    The FBI/CIA/Everybody KNEW it was all HRC-paid bullshit,
    knew it very early on.

    Wrong. Repub billionaire Paul Singer started the Steele Dossier research:

    "The Free Beacon, funded in large part by the New York hedge fund billionaire Paul Singer, hired the firm, Fusion GPS, in 2015 to unearth damaging information about several Republican presidential candidates, including Mr. Trump. But The Free Beacon told
    the firm to stop doing research on Mr. Trump in May 2016, as Mr. Trump was clinching the Republican nomination.

    Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee had begun paying Fusion GPS in April for research that eventually became the basis for the dossier."
