Thor Halvorssen: ‘What Fusion GPS Does Is Create Fake News, They Get Paid to Smear People’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "What does this mean to you? You know Fusion GPS. They did some work on you."
HALVORSSEN: "Yeah. Important clarification. Fusion G.P.S. was hired to smear me and to smear a group of us who were whistleblowing about a Venezuelan corruption case. A group of criminals in Venezuela hired Fusion GPS so that they would then smear us. They created a dossier. Smearing us. They did one on me personally smearing me. They took that dossier to the Wall Street Journal. It did not work. The reporters there would not bite. Ultimately they found an out-of-work report Ken Silverstein in Washington. He took their money and took what was in that dossier and published a fake news story. What Fusion GPS does is create fake news. They get paid to smear people. And the fact that the House investigators have actually found these three journalists have been paid, they should unredact that. I should note that just because it’s in their banking records doesn’t mean that there is not a whole bunch of other journalists that didn’t get paid in cash. I have no doubt that they have also paid journalists in cash. It’s what Fusion GPS does. And a lot of journalists don’t want that 'on the record.' So they want it in cash. This is a massive scandal. The mainstream media knows that there are negative repercussions. This is why this must all come out. This all be un-redacted there must be more and more information about who is getting paid. What are they getting paid for."
