A quick recap: Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign hired Perkins Coie (sending it close to $10 million), using it as a cutout in violation of federal election law to pay “intelligence” firm Fusion GPS to generate and publicize false allegations against her rival Trump. 

Fusion subcontracted out the work of assembling that “dossier,” including insane claims that Trump was a Russian asset, to British ex-spy Christopher Steele and a “researcher” who literally made everything up while gossiping with friends.

Trump-haters in the American intel community and Justice Department then used this garbage to justify probes of Trump, with allegations fed anonymously to our disinformation-loving leftist media, who duly trumpeted it to create a Trump-crippling Washington frenzy.
