Read it again. It had previously been reported that the dossier was originally commissioned by a Republican until the primaries ended at which point the funding was continued by the Democrats. This was always understood to be a partisan document. That the DNC and Clinton campaign both provided funding is not a bombshell, it’s not even particularly interesting. But the Post did take the opportunity to inject superfluous “details” that aims to boost the credibility of the dossier. Consider the reporting of the dossier’s origin and how the original focus was not on Russia until Steele “discovered” an apparent abundance of Trump/Russia ties. This creates the impression, without verification, that the Trump/Russia entanglements are so numerous and obvious that they cry out for investigation. Curious that none of this bounty can be mentioned by way of example, or evidence. It doesn’t get any better from there. There is an old story that LBJ wanted to spread a rumor that his election opponent had carnal knowledge of a pig. His campaign manager looked horrified and protested that no one would believe that. To which LBJ replied “know one has to believe it, just make the S.O.B. deny it
That is what is happening here. The media will talk about it because the fact that it is being talked about works against the President. Instead of scoring little points about the funding of this dossier, we need to put the whole thing to bed.
Disagree. Trump needs to keep it in the spotlight, along with the wiretapping, the Hillary collusion, etc. There's not going to be a prosecution obviously since Comey gave everyone immunity. But two tier justice is a powerful message. It is Trump and all of us against them.
