Found it online. Produced by 4chan person probably.

John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and Marco Rubio are conspiring with the Media, the “Intelligence Community,” and the Democrat Party to destroy the presidency of Donald Trump.
The question is:
What are we, the people, going to do about it.

Meanwhile the Obama Administration transferred control of our uranium to Putin. Except for the uranium it gave to Iran.
I’m sure they’ll get around to reporting on that any day now.

The fake news should have been investigated in only one manner, ie to ask who started it and why. Also, to ask of John McCain, “why” did you send this to the FBI as opposed to sending it to Trump himself?
This to me is the bigger story, and still is the bigger story.

he Trump -CNN confrontation indicates a tremendous paradigm shift. CNN had the election called completely wrong, investing millions of dollars in creating fake facts. CNN was out of touch with the American people, instead the bought into a dream world created by the master psychopomp, Barrack Hussein Obama, and CNN are still not extricating themselves from their dream world.
Trump knows how to fight this battle, he fought them throughout his primary and throughout his campaign, winning all the way.
If CNN and others need a 3rd smack down , then Trump is willing to oblige....in public. Treat Donald Trump with disrespect, publish falsehood as fact in personal attack, and soon Trump will assure CNN will not even be a news organization, no matter how much money CNN spends.
False news, jingoistic propaganda is OUT. Get the message MSM? We are no loonger in the liberal fascist come Nazi era. That has ended.
If I were the chief executive officer of CNN, I would completely overhaul CNN news. Wolf Bitcher would be the first to go and I would go down the list getting rid of each and every news fabricator. The in house CNN fabricators have made CNN look so completely unreliable, so ridiculously inaccurate, people do not want to listen to them anymore.I unsubscribed from their cable feed.So will millions of others.

Nope. Try again.
The Hillary camp is not mentioned.
They have admitted to knowing about this dossier and were upset news organizations did not run with it before the election.
So keep trying.

If I were the chief executive officer of CNN, I would completely overhaul CNN news. Especially since what is keeping them alive is money from the US government supposedly. Think that through...they are taking a huge gamble to keep backing the globalist this overtly and going after Trump this salaciously....or they have been assured of something by continuing down this route. This is an interesting move by CNN any way you look at it.

The president-elect, after admonishing the CNN "reporter" for his rudeness, called out CNN as fake news.I think at that point I was actually standing up cheering - greatest election ever.

Yes!! This is the biggest real issue of the year so far! How did this happen? Did Congress approve it? Can Obama be held accountable? How many nukes can Iran and Russia build with the total amount of uranium sold to them by Clinton/Obama?
WHERE ARE THE REAL JOURNALISTS?

Not following your disagreement. Honestly... if you know a different routing, publish it. I found it on the net / conservative websites.
Do you think I’m defending HRC? Or would you change the routing to include her passing it on? Not sure.
Apparently the chucklehead who created it sent it around trying to get many journalists to bite. You can find their tweets about it.
I think we’re on the same side.

Newt was on Hannity radio yesterday to speak about this. He said that he had no problem with McCain turning that over. Any senator would pass along such information in the normal course of events, expecting the intelligence agency to verify it.

