Byron York, Washington Examiner: After Trump dossier revelation, FBI is next
Investigators looking into the so-called "Trump dossier" were not surprised when news broke Tuesday night that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC, working through the Democrats' law firm, Perkins Coie, financed the "salacious and unverified" compilation of allegations of Trump collusion with Russia in the 2016 presidential campaign.

WNU Editor: This story and speculation around it has been around for a long time. But if the FBI used this dossier to get court ordered wiretaps/surveillance/etc. .... this puts the entire FBI and the Justice Department under suspicion that they used a political party's opposition research to pursue an investigation. I can see the uproar happening right now if this is true. On a side note, the company that funded the Russian Dossier on President Trump is still fighting demands from Congress for its bank records .... so while we now know who funded the dossier, we do not know who GPS Fusion paid (beside Christopher Steele who researched the dossier). Why is this important? The conservative website Daily Caller noticed this little tidbit of information ....
.... Fusion’s lawyers say that the House committee seeks records of its bank transactions with 10 law firms, as well as with unnamed media companies and journalists
On what did Fusion GPS needed done to pay-off journalists and media companies? This story may just be beginning.
Update: News like this does not help the FBI .... Judicial Watch: New Documents Show FBI Deputy Director McCabe Did Not Recuse Himself from the Clinton Email Scandal Investigation until Week Before Presidential Election (Judicial Watch).

If this and if that, etc.
the question is not who finananced but is that material valid. Citing an early statement, we learn in this post that it has not been vetted. However since that statement some of that material has been vetted and is accurate. We wait then for further details as the anti Mueller folks try to derail the ongoing work.
and now there is THIS
