‘We Paid for Info from Hillary Opposition Researcher?’ Email Implicates FBI in ‘Plot’ to Spy on Trump

While media outlets nationwide are scrambling to keep up with the most recent WikiLeaks dump, people from all sides of the issue are coming out to talk about what they know.

Information is coming out so fast, it’s nearly impossible to follow, but I don’t think that is the reason the media is completely ignoring some bombshell revelations.

Take, for instance, this simple a simple email sent from Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Ia.) to FBI Director James Comey.

This March 6th email lends us PROOF that the claims that some officials in the Obama administration were complicit in soliciting information about then-candidate Trump, are indeed accurate.
Here’s the email:

On February 28, 2017, the Washington Post reported that the FBI reached an agreement a few weeks before the Presidential election to pay the author of the unsubstantiated dossier alleging a conspiracy between President Trump and the Russians, Christopher Steele, to continue investigating Mr. Trump.

The article claimed that the FBI was aware Mr. Steele was creating these memos as part of work for an opposition research firm connected to Hillary Clinton.

The idea that the FBI and associates of the Clinton campaign would pay Mr. Steele to investigate the Republican nominee for President in the run-up to the election raises further questions about the FBI’s independence from politics, as well as the Obama administration’s use of law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political ends.

It is additionally troubling that the FBI reportedly agreed to such an arrangement given that, in January of 2017, then-Director Clapper issued a statement stating that “the IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we did not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions.”

According to the Washington Post, the FBI’s arrangement with Mr. Steele fell through when the media published his dossier and revealed his identity.

What more do they need?
