And you remember that fake dossier containing dirt on Trump?...that's on the corrupt democrats and Russia.

[*]It is troubling to hear about allegations that a Russian-backed opposition research firm, with a history of smearing individuals and pitching fake information to reporters, was then hired by opponents of President Trump and the information that was compiled was taken seriously by the highest levels of our intelligence community along with our media.

As this gets uncovered I can just hear the media and dems...."nothing to see here, no collusion, everyone go home, waste of time, we should be discussing real issues"...and the granddaddy of them all..."at this point what difference does it make".

Whoa! Once again you are throwing out wild and unsubstantiated claims while claiming that's what others do.  There is no evidence whatsoever that the US gov intel analysts who got the dossier did anything other than what they usually do, which is vet and re-vet the material, deciding how much is trustworthy and how much not--a process which includes corroboration from other countries' intel agencies. 

When the dossier raised points like Carter Page's contact with Russians, the FBI then did their own investigation to confirm it.

They did not just get the dossier and start throwing around claims based upon it. So some information in the dossier certainly isn't "fake," the rest can be called "unsubstantiated" at the moment.

What do you think there is to "uncover" here?  What "collusion"? Did Hillary refuse to turn over her tax forms and borrow money from Russia and shift the Democratic party platform to a pro-Russia stance on the Ukraine? Did Chelsea and Bill forget all their meetings with Russians?

Right now we have a president with a history of smearing individuals and pitching fake information to reporters.
The resulting executive chaos is currently our foremost problem as nation--not the economy, not North Korea, not terrorism, not climate change.
