Sen. Tim Kaine falsely accused the Washington Free Beacon of funding the Russian dossier when it is clear they stopped paying Fusion GPS before the firm worked on the dossier.
The Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign were revealed as funders of the dossier that alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Kaine tried to deflect from that fact during a Tuesday interview on CNN, instead incorrectly blaming the Washington Free Beacon.
“Do you see these things as equivalent–of the Hillary campaign looking for dirt from Russians and Russians offering dirt to the Trump campaign?” CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota asked Kaine.
“If you’re asking about the dossier, that was funded by a conservative, online news publication–the Washington Free Beacon,” Kaine falsely stated. “And they hired a British secret service agent and then when they decided to drop it, apparently…some of the funds used to continue the investigation were used by the Clinton campaign.”
However, reporting indicates clearly that Kaine’s version of events is incorrect.

Illegal Foreign Voting in Virginia Covered Up by Soros-Backed Democratic Officials, Says Report
Virginia’s election officials are enabling illegal registration and voting by foreign citizens, according to an extensive new study, titled “Alien Invasion in Virginia,” by a former Department of Justice civil rights lawyer.
“Virginia election officials don’t seem to care that thousands of [foreign] aliens have corrupted their voter rolls,” by illegally registering to vote, said J. Christian Adams, the former Department of Justice lawyer, and now the president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. “Even worse than doing nothing about it, they are trying to cover it up,” he told Breitbart News.
Even small amounts of illegal voting can make a decisive difference — Democratic Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring defeated Republican Mark Obenshain in 2013 by a mere 165 votes out of 2.2 million votes cast.
But “in the eight [out of 130-plus] jurisdictions that provided us with lists of aliens recently removed from their voter rolls, we discovered that 31 non-citizens had cast a total of 186 votes between 2005 and 2015,” said the report, given first to Breitbart News.
“This is just a fraction of the aliens caught in just eight counties in a state with over 130 counties,” Adams said. “Even with such a small sample, the number of aliens who got on the voter rolls is staggering. The aliens are casting ballots in a state where elections have been decided by a few hundred votes.”
The new report is a partnership of the Virginia Voters Alliance and the Public Interest Legal Foundation, and it details how at least 1,046 non-citizens were allowed to vote based on official voting records, he said.

Tim Kaine Can’t Defend Hillary’s Russian Reset
Democratic vice presidential nominee and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine was not able to defend Hillary Clinton’s reset with Russia and instead pivoted to connecting Donald Trump to the Kremlin during an interview Sunday.
“Hillary Clinton was in charge with the so-called reset with Russia. Can you make an argument that it worked, given what happened in Crimea and Syria?” ABC’s Martha Raddatz asked Kaine.
The Virginia senator replied, “I don’t think you can make an argument that the relationship with Russia is in a good place right now.”
“But that’s not the U.S.’ fault, that’s Vladimir Putin’s aggressive and imperialist ambitions,” Kaine continued on to say. He then changed his focus to Trump. “Donald Trump was not even aware that Putin had gone into Crimea as recent as two weeks ago.”
“This is just one of a number of very very troubling insistences where Trump’s coziness with Putin is coziness with Russia,” Kaine said. Raddatz then cut in to focus back on the Russian reset, and showed a quote from a Polish foreign minister who said Russia viewed the 2009 reset as a sign of weakness.
