It's been reported Friday evening that the intel compiled by the former British spy has gained credibility among law enforcement.


The dossier that wouldn’t go away. Some got distracted by the urine aspects, but the real issue is whether or not Donald Trump has been compromised by Russia. It’s been reported Friday evening that the intel compiled by the former British spy has gained credibility among law enforcement.

In January, reports said the intel community was investigating claims that Russia had compromised Trump, and had damaging personal and financial information on then President-elect. Those reports haven’t gone away, and unlike accusations that they were false, they are gaining credibility among the law enforcement according to CBS and CNN.

CNN reported Friday evening, “For the first time, US investigators say they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent, multiple current and former US law enforcement and intelligence officials tell CNN.”

The salacious aspects of the dossier haven’t been corroborated, but other aspects of the dossier have been corroborated. “The corroboration, based on intercepted communications, has given US intelligence and law enforcement ‘greater confidence’ in the credibility of some aspects of the dossier as they continue to actively investigate its contents, these sources say.”

In response, the Trump White House accused CNN of being.......... “fake news.”

1. Be still

my heart.

[2naSalit]

2. I wonder if the salacious stuff was added

to attempt to discredit the whole thing..?

[zentrum]

15. Have wondered that too. nt

[elfin]

27. I think it was added to draw enough attention so that the real info was read by the masses

Without it, it might not have been published in its entirety.

And, just perhaps, the "streaming" was factual as well.

30. Urine trouble, Agent Orange!

Streaming video at 11:00.

3. somewhat ok article since it is taken from other sources

but the headline is clickbait. There is no proof whatsoever that "Reeling Trump Devastated"

Be leery of anything from this site.

4. Beware of Fox News, Washington Times, Breitbart and Infowars.

PoliticusUSA is for US!

Front Page News All In Caps on every site and station in the world, and junkie in the White House knows nothing?

On Air Force One heading to his resort with the Japanese Prime Minister, Trump was asked to respond to the Washington Post report that Gen. Flynn possibly violated the Logan Act by discussing sanctions with Russia’s Ambassador to the U.S. multiple times during the campaign and the transition.

“I don’t know about that. I haven’t seen it. What report is that? I haven’t seen that. I’ll look into that,” President Trump said according to a pool report sent to PoliticusUSA, denying that he has any knowledge that his own National Security adviser might have conspired with a hostile, aggressive actor against America’s goals.

6. obviously those right-wing sites are horrible and not on our side

but the left bias sites can be almost as bad. We need to be aware of the realistic news, not some hyped up version of the left-leaning news. They hype up stuff and use exaggeration in their headline writing. BillPalmerReport does this too. USUncut, another bad source.
Oh and bipartisanreport.

[yallerdawg]

7. Well, nothing more to say than:

Ok, Nancy.

[Skittles]

13. agreed

it is very important to remain credible

[charlyvi]

17. Commondreams.org is another one. n/t

[Eyeball_Kid]

26. It's treasonous if Trumpy knew. It's worse if he didn't.

[Bill USA]

5. I'm not so concerned how trump takes it (he wouldn't react like a normal person anyway) what I find

interesting is the the evidence is firming up, that Trump was compromised, by information on him, held by Russians.

[notdarkyet]

9. I've always thought he was. He knew Putin, he didnt know Putin.......story

Kept changing and rump is a pathological liar.

[thesquanderer]

12. Without even clicking, I'll guess it was written by jason easley?

His headlines are always clickbait, and not justified by the text that follows. The rest of the site is generally okay, but his stuff is awful.

[red dog 1]

20. No, it was written by Sarah Jones

I use Politicususa.com as a source sometimes.

[Eyeball_Kid]

28. If I recall, most publications don't use the author's headline. They have others to write them.

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. Kick

I have a lot of reading to do.

[Grins]

10. Probably leaked by the CIA who must really HATE Trump

I thought this was going to happen at some point, esp. after the disgusting antics of the Kim Jong Orange who used the wall of fallen CIA officers as a backdrop to brag about - himself. He has shit on them too many times. There had to be a blowback.

[grantcart]

11. He lacks self awareness to be devistated. He is probably angry and frustrated though

[SCVDem]

14. Not just tRump

I want a do over vote for president and everyone down to the turtle and p 90 in the docks.

There can be no reward for selling out America to win an election!

[Bill USA]

21. Amen!!

[Hekate]

16. Kickety

[Bradical79]

18. OK summary, but awful misleading headline

While it's how I like to imagine Trump's private reaction, it's just a clickbait headline with nothing to back it up. Was disapointed reading the article that there was nothing at all indicating he was "devastated and reeling"

[red dog 1]

23. 1 agree.

[Eyeball_Kid]

19. The "salacious" stuff isn't important anyway. The stuff that's corroborated is far more damaging.

Trumpy does what Trumpy does. What puts the nation at extreme risk is that Russia is blackmailing Trumpy, and Trumpy insists on denying this, yet is not showing evidence of any kind to support his denial. Yelling, "FAKE NEWS!" doesn't cut it.

[tableturner]

24. The salacious stuff would be important if it were confirmed as one of what could be many

possible compromising situations for Trump.

[red dog 1]

22. K&R!

But the, "Reeling Trump Devastated.." part of the headline could have been left out, since there is no evidence of that in the story.

[ck4829]

25. K&R

[yallerdawg]

29. "Reeling Trump Devastated!"

Great job, PoliticusUSA!
