CONFIRMED: Fusion GPS Has Deep Ties To Russia

By MindFlayer

It was already pretty clear Fusion GPS had previously done work for Russian-linked businesses. Not only is that fact now confirmed, but we also have learned that Fusion GPS was working for Kremlin-linked individuals while they were being paid by the DNC and the Clinton campaign to put together the phony dossier on then-candidate Trump.

To summarize the latest Fox News report:

• Fusion GPS was paid by a law firm for work on behalf of a Kremlin-linked oligarch while paying a former British spy Christopher Steele to dig up dirt on Trump through his Russian contacts.
• Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of Fusion GPS, worked with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya during the 2016 election =96 =93Simpson and Fusion GPS were hired by BakerHostetler, which represented Russian firm Prevezon through Veselnitskaya.
• Fusion GPS =93simultaneous financial ties to the DNC, Clinton campaign and Russian interests "raise[s] new questions about the company's role in the 2016 election".
• Fusion's Simpson is believed to have been working with Veselnitskaya and Rinat Akhmetshin, a former Soviet counter-intelligence officer turned Russian-American lobbyist, to overturn=94 American sanctions against Russia.
