Anti-Trump Dossier Original Funder Paul Singer

Anti-Trump Dossier Original Funder Paul Singer an Open Borders Establishment Republican Billionaire
$1:
GOP establishment billionaire Paul Singer, the top funder of the Washington Free Beacon, has a long history of support for the GOP establishment over economic nationalists and conservatives–including backing open borders, pro-amnesty efforts.
Late Friday, Singer’s Washington Free Beacon came clean as the original funding source for Fusion GPS’s research against now-President Donald Trump. Fusion GPS research was later funded by Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign, and created the now-infamous fake news dossier against Trump, but the efforts originally lay with Singer.
Multiple outlets reported Friday night that lawyers for the Free Beacon had just informed the House Intelligence Committee that their outfit was the first to engage Fusion GPS to conduct opposition research against then-candidate Trump. The neoconservative media outlet emphasized in a statement that this engagement involved all of the GOP candidates for president – not merely Trump – and never involved Russia or dubious former intelligence asset Christopher Steele, before the project was dropped and taken over by Hillary for American and the Democratic National Committee in the Spring of 2016 through potentially illegal payments made through law firm Perkins Coie.
When news of the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign’s involvement in the dossier, a primary source of the “Russia Story” dogging the first ten months of Trump administration, first broke, the Washington Post reported “one Republican” had been involved. That Republican is now clearly Singer, the Free Beacon’s main funder.
Singer’s involvement in the dossier, and opposition research on Trump more generally, comports with a years-long pattern of advocacy for mass immigration, massive funding of establishment GOP candidates, and antagonism towards the populist-nationalist movement.
Along with George Soros and the left-wing Ford Foundation, Singer gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to the pro-open borders National Immigration Forum (NIF). The NIF later set up and funded the sham grassroots Christian group “Evangelical Immigration Table” to create the illusion of widespread conservative Christian support for mass third-world immigration. As Breitbart News uncovered, the Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT) never was an independent legal entity and existed only as a front for the NIF. Singer directly funded the effort, as Breitbart News and USA Today reported at the time.
This did not stop establishment Republicans, including the editors of the once-definitive conservative publication National Review, from latching onto the EIT as a genuine font of anti-Trump grassroots activism.
The Wall Street hedge-fund billionaire Singer was an early – and significant – backer of “Gang of Eight” amnesty ringleader Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in the 2016 campaign. This support made good on the two men’s years-long relationship based, in large part, on their mutual belief in the most recent major campaign for amnesty for illegal aliens and massive immigration increases in 2013.
As Breitbart News’s Julia Hahn reported in 2015, Singer and Rubio’s other wealthy backers stood to benefit significantly from the massive flow of low-skill, low-wage labor that would result from the Gang of Eight bill or its post-2016 successor.
At the time, candidate Trump savaged Rubio on Twitter over the connection, calling Singer “Mr. Amnesty:”
Singer’s opposition to Trump and populist conservatives continued as Rubio’s presidential bid floundered and even after it failed. The billionaire found a welcome home in the #NeverTrump wing of the Republican Party. After Trump secured the GOP nomination, Singer kept up his stance against him, telling CNBC, in June 2016, that Trump’s economic policies, including those on trade and immigration, were “close to a guarantee of a global depression, widespread global depression.”
Immediately following Trump’s election, the stock market began one of the longest sustained rallies in modern history

You guys DO know that there is a vast difference between funding opposition research and meeting with a hostile foreign government which wants to help you get elected, right?

Actually, I don't believe they do.

Sure, like the one above would be the former, right?
I imagine the same claim is made about the Clinton Campaign funded, Fusion GPS, Steele dossier.
Why? Was there some named source evidence somewhere showing Clinton or Trump colluded with the Russians? I haven't seen it. I've seen people who seem to believe their desire to see it and actually seeing it are the same thing though.
Or did you simply mean somebody connected to the campaign was open to hearing dirt on the opposition from a source possibly connected to the Russian government at some unknown level?
In that case, you could be talking about the Clinton funded, Fusion GPS, Steele Dossier.

I thought this below was interesting. It shows the difference in mainstream media coverage between Trump Jr talking to the Russian lawyer who claimed to have info negative to Hilary and the Clinton campaign making a similar possible misstep when it was discovered they funded the Steele Dossier.

No doubt you can produce emails from Clinton's son telling her campaign manager "Hey! The Russian government has some great stuff on Trump! Let's go meet with them and see if we can cut a deal!"
Meanwhile, we have this.
Donald Trump Jr. on Tuesday released what he said was the “entire email chain” of his conversations setting up a disputed meeting with a Russian attorney, showing what appeared to be an offer to provide information that would “incriminate” Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton as “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump. This is obviously very high level and sensitive information but is part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump -- helped along by Aras and Emin."

You don't understand the difference between Clinton's team funding opposition research and Trump's team knowingly meeting with agents of the Russian government to collaborate?
Btw, would you please take the Canadian Conservative Party sign off your avatar? I'm offended, on behalf of Conservatives and conservatives that you might be in any way trying to associate your views with us.

They know the difference. But in their world they just don't care.
As for Canadian conservatives you might want to pay closer attention to what Andrew Scheer could be doing. Yes, he might have separated himself from Ezra irreLevant's The Rebel but there's other signs that he could be willing to take the party a-Trumping if he thinks it'll help them win. Them retaining that right-wing Hamish dude (can't remember his last name) as an organizational big-wig could indicate that they're willing to dive right into a GOP-esque sewer in the next campaign if they believe it'll get them more seats. Not good times to be a conservative with a conscience anymore.
