RNC paid intel firm for Clinton dirt

[JohnnyApplesack]

drip drip drip.........this thing's turning into a fire hose....

As the general election was taking shape last summer, the Republican National Committee initiated a series of payments to a low-profile firm started by retired CIA officers that worked closely with an ex-Russian spy.

The payments attracted attention in political and intelligence circles, largely because the Virginia-based firm, Hamilton Trading Group, had particular expertise in Russia, which was emerging as a major campaign issue at the time.


RNC officials and the president and co-founder of Hamilton Trading Group, an ex-CIA officer named Ben Wickham, insisted the payments, which eventually totaled $41,500, had nothing to do with Russia.

Instead, they initially claimed the payments were entirely for an assessment by Hamilton Trading Group of building security concerns at the RNC’s Capitol Hill headquarters.

But RNC officials now acknowledge that most of the cash — $34,100 — went toward intelligence-style reports that sought to prove conflicts of interest between Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state and her family’s foundation.

The firm produced two dossiers that tried to make the case that Clinton intervened in Bulgaria and Israel, respectively, on behalf of energy companies that had donated to the Clinton Foundation, according to people briefed on the reports.

Every campaign investigates for dirt on all opponents.

You do understand that this sort of thing is SOP, right? It's been going on since the beginning of politics. It's called "Opposition Research."


In the 1st century B.C., Cicero gathered information that was damaging to opponents and used it in attacks against them.

That's funny, your OP mentions Russia in conspiratorial, passing tones and the article you linked mentioned Russians only to say...

"RNC officials and the president and co-founder of Hamilton Trading Group, an ex-CIA officer named Ben Wickham, insisted the payments, which eventually totaled $41,500, had nothing to do with Russia."

You have absolutely nothing.

Still waiting for the proof that A) it was illegal or B) it was somehow wrong even though legal.

So? that's called "opposition research." The Dims are masters at it. Hillary spent millions to dig up all the dirt on Trump that she could find.
