This is interesting to say the least.

Some folks on here say (paraphrasing) that I'm hung up on the actions of the president and hate him because he's not my guy.

Wrong.  Could not be more wrong.

I hate what this president has done before, what he's done during and what he will do after he's out of office.  This dossier is just one component of how much of a terrible person he is - and what a terrible president he is.

I challenge anyone on here to find equally darning (albeit circumstantial) evidence on any other president in modern history.  Yeah, Clinton diddled his intern and was accused of raping one woman years before he got in office.  But at the same time, he (at the very least) showed respect, however hypocritical, to the office and to the Country.  You cannot say that about our current president.  You simply can't.  More than 10 women have come forward to allege that our president sexually assaulted them.  He was caught on tape admitting that he's done it.  But it goes so much farther than that.

For just one moment think about how and why our current president has been under investigation since the day he took office.  Was any other president in modern times investigated like this?  No.

I know, the righties will say that "he's a threat to the establishment".  If that's the case, then why are all of his policies directly in line with the republican establishment?  Show me just one that's not.

The plain and simple truth is - he's as bad as he's been made out to be.  In this point in history, nothing is secret.  The walls are closing in on him slowly but surely.  

Look at where we are now as a society - JFK would have never made the ballot.  Neither would Nixon or Bill Clinton.  Heck, Eisenhower would have to have run as a democrat!

Our president seems to think that nothing he says/tweets has consequence.  Well, maybe not in the 1980's - but today, he's being hung out to dry.

The dossier, rather than being the nail in Trump's coffin, as so many folks fervently wish, may instead turn out to be the coup de gras for Comey, McCabe and a bunch of other high mucky mucks in the FBI. In fact if it turns out to be the case that the dossier was used as the justification for the FISA warrant that led to the Trump Tower spying, it's probably going to sink the Mueller investigation too.

Probably not going to help Sessions job prospects going forward, or John McCain's credibility either.

just a wee bit more......

We also know Christopher Steele, a former British spy, gathered information for the dossier from a hodgepodge of rumors from Russian sources that, according to Simpson’s own testimony, were never substantiated by the firm. Steele called the collection of rumors “raw” and “unverified.”

Simpson told Congress, in his prevaricating and often defensive testimony, that Steele allegedly went to the FBI because he believed the Kremlin had the goods on Trump. The Russians, he claimed, were blackmailing the candidate with evidence of sordid sexual escapades. More significant, the Trump team had colluded with the Russians in hacking emails of Democrats during the campaign and were working on a quid pro quo basis. It was like calling 911 when witnessing a potential crime, Steele noted.

Well, almost immediately, one of the most repeated and significant claims backing this testimony had to be walked back.

Simpson told Congress “an internal campaign source,” a “whistle-blower” within the Trump organization, had corroborated some of the information in the dossier for the FBI. This was a bombshell (if true) because it meant that there was a legitimate source substantiating those assertions. So even the dossier’s most shocking tales could be treated seriously by the FBI and used as a pretext to investigate Trump’s organization in the middle of a political campaign.

Soon after the transcript was released, however, NBC News’ Ken Dilanian‏, who has a close relationship with Fusion, reported that sources in the firm were correcting Steele, who’d mischaracterized ( fabricate maybe?)a meeting with a Trump source. No, there was no “walk-in” from the Trump campaign, as Steele had maintained in his testimony.

Whats next, the easter bunny told the fake news that there is no santa clause?

Give me facts and I will help drive the nail....
Until then all it does is sell more media hype, etc.

That's not the question.  Our president's company doing business with russian interests on its face is not illegal.  However, the question of money laundering is an intriguing one.  That, and if he was being financed by them - how could that not have an influence on him?

And again, the big question is why doesn't he release his taxes?

C'mon - if Obama had refused to release his taxes or birth certificate, the right's heads would have exploded and they'd be calling for impeachment louder than some dems are now - you have to agree with that.

Well, I certainly agree with you about that.

I just think that what it will tell is going to make a lot of the denizens of the so-called swamp very unhappy.

As far as the tax returns go, I doubt that there is anything incriminating in them. If there were they would already have been accidentally leaked by someone in the IRS. There are plenty of folks in that outfit that hate Trump's guts.

He won't release them because he doesn't care for a lot the people who are clamoring for their release, and he genuinely enjoys pis*ing those people off.

So... you would have been ok with Obama not releasing his birth certificate or his taxes?

Sorry o&s - I call shenanigans on that.....

You can call it whatever you want, and I don't presume to speak for anyone else, but I never, ever, gave a da*m about Obama's tax returns or his birth certificate.
