Glenn Simpson, whose firm compiled an infamous and salacious dossier about President Donald Trumps ties to Russia, told Senate investigators Tuesday that he stands by its findings. The private investigator and former reporter spent more than 10 hours being questioned by the Senate Judiciary Committee after Chairman Chuck Grassley withdrew a subpoena when Simpson agreed to testify behind closed doors.

"Mr. Simpson told Congress the truth and cleared the record on many matters of interest to congressional investigators, Simpsons attorney Josh Levy told reporters following the session, according to ABC News.
Simpson co-founded the private research firm Fusion GPS, which was hired to produce a report on Trump. The dossier, largely prepared by former British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, alleges collusion between Trumps campaign and Russia. Among other explosive claims about the presidents links to the country are that the Kremlin has a compromising video of Trump getting prostitutes to urinate on a bed in a Moscow hotel in which Barack and Michelle Obama once stayed.
The claims remain unverified and have been vehemently denied by Trump.
Now that was totally made-up stuff.... I know a lot about those guys, theyre phony guys, Trump told The New York Times last month. They make up whatever they want. Just not my thing. Plus, I have witnesses, because I went there with a group of people.

Not sure if Amazon Kindle or other e-book readers would have large enough storage space for this?
So... All the dirt on Trump is very difficult to handle logistically.

(7,522 posts)If you use one of his longer novels like Under the Dome or It, which are both roughly 1000 pages. Stack 40 of those up.
Or a stack of 40 of the latter Harry Potter books.

Soon louder, like an 18-wheeler rumbling by on the interstate.
Pee Tape... Pee Tape...
Spoken among neighbors at the grocery store, at the church social, at Boy Scout meetings, at the Kiwanis club, on the NBC Nightly News, the subject of a new series of Marvel comic books...
PEE TAPE... PEE TAPE...
NYT headlines, skywriting, billboards, in neon on Times Square, posted on every light pole, the subject of congressional hearings, rumors of a new movie soon to be released, incorporated in stained glass windows, from the lips of millions gathered at the White House...
PEE TAPE! PEE TAPE!
