Why is CNN the only major outlet covering this? Are other organizations trying to verify?

This is a CNN exclusive story. The other outlets are trying to verify.

 

[offshore]

Yeah, twitter is amazing right now.

 

[BronsonLee]

Waiting on mods to verify this like they verify dem leakers.

bish is good with gaming leaks, not so much with actual leaks

 

[Nightbird]

I would assume that it would be government policy to crack down on any report of supposed top secret documents that were at least being passed off as being real whether they were actually real or not to avoid the implication that censoring them indicated authenticity.

Oh yeah, that makes sense.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Oh my god. I hope this is real.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Man, if this is true...

We'll be in for one hell of an amazing if it some or all of it gets verified.

Not going to get my expectations up.

 

[Graphics Horse]

These sheets are hard to look at with all the yellow marks everywhere

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Russia may start leaking what they have, I think. I expect things to start developing rapidly.

Nothing will happen honestly. This will get swept under the rug along with everything else he did because the powers that be will keep the true "smoking gun" from coming out.

With that being said, in the likely chance that he doesn't get impeached and that this is all true, I am really afraid for the future.

 

[Melkezadek]

No wonder Ivanka dodged that kiss.

 

[How About No]

Waiting on mods to verify this like they verify dem leakers.

Only way Russia leaks anything. IF they have anything is if Trump starts publicly attacking/going against their interests.

 

[Apollo]

it doesn't matter if the shower was on him or in front of him...he's a germophobe and if you know anything about germophobes they wouldn't even be in the same room with ppl doing some shit like that. Nor be in the same room with a bunch of dirty prostitutes...story is straight fake just like pizzagate. Hell story is coming from a a former British intelligence official anyways. It's fake. CNN is about to go down with all their nonsense they been reporting lately.

 

[Guy.brush]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the President of the Urinated States of America

 

[Count Dookkake]

Makes sense a guy with golden toilets would want golden showers.

 

[Betty]

#watersportsgate is trending

omg

 

[RoKKeR]

Hold on hold on, just got a text from my dad. Is this golden show shit for real?????

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Atleast twitter exploded with hilarious stuff

Man what a joke the US has become

The only thing we're now still #1 at is pissing contests

 

[~Kinggi~]

I mean if you are Obama how the hell you handle the speech in an hour? Like really this is blowing up fast.

 

[Goodstyle]

His actions towards Russia will be heavily observed from now on. Every time he makes a Pro-Putin decision (especially w/ regard to Ukraine or NATO) it will encourage people to think that all allegations - while unverifiable - must be true.

This is utterly meaningless. Repubs are growing warmer and warmer towards Russia as Trump shows his love for them. They'll believe anything he says, do whatever he wants. If there is no smoking gun, then this report is nothing more than a cute distraction.

 

[trebbble]

Things could get very weird, very fast.

 

[Skatterd]

I'm sorry, I don't know if I can take the word "leaks" seriously anymore.

 

[Meowster]

Not shocked "grab them by the pussy" Don likes piss.

 

[BlastProcessing]

SHE KNEW

 

[RedAssedApe]

will someone think of the maids that had to clean up?

 

[Stinkles]

Nothing will happen honestly. This will get swept under the rug along with everything else he did because the powers that be will keep the true "smoking gun" from coming out.

Nope. either gets investigated and disproven, or investigated and proven, or made credible.


It doesn't just "go away."

Also read the story of the Little Dutch Boy and the Dyke.

 

[Milchmann]

Buzzfeed might be in some shit here. That report is really confidential. Not to be discussed. NYT points out its a felony. They are heroes for doing it, that is if my understanding of this all is correct.

The document on Buzzfeed is not the summary by the intelligence agencies. The content is probably the same though.

 

[Grexeno]

I mean if you are Obama how the hell you handle the speech in an hour? Like really this is blowing up fast.

You don't acknowledge it at all.

 

[slit]

This is a CNN exclusive story. The other outlets are trying to verify.

