I can't stand the question being asked ... but ...CNN and Mother Jones both ran stories. It's one of the issues that worm Franken brought up yesterday during Session's hearings like Sessions would know anything about a breaking story while being grilled in front of the Senate.
... do you happen to have a link or a "source" of this Fake News Story?
But in the meantime did the "unsubstantiated report" say "KGB"? Originally Posted by LexusLover

And here's a kicker: the Russians *supposedly* began compiling this dossier of incriminating info (paid for by hildebeest and Bush operatives, remember) some five years ago like the Russians had the prescient knowledge that Trump would be a presidential candidate and actually win the election.

Do they have a dossier? I don't know, but it would surprise me a lot if they don't. And recorded sex adventures in fancy Russian hotel rooms is probably the most common leverage they go after. They have it on each other "just in case", so why would they NOT try to get it on someone trying to negotiate multi-million dollar contracts so they can get better terms?

Let's see ..... the Russians hacked into the DNC to defeat HillaryNoMore AFTER they were providing information to defeat Trump?Yes, Jeb. And McCain's name seems to come up quite often.
... Were they trying to get Jeb in office?
Or did the Russians think they had a better shot at getting HillaryNoMore into office if Jeb were running against her? (I'm assuming when you post "Bush" .. you mean Jeb!)

Whether or not they then found a different use for it I have no idea.

Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, denies ever having gone to Prague as this supposed "intel" claims, Old-THUMPER. It seems like the FBI and the CIA with all of their resources and connections could, in a six month period, prove that he did, Old-THUMPER, but they didn't!
And your point is.....

The conversation is about Trump and Moscow hotels. But when you fumble that one, now you declare that it was about Cohen and Prague.
