You can not qualify that statement....
At least my "baloney" is edible. What you just said would cause Coprophagia.

"On October 24, 2017, it was
reported that the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid Fusion GPS for opposition research that included the Steele Dossier. This work was facilitated by the law firm Perkins Coie, and the firm stated that the campaign and the DNC were not aware that the research was being conducted by Fusion GPS. It was later
reported on October 27, 2017 that Fusion GPS was initially hired to do opposition research on Republican presidential candidates by the conservative website The Washington Free Beacon. The Free Beacon has stated that the work provided to them by Fusion GPS did not contain the information in the Steele Dossier, indicating that Steele was hired by Fusion GPS once the Clinton campaign and the DNC had begun funding the work."

"Sunny Hostin insisted that the dossier was “paid for by Republicans first,” to which Pirro replied, “No … it was paid for by the DNC and Hillary Clinton.”
“Paid for by Republicans first,” Hostin repeated with agreement from Whoopi Goldberg.
“I wonder what Republican that was, do you know?” Pirro said sarcastically about the false claim.
“It has been confirmed actually it was a donor to one of his primary opponents,” CNN contributor Ana Navarro replied smugly.
Several journalists have claimed that Republicans first funded the dossier, but really a GOP donor paid for standard opposition research on Trump well before Fusion GPS contracted with Christopher Steele to create the dossier.

"At this point we have to emphasize that
we already knew that Steele’s work was funded by Democrats. Or more precisely, at first the project was funded by Republicans, and then when Trump became the nominee it was picked up by Democrats. David Corn of Mother Jones first
reported on it in October 2016:
This was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project’s financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.)"
It's hard to know for sure what's the truth these days however my father always told me that "there's two sides to every coin"
