Opp research that was funded, as these things tend to be, through layers of protections. This isn't anything new, we actually knew this not long after the dossier came out.

I'd be willing to bet that the GOP opponent who initiated this research was Jeb Bush.  But anyway, sure, we have known who was behind it for quite some time, but why is this story now getting play?  The articles I saw are recent, very recent.
