It is not opposition research.
Nothing was researched.
It was all made up.
In short, politics as usual. How do we know the 2016 campaign is unusual? The sorts of snooping and fictionalizing may be the norm, for all we know. None of what happened would have been revealed if an approved candidate (of either party) had won.
Simply put, Obama's WH/HILLARY/DOJ/FBI/CIA needed justification to SPY ON TEAM TRUMP SO THEY CREATED IT with a bogus dossier.
This is the BIGGEST POLITICAL SCANDAL IN U.S. HISTORY, involving Obama's WH, the CIA, the DOJ, the FBI, State Dept., and other agencies.
This was/is a COUP ON A DULY-ELECTED PRESIDENT AND ALL INVOLVED SHOULD BE EXECUTED BY FIRING SQUAD.
So far, not ONE person has gone to prison over this. Simply incredible.
