The first clue is that Andy sides with lefty loons to allege that the dossier is factual - this is absurd. As proof of this, Andy links to an article that says the dossier is true because, for instance, Manafort and Carter Page had Russian business ties, and Page traveled to Russia during the campaign. But the dossier asserts that the REASON that Page traveled to Russia was to meet with high-ranking Putin cronies to plot against Hillary, and that has been shown to be an outrageous fabrication - Page, in fact traveled to Russia to give a commencement speech (which was not “anti-American” as Andy asserts, merely anti-0bama).
But as to the main point of the article, yes Trump could order this information released, and that may happen. But a very good reason for that not happening now is that it's evidence in an ongoing criminal investigation that will bring down the 0bama DOJ/FBI, and that's something waiting for.

Exactly. If i knew you went to Los Angeles, that doesn’t prove my dossier that you are part of Weinstein’s operation was true.
And i think also, he has been threatened with impeachment if he releases and “interferes” with Mueller. And now since he raided Comeys office, everyone knows what he knows. So Mueller is forced to finish the job somewhat honestly because he knows a fiction story will get destroyed.
Trump waits him out and knows what he is doing.
The George Kastanza argument. If I believe the lie, it must be true.
Agreed, it is at it's core a pro-FBI, anti-Trump article, which is the opposite of many of his other recent articles. The obvious change in tone is quite interesting.

Be careful thinking there is an actual criminal investigation going on right now targeting Strzok, Mueller, or anyone at the DoJ. All that we know is that the Inspector General is conducting an audit, which is a far cry from a criminal investigation. And, the IG lead is an Obama appointee. Right now the DoJ is under onslaught from Congress, the conservative media, and Trump's twitter, but Sessions seems more interested in protecting the perceived integrity of his department, than actually finding the truth, which could require prosecuting several potential criminals under his helm.
