We (general american public) always seem to forget that Trump is sucking off a country that openly assassinates dissenters

But they are tough and hate minorities and gay people. That is the trade off. Americans can live with murder as long as they get to feel superior.

Mother Jones originally reported on this in October, before 4chan is saything this was drawn up by them in November.

The anime BS people keep pulling from 4chan is not in the dossier. It is made up by 4chan. See the OP.

http://m.motherjones.com/politics/2...ging-russian-operation-cultivate-donald-trump

Also, 4chan isn't a journalistic website and is filled with trump trolls.

Also, if the people you are talking to had any semblance of critical thinking skills, they would realize that 4chan is not capable of trolling a former MI6 operative, John McCain, the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI.

It's fucking ridiculous.

Alright so there are some interesting discrepancies between the Mother Jones article and what we (allegedly) know about the former british M-I6 agent.

Is it possible two separate independent contractors came to the same conclusion? That would square up with the BBCs "multiple sources" report.

Christopher Steele is going to be the juiciest role in the eventual movie version.

Can Matt Damon do a British accent?

I like to think he's going to pull a Kingsman Church Scene if anyone were to come for him. As former MI-6 I'm hoping he knows how to disappear when he needs to.
 
After reading the comment section of the conference I now genuinely believe that Trump can do whatever he wants and people will still cheer because he tells it like it is

8 years of this garbage, what a time to be alive

I think it's best for him and his family if he stayed completely anonymous no matter what, unless they came forward themselves.

The thing is, if the WSJ had been trying to contact Mr. Steele for weeks before this story broke, then they knew about his involvement. And if the WSJ knew about his involvement then the Kremlin knew about his involvement.

Yeah fuck all of this right now. If the WSJ actually just outed the MI-6 agent on blast just for a story this is beyond fucked. Someone that has put so much on the line does not deserve this at all, I don’t care what comes from it.

What discrepancies?

I believe MJ has said the buzzfeed dossier is the same one they had in Oct but did not publish the entire report because they could not verify everything.

This still leaves him open to harassment and worse from anyone else.

EDIT: But I guess that would still get leaked anyway. Blah.

Just tuned in, read the OP, still confused af.

Can someone explain to me like I was a 5 year old?

Jeb campaign hired a former British spy to get info on Trump but too late. Some rich Dem picked up the tab during the general. The British guy used connections in Russia to find out that Trump may have been involved in hacking the Dems and working with Russia in secret and also that he likes pee parties. British guy hands over research to FBI but they are distracted by Hillary emails. He gives it to journalists but they have trouble confirming his findings and few report about it. After Trump gets elected, McCain finds out, gets the intelligence community to start investigating, they find it credible enough to inform Obama and Trump. BuzzFeed gets the doc and drops it online, Internet goes nuts. Some info is wrong but many sources behind the scenes vouch for other parts and claim there is video evidence. WSJ doxes the British guy.

It was a big secret that some pretty ladies went pee pee on a bed for a bad orange man for money. But other bad people secretly videotaped the bad orange man. Then they used the video to make the bad orange man do bad things so they could all be bad together. Then a super secret agent man found out the secret and told the news people about it. And now everybody is fighting over it and confused because nobody knows who is telling the truth. Some kids living in their parents basement have also confused some people by claiming to be the ones who tricked everyone with fake news. So now everyone is just confused and angry and sad.

In last week's intelligence briefing there was an addendum that outlined several pieces of intel that heavily pointed to Trump being compromised by Russia.

CNN reported on this but did not publish the report, because the report does not substantiate the claims.

Buzzfeed published the report.

The report has several extremely eyebrow-raising accusations, including collusion between Trump and Russia for ~5 years, Russia possessing tapes and recordings of Trump in compromising sexual situations (including him hiring several hookers to urinate in a hotel bed that he knew the Obamas previously slept on, purely out of spite), and other materials that are pointing to Russia essentially blackmailing Trump.

Trump has called it "fake news" and a "witch hunt". Since he projects in the most obvious ways possible, and since he even wrote his tweet in all-caps, he's basically confirming what these allegations are saying.

A few reporters are saying that this has been going around the journalism circles for several months, but none published because the report was classified and its contents unsubstantiated. Mother Jones reported it a week before the election but failed to get traction (see: Comey's fuckery).

It is believed that a former British intelligence official found most of the information that comprises the report.

The Wall Street Journal just publically identified him by name, because they're fucking jackasses (although it's the next step in verifying whether the report is true or not).

That's pretty concise.

Great summary, thanks.
 
This seems incredibly dangerous to this man to put his name out there like this, or am I missing something?

Its pretty shitty yeh - but if they could find him, then Russia absolutely could. If anything,some publicity over who he is may help raise awareness if he goes missing at any point in the future or suffers a case of polonium-210 poisoning.

Mostly that MJ claims the contractor was US based and Orbis is UK based, I suppose that could simply be a reporting error or miscommunication or deliberate obfuscation though.

You have to be extremely naive to think that the Christopher Steele's identity wasn't already an open secret in the intelligence world. He runs a public firm that specialises in this stuff. Obviously outing him in the media leaves him open to random wackos but he isn't getting a polonium in his tea because the WSJ reported his name.

Sounds like the prologue to the next Tom Clancy.
