John McCain said he did 'what any citizen would do' in turning over the dirty dossier, which contained unconfirmed secrets about the president-elect, over to the FBI.

Dossier of unverifiable sleaze

Lurid sex claims

The report states that in 2013 Trump hired prostitutes to urinate on the bed of the Presidential Suite at the Moscow Ritz Carlton, where he knew Barack and Michelle Obama had previously stayed.

It says: 'Trump's unorthodox behavior in Russia over the years had provided the authorities there with enough embarrassing material on the now Republican presidential candidate to be able to blackmail him if they so wished.'

Trump ridiculed the idea, pointing out that Russian hotel rooms are known to be rigged with cameras and describing himself as a 'germophobe'.

Property 'sweeteners'

The document states that Trump had declined 'sweetener' real estate deals in Russia that the Kremlin lined up in order to cultivate him.

The business proposals were said to be 'in relation to the ongoing 2018 World Cup soccer tournament'.

Russia 'cultivated' Trump for five years

The dossier claimed that the Russian regime had been 'cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for at least five years'.

According to the document, one source even claimed that 'the Trump operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir Putin' with the aim being to 'sow discord'.

A dossier on Hillary Clinton

At one point the memo suggests Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov 'controlled' another dossier containing compromising material on Hillary Clinton compiled over 'many years'.

Elsewhere in the document, it is claimed that Putin was 'motivated by fear and hatred of Hillary Clinton.'

Peskov poured scorn on the claims today and said they were 'pulp fiction'.

Clandestine meetings

At one point the memo says there were reports of 'clandestine meetings' between Donald Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen and Kremlin representatives in August last year in Prague.

However, Trump's counsel Michael Cohen today spoke out against allegations that he secretly met with Kremlin officials - saying that he had never been to Prague.

It has now emerged that the dossier was referring to a different person of the same name.

I’ve heard it’s treason to even think of acquiring information on a US candidate from a foreigner. He should have called the FBI. /sarc

For years we have been waiting for that one story that would get the Bad Guys. It should be obvious now that ‘They” can do anything they want, so why bother.....

SO?

We’ve known it all along.

the evidencehas beenthere all along to be investigated.

Was not NOt - because McAnus is is one of the Swamp - on their side.

and just as much will be doe about this today as it has been all these months.

AND that he gave this crappola to Comey - and that should have been the end of. Comey knew there was no there there - but, just as dirty as the erst - he ran with it.

NADA

BUT, hopefully, a few more people will begin to realize why Mcanus is doing everything he can to sink Pres. Trump - all to cover his own McAnus/

It's sad he was trying to stop the commie subversives in our government and with the help of the commie media, he failed.

Now the statists have completely taken control of our government, over the decades, with the help of the enemedia. McCarthy should go down in history as trying to stop the commie coup of our government when all is said and done and exposed. Then may justice be served.

I pray for President Donald Trump every day and that may he be the deliverer of justice to all those traitors that corrupted our government. That's why the corruptocrats, and all their ilk, fear him. They will do anything sinister to try to keep their own necks out of the noose.

I believe it when Hilliary claimed they would all hang if Donald Trump was elected. Dear Lord in heaven, may justice be done, amen.
