This is a new era where there are no ethics and consolidated power. Donald Trump could be a traitor and nobody would care.
I was thinking along those lines, but I'm not so sure now. Trump has his small base (25-30 percent of the country max), but if you watched the hearings closely today, even Sessions sounds like he'll stand up to to Trump. I'm not fond of the guy, but as he was speaking, it almost looked like it was dawning on him what an extremist nutjob Trump is.

As Trump continues to skirt the law by remaining tied to his business and dragging family members into the WH a la Saddam Hussein, I think the establishment GOP will continuously distance themselves from him. They may be conservative, but most are familiar with, and respect, the law and the government, which Trump obviously does not.

They won't be able to place him in Prague, given his confidence of that fact as expressed on Twitter and his challenge for investigators to check his passport.

This assertion in regard to Cohen will be one definite piece of fake information within the so-called report that will work to impugn the author's credibility and the rest of the unverifiable information in the report.

The other fake news in the report, which will send everyone who is taking it seriously scurrying, is that kids from an internet forum made up the sexual deviance story and put it into circulation, at which time the Neocons and dems started treating it like real intel.

This report is going to take people down, and those people won't be Trump and his administration.
Exactly. The shoe is going to be on the other foot.

I read all 35 pages of the report.

One example of why Trump could be impeached - scroll down to page 30 of the report and read detail #2:

https://www.documentcloud.org/docume...legations.html

If true, Trump agreed that the U.S. would lift economic sanctions against Russia in exchange for his receiving a 19% interest in Rosneft, a Russian oil company owned 50% by the Russian government: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosneft

I'm open to it. Let's see it.
True.

I would use this article as a lead, as it links to the forum in question where their claims are being discussed.

4Chan Claims To Have Fabricated Anti-Trump Report As A Hoax | Zero Hedge

The article also summarizes and links to, directly, some of the relevant discussion.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh. Stay tuned my friend. Republicans are in power and they dare not weaken themselves by cannibalizing their own . It would show weakness and they would get crushed in the midterms . Pissed off 30 percent (Trump dead enders) and a massive Obama, Clinton and Bernie coalition...... Trump is the leader of the party and they won't turn on him.

Which if it's true, I'd love to see how that evolved. It's all documented, if so.

And, who knows how far this thing actually goes that only Putin and his minions - and Trump - knows about?

Extortion of the POTUS by an unfriendly power is a teensy bit unseemly.
Unseemly? I should say.

But is it illegal?

So far, Trump has been on the receiving end of Putin's assistance. It would seem to me that the illegal part won't happen until he's in office and advocates waiving the sanctions or some other action that would benefit Putin.

What am I missing here?

Different? You gotta be kidding me. The title of the thread is REPORT. Intelligence agencies will continue to investigate, report to Congress (should they wish to convene an investigation), who will draw whatever conclusions they think appropriate then, as necessary, make the appropriate public statements. (To say, take the appropriate action would be getting waaaay out too front.)

Compare that to a talk show host saying that he sent some possibly non-existent investigator to Hawaii to look into the President's birth and that the investigator couldn't believe what he was finding. And the result was? The time was never right for Trump to reveal these findings.

No real assertion much less conclusion here AT ALL, but its a whole different kind of *process.*