FWIW:
A 4Chan participant self identifying as "Tom" is familiar with the origins of the "Golden Showers" segment of the anti-Trump dossier and shares specific details with Jeff Kuhner.
- Listen here to the cued up portion of Kuhner Report 1/11/2017
Rough transcript of relevant details:
- Kuhner: "Tom on PeeGate in Mass, go ahead Tom..."
- Tom:..."OK I'll start at the beginning. What happened is Rick Wilson put out a tweet that kind of offended a lot of people on the political section of a website called 4Chan. Uh, so, it angered a lot of people-actually, the funny thing is it wasnt many Trump supporters. It was mostly Jeb supporters that were in on this.
Um, this started back in January of 2016. So, after that, we kind of got together and wrote some, you know it was all joke stories. Whats funny is like half these things, like, things that you read about the pee stuff that, all most of it came from Rick Wilsons son. We found that his son was writing stuff like this on the internet. So, we kind of like compiled a little joke story and it was just meant to annoy Rick Wilson. So, Rick Wilson got it and he took it he didnt understand that a lot of it was written by his son or was based off of things that his son wrote. Um, so, Rick Wilson passed it up the chain through McMullen.
- Kuhner: Ok, now Tom, before you continue I want to ask you this
Because what you said to us on the phone was you were kind of in on this, correct?
- Tom: Yeah, a lot of us got together and we were and we came up with a joke story
- Kuhner: Basically a joke story, what they call fan fiction.
- Tom: Yeah,
- Kuhner: And, Rick Wilson, what you said, is an establishment Republican, a big #NeverTrumper, close with the Bushs Jeb Bush, but also with ties to Marco Rubio and John McCain, correct?
- Tom: Correct.
- Kuhner: Ok, and then so, you pushed it to Rick Wilson. He obviously took the bait. Then, what did he do with the info?
- Tom: Ok, so then, um, somehow , I dont know if it was him or one of the members of his staff but they presented it to McMullen, uh, and then, uh, who you know what pages hes got ties to and uh, then McMullen passed it onto McCain and then McCain passed it on to Comey an now at some point in these transactions a lot of, uh, more Russian stuff was added so that not all of this a lot of the things were changed in it and like the Russians , uh, they put more of a Russian spin on it than what we had originally come up with.
- Kuhner: The five years that they had been cultivating Trump that they had been cultivating for five years and they wanted him to buy properties and hotels and they tried to put sweeteners in there to hook him in. Right, all of that was, I think that was added by the CIA correct, Tom?
- Tom: Yeah, yeah. These are all fake things that they just put a spin on it. Which is funny, that they just throw it into a story that they thought was true to begin with. And, um, what they ok, so, after that, like, we put in things like Manafort. If you know that towards the end, Manafort is misspelled three different times. And so, we put that in on purpose to see if (transmission is garbled) it would ?
- Kuhner: Tom, hold on, youre breaking up on me. Tom, can you hear me? Hello? Ah! Ok, we just lost Tom. Did we lose him? Lets try it..ok
were going to try to call him back because the sixty-four-thousand dollar question I think I know the answer but why would you have done this in the first place?. Why? Now, I think the answer is, look, Rick Wilson is a very obnoxious guy. Hes always, he was always insulting Trump supporters throughout the entire campaign. He was rabidly anti-Trump. So, ok, weve got him back? OK, I think it was lets just prank him and just basically pull of a hoax, never thinking it was going to get this far. Tom, do we have you back on?
- Tom: Yeah, okay, so
- Kuhner: Tom,
- Tom: So, we never thought it was going to go this far, exactly. And
- Kuhner: Tom, why did you do it (cross talk)
Tom, if you dont mind me asking, why did you do it in the first place?
- Tom: To annoy Rick Wilson. It wasnt meant to, like, scuttle anyone or see who would publish it or this and that. It was just to annoy Rick Wilson.
- Kuhner: Ok, were missing like why would this annoy him? Wouldnt he love this, that, you know . . .?
- Tom: No, were gonna show the stuff that his son like, where we had all the things that show what his son had said half these things (cross talk)
- Kuhner: Ah, so basically to embarrass him, to humiliate him. You believe something that your own son wrote as fiction.
- Tom: Correct. Yes.
- Unidentified female co-host: I have a question. Are you going to come out on other than this talk show that you and your friends made up this joke? (cross talk) Are you going to go public with it?
- Tom: We have someone right now who is working with a lawyer to prove that the documents he presented with Rick Wilson are, in fact, from January. Well, in fact, Im turning them over .
- Kuhner: Well, Tom, listen. I really want to thank you for calling the show because youve completely clarified this. Ive got to ask you one final question, Tom, ok?
- Tom: Absolutely.
- Kuhner: So, this started off as a hoax, as a prank, as a joke to go after Rick Wilson. Is it not frightening that what starts out as a prank, as a joke, ends up being in out intelligence report? Ah, we lost him again. Ok. Hopefully we can get him back on. I mean, I want you to think about this. That the CIA put this in their intelligence report and not only was this put in their intelligence report this completely bogus story unverified unsubstantiated clearly in fact, a hoax orchestrated but then, they send it around (this is the key point) to everybody on Capitol Hill all majors, the top senators got this briefing. People in the intelligence community supposedly got this briefing. Obama supposedly got this briefing.
So, complete fake news was taken up by the CIA , just unconditionally, without any vetting, without any fact-checking and then they pass it off as truth, as the real thing to bring down a president-elect. I want you to think about that.
And on top of it, he just admitted it. By the way, McCain has now admitted it. He was the guy that sent the staffer off to meet with this supposed British agent who also had this bogus dossier and he fed it to Comey to bring down Trump as well.
This is our intelligence community? Then theyre even caught adding a Russian spin to it, on top of it all, to make the story even worse for Trump and to, sort of make his connection with Putin even tighter?
Theyre making everything up!
And these are the people entrusted with the national security of The United States?
Listen, my friends, heads have to roll.
Jake Tapper has to go.
McManiac (McCain) has to resign over this. He needs to be forced to resign over this.
And the CIA, it is now time for major sweeping reforms and a purge of all of these political hacks at the CIA.

Agreed. This is the Trump era. And Trump is a master at regulating the funding spigot.They are about to lose any government money they have and the facts over this last year support taking it away.
I believe that CNN is actually unAmerican. There accuracy in reporting is well below 50%. They are a propaganda organ exclusively. One which is waxing progressively into the jingoistic.

The site tried to cover itself with a warning: The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors. Buzzfeeds own editor, Ben Smith, admitted that he has serious reason to doubt the allegations in it.
That didn't seem to bother that moron McCain as he launched into another one of his Manchurian candidate tirades,

There are two stories here. The fake report designed to attack Trump, and the aftermath of yesterday’s presser.
The fake report is the big story. This is what we should be focused on.
If CNN reporter Acosta hadn’t been so rude and unprofessional Trump wouldn’t have called CNN “fake news”. CNN has managed to make themselves news.
