of documentation to support your claim, it must be true. I don’t recall Pamela making that claim. Those guys are good at exploiting legal “loopholes”.
You are a vacuous pest, goon.
Who needs documentation when it is common knowledge, unless you have your head where the sun don’t shine. Is it dark where you are?
Yearning for justice…..
Will never happen. So forget about it.

Does this have something to do with Fusion payments, or are you just spamming?
Oh, wow … let me feign surprise … tell me it isn’t so …

Russia Scandal:
Did Obama Tutor Hillary Clinton In Electoral Conspiracy 101?
…
See if this sounds familiar: Democratic presidential campaign pays international law firm Perkins Coie, which then turns around and pays left-wing opposition research firm Fusion GPS to dig up dirt on the campaign’s political opponent.
Sounds just like what Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee did in 2016, right?
…
Obama did it first in 2012. Using his Obama for America campaign front, Obama paid Perkins Coie close to a million dollars, which was reportedly used to pay — who else — Fusion GPS to find salacious stuff about Obama’s foe in the 2012 election, the ultra-square Mitt Romney.

Obama is a sock puppet that can read a teleprompter, so is Hillary. He didn’t/couldn’t teach her anything. The puppet masters are the ones playing the dirty games from the shadows. Congress could expose them if they weren’t sock puppets playing DC Kabuki theater themselves…
And where is the Mueller pack of partisan bloodhounds, poking around Qatar or some such foreign extremity while up to their ears in Democrat filth?
Name one, just one, positive accomplishment of the Obhammud administration. These guys are making Watergate look like an adolescent prank.
Fusion GPS, the best lies money can buy.
Slightly off topic but a HOT issue….
Are folks aware of RYAN FUNDING LAMB?
UniParty At Work – Paul Ryan SuperPac Campaigned to Elect Democrat Conor Lamb…
Posted on March 15, 2018 by sundance
Now, a stunning discovery surfaces of Paul Ryan’s Congressional Leadership SuperPAC, congressionalleadershipfund.org, actually campaigning for the Democrat, Conor Lamb, in the recent PA18 congressional race.
As evidenced by Big League Politics the Paul Ryan SuperPAC sent a mailer to Pennsylvania CD-18 voters touting Lamb’s favorable position on gun ownership rights:
His wife is a big wig democrat, surprise surprise!
Yet again the un-American cancer that is hussein obama & his rats are knee deep in it.
It’s not just the DEMS, it is the GOPe too. What did the GOPe do to stop Obama? Nothing! DACA and DAPA are clearly unConstitutional and did anyone object to it?
Where is the support for Trump from the GOP?
The establishment doesn’t want Trump. They would have preferred Hillary. Their actions continue to buck Trump. Explain to me why NO ONE in the swamp is opposing Mueller unfettered investigation of Trump and the Russians? They could unite, vote and stop it and they don’t. It’s a distraction and harming our country.
Anyone who is shocked that this guy would be as lawless as he is, and was, raise your hand.
There it is folks…Ozero giving the finger, to America. Only thing missing in this photo is Farrakan…
Democrats Lie, Cheat and Steal. The Republicans, will swear that the Democrats are never wrong!
Just like the lead in picture of this article showing Fairy Barry arrogantly sublimely flipping the camera off it shows his utter disdain for the United States of America. Throw him in jail where he belongs and show America that if you cannot do the time then do not do the crime. What a better example than by starting at the the top while draining the swamp.
