Sorry - sometimes I'm obtuse. Where is this from/who prepared this? Is it real?

Thanks!

now does corporate work was hired by the Jeb Bush campaign to to do oppo on Trump. After Bush dropped out, he was hired to do oppo by other GOP opponents of Trump, I believe, and, eventually by Dems.

What he began to uncover disturbed him so much that he complied the research contained in the "dossier" for free.

He is now in hiding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Steele

The information that was in the 35 page dossier is currently being vetted (if it hasn't already) and is being confirmed to be true in both general and specific elements.

A couple of FSB agents are known to have disappeared in ne case and been murdered in another case immediately following the publication of the dossier...and maybe a little bit before Buzzfeed revealed the dossier to the public.

So this is the document referenced back in January that is turning out to be factual. It's amazing.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer me

on the orange leech has less to do with Trump the Businessman than it does with Trump the Pervert.

This one entry from the 30 July 2016 Summary was interesting (any typos are mine alone, since I can't cut and paste from the document):

. Russians apparently have promised not to use 'kompromat' they hold on TRUMP as leverage, given high levels of voluntary co-operation forthcoming from his team.


"High levels of voluntary co-operation." Accommodating little "patriots," aren't they?

It sounded too real. And it sounded like stuff old dumbass would do.

So then what happens?

What a mess this man has caused.