That's what I thought. It's just the thread was started 2 hours ago and in the news media that's an eon.

 

[RPGCrazied]

And no wonder he has an obsession with gold. You should see his room in his tower, its all gold. lol

 

[AstroNut325]

Someone please download a copy of the report images from BuzzFeed. I have to get ready for class now. I want to read the report later!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

This is all false hope.

They're just going to deny anything.

Also, if this was an active investigation, its compromised now?

That's what I was saying. My first impression was, "Nothing in this is redacted. How the fuck did Buzzfeed get this?"

Some of it is redacted at the end of it

Whats weird -- reporters went nowhere on Russia pre-election. Now they are going further than my foreign intel sources say is true.

 

[smokeymicpot]

The writer of the CNN article is speaking about it again on CNN. MI-6 agent helped us on it.

Holllleeee shit, then that would mean the report is legit.

Trump:

At a certain point my brain is just going to lock up.

 

[Abstrusity]

Piss puns everywhere. A torrent of them, really.

I guess this is what happens when you piss off intelligence. Or, I mean, piss on them.

I'm bad at this.

 

[chadskin]

I'm in DC sitting behind General Flynn at an event and he doesn't have an iPhone on him. Tempted to tell him. Don't have nerve.

For those following along, Flynn's guy whispered in his ear and he's gone.

[Not]

Hold on hold on, just got a text from my dad. Is this golden show shit for real?????

It's how the Russians got him to collude. That's the important thing.

 

[kittenbreath]

Buzzfeed might be in some shit here. That report is really confidential. Not to be discussed. NYT points out its a felony. They are heroes for doing it, that is if my understanding of this all is correct.

Nothing in the 35 page memo is confidential - it was conducted by a private intelligence gathering operation, commissioned as oppo researchers for Trump's opponents (Hillary and Republicans alike). And it's been circulating widely among media, politicians, and intelligence communities (ours and others) for a while now.

The only reason it wasn't published earlier is because media outlets won't run bombshell allegations like this without confirmation. Buzzfeed finally pulled the trigger because the cat was out of the bag with CNN's report, and they decided it was in the public interest to know the content of the allegations.

 

[Wallach]

Why? They want Trump to be sworn in

Because it is going to be impossible by the time he has any power to leverage him to real benefit for Russia, like having the sanctions softened. The other main goal here is to destabilize the US, which is just as easily accomplished by wrecking the transition to a new President.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I mean if you are Obama how the hell you handle the speech in an hour? Like really this is blowing up fast.

Start the speech with "this is a golden day to be seeing you all"

 

[Goodstyle]

Trump can literally piss in the mouths of the American people, tell them its rain, and they'll believe it. This is a report guys! Wait for something concrete.

 

[Boke1879]

Wait so the Trump team STILL hasn't put out a statement in regards to the CNN story?

 

[djplaeskool]

 

[i-Lo]

Can someone explain what's the point of cultivating him for 5 years given the fact that he was considered to be a joker candidate at the very beginning? Of course his value understandably became greater after he slowly started to look like he had some amount of real chance.

So wouldn't this mean that they have been cultivating other possible candidates for the same purpose and Trump is the only one who was successfully able to go the farthest?

 

[Raven117]

This report actually alleges treason on the part of Trump's team, it says they passed info on Russian oligarchs in the US to Putin and they were in communication during the campaign. That they were getting intel on Trump's political rivals from Putin. Also that they had more than just a hand in the DNC hack.

There's also the bribery, but that's only a single mention.

I read it. Are you saying I'm denying it? (Just curious why you quoted me...)

Never saw the word treason being used.

Just so we can all learn together:

18 U.S.C. Section 115 states

"Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."

If all this is true (may or may not be), the CIA and the FBI (and perhaps most importantly, an independent prosecutor appointed by Congress) need to investigate how deep this goes.

i don't understand why you're denigrating sex workers like that. pretty dickish of you.

Why is half talking about Golden showers

Thanks for the information.
