Now that the chickens have com home to roost (as they say) it is abundantly clear that there is indeed a political Establishment that readily conspires and plots to manipulate politics and dupe Americans into believing otherwise.
Democracy at work? Hardly. The election of an anti-establishment outsider to the office of POTUS remains a threat to the power brokers in this country and they are not about to roll over without a fight. Even if it means exposing the scam that this is a two-party democracy.
REPUBLICANS ARE PRETENDING THEY DIDN'T FUND THE TRUMP GOLDEN SHOWER DOSSIER BEFORE HILLARY CLINTON
Shortly after a report emerged Tuesday evening claiming that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee in part funded a dossier containing explosive allegations about President Donald Trump’s links to Russia, the Republican National Committee trumpeted the story in outrage.

There was just one problem with the version of the Washington Post story that the RNC reposted on its website: a line stating that prior to the Clinton campaign picking up the tab, the research was “funded by an unknown Republican during the GOP primary” was notably absent.
Clinton campaign, DNC paid for research that led to Russia dossier - The Washington Post
The Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee helped fund research that resulted in a now-famous dossier containing allegations about President Trump’s connections to Russia and possible coordination between his campaign and the Kremlin, people familiar with the matter said.
Marc E. Elias, a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign and the DNC, retained Fusion GPS, a Washington firm, to conduct the research.
After that, Fusion GPS hired dossier author Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, according to those people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Elias and his law firm, Perkins Coie, retained the company in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Before that agreement, Fusion GPS’s research into Trump was funded by an unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.
The Clinton campaign and the DNC, through the law firm, continued to fund Fusion GPS’s research through the end of October 2016, days before Election Day.
