NY Times Admits: Steele Dossier Appears To Be False (And Maybe Was A Russian Disinformation Effort)

So the Russians “attacked” Hillary’s campaign by leaking true information about the Hillary campaign. They collaborated with the Trump campaign by selling the Hillary campaign false derogatory information about the Trump campaign.

Got it.

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Just a big stall to try and keep their Democrat Queen, Hillary Clinton, from dying in prison.

Thankfully their dark Queen is no longer reproducing.

The Russians had far more leverage over Hillary. No doubt they had her emails and the deals that were done to benefit the Clinton Foundation.

And does anyone really believe that the Russians thought that Trump’s ump would win? Any damage they could do against Hillary was just a shot across the bow that they could use when she became President. Giving Bill a $500K speaking gig in Moscow was the carrot.

The Steele Dossier was a joke that everyone was in on except Trump. Since Trump knew there was no collusion on his part save the possibility that some peripheral member of the campaign may have done something wrong, hence Trump’s comment to Comey that they needed to get to the bottom of the allegations, it was hard to take the dossier seriously. And Comey only briefed Trump on the salacious hotel allegation.

Trump was the target of a criminal investigation beginning in July 31, 2016. James Baker confirmed that in his testimony.

Yep. The truth that Clinton campaign operatives colluded with Russia to interfere in our election is in plain sight. Only politics, jealousy and hatred of POTUS keeps those facts from being universally accepted.

[Chewbarkah]

Now that collusion has gone bust, the NYT wants to fill the void with “Russian disinformation” to hide the obvious explanation: Democrat Disinformation. This was a coup attempt by corrupt Democrats in CIA, FBI, DoJ, DNI, NSC, media, DNC, Clinton cabal, etc. They might have used some Russian informants for fake thrills, but this was a Democrat operation from soup to nuts.

Yup, they had already bought her in the Uranium One deal, for which Mule Ear was knee deep enabling.

[thoughtomator]

Strange then, that they could not buy her in Ukraine or Syria. Why do you suppose that is?

[Ancesthntr]

Hey, Slimes assholes, how about giving back that Pulitzer that you and the Washington Compost won for your “reporting” on an utterly FALSE story, one that is diametrically the opposite to the truth (that it was the DEMS whol colluded with Russia, not Trump)?

Yeah, I thought so.

[Ancesthntr]

“If the FBI knew this might be a bunch of hearsay by early 2017, why did they brief the president and thereby provide the news hook needed for CNN to publish the allegations (and Buzzfeed to publish the dossier)? Shouldn’t they have been downplaying this rather than elevating it?”

Go back even further: if the FBI had even a hint of suspicion that the Russians (or any other foreign government, for that matter) was attempting to infiltrate/manipulate the campaign of a major party candidate, THEN WHY DIDN’T THEY CONTACT TRUMP TO WARN HIM OF THIS? This is SOP - and it was ignored by the FBI, the entire federal intelligence apparatus, the entire Dem Party and the entire media...because they all wanted Trump to lose or, if he won, to be hounded out of office. This was, FROM THE BEGINNING, a coup attempt.

Ukraine? Your facts are wrong. Putin has Crimea thanks to the Democrats. Once Putin started shooting in Ukraine the Democrats lost all interest in it. Obama fobbed off Minsk negotiations on Merkel. Same with Syria. Once he escalated the Democrats did little but watch.

[SPRINK]

people don’t need to fall for the Russian disinformation BS....This was always a domestic operation with the CIA and FBI setting up Trump associates.

Everything meeting that we’ve heard about have been set ups from either the FBI,CIA or Fusion GPS...Misfud, Halper, Downer and Trump Tower were all set ups

NY Times Admits: Steele Dossier Appears To Be False (And Maybe We’re Still Trying to Figure Out How to Lie About the Russians Did it!)

[knighthawk]

Russian disinformation... Covering up for the DNC and Clintons...
