Question about dossier:

Way back when, didn't they say that the republican party paid for the dossier and then AFTER that the democrat party continued paying? Why do they never mention who paid for it in the beginning?

Who is "they"? Repukes? "They" don't mention it because it doesn't fit the narrative.

It was also a Repuke that gave it to the FBI: McCain.

Christopher Steele was brought in after the Denocrats took it.

And it was he who produced the dossier.

I haven't heard it said grammatically that, "the democratics are having an event". Whoever "they" may be.....potato, potahtoe...tomato, tomahtoe...

"Democrat" is a noun. A person is a Democrat.
"Democratic" is an adjective. As in Democratic Party.

Nobody but ignorant republicans say "Democrat Party."
