What's wrong with the word "dossier" ? Would you rather call it "a collection of allegations supposedly derived from a supposed former intelligence agent assembled by an unknown private political opposition research firm on behalf of Republicans and Democrats opposed to Trump." More accurate, but too long for tv.

Fox can't be the only network speculating about who leaked the document.

You're right, Trump speculated it was the intelligence community at his presser yesterday.

Not a huge fan of the NYTimes, but this article gives a pretty concise wrap-up of what is known and unknown at this point. The biggest take-away I get from it is that nothing in the dossier was able to be verified enough to actually use, despite months of research into it.

It's just that where I come from, after someone is caught telling a giant ****ing lie, we don't then give them the benefit of the doubt so that they can tell more giant ****ing lies.


It's called integrity.

So who paid for the dossier on Trump in the first place? Anyone think the MSM is busily rooting out the Democrats and anti-Trumpers who paid for this information?

"Clapper also says he told Trump he does not believe any leaks from Friday's meeting between intelligence officials and Trump came from the intelligence community."

So, where did it come from?

How did the press get it?

Christopher Steele, Private Eye, is in hiding. Sooner or later he will have to come out. And there will be a lot of questions.

There is some good reporting on the Guardian about this issue and it's pretty well sourced:

Whether it's true or not (it's not), it's a dead issue now.

The leftists have cried wolf so many times, nobody is listening to them now.

Knowledge of the dossier has been floating around for months. The fact that there was a meeting would be evident by who entered the building.

Is what Buzzfeed put out the actual dossier? No clue.
But the fact is there is a dossier and there was a briefing about it.
