How the Trump dossier came to light: secret sources, a retired spy and John McCain (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/11/trump-russia-report-opposition-research-john-mccain?utm_source=esp&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=GU+Today+USA+-+morning+briefing+2016&utm_term=208166&subid=14256738&CMP=ema_a-morning-briefing_b-morning-briefing_c-US_d-1)This is an interesting read on where this dossier came from.


There is a small industry of research and investigative firms in Washington, typically staffed by a mix of former journalists and security officials, adept at finding information about politicians that the politicians would rather stay hidden. The firms often do not know who exactly is hiring them; the request could come from a law firm acting on behalf of a client from one of the parties.

A Russian specialist was used in this case. Apparently a Republican candidate for the GOP nomine was the client. He dropped out and a Democrat took over as being the client.

After the agent gathered his info and passed it onto the FBI he didn't hear back so he went to the press- the FBI had this information months ago.


The former intelligence official grew concerned that there was a cover-up in progress. On a trip to New York in October, he was persuaded to tell his story to David Corn, the Washington editor of Mother Jones, who first reported (http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/veteran-spy-gave-fbi-info-alleging-russian-operation-cultivate-donald-trump)the existence of the material on 31 October.

Apparently the copy that the source gave Mother Jones redacted the names of the Russian sources. But BuzzFeed released an unreacted copy. Where did they get it?

The FBI or the IC?

Read the entire article. It is interesting.

It is fishy. It takes a British newspaper to dig into it....

DNC. By process of elimination, there is little doubt remaining. They're slimy and the people who support them are likewise.

Did 4Chan Troll The CIA? .....


On Tuesday night, BuzzFeed News published an explosive (https://www.buzzfeed.com/kenbensinger/these-reports-allege-trump-has-deep-ties-to-russia?utm_term=.jdR4VZ38r#.bdLgD8AkM), yet completely unverified, dossier alleging that President-elect Donald Trump engaged in a whole host of, shall we say unusual, sexual activities in Moscow. Matt already wrote (http://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2017/01/10/intelligence-chiefs-to-trump-russia-has-compromising-information-on-you-n2269759) about the basics of the report and the blackmail threat, so I'm not going to delve into that.


What's worth talking about, however, are swirling claims (https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5n8yd9/when_you_never_verify_anything_because_youre_fake/) on Reddit that 4chan users on the board /pol/ (https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/95568919/#95571329) completely made the entire thing up. According to a variety of posts on the pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald, a user on /pol/, a 4chan board, made up the most salacious story in the report. He then mailed it to anti-Trump Republican strategist Rick Wilson, who then went to the CIA. The story was then included on the dossier published Tuesday by BuzzFeed News.


If this is true, this effectively means that 4chan trolled the U.S. intelligence system and the majority of the U.S. media with what's basically Donald Trump erotic fanfiction, which is terrifying.


While literally no aspect of anything that was reported tonight by both BuzzFeed News and 4chan has been confirmed or verified, it is an odd coincidence that a 4chan post from prior to the election seems to match up with what was released on Tuesday......snip~

It was funny, because one of the allegations was Trump with women and golden showers going on. Trump didn't refer to the act, but he said he read it, and that everyone knows he is a germaphobe.

They also ended up with the wrong Cohen.....one that wasn't associated to Trump. Plus now Clapper was telling Trump. It wasn't the IC.

Yet who said it was the IC and why would they deny its not from them. If they weren't even mentioned.

Trump needs to be aware that establishment types like McCain and Graham will be actively attempting to subvert his legislative agenda.

Trump won't respond the traditional way politicos usually do.

Yeah.....and Johnny Quest McCain thinks he is the go to guy. So he will obstruct. Twice we have had a chance to send that Fuck up, out to pasture. Johnny does not age well like a fine wine and he should be psychologically tested. As senility is his future.
