Did 4Chan Troll The CIA?

What's worth talking about, however, are swirling claims on Reddit that 4chan users on the board /pol/ completely made the entire thing up. According to a variety of posts on the pro-Trump subreddit r/The_Donald, a user on /pol/, a 4chan board, made up the most salacious story in the report. He then mailed it to anti-Trump Republican strategist Rick Wilson, who then went to the CIA. The story was then included on the dossier published Tuesday by BuzzFeed News.

If this is true, this effectively means that 4chan trolled the U.S. intelligence system and the majority of the U.S. media with what's basically Donald Trump erotic fanfiction, which is terrifying...

Additionally, WikiLeaks says that the report published by BuzzFeed is "not an intelligence report" and that it is not consistent with the style of other reports...

Guess we'll have to wait and see if 4chan pulled off what is possibly the greatest troll game in internet history.

looks like a photograph of a page

the faded words are probably the next page, looks like they were run through a copier at some point so likely thin paper that would show through some with the bright copier light

I’ve always suspected Podesta is a homo. He just has the look that sends gaydar right to the peg.

But this story is not “finished” yet. When will it dry up?
