Intel: Russia has Compromising info on Trump.

[Zenfoldor]

They would of easily dismissed the "easily provable" dossier months ago and not presented it to them if they deemed it unworthy of escalation; that obviously didn't happen.

I used "easily provable" because the originally document contains very specific facts related to travel of those involved which should be documented if they used an airport that requires a flight plan with the FAA. Is that not the case?

As far as your assertion that agencies deemed this "worthy of escalation," that's simply not what happened. You make it seem like they have been investigating this for months and found some new revelation. Nobody knows if that is true, and odds are not for or against that assertion. Is that what you think happened, ie: that the intelligence community has been investigating this and decided that because of new evidence they decided that it needed to be presented to the PEOTUS at this time?

As for my personal opinions....I guess my belief is that this document(32pg) was making the rounds and it was politically combustible due to the synergies with the russian stories of recently and that intelligence agencies decided they needed to include it in the briefing if indeed they were investigating it, just in case they found something.

IMHO, the primary reason it is a big story today is because the information from that classified briefing leaked. I don't think any new evidence has or will spring up concerning it and in fact I believe that now that it is finally being investigated by a legitimate intelligence agency and a proactive media it will be largely debunked in rather short order. Either way, the only way anything happens here is if an intelligence agency proves Trump's proactive involvement with Russia during the election, and that will probably be a longshot imho.

Right?

I mean the Democrats are now claiming that Donald Trump rented out a hotel room in Moscow that the Obama's slept in and paid prostitutes to pee on it out of shear dislike of the Obama's. The Russians filmed this weird event and somehow blackmailed him?

Seriously..... That is what the braying liberals are claiming right now. How magical.

The piss allegations, while hillarious, aren't even remotely the most important thing mentioned.

Nobody has any credibility.

Then I can safely ignore this comment.

No, those were your exact words.

You apparently did not understand him, because your outrage was answered by his second sentence. You were adamant that "Trump NEVER confirmed the contents of the document." His second sentence actually said the very same thing. Not only are you mad at me for what he typed, you are now getting angry at me for what you typed. Seriously, this is getting cray cray.

(Note: I do know that "cray cray" is not proper English, and I should have said "crazy." I just wanted to piss you off).

You go on and on about context of the second sentence but you fail to see the context of mine. You're just another dishonest liar. I made an example and said how his post was worded poorly and then told him to "learn to English".Nothing you say will ever be credible in my eyes.

You've been caught and now you have to keep lying.

Liberals as in your braying idiots on this board who will unironically condemn the obvious fraud of Pizzagate but say "This NOW WE GOT HIM!"

No one here at least said that. Everyone knew that it was almost certainly false, but it was nice for the lulz

CNN went from being the Clinton News Network to the Concocted News Network

One thing's sure, rightfully or not, this piece of journalism is going to hurt their reputation. To what extent though, it's hard to say. I don't think anyone will stop watching if they already do, but if Trump start shunning them it could have a lasting impact.

"BuzzFeed News is publishing the full document so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government,"

In other words "this has been circulating in Intelligence and media circles for half a year and nobodies been able to verify.. ANY of it?... so MAKE UP YOUR OWN MINDS"

That's not how journalism works BuzzFeed. You're meant to have verified sources and evidence for the information, not just publish anything for people to "make up their own minds" about.

The "Media" has been under more and more scrutiny recently. Freedom of the press is meant to be about giving the public information; more and more it's being used as a blanket freedom to do whatever the fuck they want. It wouldn't surprise me if half of it had been true, wouldn't surprise me if he's done worse before, but if you don't need to verify or prove any claims anymore, you might as well just make up whatever stories you want that will sell a paper.

This is the beginning of the end.

A few did, most didn't, just like pizzagate.

And yes, I liked the light-hearted tone from earlier in the thread. It's fun once in a while to bypass hostility and just have a bit of fun.

[Eyawn]

Hillary would have brought nuclear war with Russia.

[urasim]

No liberal source claimed that. No one said that. Did you ignore the freakin giant "not confirmed" disclaimer, in neon light?

This thread wouldn't have reached 58 pages if the leftist here didn't believe it. It has to do with Trump, and they have an irrational hatred for him. So, they MUST believe it's true.

Yeah, it was heartwarming to read between pages 10-25

Many of the pages were for the lulz. And then 10 pages were about his press conference

Hmmm, I do wonder who's sockpuppet you are.

With the latest tendency of brand new accounts shitposting idiocy like this just disappearing, surely there's a trend. Who's currently banned and upset about it...

[Shibito]

All Trump have to do is threaten to post a gay porn video with Putin and 3 other men and Russia will back down instantly.

irrational

lol

Not even going to bother to point out the irony here. You'll just ignore and deflect as you've been doing.

[Mister Cheese]

If you truly believe that pushing a false story or conspiracy theory invalidates everything, like CNN or Buzzfeed now being worthless, then you can't trust Trump himself because he pushed birtherism for years.

If you're in this thread denouncing CNN/Buzzfeed you also have to denounce Trump and any news outlet that pushed the notion of birtherism. That would be breitbart, drudge, fox, etc...

But let me guess, you won't do that? You're still going to blindly support Trump despite the hypocritical nature of it.

All of mainstream media is garbage. Nobody in here is saying otherwise. And I don't think anyone on this forum thinks trump is /ourguy/

[zorkuus]

Sounds like most of the stuff that wikileaks puts out.

So, then shitpost and attack me for no reason? You're a class act.

The reaction against Trump is a mirror image of the Republican reaction to Obama. They were so thoroughly defeated in 08, it was humiliating, it was almost an insult to their identity and pride so they set out to destroy him and they had the discipline to do it.

For Republicans in 2008 it was a horrible stinging lose, a man with an arabic name defeated them and brought his party unparalleled power. Forget Rove's promised Republican century of rule, forget the expected victory. Forget that their star leader was undone by this up and coming green behind the ears senator with an arabic name. This was about pride.

Democrats now feel the same sting. They were so assured of victory. So confident in the ascendancy of their power base. They would hold the white house forever, they could take the Senate this year. The GOP was finished, this was their hour of victory. And now they have nothing but a few state governments. The Democrats struggle to handle such a stunning loss, just as the GOP struggled with Obama's utter trouncing of them in 08'.

Attack? Lol someones sensitive. That wasn't a shitpost. Having the gall to claim peoples hatred/dislike of trump is irrational is insanely ironic considering what his entire campaign was built on. But anyways sure haha
