Well, well, well. "Follow the money", which now looks like it went from the DNC/Hillary Campaign, (who lird through their teeth about their involvement with it for a year), to FusionGPS to pay a foreign agent to pay the Russian government to create dirt on Pres.Trump, but also to PAY JOURNALISTS TO SPREAD THE LIES THAT THEY BOUGHT:




Fusion GPS paid journalists, court papers confirm



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.

But the recipients' names, the amounts, and purposes of those payments were either redacted from the documents that Fusion GPS filed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia or were not disclosed.



Fusion has asked the court to issue a restraining order against the House committee, which is demanding documents from the company that, among other things, explain the payments it made to reporters.

And let's not forget, this is most likely the ENTIRE BASIS for ILLEGALLY OBTAINED FISA WARRANTS, by the Obama Adm. to spy on American citizens, their POLITCAL OPPONENTS...the lights are coming on, inexorably.

By their employers, sure. That is not what this is. This a conspiracy by a political party to PAYOFF THE MEDIA to do its bidding.

A political party paying them to spread lies/dirt on an opponent. It's called "corruption" and "collusion", and against an elected POTUS, it is SEDITION.

Journalists getting paid to spread fake news (https://www.npr.org/2017/08/01/540783715/lawsuit-alleges-fox-news-and-trump-supporter-created-fake-news-story).


On May 16, the Fox News Channel broke what it called a "bombshell" story about an unsolved homicide: the July 2016 shooting of 27-year-old Democratic Party staffer Seth Rich.Unfounded conspiracy theories involving Rich abounded in the months after his death, in part because WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cryptically suggested that Rich's death may have been related to the leaks of tens of thousands of emails from Democratic Party officials and their allies at the peak of the presidential campaign.
Fox News' story, which took flight online and ran in segments across major shows, breathed fresh life into the rumors. Fox reported that the leaks came from inside the party and not from hackers linked to Russia — despite the conclusions of the nation's most senior intelligence officials. The network suggested that Democrats might have been connected to Rich's death and that a cover-up had thwarted the official investigation.

It's illegal to openly try to undermine the government of the United States via lies, collusion with foreign powers (such as the DNC paid foreign agent , who then paid the DNC's money to the Russians to create lies about Donald Trump), and then the DNC's PAID CONTRACTORS paid the media to spread the lies as legit stories, etc., is "what".... it' called "SEDITION".


And that's not even taking into account that the PAID FOR FOREIGN INTEL/LIES was used to illegally obtain FISA warrants against the DNC's political opponent....

Trump was not the President when investigators and journalists were looking into his dealings and interests. So that's hardly sedition or really any different than what the Trump campaign was doing.
