Did Former Feinstein Staffer Have Involvement With Fusion GPS During 2016 Elections?

In a March 8, 2018, op-ed for the Daily Caller titled, The Ever-Changing ‘Russia Narrative’ Is False Public Manipulation, Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska noted how “the disintegration of evidence-based journalism permits a surprisingly small number of individuals to destroy bilateral or multilateral relations.”

Deripaska then described an unusual meeting that took place on March 16, 2017, between his lawyer and a former intelligence staffer for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) named Dan Jones:

“Daniel Jones—himself a team member of Fusion GPS, self-described former FBI agent and, as we now know from the media, an ex-Feinstein staffer—met with my lawyer, Adam Waldman, and described Fusion as a “shadow media organization helping the government,” funded by a “group of Silicon Valley billionaires and George Soros.”

Grassley lists Jones in a footnote as the “former Senate Intelligence Committee staffer for Senator Feinstein, current President of the Penn Quarter Group.”

Jones joined the Senate Intelligence staff in January 2007 from the FBI, where he served as an intelligence analyst. While on the Senate Intelligence Committee staff, Jones worked directly for Feinstein. Upon his decision to leave the committee staff in December 2015, Jones was personally eulogized by Feinstein with Obama in attendance.

Not everyone viewed Jones in the same favorable light as did Feinstein. Republican consultant and former Trump campaign aide Michael Caputo would later invoke the name of Jones during a damning statement to the Senate Intelligence Committee in March 2018:

“How many of you know Daniel Jones, former Senate Intelligence staffer for Senator Dianne Feinstein? Great guy, right? Most of you worked with him. One of you probably just talked to him this morning.
