The Douche Bag set up MULTIPLE holding companies & LLCs, and also used subcontractors to try to keep The Fusion GPS name out of the spotlight, and possibly was laundering DNC & Clinton money through them for work on the Fusion GPS Dossier, which is actually illegal.
And he also used his holding companies to Promote and Get Published AntI-Trump Propaganda. Now why would a LOWLY RESEARCH FIRM choose sides in a political contest and allow itself to be used to FUNNEL FAKE NEWS TO THE MEDIA?
Certainly they would not do this on their own, but they would if THEY WERE PAID TO DO IT.
