    Ask La David Johnson's pregnant wife if she thinks Trump is a classless buffoon and that the Pentagon is lying about what happened in Niger, she can be found on Good Morning America. Ask Pat Tillman's wife if she appreciates you fast food patriots trying to use his memory to score cheap points. We can ask all day. Maybe we should have 8 or 10 investigations into Niger like Republicans pushed and whiffed completely on Benghazi. Somehow I doubt it.

    Isn't this because of unlimited monies for campaign finance? Makes it hard to track and untangle too.

    There was never any doubt that Trump opponents paid for this. That isn't really new. We only have to find out how much of the dossier is true.

    We know that parts of the dossier have been verified and turned out to be correct, accurate, demonstrably true. Trump business connections mentioned in the dossier were true, connections between Russians and Trump team including Carter Page, and Michael Flynn all turned out to be true. So some parts of the dossier were entirely accurate.

    This dossier is only relevant because we would like to know how much of it was actually true. If this investigation helps us verify or nullify more of the dossier, then great.

    We don’t know all the financiers of the dossier. For all we know, Russia may have funded this dossier in an effort to have its agents feed Steele misleading information.

    Truthfulness of the dossier shouldn’t even be a concern for Mueller right now.

    Incorrect. An anonymous GOP donor funded opposition research from Fusion but stopped long before the dossier. GOP had nothing to do with the dossier. It was entirely funded by Dems and other parties that Fusion is refusing to reveal (probably Russia).

    better explained. Republican funding to Fusion for Trump info (it was probably rupert murdoch and jeb bush) ended April 2016. The dossier started being funded in June 2016 and that's when Steele was contacted.

    Thinking Trump conspired with Russia to rig the election = informed

    Thinking Hillary and Russia funded fake opposition research = low mental capacity.

    So, let me get this right.

    The DNC funded propaganda that the Obama administration turned around and used to obtain a FISA warrant to literally wiretap Trump tower....and this isn't like watergate how?

    Oh, and she's about to get destroyed when that FBI informant testifies before Congress with written and audio evidence she endangered national security by selling Uranium to Putin?

    And some of you are such good judges of character you actually voted for her? And think it's Trump who colluded with Russia not her?

    lol

    Because that's what happened no matter how you try to spin it.

    Lest the trumpkins forget, what is in the dossier is the most important part of this story. Don't be fooled or misdirected.

    Don't ignore what has already been corroborated in the dossier.

    The dossier has been debunked many times over (at least most of it). What hasn't been debunked is simply unverifiable. No news outlet would publish it besides buzzfeed.

    1. You are wrong. Several parts of the dossier have in fact been verified and were entirely true. Other parts seem not to be true, haven't been verified yet, or were inaccurate.

    2. You must not be familiar with what a dossier is apparently. A dossier does not claim to have facts. It is simply gathered intelligence which is presented to others who sort through it and determine which parts if any are accurate. It is more like a collection of rumors that are known to be rumors. Some usually end up being true, and some don't. Several parts of this dossier were 100% accurate and have been verified. Some parts seem laughable.

    We just need to find out how much of it turns out to be true. One fact that we do know for certain is that the whole dossier has not been debunked as much as you like to claim that it has been. That just isn't true.

    How many millions of dollars did the Democrats end up giving to people connected to Putin?

    I wish that meme actually made sense. But having opposition research about an opponent in no way insinuates or shows any kind rigging the election or even insinuates rigging the election, or even insinuates anything unusual in politics at all.
