Expect to see and hear a lot about this (most likely phony) BuzzFeed leak over the next week and a half. The media and Donald Trump’s opponents in the intelligence community know there is limited time to try to stop The Donald from taking the oath of office. The whole thing sounds ludicrous to me, but the haters in press and the cuckservative brigade are running with it. There’s allegations about Trump and “golden showers,” financial ties to Russia, contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, just every single piece of shit you could imagine…and many you can’t. The report was commissioned by enemies of Trump on the Republican isle, according to NBC and Andrea Mitchell. Oh, and according to Mother Jones, which ran a story on all this back in October, but without the full dossier that BuzzFeed leaked tonight.
In June, the former Western intelligence officer—who spent almost two decades on Russian intelligence matters and who now works with a US firm that gathers information on Russia for corporate clients—was assigned the task of researching Trump’s dealings in Russia and elsewhere, according to the former spy and his associates in this American firm. This was for an opposition research project originally financed by a Republican client critical of the celebrity mogul. (Before the former spy was retained, the project’s financing switched to a client allied with Democrats.) “It started off as a fairly general inquiry,” says the former spook, who asks not to be identified. But when he dug into Trump, he notes, he came across troubling information indicating connections between Trump and the Russian government. According to his sources, he says, “there was an established exchange of information between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin of mutual benefit.”
1. For those asking, I didn't publish the full memos from the intelligence operative because I could not confirm the allegations.

Even David Corn, a known shitlord, wasn’t scandalous enough to publish this unproven “dossier” in its entirely. He did do a post on it, as I showed you above, but he knew it was the height of journalistic malpractice to run with the whole thing. How can BuzzFeed claim to employ journalists and run with this trash?
Here’s how:

And like I said, the cucks on the right are going nuts…maybe even nuttier than the media themselves.
WikiLeaks takes on a whole meaning tonight, doesn't it?

All kidding and puns aside, we fought so hard because we knew this was who Trump was…and what the RUS IC had on him.

I've tweeted this before.
I'll do it again.
This is the war with the IC you wanted, @realDonaldTrump.

Rick Wilson is a major Rubio shill…and when that failed, he took up a senior role with Evan McMullin.
Among the many amazing details in the CNN story: Intell agencies shared their work on Trump w John McCain back in December. Trump? January

Kasich campaign manager John Weaver is going further than most. It’s over for Trump? I don’t see how. This is pure media and political operative hype (and it’s possibly helped along by enemies in the intelligence community, who have massive experience in this area). I’ve seen nothing to substantial this at all. In fact, one of the claims about Trump’s lawyer having traveled to Prague seems to have already been debunked.

WikiLeaks is also throwing shade…
35 page PDF published by Buzzfeed on Trump is not an intelligence report. Style, facts & dates show no credibility.https://t.co/twa8pJMMtP

Multiple people are even saying that the whole thing is a 4chan troll, courtesy of /pol/. I wouldn’t rule anything out, at this point. Needless to say, it would probably be the biggest troll of all-time.

Look, if it’s true then produce the evidence. Not hype, not allegations…hard evidence. I’m not seeing it, so I’m not buying it.

I’d have to agree with President-elect Donald Trump. There’s nothing here. Without real substance, this report and its propagation has to be considered a prime example of fake news.
Trump has a press conference scheduled for tomorrow, where I’m sure he will have a lot more to say.
MORE FROM TRUMP’S LAWYER MICHAEL COHEN:
The document also makes specific claims about contacts between people working for Trump and Russian officials. It alleges that Michael Cohen, special counsel to Trump, was central to “the ongoing secret liaison relationship between the New York tycoon’s campaign and the Russian leadership,” and that he met secretly with Kremlin officials in Prague in August 2016.
Reached by telephone on Tuesday night, Cohen denied the dossier’s allegations.
The story is “totally fake, totally inaccurate,” Cohen said.
“I’m telling you emphatically that I’ve not been to Prague, I’ve never been to Czech [Republic], I’ve not been to Russia,” Cohen said. “The story is completely inaccurate, it is fake news meant to malign Mr. Trump.”
Cohen said that during the time the report places him in Prague, he was actually with his son visiting USC and meeting with the baseball coach. Cohen said that he was in Los Angeles from the 23rd through the 29th of August, and that the rest of the month he was in New York. He said that his only trip to an EU country over the summer had been a vacation to Italy in July.
More evidence that this “report” is complete garbage…
