Obama's campaign website teed him up in April of as one of eight "less than reputable" Romney donors and a "bitter foe of the [[gay rights]] movement." VanderSloot's wife donated to an anti-[[gay marriage|gay-marriage]] campaign, of the kind that had passed in 30 or so states. The article read, "Now we learn that little more than a week after that Presidential posting, a former Democratic Senate staffer called the courthouse in Mr. VanderSloot's home town of Idaho Falls seeking his [[divorce]] records. Ms. Strassel traced the operative, Michael Wolf, to a [[Washington, D.C.]] outfit called FusionGPS that says it is "a commercial research firm."<ref>http://www.fusiongps.com</ref> FusionGPS is run by a former ''Wall Street Journal'' reporter, Glenn Simpson, who wouldn't say who is paying him for this high-minded slumming but said in an email that Mr. VanderSloot was a "legitimate" target because of "his record on [[homosexual agenda|gay issues]]."<ref>https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304203604577397031654422966</ref> FusionGPS is the same oufit that later produces the ''Steele dossier''.
