The Most Transparent Administration in History

| No Comments

That is what President Obama promised America on his first day in office. Things rapidly went downhill from that moment - things that are just now coming to light. From The Federalist:

Obama’s Campaign Paid $972,000 To Law Firm That Secretly Paid Fusion GPS In 2016
Former president Barack Obama’s official campaign organization has directed nearly a million dollars to the same law firm that funneled money to Fusion GPS, the firm behind the infamous Steele dossier. Since April of 2016, Obama For America (OFA) has paid over $972,000 to Perkins Coie, records filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show.

The Washington Post reported last week that Perkins Coie, an international law firm, was directed by both the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to retain Fusion GPS in April of 2016 to dig up dirt on then-candidate Donald Trump. Fusion GPS then hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy, to compile a dossier of allegations that Trump and his campaign actively colluded with the Russian government during the 2016 election. Though many of the claims in the dossier have been directly refuted, none of the dossier’s allegations of collusion have been independently verified. Lawyers for Steele admitted in court filings last April that his work was not verified and was never meant to be made public.

I would love to see the people behind Perkins Coie and Fusion GPS as they were getting money from all the Democrats - from Forbes Magazine - January 15 (during the government shut-down):

Allegations That Clinton Campaign Funded Trump-Russia Research Still Pending At Now-Closed FEC
A complaint that alleges Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee violated campaign finance law by steering money for opposition research through a law firm is still pending with the Federal Election Commission.

The FEC, which is not operating during the government shutdown, has yet to rule on the complaint made by Campaign Legal Center (CLC) that both organizations funneled the cash to Fusion GPS, the group behind a dossier compiled by Christopher Steele – the so-called "Steele dossier."

Steele is a former British security service operative who authored the report that included claims about President Trump's alleged links with Russia and allegations that the Kremlin may have incriminating evidence about the president's activities in Moscow.

Slowly but surely, these illegalities are coming to light. Wheels of justice and all that...
