How an Unverified but Explosive Dossier Became a Crisis for Donald Trump (NY Slimes doubles-down)

WASHINGTON — Seven months ago, a respected former British spy named Christopher Steele won a contract to build a file on Donald J. Trump’s ties to Russia. Last week, his lurid account — unsubstantiated accounts of frolics with prostitutes, real estate deals that were intended as bribes and coordination with Russian intelligence of the hacking of Democrats — was summarized for Mr. Trump in an appendix to a top-secret intelligence report.

The consequences have been incalculable and will play out long past Inauguration Day. Word of the summary, which was also given to President Obama and to congressional leaders, leaked to CNN on Tuesday, and the rest of the media followed with sensational reports.

Mr. Trump denounced the unproven claims Wednesday as a fabrication, a Nazi-style slander concocted by “sick people.” It has further undermined, at least temporarily, his relationship with the intelligence agencies and cast a shadow over the new administration.

Parts of the story remain out of reach — most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier is true. But it is possible to piece together a rough narrative of what led to the current crisis, including lingering questions about the ties binding Mr. Trump and his team to Russia. The episode also offers a glimpse of the hidden side of presidential campaigns, involving private sleuths-for-hire looking for the worst they can find about the next American leader.

How can the NYTimes continue to push this ?

According to Mr. Steele’s sources, it involved, among other things, a late-summer meeting in Prague between Michael Cohen, a lawyer for Mr. Trump, and Oleg Solodukhin, a Russian official who works for Rossotrudnichestvo, an organization that promotes Russia’s interests abroad.

So, let me get this straight: Trump publicly THANKS the NYT for NOT running this salacious story. And they respond by running it, in full??

They were just waiting to get MORE of the lies gathered to print? Simply amazing.... the depth to which these leftist will sink.

Not only is the New York Times constructing a malicious article based upon a fabricated story, they disseminate further propaganda with additional yet more subtle lies.

Quoting from the article: “Mr. Trump denounced the unproven claims Wednesday as a fabrication, a Nazi-style slander concocted by “sick people.” It has further undermined, at least temporarily, his relationship with the intelligence agencies and cast a shadow over the new administration.”

The truth, if it mattered to the “slimes” is: First, the intelligence agencies themselves are the one’s who have been undermined and not President Elect Trump’s relationship with them. Second, the shadow that is being cast is upon the ‘fake stream media’ and not somehow over the new administration as the ‘slimes’ have concocted it.

Let’s never forget that this conglomerate of fake stream media corporations are in collusion with one another. The people within these demented organizations have no integrity or conscious and their institutions need to be disemboweled for the lies they constantly spew.

This misinformation is designed to generate hatred throughout the general public with one goal in mind. The power they have enjoyed is being threatened by the new administration and the movement of like minded individuals that supports them.

Yes, cornered animals are dangerous but they also do stupid things. I believe the new Trump administration will be taking advantage of the mistakes they make.
