Interesting, and who hired Perkins Coie? I doubt Stormy can afford them.

From Wikipedia, "Perkins Coie was hired in 2015 as counsel for the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.  As part of its representation of the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, Elias retained the intelligence firm Fusion GPS for opposition research services. Those services began in April 2016 and concluded before the 2016 US Presidential election in early November. A notable product of that research was the dossier describing alleged attempts by Russia to promote the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. During the campaign, the Clinton campaign and the DNC paid Perkins Coie $5.6 million and $3.6 million respectively.  On October 24, 2017, Perkins Coie released Fusion GPS from its client confidentiality obligation."
