It isn’t a Crisis, it’s an Opportunity for PE Trump to take out the garbage.

Parts of the story remain out of reach — most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier is true.

Translation: Don't let a trivial thing like the truth get in the way of a good smear campaign.

The consequences have been incalculable and will play out long past Inauguration Day.

Or at least we here at the nation's most worthless newspaper hope so.

Trump is not letting a good crisis go to waste. He is using this as an opportunity to expose the Fake News Media for the frauds, poseurs and smear merchants they are.

I think Trump turned it around to his advantage. Nothing else that they throw at him is going to stick.

Your comment reminded me of a movie I recently saw - The Finest Hours.

True story about a coast guard rescue in 1952 off Cape Cod.

Good movie.

How an Unverified but Explosive Dossier Became a Crisis for Donald Trump

Nope. There is no crisis for Trump - he's about to be sworn into office in 9 days. It's a crisis for American news organizations. Today's press conference was a tour de force - Trump called out CNN and Buzzfeed, held the media accountable and told them what many Americans have wanted to tell them for years. They're trying to spin this as they are usually able to spin the news against befuddled Republican politicians, and it's not going to work - Trump doesn't play by their rules.

The crisis lies with the group who paid Mr. Steele, ex MI6 agent
for this Fake report.

Mr. Steele did not do this on his own.
So who paid him?

The Brits?
The CIA?
Certain groups within the GOP?

Follow the money.

This is the slimes payback for the bogus accusation against sites like Breitbart, ‘alt-right’ sites, blah,blah that they were spreading fake news during the election.Now they think it’s time to engage in same even though they were all about fake news against Trump. Petulant children with computers.

“Parts of the story remain out of reach — most critically the basic question of how much, if anything, in the dossier is true. But it is possible to piece together a rough narrative of what led to the current crisis, including lingering questions about the ties binding Mr. Trump and his team to Russia.”

And THAT is the whole point of this smear. Meanwhile, DNI Clapper approached Trump tonight and condemned the baseless allegations, while assuring Trump none of it originated from US intel sources.
