That's true too. It was a very small portion.

I saw that, and it is convincing work. The other real possibility is that any new lurker is doing it. This is drawing the attention of everyone with any political interest or motivation in the West, and anyone can post on that forum anonymously. If I were invested in the dossier being real, discrediting an entity that may discredit the dossier would be my first priority.

In short, it's hard to know how this will sort itself out. This will likely stretch out well past the inauguration. I do note a certain caution throughout the media, currently, which is surprising considering the document's implications whether true or false. It may be that everyone who has not invested with significant commentary is going to hold off until things are sorted, so as not to get drug down with the losing side.

Way to go: You got punked by a bunch of 4chan trolls that were shopping this fake story out to anti-Trump Republicans. A few prominent anti-Trump Republicans (and many Liberals) knew about this story before the election, but no one ran with it because it couldn't be verified and was absolutely outlandish.

No it wasn't (and we all know he's a pervert), but it damages the credibility of the rest of the report.

Default It's about kickbacks and bribes in China and elsewhere

Interesting - from p.8 - https://assets.documentcloud.org/doc...legations.pdf:

REPORT - Russia has compromising personal and financial info on Trump-trump-russia.jpg

in addition to the other escapades.

Fwiw, 4chan is the REAL fake news.

McCain was the number one dope buying into this fraud along with GOP party hack Rick Wilson. Journalists by the scores are running away from this story all over Twitter tonight.

I'm skeptical of both. Let ts see what the FBI has.

I'm not sure the Buzzfeed doc and the intelligence brief Trump got are actually related.
I agree with you, clearly there is enough information that they told both Trump and Obama about it, so let's see what Trump does with it,. It would be awesome if he called for a full investigation of it, it would give me some faith in his ability to act like an adult and a leader.
