And of course the fact that the story is known to be a complete setup, a troll, a fake, catfish bait is not part of this story.

Trump suspects the American intelligence community.

Well, who else? If you want to call that a "community" ... after eight years ...

I would make three observations:

1. Just about every single big-wig in DC...has a KGB dossier. That includes John McCain himself...President Obama...Hillary Clinton...and even Bill Clinton.

2. The odds of a KGB dossier being ‘loaned’ out? Zero percent chance. So, this is a fake dossier.

3. The only person harmed by this dossier talk...is the guy who gave it to the US authorities...McCain. I think he has some issues which have to be explained, and it might be finally time to retire. If he sticks around, there are literally thousands of people who will try to approach him with other fake dossiers and he’ll end up as the GOP dossier-guy.

Twenty-four hours ago the dossier was "devastating," now it's "bizarre."

Progress.

Not tired of winning. MAGA.

Although my job entailed going to the DMZ every now and then I had never taken the formal tour of the Joint Security Area run out of the recreation center until I'd been there for awhile. Being in military intelligence I could not wear my M.I. brass or nametag and borrowed "unassigned" brass from a sergeant major. When I got there a North Korean guard called to me by my name.

Remember, every major intelligence agency on Earth has dossiers on all major political and business leaders. You know the likes of Mark Zuckerberg has compiled dossiers at both the Russian FSB and Chinese Ministry of State Security.

You almost have to wonder, though, if he shouldn't be going easy on them, especially BuzzFeed, which posted the original document in its entirety "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 report is so bizarre and incoherent that it has the effect of undermining the accusations that Trump has unsavory ties with Russia.

I do blame CNN more than BuzzFeed. CNN was taking the document seriously.

If you’re a Comcast customer, watch your wallet.

That’s an interesting story. Were you shocked? Surprised?

For the first few seconds. But you have to guess that at least 1 out of 10 Koreans working on my installation probably provided information in exchange for money back when it was a very poor country.

I think the real reason this story is being beaten to death so hard is that it contains a French word which sounds very sophisticated. Who even says “dossier” anyway? When the Clintons stole the FBI files, weren’t they “dossiers”? But nobody called them that then because it would sound like espionage, so they just left them as “files”.

"No one can say with confidence where the dossier BuzzFeed published originated..."

The Weakly Standard needs to catch up. It's now well understood that the 'report' was a hoax perpetrated by a 4Chan user.

Exactly. They know our guys, sometimes very well. We know their guys, sometimes better than their own mothers. Even allies have files on each other (wasn't it the Obama administration that was tapping German politicians?)

Russia is not a White Hat. Not by any measure. However, the level that Liberals have gone to to blame Russia for Hillary's November loss is pathetic. Ludicrous. Moreover, it hurts them. It prevents them from analyzing why they lost, and rather than having a deep think they have simply decided to blame Russia, the FBI and a convoluted conspiracy to steal the US election. That will hurt the Democrats greatly as it blinds them from what went wrong and how they can fix it. It is not myopia ...it is straight blindness.
