I see a lot of people - even conservatives - repeating the canard that the Steele dossier was initially funded by Republicans.
This is untrue.
Fusion GPS was originally hired to do oppo research by the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website funded by a Republican.
However, the dossier had nothing to do with them. These backers had bowed out before Steele complied his infamous dossier.
The Steele dossier was completely financed by the DNC and Crooked Hillary.
The Free Beacon says, “All of the work that Fusion GPS provided to The Free Beacon was based on public sources, and none of the work product that The Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier. The Free Beacon had no knowledge of or connection to the Steele dossier, did not pay for the dossier, and never had contact with, knowledge of, or provided payment for any work performed by Christopher Steele.”

and it doesn't matter anyway. Liberals, believing in identity politics and sucking the almighty dick of labels, think we actually give a shit if say... a rino is on record for saying everything is above board. It was made abundantly clear last election that trump was running against both the democrats and PLENTY of republicans. At least when it came to the establishment. For a liberal to trot out "DURRRRR A REPUBLICAN SAID X Y Z DURRRRR" is the most moronic fucking thing in existence. It's political thinking reserved for like the 1990s.
