These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia
Buzzfeed ^ | January 10, 2017 | Ken Bensinger, Miriam Elder, Mark Schoofs

Posted on 01/10/2017 4:34:18 PM PST by Pinkbell

A dossier making explosive — but unverified — allegations that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information about him has been circulating among elected officials, intelligence agents, and journalists for weeks.

The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, includes specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians. CNN reported Tuesday that a two-page synopsis of the report was given to President Barack Obama and Trump.

Now BuzzFeed News is publishing the full document so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government. The document was prepared for political opponents of Trump by a person who is understood to be a former British intelligence agent. It is not just unconfirmed: It includes some clear errors. The report misspells the name of one company, “Alpha Group,” throughout. It is Alfa Group. The report says the settlement of Barvikha, outside Moscow, is “reserved for the residences of the top leadership and their close associates.” It is not reserved for anyone, and it is also populated by the very wealthy.

The report is 35 pages (fully available at link), and I have not yet read it. However, there is an excerpt on Twitter, and the excerpt provided is really out there.

It claims Trump got a hotel room in Moscow (the presidential suite at the Ritz Carlton where Barack & Michelle stayed). Its says Trump hated Obama so much that he got a bunch of prostitutes and had them do a urine show in front of him by urinating all over the bed the Obamas slept in. It says Russia was monitoring the room in order to get blackmail material on Trump. This reads like the work of perverted fiction.

Liberals (of course) believe this. To me, it's sounds so utterly out there and ridiculous, I can't imagine what the rest of the report says.

I think an interesting point is that John McCain obtained a copy of said memo and gave it to Comey yesterday. Of course he did. Liberals now accusing Trump of treason & going after Comey.

Based on the excerpt and the article provided, it sounds to me that this is false. I think we'll unfortunately have to read it to address it, though.

This sounds like another 'seriousness of the charge' attempt.

So far, much of the stuff 'alleged' to have Russian involvement has little to zero in the way of evidence.

Generalized reports are meaningless.

doesn’t sound like anything Trump would do, he’s been widely reported to be more than a bit of a germophobe.

This is ‘fake news’....there is not one bit of evidence where this suppose ‘report’ came from other than the Buzzfeed crew...

Trump has not been to Russia, if you remember he told us that in one of his rallies...he has no businesses there and he has not met Putin in person...

This is another RAT report to bring shame to our President Trump...this is right out of the ‘RAT playbook’...what they do, they will blame on others...

The so called ‘dump’ made Sunday night on the ‘other server’ that was taken out of Clintons home server was not suppose to get out and did...

update-1Update to clarify the context of the FBI release from Katica, the internet researcher who discovered the documents:

(Via Katica) Please keep in mind that this release was not a Sunday doc dump. It is still not on the FBI Vault site. https://vault.fbi.gov/hillary-r.-clinton And the FBI Vault Twitter account has not Tweeted it out. https://twitter.com/FBIRecordsVault Nor has the FBI released a statement on it. I imagine they are freaking out right about now. I’m probably on a list for sure now and it isn’t for employment.

The document was only accessible from my archive.is link. Now that it has been shared a million or more times (lol) it is becoming searchable on Google. We have no idea if/when they were going to release it. The FBI has made no mention of the document as of yet either. I do hope that a news site does an article on that aspect of it.

And then we find out that Barky has been giving Iran

So Democrats leaked the old NBC out takes to Russia then generated a report.

Specific, unverified and potentially unverifiable... yet let’s broadcast it anyway, so people “can make up their minds.”

Standard leftist hit piece.

It’s probably better this stuff comes out now(whether it’s true or not) than be used against him later by Russia in some kind of blackmail attempt.

Unverified allegations, from an unverified report from an unnamed source.

I'd chip in for that, not the watching part but the trashing Obama part.

I don’t believe any of it. It’s just more Russia bs. It’s what the left wants to hear and read, but nothing resembling honesty or substance.

This would be some trick before he’s even sworn in.

Seeing what they are doing to Trump because he wants a new foriegn policy makes me now believe that the US President hasn’t run foreign policy in quite sometime. I doubt there is anyone else who would still be talking friendly regarding Russia and changing policy under the pressure Trump is currently under. From now on I will not blame foreign policy on the President as it’s clearly not the President who sets foreign policy. I suspect Obama wanted to do things differently but wasn’t tough enough to withstand the “intelligence” community. At the very least I won’t blame Clinton, Bush and Obama for foreign policy decisions over the last couple of decades. Yugoslavia, Iraq, Syria, Libya do not fall at the feet of the President. If Trump’s foreign policy starts to look like everyone else’s the only thing that will say to me is that not even Trump was strong enough to withstand the Pressure from those who control and urge Military adventurism and aggressive postures.

Wall Street Journal reporter...
“Devlin Barrett ;@DevlinBarrett · 2h2 hours ago
Word of caution: Document(s) behind the Trump/Russia thing been circulating for a while. Yet to find anyone to substantiate allegations”

The liberals’ “VP Bush flew a stealth jet to pay off the Iranians after Reagan’s election” conspiracy was way more fun.

The Democrats, on the basis that Trump said something complimentary about Putin, spun quite a few fantasies about his supposed close ties with Russia. They went so far as to use government resources to investigate his imagined ties to Russia. An article that was all but buried when it was published a couple of weeks before the election stated that the investigation had turned up NO evidence of any Trump ties to Russia.

Not that lack of evidence ever stopped the Democrats.

Given the Democrats’ propensity to project and the fact that they have latched on to this like bulldogs, I have to wonder if there is more to Democrat collusions with Russia than those we already know about (Podesta’s sweetheart deals with Russia and Hillary’s selling 1/5 of our uranium supply to Russia in exchange for hefty “donations” to her “foundation). Perhaps it’s time to investigate the Democrats.

The thing no one should do is act like any of these ridiculous allegations have any substance. Treat them like the delusional ranting of power-hungry leftist totalitarians that they are.
