TPM excerpt:
Following the publication of a dossier containing explosive and unverified info on Donald Trump and Russia, BBC News reported Wednesday that it originated in opposition research done by a former British intelligence officer working for a Super PAC supporting none other than Jeb Bush.
If that sounds like a too-good-to-be-true political plot twist, thats because maybe it isa lawyer for the PAC told TPM it had nothing to do with British Intelligence officers.
The Guardian reported earlier Wednesday that the former British intelligence official credited with compiling the dossier on the alleged Russia-Trump ties had been working as a subcontractor for an opposition research firm digging up dirt for one of Trumps Republican presidential primary opponents. The article pointed out that often, research firms do not know who exactly who is hiring them.
The Guardians report did not name who the opposition research firms client was. But BBC News Paul Wood later reported, without citing any sources, that the opposition research firm that commissioned the report had worked first for a superpac political action committee supporting Jeb Bush during the Republican primaries.
