Trump says 'phony allegations' in dirty dossier were compiled by 'political opponents and ...

Donald Trump accused 'sleazebag political operatives' of making up gossip that appeared in a dossier that 'probably' leaked by by intelligence operatives, in a series of tweets this morning. Trump said the hit job was the work of his 'political opponents and a failed spy.' He suggested Wednesday, at a news conference, that someone in the U.S. intelligence community leaked the dossier to the press. James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said later that the intelligence community did not produce the document and he didn't believe it shopped it to the press, either. The president-elect indicated in his early-morning tweets today that he doesn't believe him.

Neither.

But more importantly, this entire situation and the desperation that caused it tells me that there are a lot of well connected people in D.C. and the media that are literally sh1tting in their pants because they believe Trump is actually going to follow through with his pledge to “drain the swamp”.

People like McCain, Graham, and the Bush family are on the top of the list. Makes me very curious about what they have to hide or lose.

It appears that the entire story was a fabrication and Russia and Trump were not involved.

I forgot to add, that along the way someone added the Russian spy angle, perhaps someone who already had the Russian cyberespionage story in one hand and then ended up with this story in the other. I can see them combining the two because it makes a much more damning case that way and after all, they probably believed the 4chan story actually was true, so never expected to have to defend anything.

Thanks, Gramps. This fake dossier was ‘noticed’ years ago and held for now. They didn’t think DJT would win so they didn’t use it till now. Notice what a bitch Rubio is being. He knows he’s outside now.

Yes. It started out as a friggin’ joke to punk that idiot Rick Wilson: Hear it straight from one of the horses mouths:

Doesn’t anyone in journalism do journalism?

Tip of the cap to Freeper wtd for posting this yesterday.

I think a reposting of your old thread in the editorial section would be really useful these days:

Agreed. They all make the list.

But again, what is it that they are all so afraid of? Is it simply because they lost the election, or is it something darker?

I don’t get it. They lost. Trump won. He will be POTUS in 6 days. That’s it. End of story. The only thing I can see them accomplishing is pissing off half of the country (including me).

Exactly right, that’s what convinced me. This guy “Tom” just reeks of credibilty, he sounds exactly like one FReeper telling another about a thread we’d posted on. No BS not trying to spin, just explaining what happened. And it is totally credible because all the salacious elements, especially anime and Japanese porn are all endemic to the 4chan culture. And Rick Wilson is such an arrogant prick it is entirely credible that they’d prank him after he posted something obnoxious. Credibility assessment = 100%

The rest was all embellishment by political operatives who were being paid to find dirt, and if we’ve learned nothing else this past year it has ben that when those in power are threatened they will do ANY thing to protect it, including making up stuff (aka fake news).

The CIA’s dirty fingerprints are all over the “hacking” and this phony Trump story.

John Brennen (CIA DIr) has been a Dem. Political Hack for a long time. I still think he was behind the whole Benghazi misinformation campaign.

Yep. Here’s the “chain of custody” as I theorize it.

1. Rick Wilson insults 4chan (or similar internet trolls).

2. Rick Wilson’s son and 4channers write up “fanfiction” document that Rick would salivate over. They put in obvious errors to clue savvy readers to its lack of veracity.

3. 4chan gets Rick’s son to hand off document to Rick and friends.

4. Christopher Steele, who is an underemployed nutty British ex-spy who does most of his current “intel” work on Google and message boards, gets document and makes it more sexy by adding Russian spin.

5. Rick gets doctored document and hands it off to his journolist of NeverTrumpers.

6. Evan McMullin (McMuffin) gets document, hands it off to John McCain.

6. John McCain, hot and heavy to take down Trump, hands off document to his intelligence contacts. At this point the document goes viral inside Washington DC.

7. Most of the people who read it see the obvious errors and don’t trust it. HOWEVER, Trump AGAINST ALL ODDS wins the election. At this point, Democrats become super-desperate to take Trump down. They talk to their MSM contacts.

8. Buzzfeed, which lives on clickbait, publishes the document.

9. Most other MSM outlets, seeing that the document is now getting published, decide to let ‘er rip so they can be the next Woodward and Bernstein in throwing the super-racist Hitler-like Trump out of office.

My cartoon bubble has a unbathed Jeb pecking-away at his keyboard in his bathrobe, tidy-whities, and bunny slippers. While muttering swear words and Trump’s name

You are very close.

The 2 page report is a summary of a 35 page report which was taken from a much larger report back in 2012 which dealt with Russian Influence in the DEM PRIMARY. That ORIGINAL report dealt with visits made by HILLARY and BILL to Russia, and was never brought up because.... Obama became the winner of the DEM Primary.

The 35 page report basically condensed what was in the original, but changed the PRINCIPAL from the CLINTONS to TRUMP. Soon after, when the 4CHAN poster pranked Rick Wilson, he passed it on upward through the 'chain' and it was added to the 'report' to give it some SPICE.
