Have you read the GPS dossier? Everyone should read that. It’s very enlightening.
The only thing that they actually say about Trump is that he hired prostitutes to urinate on Obama’s bed in a Russian hotel. That is a ridiculous charge. It’s similar to the pizzagate allegations. I don’t think anyone is going to believe that. Even if they did so what? It’s not grounds for a counter espionage investigation of Trump. The rest of the GPS dossier is all about what the Russians are thinking. They supposedly supported Trump. But that is not a knock on Trump. It’s a knock on the Russians. There is no way this could legitimately have triggered a counter espionage investigation of Trump.
The golden showers story actually serves multiple roles. That fact alone is a strong argument that it was made up; real life just isn’t that convenient.
Intended purposes: 1) outrage Obama voters into voting, since they were indifferent to Hillary; 2) alienate decent people from Trump out of disgust with even having to hear about such things; ESPECIALLY, 3) raise the question of whether Trump’s bad behavior left him open to blackmail; 4) attract huge media coverage by being sick and nasty; 5) return serve on the jokes about Hillary being incontinent; and, 6) defending yourself is impossible and only spreads the story.
It’s all too clever by half, and smells exactly like the sort of smear Blumenthal would come up with. Blumenthal might have had help from Russian intel, or he might have given them the idea to spread via Steele, but I bet the urine rail ends at his door.
