So if Trump paid for a foreign agency to spy on Clinton; then it's just politics? I admit that question sounds snarky; however, that's not the intent. As I said there's been far too much spin on the Russian dossier for me to try and keep up.
The Clinton campaign didn't hire a foreign agency, or even a foreign agent. They hired Fusion GPS, a well establish research firm based in Washington DC that has been doing this sort of work since 2011. They contracted Steele to look into Russian connection with Trump because of Steele's specialty in the country from his says with MI-6. Steele's research was only one part of the opposition research being done by Fusion GPS into Trump.
None of that is spin. I'm not stating my opinion on what happened, or anyone else's. These are established facts.
