Midknight Review -- new and revised: Guess where the crook, Hillary Clinton, got the idea to use Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier? From Obama and his 2012 campaign against Romney.

Guess where the crook, Hillary Clinton, got the idea to use Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier? From Obama and his 2012 campaign against Romney.

President Barack Obama's 2012 campaign hired Fusion GPS to find negative information on Republican candidate Mitt Romney and hid the payments through its law firm, according to a new book published Tuesday.

"In 2012, Fusion GPS was hired to do opposition research on Mitt Romney for Barack Obama's re-election campaign," according to "Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin's War on America and Donald Trump’s Election," by Michael Isikoff and David Corn.

According to the Isikoff/Corn investigation, the Obama campaign hid the Fusion GPS payments through the Washington law firm Perkins Coie.

The authors, The Daily Caller reports, met with Christopher Steele, the former British spy who completed the unsubstantiated dossier on Republican Donald Trump, and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson during the 2016 campaign.

"As had become standard practice in the shadowy world of 'oppo' research, the Obama campaign's payments to Fusion GPS were never publicly disclosed," the book reads.

"The money paid to the investigative firm was reported on campaign disclosure reports as legal bills to the campaign's law firm, Perkins Coie." In doing so, the financial arrangement for Barack's opposition research platform remained undisclosed.

The arrangement with Fusion GPS was similar to what Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee used for the Trump dossier in 2016, The Daily Caller reports.

According to the book, Obama for America paid Perkins Coie about $3 million during the 2012 cycle, according federal filings.

SO what? Who cares who paid for the report? What is important is the extent to which US Intel has corroborated the research, which by al indications, it most certainly has, far more than the public knows.

Let's return the favor, shall we?

CLINTON: You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about. That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing that the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength. And you heard how the Republican members led by Mitch McConnell, the president really demeaned the confirmation process.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
