A lot of bad reporting today on Fusion—including by Bloomberg, here. Fusion did not "help produce" Steele's dossier. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
2/ What we know is Republicans—then Dems—paid Fusion to pay Orbis (Steele's firm) to conduct research. Fusion had *no* data collection role.
3/ So Bloomberg implies [Trump agent] Nunes has issued a rogue subpoena to challenge Steele's *research*—when that's not what occurred here.
4/ To be clear, Fusion GPS is using a *GOP talking point* to say that *expenditures of money* during presidential campaigns are free speech.
5/ Real headline: "Rogue Congressman Conspires With Trump to Harass GOP-paid Firm Exercising Its First Amendment Rights Under GOP Doctrine."
6/ Meanwhile, Steele—the guy who *produced* the dossier—is cooperating with Mueller in all respects, and his work is relied upon by the FBI.
7/ As for Glenn Simpson (Fusion CEO) he's already tied with Carter Page for the *most hours under questioning*—ten. The GOP found *nothing*.
8/ So I'm not quite sure why U.S. media is bending over backwards to misreport the facts on the Steele dossier and push a false narrative.
