This may be why Nunez calls it the “Mueller Dossier”...he used paid contractors.

He used paid contractors to write the Mueller report and one of those paid contractors is likely Fusion GPS.
Thus the "Muller Dossier".
You need to listen to Nunez carefully. He says things deliberately.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent more than $732,000 on outside contractors, including private investigators and researchers, records show, but his office refuses to say who they were. While it’s not unusual for special government offices to outsource for services such as computer support, Mueller also hired contractors to compile “investigative reports” and other “information."
The arrangement has led congressional investigators, government watchdog groups and others to speculate that the private investigators and researchers who worked for the special counsel’s office might have included Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS, the private research firm that hired Steele to produce the Russia collusion dossier for the Clinton campaign.
They suspect the dossier creators may have been involved in Mueller’s operation – and even had a hand in his final report – because the special counsel sent his team to London to meet with Steele within a few months of taking over the Russia collusion investigation in 2017. Also, Mueller’s lead prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, had shared information he received from Fusion with the media.
Raising additional suspicions, Mueller’s report recycles the general allegations leveled in the dossier. And taking a page from earlier surveillance-warrant applications in the Russia investigation, it cites as supporting evidence several articles – including one by Yahoo! News – that used Steele and Fusion as sources.
Mueller even kept alive one of the dossier’s most obscene accusations – that Moscow had "compromising tapes" of Trump with Russian hookers – by slipping into a footnote an October 2016 text Trump lawyer Michael Cohen received from a "Russian businessman," who cryptically intimated, “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia.” Lawyers for the businessman, Giorgi Rtskhiladze (who is actually a Georgian-American), are demanding a retraction of the footnote, arguing Mueller omitted the part of his text where he said he did not believe the rumor about the tapes, for which no evidence has ever surfaced.
Mueller’s reliance on the Steele dossier is raising questions because it occurred long after FBI Director James B. Comey described the dossier as “salacious and unverified.”
U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said the report should be renamed “The Mueller Dossier,” because he says it contains a lot of similar innuendo. Even though Mueller failed to corroborate key allegations leveled in the dossier, Nunes said his report twists key facts to put a collusion gloss on events. He also asserted that it selectively quotes from Trump campaign emails and omits exculpatory information in ways that cast the campaign’s activities in the most sinister light.

And yet no one in the media cares. A free press doesn't exist when said press willfully ignore and self-censor news that doesn't jive with their worldview.

How are the names of contractors used to compile/write a report privileged or classified information that Mueller can't divulge?

The Mueller report is only good to be used as azz wipes if you are in Aubarn and can't find any toilet paper.

Wow! This would take a lot of nerve.

The problem is, big media who have all the resources are captured by federal government agencies. Generally it's NYT is captured by the FBI, WaPo captured by the CIA, and CNN captured by the State Department and ODNI. And what I mean by captured is these agencies provide "sources" for these large MSM outlets to provide favorable stories. It's a quid pro quo. We don't have independent journalism. Journalism is for sale and the currency the federal government uses is inside information.

Dems, who currently want to toss Barr in prison for not illegally releasing 100% of Mueller's underlying material would surely support releasing the names of these contractors right? Right?

I really don't know the mechanics behind this but I would guess that these contractors have special clearances just like all federal government contractors that handle top secret information.

So Mueller hired people to work on his staff that started this whole mess in the first place?

That's what it looks like.

Remember Peter Strzok was on his team for awhile along with his lady friend.

Unhinged: We must have transparency and the full unredacted Mueller report should be available for everyone.
Rational: Can we also see who you hired to write that thing?
Mueller: Frick you!

So Honest Bob must not be familiar with the term "conflict of interest."

You think Reality Winner was one of those "contractors"?

On this note do you see how the House Dems are using the laws against releasing grand jury testimony and other laws against releasing DOJ/FBI investigative files against Bill Barr? Charge him with contempt for not releasing information that Bill Barr is required to keep under lock and key under the law. But if he releases the information Bill Barr breaks the law and likely gets impeached for it. It's so fricked up.

Hell he used 17 angry Democrats that once served under Obama to run his shite show for two years. I think the last thing Mueller is worried about is conflict of interest.

How is it that any person with any ownership interest in Fusion GPS (whatever the hell that do), not forced into bankruptcy fighting a losing battle to avoid as much jail time as CPL is facing?
