The next GOP candidate for President should pay for a bunch of "intelligence

Are you alluding to the Steel Dossier? What was Comey's connection to the Steel Dossier? How did Comey cause the Steel Dossier to happen and who was he in cahoots with for this "soft coup"?

The "Steele dossier" played a central role in the conspiracy theories>/b> surrounding a "soft coup" against Donald Trump, though official investigations ultimately debunked most of its claims. The dossier, which contained unsubstantiated allegations of Russian compromise and salacious material, was used by some critics of Trump to suggest he was unfit for office, while his supporters decried it as a politically motivated smear campaign and a basis for improper surveillance.

Op research is normal. And, IIRC, the dossier was given to the government for investigation by the GOP too.
