12. Are you for real? The Dems NEVER worked with or paid any Russian entity.

Nov 2017

Christopher Steele, a BRITISH citizen and retired BRITISH secret agent, was hired by a REPUBLICAN candidate to do OPPO RESEARCH on Donald Trump. He found plenty.

The REPUBLICAN who hired him dropped out of the race. At some point Steele, very concerned with what he had uncovered, gave or offered his files to the FBI, which freaking ignored it.

The campaign progressed. Apparently Steele, a BRITISH citizen, offered his information to the Clinton campaign and/or DNC. They gave him under $200,000 for it -- not $12 million.

THIS WAS OPPO RESEARCH. NOBODY ON OUR SIDE COLLUDED WITH THE FUCKING RUSSIANS.
