So we're going to go from our first black president...

I'm reading that this whole thing is a piece of opposition research which has been floating around since October?

I think you are missing the point.

If true, would it bother you that Trump's team reached out to the Russians to keep this information confidential? As a person who has spent their life fighting the Russians it seems like it would.

You want me to respond to a piece of uncorroborated opposition research which has been shopped around the media with nobody willing to buy it for the last 3 months?

If by nobody you mean four of the senior-most US intelligence chiefs -- Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers, then yes.

They neither briefed it nor corroborated it.

Not sure what you mean by "briefed it," but it was included in their report.

You are correct in that it may be nothing, but it seems to have their attention. You on the other hand seem reluctant to even consider it. Why is that?

Loving all the puns. This is going to be an entertaining Presidency, if anything.

What's the O/U on when AG and USN stop defending our golden president? I'm going with 18 months.

Trump is pissed.

Even buzzfeed (it's from buzzfeed, so you know it has to be good) calls it "unverified and potentially unverifiable allegations."

The 35 page document was not presented by intel chiefs. They presented him with a "two page appendix"

Not only does buzzfeed call it unverified, they even note that it has factual errors. "the document is not just unconfirmed: It includes some clear errors. The report misspells the name of one company, “Alpha Group,” throughout. It is Alfa Group. The report says the settlement of Barvikha, outside Moscow, is “reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates.” It is not reserved for anyone, and is also populated by the very wealthy."

So, I've presented more evidence that this is garbage than you've presented to support it as being factual.

Donald Trump, urine trouble now! I've heard of yellow journalism before but this is ridiculous.

#FakeNews

[USN_Hokie]

Trump is pissed.

I'm just glad something has brought you guys out of your footie pajamas and haagen dazs and back to UWS...unfortunately, it's only for a moment before your hopes are crushed mercilessly.

10 days.....

No offense, but rather than taking your word for it I'll await for the results of the investigation to trickle out.

Hear that sound? It's millions of gallons of liberal tears welling up, ready to be released.

You guys are about to learn why Hillary wouldn't even touch this shirt.

DT's twitter feed sure is going off on this crazy story. Why dignify these allegations with a response?

You really have to ask "why would Trump tweet about <X>"?

If this turns out to be a /pol/ troll job from this summer, will Big Dave have to issue HooFighter, Nolan, and IP new identities? I'm not sure they'd show their faces again otherwise, even for a discount $25 Caesar salad.

Nice try......

In a story that is getting more surreal by the minute, a post on 4Chan now claims that the infamous "golden showers" scene in the unverified 35-page dossier, allegedly compiled by a British intelligence officer, was a hoax and fabricated by a member of the chatboard as "fanfiction", then sent to Rick Wilson, who proceeded to send it to the CIA, which then put it in their official classified intelligence report on the election.
