Democrats agreed to fund continued research into Russia possibly owning Donald Trump after Republicans decided they didn’t care anymore.

Is this hyperbole? Not really. This is exactly what happened. And this has been known, widely reported, since before election day.

Look back at almost countless articles on the  Steele Dossier and you’ll find the same basic account. 

The project began as an opposition research project funded by Republicans during the GOP primaries when, of course, there were Republicans with an interest in finding damaging information about Donald Trump. 

After Trump sealed the GOP nomination, Republicans had no desire or interest in funding this research.

 So Democrats agreed to start footing the bill.
