The whole Trump Russia collusion story began with a file of false information put together by Fusion GPS, a Washington firm. That file (which the media called a dossier to make it seem more official) accused Donald Trump of all sorts of misdeeds including many involving the Russians. The problem with the file was that it was so far from the truth that not even any of the pro-Hillary media would publish it. As a result, there was a ploy to get it into public view. The file was given to the FBI (apparently by a well place senator according to rumors) and the FBI then showed it to the President-elect last January. When that happened, CNN immediately jumped on the story because it could report that the FBI had given the file to Trump directly. The file was still filled with lies and misinformation. The whole Trump-Russia story went on from there.
One thing that was never clear until now, however, was the identity of the person or organization that hired Fusion GPS to put this smear job together. As recently as last week, the personnel from Fusion refused to answer Congressional questions on the identity of their employer; they used their fifth amendment defense against self incrimination as a basis for that refusal. Well now we have learned the identity of who it was that hired Fusion. It was the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democrat National Committee. That news is in today's Washington Post (and it must kill the Post's editors to have to reveal this dirty trick by the Democrats and Clinton.) Not only did the Democrats pay for the file, however, but they also lied to their friends in the media about doing so. That part of the story is reported by the New York Times (and it must kill them to do that too.)
Combine this revelation with the news that Robert Mueller is investigating Uranium One and the massive amount of cash that went to the Clintons and their foundation from Russia while Hillary's state department was considering approval of the sale of a big chunk of US uranium production, and you have a really bad moment for the Democrats. Throw in the fact that the FBI investigated the Clinton Russia connection in connection with Uranium One and the fact that Obama attorney general squelched that investigation, and it's even a worse moment for the Dems.
Of course, the most of the media is focused on the retirement announcement of senator Flake, but this story will still get out there. Just imagine if Mueller indicts Clinton or some of her staff.
