    3. I accurately characterized the memos-this is important stuff-but didn't publish details. Even Donald Trump deserves journalistic fairness


    All you had to do was read the OP but you seemed determined to embarrass yourself.

    We know know what the MJ article was based upon.

    https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations.html

    Junk. Morning Joe was nothing but shaking heads, incredulous, as why buzzfeed and CNN ran with it.

    Hillary paid for it but even she knew enough not to use it! CBS, NBC, NYT etc all had it for at least four months and couldn't verify any of it.

    Trump will bury MSM with it today at the Presser.

    Cheers

    Why do you guys have such a thing against Russians these days? Is it because Putin's not a Bolshevik because that ship has sailed in Russia. We need to form a bridge between our countris not build a wall.

    I watched both the NY and London editors of NYT this am on Morning Joe. Both laughed at the "dossier" as being anything but a fabrication.

    But you run with it! "Trump has prostitutes pee on Obama's bed" yep sounds believable to me. Then he, um, pleasured himself while watching anime. Yep, plausible. He then had his attorney sneak large sums of cash into Prague and Moscow to gather dirt on Hillary. Sure, I believe it.

    Cheers

    There were no facts in the OP, and there was little reason to believe the hyperbolic rants of an obscure right wing blog.

    I am very well informed on the subject of Trump's dealings with Russian oligarchs and Russian banks. I have been studying them for months.

    You are totally ignorant on the topic, and have apparantly decided that you're going to play the useful idiot and deliberately remain that way.

    Trump was briefed on all of this last Friday. He knew this was coming. And he knew that the intelligence agencies in the US (and in the UK as well) regard the overall allegation (that Russia targeted Trump and tried to influence him) as credible. Circumstantial evidence supporting this conclusion is overwhelming.

    Why did the media get this when they did? It's pretty obvious. Trump would have tried to supress it.

    Of course, you could actually read the newspapers, which don't "laugh" the story off. Nor do they endorse it.

    The Times coverage noted that Kelly Ann Conway lied to Seth Meyers on TV last night, claiming that Trump didn't know about what was in the briefing he had recieved the previous Friday.

    But there's nothing unusual about that. The Trump team lies like this virtually every day about one thing or another.

    I don't know about the lawyer thing.

    But the bed thing is entirely in character for a vulgar thug like Trump.

    because Hillary's reset button and Obama's promise to have more flexibility with Putin did not pan out well for them

    They will probably join in and be part of Holder's California Stable as he begins his anti-Trump crusade. The only saving grace is that while California does hold a sizable portion of the 'popular' vote, the Constitution legally protects the rest of the country from their one-sided influence. It is our good fortune the loonies are concentrated in only a few of the 50 stats in the union.

    I'm not behind. Everything I have said is factually correct. You know it. You can't refute a word of it.

    Oh for goodness sake Thomas. If you weren't in so much denial and so lazy, you can find this information all over the internet not just Zero Hedge. You look more foolish each weak post you make. Stop fighting the truth.

    I don't think she lied. Perhaps a synopsis of the Mi6 spys "dossier" was in the briefing but the "golden showers" and "anime auto eroticism" weren't included? Regardless, we'll not know until the disciplinary hearings for those that leaked info from a classified briefing.

    Cheers

    Fine take it from the original source, Reddit

    https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald...you_never_verify_anything_because_youre_fake/

    Or the original 4chan thread, which dates from Nov 1.

    https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/95568919/#95571329

    The simple fact of the matter is intelligence agencies got trolled by a web board, of all things.

    So if it's on twitter it must be "true"?

    I know what "all over the internet" means when you guy start pushing your spin.

    Zero Hedge is a right wing trash blog, and "all over the internet" means, as in this case, that all the other right wing trash blogs are braying on cue.

    None of them have any more facts than this thread started with.'

    You are welcome to prove otherwise. We both know you can't.
    '
    You call me lazy, but I'm the only one here who posted any documentation from any sort of reliable source.

    Sorry, but this report has not been ascribed to be accurate, but it is ascribed to be credible. Circumstantial evidence of Trump's business associations with Russian oligarchs and Russian banks is plentiful, and not just in intelligence reports.

    As I have already documented, concerns about these associations have been out there for a year. This is not new news.

    Trump was briefed last Friday. His spokeswomen lied about it on TV last night. period.

    Reddit is qa conduit for fake news. There is no credibiliity in the post in 4Chan at all. Anonymous posts on bulletin boards are not facts, dispite the poster's intent to suggest otherwise.

    Did I say that or are you just being a jackass? I think we both know the answer.

    What reliable source?
    BuzzFeed News became the center of a swirling debate over journalistic ethics on Tuesday after its decision to publish a 35-page document carrying explosive, but unverified, allegations about ties between the Russian government and President-elect Donald J. Trump.
    The document, a dossier prepared by a former British intelligence officer hired by Mr. Trump’s political opponents, had been circulating among high-ranking politicians and some journalists since the fall.
    CNN declined to include the specific allegations contained in the dossier — such as collusion between Mr. Trump’s team and Russian operatives — saying that its journalists could not independently verify
    them.
    Of particular interest was the use of unsubstantiated information from anonymous sources, a practice that fueled some of the so-called fake news — false rumors passed off as legitimate journalism — that proliferated during the presidential election.
    In a brief interview in the Times newsroom on Tuesday evening, Dean Baquet, the executive editor of The Times, said the paper would not publish the document because the allegations were “totally unsubstantiated.”
    “We, like others, investigated the allegations and haven’t corroborated them, and we felt we’re not in the business of publishing things we can’t stand by,” Mr. Baquet said.
    “An anonymous person, claiming to be an ex-British intel agent & working as a Dem oppo researcher, said anonymous people told him things,” wrote Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who was instrumental in publishing Edward Snowden’s leaks about government surveillance.
