Special counsel Muellers Russia investigation now includes infamous Trump dossier
https://www.rawstory.com/2017/10/special-counsel-muellers-russia-investigation-now-includes-infamous-trump-dossier-report/
WASHINGTON (Reuters) The special counsel investigating whether Russia tried to sway the 2016 U.S. election has taken over FBI inquiries into a former British spys dossier of allegations of Russian financial and personal links to President Donald Trumps campaign and associates, sources familiar with the inquiry told Reuters.
A report compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele identified Russian businessmen and others whom U.S. intelligence analysts have concluded are Russian intelligence officers or working on behalf of the Russian government.
A spokesman for special counsel Robert Mueller declined comment. The FBI also declined comment.
Three sources with knowledge of Muellers probe said his investigators have assumed control of multiple inquiries into allegations by U.S. intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the election to benefit Trump, a Republican.

(6,045 posts)I have this constant sinking feeling that the investigation is going to show what we all know to be TRUE already, that Trump & people in his family & the campaign were in contact with the Russians & working with them...But the investigation won't find the piece of evidence that would convince a jury, especially a Republican Congress. And the same with his many crooked businesses dealings. I've read from more than one source that more than 70% of Trump's real estate sales are to shell companies. Trying to find the person or group behind the shell companies is extremely difficult if not lots of times impossible. So, this is how the corrupt Russian government officials, Russian mob & others launder their dirty money.
...I sure hope Mueller can find e lot of stuff on Trump so that it is obvious to most of America Trump is an evil Conman...Then it will be up to the Republican-controlled Congress to do something & that could severely damage the GOP.

(5,813 posts)The only reason trump is not flipping out of his gourd is his narcissism still making him think he can beat this. He still thinks he is smarter than Mueller and can avoid the consequences of his actions. Hell, with the twisted way his mind works, he has probably convinced himself he hasnt done anything wrong. It is all a big misunderstanding.
Just keep telling yourself that, Asshat.

(5,813 posts)It would take more than tictacs to make him appealing. From reading about his habits as a p*ssy grabber, it is 10,000 wonders some woman hasnt slapped him into the next County. I guess because he strikes fast, most women are just caught off guard and are too stunned to react. And then he immediately goes into denial mode if called out. I would love to see him have to go on the witness stand, under oath, as woman after woman comes forward with their story.
As for his intelligence, that ship sailed a long time ago. Anyone now who says he is really a smart man is either a nut job or just sucking up to that ass hole.

(7,694 posts)Weren't there about thirty women last year who were coming out with their experiences with him? He threatened to sue them, I remember, then suddenly they all disappeared. Cosby, Weinstein, Trump ...

(5,813 posts)His MO is pretty much the same. Pick a young, pretty woman. Try to get her alone. Grab her without warning. Start kissing and pawing her. If she protests or tries to tell anyone, deny, deny, deny. Say SHE is delutional. He also verbally says things like, You do know we are going to have an affair after he has assaulted the woman with unwanted and unwelcome grabbing and kissing.
He really is a predator in every sense of the word. He will never admit what he has done because lying is his go to defense. But some day, soon, I hope he has to face his accusers in a court of law.

(5,210 posts)that the salacious parts of the dossier were (a) a very small part, volume wise and (b) not that important at all compared to all the other contents?
So it seems to me an injustice, and misleading too, to use the subject line you did.
ETA: AND that a very large proportion of the dossier, incl. the salacious parts, have been validated? That's why I don't like to see the dossier mischaracterized and treated dismissively with any misleading slant.
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)1). Yes, I do realize that it was a very small part of the dossier, and that it's also how most of the people here on DU refer to it.
2). Do not accuse me of injustice or misleading people on DU. You don't know me, you don't have the right to accuse me of something that I did not do.
End of conversation. Have a nice day.

FakeNoose
(32,748 posts)However people were saying that he looked rather tired, confused and not-quite-with-it when he got off the plane in Las Vegas.
It's probably just jetlag but some people were saying that it's proof that dementia is setting in.
I believe that his staff are to blame because jetlag is real and it hits older people especially hard. I flew to Las Vegas a couple months ago and it took me a day to get back to normal. (I'm 5 years younger than him.) With Cheeto we're not exactly sure what "normal" is, so that's another problem.
In order to get over the jetlag they should plan his flights to arrive late in the day before the event he's speaking at. A good night's sleep and he should be OK by the next day. But they never do that, probably because Cheeto won't let them.

(5,813 posts)But remember, he also had a huge meltdown in DC before he left for Vegas. Spent two hours ranting and raving over the Tillerson moron comment. Was 20 minutes late leaving DC because of his snit fit. So if youve ever gotten really, really angry, you know it can leave you tired and mentally foggy. And I would not be surprised to hear that they medicated him to try to get him prepared for the day in Las Vegas. Here, Sir. Have a Diet Coke. Wink, wink.....we made it SPECIAL, just for you.

(18,837 posts)No I do not realize I am "spreading disinformation intended to detract from the Steele dossier." If the Newsweek article below is incorrect, my suggestion is to send them an email with the subject line "You do realize you are spreading disinformation intended to detract from the Steele dossier."

President Donald Trump breathed new life into one of the oddest political scandals in the countrys history Wednesday when he alleged to The New York Times that former FBI Director James Comey may have tried to use the so-called Golden Shower dossier as leverage over him.
The memo was generated by former British spy Christopher Steele, and, among other accusations, it contained a wild claim that Trump once hired prostitutes to urinate in front of him on a bed that former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama had slept on at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton. The report claimed that a video existed of the alleged incident, but no proof has surfaced to date.
Trump claimed he was in Moscow only for the Miss Universe Pageant for one day, then explained how he told Comey the dossier was made-up junk and why, he thinks, Comey shared the information with him.
I think he shared it so that I wouldbecause the other three people left, and he showed it to me, Trump said. So anyway, in my opinion, he shared it so that I would think he had it out there.

The dossier contained allegations of collusion between Trump aides and Russian operatives during the 2016 election. It also alleges that the Russian government has incriminating information on the president that could make him susceptible to blackmail. Notably, it claims that Russia possesses a videotape featuring Trump getting prostitutes to urinate on a bed in a Moscow hotel room in which former President Barack Obama once stayed with first lady Michelle Obama. The allegation has earned the findings the nickname the pee tape dossier, or the golden shower dossier.
