Since April of 2016, Obama’s campaign organization has paid almost a million dollars to a law firm that in turn funneled money to Fusion GPS. And it could be a lot more for all we know. These are the guys who compiled the Steele dossier against President Trump. Obama For America (OFA) has shelled out $972,000 to Perkins Coie according to the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The Washington Post broke the story in late 2017. The fact that Obama secretly paid that much money to firms to dig up dirt on Trump so he would not win the election is stunning. The fact that they concocted false allegations is even worse. And Obama has not had to answer for it yet. The reason behind all this was to assure that Hillary Clinton was elected and that the threat of Trump was eliminated. Obama’s law firm was directed by both the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s campaign to retain Fusion GPS in April 2016. It only seems to get worse from that point forward.
Fusion GPS hired Christopher Steele, a former British spy, to compile the dossier proving once and for all that Trump and his campaign had colluded with the Russians. The made-up allegations included prostitutes in Russia and Golden Showers encounters. Anyone who knows President Trump knows that he is averse to germs, so that salacious claim is just ridiculous. None of it was proven because none of it is true.
The collusion here was between Obama, Hillary Clinton and the DNC and what they did was illegal in the extreme despite what the talking heads say. Lawyers for Steele admitted in court filings that his work was not verified and was never meant to be made public. That’s not exactly true though, Steel meant for it to go public and John McCain hand-delivered the dossier to the FBI himself.
Obama spent nearly $800,000 in 2016 alone on the law firm to go after Trump. The first 2016 payments to Perkins Coie, classified only as “Legal Services,” were made April 25-26, 2016, and totaled $98,047. Then there was a second wave of payments that were also classified as “Legal Services” and were disbursed to the law firm on September 29, 2016. They totaled exactly $700,000. Payments from OFA through August of 2017 totaled $174,725. Perkins Coie was being paid a ton of money to sabotage a political opponent in Obama’s version of America.
According to The Federalist:
“FEC records as well as federal court records show that Marc Elias, the Perkins Coie lawyer whom the Washington Post reported was responsible for the payments to Fusion GPS on behalf of Clinton’s campaign and the DNC, also previously served as a counsel for OFA. In Shamblin v. Obama for America, a 2013 case in federal court in Florida, federal court records list Elias as simultaneously serving as lead attorney for both OFA and the DNC.
“OFA, which managed Obama’s successful re-election campaign in 2012, retooled after that campaign to focus on enacting the president’s agenda during his final term in office. The group reorganized again after the 2016 election and planned to use its staff and resources to oppose President Donald Trump. During the entire 2016 campaign cycle, the group spent only $4.5 million, according to FEC records.
“Federal records show that Hillary Clinton’s official campaign organization, Hillary For America, paid just under $5.1 million to Perkins Coie in 2016. The DNC paid nearly $5.4 million to the law firm in 2016.
“The timing and nature of the payments to Perkins Coie by Obama’s official campaign arm raise significant questions about whether OFA was funding Fusion GPS, how much Obama and his team knew about the contents and provenance of the dossier long before its contents were made public, and whether the president or his government lieutenants knowingly used a partisan political document to justify official government actions targeting the president’s political opponents named in the dossier. According to the Washington Post, Fusion GPS was first retained by Perkins Coie on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in April of 2016.”
