DC's not exactly the most trust-worthy website, but it comes from a book, so it should be fairly easy to confirm or debunk:
Obama Used Fusion GPS Investigate Romney | The Daily Caller
REVEALED: Obama Campaign Hired Fusion GPS To Investigate Romney
“As had become standard practice in the shadowy world of ‘oppo’ research, the Obama campaign’s payments to Fusion GPS were never publicly disclosed; the money paid to the investigative firm was reported on campaign disclosure reports as legal bills to the campaign’s law firm, Perkins Coie,” the book reads.
The Obama for America committee paid Perkins Coie around $3 million during the 2012 election cycle, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission, A vast majority of the payments were earmarked for “Legal Services.”
This seems like an incredibly sketchy practice, if true, IMO.
