FUCK i knew it.

Think about it. If russia was blackmailing him and wanting to get him in the presidency, trump completely trying to tank his campaign the entire time doesnt seem so out of place now.

He tried everything from insults, making fun of the disabled, ect to TRY AND GET OUT OF THIS MESS.

Holy shit everything makes sense now!

If false, Trump just got carte blanche to gut and reshape the intelligence community as it pleases.

Now that's fucking scary.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Where are all the Trump defenders? They are always so selective what Trump threads they post in.

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

Said this once before but CNN said his team was supposed to make a statement 2 hours ago.

My guess his tweet/statement will come during Obama's conference.

My guess too.

 

[Syriel]

Trump's Twitter activity tonight, or lack thereof is going to be the single most telling aspect of this entire cycle.

It's not like he has ever been careful or circumspect before.

Oh I have no doubt that Trump is beyond pissed while reading his feed right now.

 

[Rocwell]

PEEGATE

#GoldenGate

Come on you guys obviously this should be called #watersportsgate

 

[mj1108]

I'm still shocked the Trump team hasn't issued a statement to the original CNN story yet.

Just watch.... "We'll discuss that later."

 

[Lord Frieza]

Man, 4chan putting in work! Man a fake credible British agency and everything.

 

[Suikoguy]

Should be in the OP, good summary of what this is.

 

[smokeymicpot]

His show has already been taped for the day hasn't it? Or am I mistaken?

Think he tapes at 5.30. So there is a tiny shot me mentions the buzzfeed thing but a nice shot of the CNN one.

 

[Fancyarcher]

I don't always agree with McCain but the man is a bona fide patriot through and through

He clearly loves his country, unlike that honest to god scum known as Trump.

 

[LordKasual]

This isnt even entertaining anymore

it's just pathetic

Other networks like CBS and The Guardian are beginning to report on it with supposedly their own sources.

Yeah.

 

[Dr.Acula]

If "Bill Clinton visits secret-pedo island" is a one, and "Anthony Wiener sexts underage girl" is a ten, where does this Trump stuff land?

edit: in terms of verifiability and credibility.

Unfortunately we have 30+ years of media showing he's been a shithead his entire life, but this twist would've made for a great story,.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I have no idea where that's coming from, but I see people on reddit starting to say it too in the new section on the bigger thing on this, that someone apparently "trolled' and faked the document

Its strange and double edged because some of the information in the doc lines up and seems credible as said early in the thread BUT buzzfeed is the only one reporting it so far because its still classified information

anyone else have to pee really bad right now?

lol i seriously do because i've been glued to my screen waiting for updates

i'm gonna go enjoy my piss now. bye gaf

This would be hilarious

 

[Kathian]

The former British Intelligence Officer is alleged to be very credible. Many of these allegations may have truth to them, if even ONE of the serious ones is corroborated, it's game over.

Interesting note the Russian embassy has been blasting off at he UK government for breifing against them. It's on The Times front page tomorrow.

So I suspect it links there. They've been posting MAGA memes as well which I can only take as an attempt to interact with Trump supporters in the US and UK and highlight their comments about the UK government to them.

[Melkezadek]

John McCain is a badass, holy shit.

 

[Lord Frieza]

that's the only reason they're doing it. it's been floating about for months and nobody can verify it so why not? just put it out and let it be a thing. Some of the allegations in there would put Trump in jail if it was real.

I mostly just disagree with their sense of nobility. It's pure tabloid trash. funny. but trash.

If you don't see the context around this, I don't know what to tell you.

What if the document and the evidence itself was faked by Russia to trick intelligence and journalists into spreading something false for a "gotcha" moment? Occam's Razor and all that I know, but man that'd be wild. Trump would basically get free reign to completely reshape the entire intelligence community to his liking.

Intel came from a British intelligence, not Russian.

 

[Red]

Lot of journalists knew about this. Damn.

This has been alluded to for months. There has been a lot of innuendo about it. Since nothing was ever produced, I think many of us assumed it was bullshit.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Just make McCain president. Id be down with that. But he real old now, he was old when he ran. We need the few repub heroes left alive to step up and im hoping that just happened.

 

[Skatterd]

Getting ready for the inauguration? i heard Trump booked quite the show.

Well now we know what kind of show it's going to be.

 

[jonezer4]

We all knew Trump had an affinity for gold...

 

[MIMIC]

USA Today has referenced the Buzzfeed article. "Buzzfeed has posted the intelligence documents."

[smokeymicpot]

Has this been posted? Holy shit.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...-mccain-alleging-secret-trump-russia-contacts

Yes it has been posted. Everything is moving fast in the thread.

My little take on that is though is this.

One report, dated June 2016, claims that the Kremlin has been cultivating, supporting and assisting Trump for at least five years, with the aim of encouraging “splits and divisions in western alliance”.

Buzzfeed is dated June 20th 2016.

 

[B-Dubs]

It's trash journalism, but it provides the full context to a sensational story broken elsewhere, so it makes sense in that way.

True or false, I feel like we are through the looking glass. If true, the implications are colossal. If false, Trump just got carte blanche to gut and reshape the intelligence community as it pleases.

The guy who kept going on about Oppo during the election tweeted about the Ritz just before this dropped. So it looks like either it came from him or it's what he had been talking about all election.

 

[Dizzy]

"we couldn't verify anything but we're posting it anyway because that's our job in 2017. post whatever. #journalism."

There's certainly a doubke standard, GAF loses its mind whenever it concerns Trump.

If a right leaning source published unverified rumours like this about Hilary or Obama they would be up in arms.

Now watch people accuse me of being a blind Trump supporter just for trying to be reasonable with something that everyone is struggling to verify.

 

[BrutishMrFish]

Obama didn't want to sway an election, Hillary didn't want to appear like she was kicking someone while he was down in an election season when every damaging thing that could hit him at the time did, McCain would have been kicked out of the party for sure if he stepped in front and said shit, and most journalists with major audience already under attack by his staff would have been under intense risk of lawsuit

It's like the Republican primary all over again. The fucker never should have gotten past the first debate.

Patience. They'll show up as soon as someone devises the most solid means of discrediting the document.

[1.21Gigawatts]

On election night a german Journalist suggested that the german magazine "Der Spiegel" was sitting on a story about a Trump sex tape in Russian hands.

I was perplexed because you usually don't hear that kind of speculation on german public television and "Der Spiegel" is generally very trustworthy. But I never heard of any of this ever since.

I wonder if they had information about any of this back then.

Fixed that for you.

So, at least this is gaining traction. Man what a time to be alive. Not going to get my hopes up for something to happen after everything thus far but man, what a time to be alive.
