Michael Sussmann, remember, was the Perkins Coie lawyer who called in CrowdStrike for the DNC at the end of April 2016, when the email cyber-intrusion had become apparent. Perkins Coie was counsel for the DNC and the Hillary campaign, and had contracted Fusion GPS for the opposition research on Trump that produced the Steele dossier.

As a brief preface, we know that the Washington Free Beacon had hired Fusion GPS to do opposition-type research on some GOP candidates in 2015. The start date of that contract was reportedly October 2015. Chuck Ross suggests a connection with billionaire Paul Singer’s support for Marco Rubio in the primary season (also discussed here), and points out that Rubio had dropped out of the race in March 2016, after losing the Florida primary to Trump.
It was in March 2016 that Fusion GPS approached Perkins Coie about potentially being paid to continue the oppo research started for Washington Free Beacon. (Yes, Fusion approached the law firm. See Ross.)
April: [Ross] Perkins Coie, using money from the Clinton campaign and DNC, hires Fusion GPS. Marc Elias, a Perkins Coie partner and general counsel for both the campaign and DNC, would serve as the bagman.
25-26 April: Obama’s Organizing for America PAC makes payments totaling $98,047 to Perkins Coie for “Legal Services.” Sean Davis at The Federalist reported this on 29 October 2017, asking if Obama’s OFA may have had something to do with hiring or paying Fusion GPS. (Which, as reported previously, had done oppo work for Obama in 2012.)
Note also that Bob Bauer of Perkins Coie was Obama’s chief counsel in the White House from 2009-2011, after serving as counsel to his 2008 campaign, and that a Perkins Coie attorney, Judith Corley, was Obama’s personal counsel during his presidency (a role that included the duty of personally collecting his long-form birth certificate from Hawaii in 2011). Obama’s ties to Perkins Coie are extensive – as are Perkins Coie’s links (and Marc Elias’s in particular) to numerous senior Democrats and Democratic campaign activities

Trump was likely referencing a report out Sunday by right-leaning outlet The Federalist, which surfaced Federal Election Commission (FEC) records showing that Obama for America gave a combined $972,000 to Perkins Coie between April 2016 and August 2017. The campaign—whose treasurer was Obama pal Martin Nesbitt—made dozens of payments to the Seattle-based law firm last year for "legal services."
The development lays bare the conflict at the heart of the Republican Party, with Singer one of several establishment party figures Bannon has pledged to wage war against in his capacity as Trump's enforcer. GOP opponents of Trump were the earliest funders of the research behind the dossier, Mother Jones reported in October, 2016, and renegade Senator John McCain has confirmed in a January statement that he passed a copy of the dossier to the FBI
