Two Fusion GPS cracker jacks have penned a curious editorial for The New York Times to try and repair their business image (honestly, who would hire these guys? Clients aren't keen on hiring firms at the center of a federal criminal investigations) and to re-calibrate the RUSSIA collusion investigation yarn, which is in tatters.
No matter what spin these dervishes are spitting out in the Times, here's what you need to know: Fusion GPS, paid by a cut out for the Clinton campaign and the DNC, hired a former British spook to get dirt on President Trump. The Ex-spook got his information from RUSSIAN government operators and then the Trump hating spooksuits at the FBI and DOJ used this RUSSIAN propaganda to trick the FISA court into permission to spy on the Trump campaign. It's that simple.
The garbage editorial tries to make the case that there are mountains of evidence of Trump's relationship with the RUSSIANS and how their garbage dossier merely corroborated "credible allegations" of a Trump-RUSSIA partnership to win the election for Trump. BUT WHERE IS THE EVIDENCE? Such evidence is only ominously hinted at in the op-ed but never provided and based on the information leaked by Trump-foes like Rep. Adam Schiff and former director of national intelligence James Clapper, there was no "collusion" or partnership. And even holier-that-thou former FBI director Comey has admitted the details in the dossier remain “salacious and unverified.”
But the Times set up this partisan stinkbomb op-ed with a sad attempt at narrative shift the day before. The narrative is that obscure Trump team advisor George Papadopoulos, not Carter Page as the media has been barking for over a year, was the impetus for the RUSSIA collusion investigation.
