...unless, of course, you hire someone to leverage their Russian contacts to build a "dossier" of fake facts like the Clinton campaign did.
You have any proof to your statement above in bold?

Specifically, what fake facts are you referring to because most of the key assertions have indeed proven to be true?

You're the Trump cultist who said it was all fake. Prove it, in light of the fact that most of it has shown to be true.

Meanwhile, here is a description of all the Trump campaign members who talked to Russians about dirt on Hillary (about which every one of them lied, BTW).

More witches falling from the sky...Stone and Caputo.

"If Roger Stone and Michael Caputo told investigators what they said publicly, they could have real problems.
The Washington Post's Manuel Roig-Franzia and Rosalind S. Helderman broke a significant story Sunday that added to the list of undisclosed meetings between Russians and President Trump's confidants. This one involves informal Trump adviser Stone meeting in May 2016 with a Russian who — you guessed it — was offering dirt on Hillary Clinton. The meeting was arranged by Caputo, an official member of Trump's campaign who had previously worked in Russia.
The long and the short of it, according to Stone and Caputo, is that the man, Henry Greenberg, was requesting lots of money for the information — $2 million — and nothing was ultimately exchanged. Contemporaneous text messages back up that contention. So, much like that Trump Tower meeting, whatever the intentions were, it seems the relationship never came to fruition. It's yet another mysteriously obscured contact with Russians, and it's perhaps yet another collusion gray area."

Look at you moving the goalposts. Pretty soon you're going to need an ATV to move them around, Skippy.

Indeed. He picked pretty much the only thing that hasn't (and can't) be proven to assert that everything else that has proven to be true isn't. A true Trump cultist.

From your link:

Meanwhile, major parts of the dossier have been verified by subsequent investigations into Russian election meddling, while others remain a mystery.

Oh, BS. Most of the crap in that BS document "hasn't or can't be proven", and a lot of it can't be disproven either because of the inherent issues with proving a negative. That's precisely why you and your fellow travelers in the Dem party love the document so much. You can make a salacious claim that has a grain of truth and then harp on it for months.

On the other hand, that's why I also posted the Newsweek article - which both of you ignored - which provides perspective on a number of claims from the "dossier".

You two really need to get a room.

If the Orange Pustule ever gets on the wrong side of his boss & handler, Putin will release the tape(s).
