The Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign helped pay for opposition research that resulted in the salacious intelligence dossier that contained allegations about Donald Trump’s connections to Russia, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

According to the report, the firm paid to conduct the research was retained in April 2016 by Marc Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC. The firm, Fusion GPS, hired a former British spy with ties to the FBI to conduct the research. The spy Christopher Steele, eventually shared some of his findings with the FBI after the bureau began probing possible connections between Trump associates and the Russian government.

Cat's out of the bag - as Michael Goodwin wrote this morning,  the dossier was the largest and dirtiest trick of the 2016 campaign, and Hillary was behind it the whole time.   

No doubt the dossier was provided to President Obama and FBI Director Comey,  which likely explains their actions leading up to the election, including spying on members of Trump's campaign team.
