So the website BuzzFeed decided to publish a series of memos that have been floating around for months alleging all kinds of terrible things about Donald Trump.
Some of those terrible allegations have to do with efforts to influence the American elections and Trump. Some of them have to do with Trumps personal sexual conduct.
Readers of this newspaper know well not to include me among Trumps supporters. But the scurrilousness of what BuzzFeed has done here is so beyond the bounds of what is even remotely acceptable it should compel even those most outraged by Trumps political excesses to come to his defense and to the defense of a few other people mentioned in these papers whose names are also dragged through the mud.
There is literally no evidence on offer in these memos or from BuzzFeed that any single sentence in these documents is factual or true. Whats more, we know most major news organizations in America had seen them and despite their well-known institutional antipathy toward Trump, had chosen not to publish them or even make reference to them after efforts to substantiate their charges had failed.
BuzzFeed tells us that the document was prepared for political opponents of Trump by a person who is understood to be a former British intelligence agent. Indeed, the memos are designed to read as though they were cables sent from the field to the home office. And they should set off the bull detector of every rational person who reads them....

They are professional idiots.
4chan has already taken credit for faking this to troll the media....
Recall McCain!
I wish I knew how the HELL he keeps winning out here. Weak primary candidates. For the first time I did not vote for him in November. I don’t know what the hell to do with him!
Man these guys take the low road to an even lower low.
Yeah, MSNBC and Brian Williams had this BS on his show tonight
The Media needs to start — from the inside — cleaning up the fake news mess. Major media have been just as irresponsible as Internet blogs in spreading malicious rumors as ‘news’.
It is the Media’s credibility that is at stake, and few of them can claim to be innocent. They have all certainly spread, and many of them have propagated, fake news, knowing full well that it was fake.
Good grief, the comments on the site are plenty whole bunch amusing!
Could be more than a few AZ Dems believe McCain does more damage to Republicans than any Democrat they could send to DC, so they vote for him to be the irritant he is.
4Chan just discredited the CIA.
It is a great take down because it shows they don’t or didn’t verify anything.
The media have just been proven liars (Again)
I don’t post things in news unless I consider them quite important. If you feel that way ask the moderator to change it.
the problem is that cnn, msnbc, abc are not acknowledging problems with the reporting.
We need Drudge and Fox news to counter this stupidity
Looks like Buzzfeed wants a cut of the Fake News business.
The good news is John McCain stepped on his own dic.
Tweets already out. As Trump has never been to Russia, Cohen has never been to Prague.
I got this a few hours earlier tonight, it is very very new, but if everyone does their part, it can come to fruition.
Please send everywhere you can, over and over. I know recalling McCain has been tried before but, like everyone keeps saying, 2017 is going to be different.

One of the better (and concise) comments I have seen so far: https://twitter.com/kinseyschofield/status/819051744718004224
Cnn broke it as exclusive to cnn
Trump has been to russia
Simply put...John McCain must resign. He cannot serve as a member of the U.S. Senate after his actions in this matter.
