As of December 2017, the dossier's allegations of collusion have not been corroborated link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump–Russia_dossier

I'd love to hear your answers to a few questions:
1. What is the scope of the special investigation commanded by Robert Mueller?
2. Is the special investigation concluded or ongoing?
3. Has the special investigation led to any findings against Trump associates to this point?
4. How long would a special investigation into a conspiracy linked to a sitting president expect to last? (if you're having trouble with this one, you might check your history books to see if any sitting presidents in the past have been involved in a special investigation)

Certainly is a full court press by the fascists and Russian bots to cover Trump's tracks this weekend.

It's funny watching them dance though. I would like to know why papadopoulos had advanced knowledge of the SVR* hacking operation against the democratic party.

I don't think trump will ever be prosecuted for any of the dodgy shit he has and will do. That's what disposable suckers like georgy boy are for. Young, inexperienced and ambitious which makes him easy to manipulate and if it goes wrong then he can be scapegoated.

*The SVR or SVR RF used to be known as the first chief directorate of the KGB.

Trumps campaign was wire taped in trump tower with the Trump dossier FISA request. Where do you think the hole Russian collusion comes from, it is the discredited Trump dossier.
What does carter page and the Trump dossier have to do with each other, think?

You need to start googling.

1) Page wasn’t part of Trump’s campaign when he was wiretapped.

2) The Trump dossier wasn’t the basis for the investigation. Papadopoulos’s statements that he was privy to knowledge of Russian hacking to aid Trump was.

You need to start consuming better news.

Sorry, it was the Australians that alerted the US intelligence services that this drunk Papadopoulos guy says he's getting Hillary "dirt" from Russian hacked emails, before the Steele dossier was even mentioned. Facts I know are liberal.

The great thing about this post is that everything you claimed is factually wrong.

A warning that echoed an earlier notice from the Brits, and then there was the Dutch AIVD hacking and observing Cozy Bear/SVR actions over the course of an entire year, while the Russians were trying to hack American government institutions like DNC in 2014.

Another vote for wingman to start listening to his own advice, maybe elevate his standards when it comes to sources.

The "problem" with this particular forum is that there are too many knowledgeable people with factual data at hand for the bots and shills to get ahold of it and infest it with disinformation and GOP propaganda drivel.

That being said, I give a 10/10 for effort to those folks who dare come here heavily armed with Trump think, FOX fallacies and bot bogus reeking of vodka and borscht simply because it saves me the trouble of dumping my index.dat files that would get loaded with right wing trackers.

So Michael Cohen actually did meet with Kremlin officials in Prague after all?

Comey clearly stated there are "verified, unverified and salacious" parts of the dossier.

So the former head of the FBI is on record stating at least some parts of it have, in fat, been verified. No other narrative is valid.

Period.

I was responding to "not a single part of it has been debunked or discredited." which is, of course, complete and utter horseshit. Period.

Actually, no. Cohen's passport shows a stamp entering Italy July 9 and exiting Italy July 17.

This places Cohen in what’s known as the Schengen Area: a group of 26 European countries, including the Czech Republic, that allows visitors to travel freely among them without getting any additional passport stamps.

So at any rate, none have been discredited. Including Cohen, which remains unverified.

The dossier explicitly states that the alleged meeting in Prague took place in August 2016....not early/mid-July.

No, actually it's vague estimation of August or September. As vague as that is, it's not a stretch for it to have been July.

Either way, unverified.

And some parts have, in fact, been verified.

Ya know the logical fallacy that if something is wrong on one thing, it must be wrong on all? Remember, that's a logical fallacy.

Not a stretch at all...at least for a full-fledged conspiracy theorist.

It's likely that some of the dossier is incorrect. That's the nature of gathering evidence for past happenings. Doesn't really mean a damn thing. The dossier is one source of evidence for one aspect of one part of an investigation that is ongoing.
