Trump floats conspiracy by Democrats, FBI and Russia to pay for 'pee pee tape' dossier

Source: RawStory

President Donald Trump on Thursday suggested that the infamous “pee-pee tape” dossier that alleged he got a “golden shower” from Russian prostitutes was concocted by a conspiracy between the Democratic Party, the FBI, and the Russian government.




The dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele, alleges that the Russian government has been cultivating Trump as a potential asset for years. Although the dossier’s allegations about Trump’s sexual activities in Russia have not been verified, some of its other allegations are apparently being taken seriously by special counsel Robert Mueller, who has been tasked with investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

I know that more oil was discovered there this spring, but Trump is avoiding talking about Niger like the plague.

Just like Democrats and the FBI concocted all of those financial connections to Russia and set up those Ruskie meetings at Trump Tower and were behind the
pinging server at Trump Tower. That's the ticket.

He definitely protests too much. If there was nothing to the dossier and the "pee pee tape", an innocent man would ignore it. You can usually measure the extent of Trump's guilt by how loudly and often he denies something. He's acting like a corner animal.

Trump's big worry is the Russia thing, and he knows he has to discredit the dossier any way he can.

All the deflection is just wasting time.

If we never see the pee tape, I'm fine with that. I'm more concerned about the treason, the collusion with a hostile foreign power, the graft and corruption, the failure to pay taxes, the money-laundering, and nepotism and the basic GRIFTING that this man is doing for his entire life. Let's get on with the impeachment, immediately.

and when the Bushes and their Big Money backers stepped away from The heinous STANK of it all, the shitball dossier just kept rolling along toward the Truth Zone.

No wonder the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is scared stupid. All republican TreasonWeasels who have betrayed American democracy must be locked up.

When did the Bush family drop the project? Where was this exposed? I KNEW I'd heard this before that Jeb was involved, but then didn't hear anything more. I'd love to learn more.

"How much of the Steele dossier stands up?

Last year, a political intelligence firm in Washington, Fusion GPS, hired Steele to investigate Trump’s dealings with Russia. The DNC paid for the work after its initial funder, a wealthy Jeb Bush supporter, dropped out.

I like The Guardian better than our US sites and feel they get better news that can be printed without supervision from the powers that be. I hope I'm right.

So it is a collaboration of the FBI, Russian Gov., Jeb Bush, and the DNC. Gee that seems....unlikely.

And the more time he has to reframe the conversation. To repeat lies over and over until they are believed.

I know proper investigations take time, but FFS Mueller, we need some real meat to chew on soon! It may be too late already. Even if Mueller thinks he has concrete proof of collusion, Trump and team have successfully convinced over 50% of the populace that anything bad about Trump that comes out of their picture boxes is fake. It will come to a point where it will not matter how much proof Mueller's council has got. Enough rubes will have been convinced that Mueller and his team are all "deep state Democrats" or working for them. To destroy America.

People thought it could never get worse than W Bush/Cheney. With so many supporting him despite his lying into war.

I see it now, that people think this is the worst that can happen, and soon Mueller will put an end, or at least start the ball rolling to the end, of Trump. But it could get even worse. Circuit judges are being replaced all over the country with Trumpster true believers. Officials in every department are being replaced by Trumpster true believers, after they resign in disgust. Even Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan are being challenged by TTBs candidates in their own ridings. Once the vast majority either in government, judicial, and bureaucracy are TTBs, and McCain is gone, along with any other 'moderate' Republicans left, it is realistically possible that Trump could turn the US into a new 4th Reich. Where CNN and MSNBC are shut down with new laws created to combat "fake news", or simply bought out by Trump friendly billionaires, where Breitbart and Infowars have their own shows. Where new Gitmos are set up inside the country to hold anyone protesting too much or mocking the President.

Trouble is, how does one stop it? Will it take what happened in Germany? For foreign nations to come over and physically destroy America? (If that would even be possible). Surely there must be a way to stop it before that happens. But history has shown that empires must violently implode or be violently conquered by other nations before they change their ways.
