The Dossier was funded first by some conservative mag trying to get dirt on Trump from Fusion GPS.  I guess after a while they decided to go for Trump and dropped support for the Dossier.  The DNC and Hillary picked up the funding for it.  Some ex Brit spy came on board and finished up the research on the dossier.  Actually it was not the Dossier that got things started it was George Stephanopoulos who got the whole thing started by telling some Aussie Trump acquired dirt on Hillary from some Russian government source and the person he told, spilled his/her guts to the CIA or FBI.  Since this was at the time when the DNC was getting hacked, it was believed that Trump and some Russian Government source was spearheading the hacks and this is what jumped things off.

The Ex British spy was the one with ties to the Kremlin. He made that dossier and it did start things. That fake dossier was the main source for the spying warrant from the fisa court. Popadopalous was a set up. The Russian source that told him had ties to the FBI CIA. They fed him the line, a job and assigned drinks with the Aussie diplomat. He’s some clueless asshole and they hustled him.

It was believed that Trump was spearheading the Russian attack by who? That’s convenient.

Yes, British spy with ties to Russia.  Isn't that what spies do.  They develop contacts within other countries they spy on to you know get intel.  The key is was the information within the dossier not correct.

At Bolded:  You tell me.  If one of your people within your camp goes around telling everyone they received information from Russian contacts concerning another candidate while those same people are getting hacked, exactly what do you believe our intelligence agencies are going to do.  Yes, convenient that Trump hired multiple people with contacts with foreign power who we have proof was hacking us at this time.  Even if there isn't anything there it would be silly to believe that those are not things our government would look into especially after we have seen the extent the hacking attempts being done.  It was convenient that Trump asked for those missing Hillary emails and immediately efforts to obtain that information started.  Everything seems very convenient especially during those times, people within Trump organization were asked multiple question on meetings they have had that they conveniently forgot then had to walk it back after people found evidence they were lying.  This is why lying about such stuff always comes back to haunt you.  You yes, since Trump and his people have lied multiple times and got caught on their contacts and dealings with Russia during a time we were getting hack by the them definitely made the Trump administration people of interest to the investigation.

Does it take any real leap in judgement that Trump and his people were targets or do you really going to sit there and believe that meeting in Trump tower concerning adoption was really about adoption.  You know the same thing  that Putin wanted to address during his summit with Trump where Congress had to pass a vote to not allow American citizens to be sent to Russia for question because the President was considering Putin offer.

Personally, I find it convenient how easily you dismiss these situations.  If anything they are things that our government should be taking an interest in and trying to find the truth if possible.
