Do ever feel a sense of great worry and concern after reading a headline, followed by relief when you see it was written by a fake news publisher?

Trump won and you, Slimes, and your heroine Hillary lost. Election is over. Pick up your fake news and find the nearest toilet to stick your collective heads in. And flush hard.

bwhahahaha. If that were the case he could just take a hard line on Russia, destroying them to make that a moot point. It’s the path of least resistance and no one would ever have to know why. This stuff is a joke and is further proof that Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama are not to blame for the foreign policy messes because they probably didn’t control foreign policy. I’m sure they wanted different things too but they weren’t tough enough to withstand the onslaught of pressure to go along with the adventurists’ policies. If Trump’s policies start looking like theirs I will not blame him, i’ll just say that not even Trump was strong enough to go against them. The fact that he is still saying positive things about Russia and has not yet backed down shows that he has a lot of courage. The CIA probably wants him dead at this point. Sad times.

They are a joke indeed. Pure theater. Cruz did the exact right thing today. Use his time to destroy liberals and defend Sessions. Thanks!

I think the CIA has outlived its usefulness anyway.

This goes nowhere without Republicans. McCain and Linda are keeping this story alive because they want to control Trump’s foreign policy. Don’t kid yourself, the Republicans are completely in on this

I know its probably fake news but it makes me nervous. There are a lot of people and I think McCain is one of them who would like to see a coup.

The leftist democrats and their RINO sycophants are in full blown panic mode right now, and are throwing every stupid thing that they can think of at Trump in a woefully failing attempt to de-legitimize his Presidency, and possibly foment a coup.

They keep blaming the Russians, but the Russians aren’t biting. Now they have been reduced to “leveling damning allegations”, and attacking all of the people who voted for Trump.

These leftist scumbags will never see it coming when it all blows up in their faces.

The Rats want watergate level committee hearing and if they get it who knows what can happen.

What Trump "scandal," financial or sexual, could the Dems/MSM find that could possibly be worse that what BJ Clinton or HIllary have done already ?

No doubt. They're all corrupt as hell. They cheat to get in office and they cheat to stay in. I want term limits for these rakes.

The Times’s excerpt boils down to this:

Unnamed operatives

working for an unnamed political organization or party

generated memos which aren’t quoted

that contained unsubstantiated reports

that Russia had collected unspecified compromising and salacious personal information about Mr. Trump.

These unsubstantiated reports then caused unnamed intelligence agencies

to create a summary (which is not quoted) based on those reports.

Fearful that unnamed felons within the unnamed intelligence agencies would leak the unquoted summary or the unquoted reports,

which were already widely known among unnamed journalists and politicians anyway,

the intelligence agencies presented the summaries to Trump and Obama,

whereupon some unnamed felon leaked the information to the Times,

which, although the information in the summary was not corroborated by the unnamed intelligence agencies,

and could not be substantiated by the Times either,

decided to run the story because it was so informative and rock-solid.
