Newly filed court documents confirm that Fusion GPS, the company mostly responsible for the controversial “Trump dossier” on presidential candidate Donald Trump, made payments to three journalists between June 2016 until February 2017.
The revelation could be a breakthrough for House Republicans, who are exploring whether Fusion GPS used the dossier, which was later criticized for having inaccurate information on Trump, to feed anti-Trump stories to the press during and after the presidential campaign. The three journalists who were paid by Fusion GPS are known to have reported on "Russia issues relevant to [the committee's] investigation," the House Intelligence Committee said in a court filing.

“Additionally, the Committee seeks transactions related to three individual journalists, [names redacted], each of whom have reported on and/or been quoted in articles regarding topics related to the Committee's investigation, some of which were published as recently as October 2017," the committee wrote.
Additionally, a filing by lawyers for the House Intelligence Committee asserts that Fusion GPS “brokered meetings for dossier author Christopher Steele with at least five major media outlets in September 2016, including Yahoo news.”
The meeting by Yahoo resulted in one of the first media reports based on the dossier, which specifically mentioned Trump adviser Carter Page. After seeing the latest court filings, Page heaped praise on the committee.
"While many politicians and bureaucrats in the U.S. Congress remain distracted by irrelevant sideshows such as the minuscule amounts of money spent on Facebook ads that no one paid attention to last year or how various perverted members might have once amused themselves, the determined leaders and hard working staff with the House Intelligence Committee have once again remained on the tip of the spear as they drive toward essential answers regarding the real government interference in the 2016 election," Page said in an email to the Washington Examiner.

This investigation seems like it's just one giant cast net to let the FBI check off everything on their investigation wish list.

But where are the indictments, arrests, anything???? All they do is investigate, know there is corruption and criminal activity but fail to get DOJ or whoever to do anything about it.
On the surface and with all the info we are being told, it seems like a really big deal but Sessions does not even want to pursue it.
What about the Wasserman Schultz and her IT guy, what ever happened to all that. She is still sitting in her congressional seat probably still exposing confidential info to who knows.

The hypocrisy of this situation is that the progressives claim the moral high ground while applauding Google's "deranking" of RT and other propaganda news agencies while supporting the MSM as arbiters of truth.

The JFK documents just released showed, with only 3 major networks and a handful of major newspapers, the CIA had embedded at least 60 covert operatives in the national media.
The CIA is not going to be charged with crimes even though they have been operating on US soil, against US Citizens, in violation of their charter and laws for 50+ years.
The CIA is embedded throughout the govt and media thoroughly.

So the question is...
Why would Fusion GPS...a supposedly "legitimate research firm"... be paying journalist.
if you do research for a client such as the DNC, they pay you to do research, and then you provide it to them. That's it.
Like for some liberal or supporter of the DNC to explain how GPS fusion secretly paying journalists is good business practice for a "research firm".

I don’t care what it calls itself. It’s an idiot either way.

Sarah Huckabee should ask them at the next briefing. Who got paid or who knows who it was? I guarantee there are those in that room that were involved or know who was
