The records of Fusion—which was at the center of the operation to prevent Trump from becoming president—reveal “12 transactions associated with payments to four journalists and/or researchers.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-paid-propaganda-as-news-scam_2802974.html

"It also reveals “12 transactions associated with payments from media Company A.” It remains unknown who the specific journalists and media were that received the payments."

I have long suspected that "media Company A" is CNN.

"Fusion GPS instructed [Steele] to give secret briefings to media organizations on multiple occasions. Among those briefed by Steele on the unverified dirt he produced on Trump were reporters at The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, CNN, and Yahoo News."

It’s very telling that for more than a year while congressional Republicans played by the rules and sat on this information, none of it was leaked by the Democrats to their media allies.

"That points to these payments to media outlets being highly damaging information, since the Trump-Russia conspiracy theorists—both in Congress and in the media—can’t figure out a way to spin this information, not even as damage control."

"When those financial records become public information—as they inevitably will—a whole lot of well-deserved consequences are going to descend on media outlets that willingly prostituted themselves in the service of spreading narratives they knew were Fake News."
