Perhaps Trump should have thought of that before taking actions that appeared to many to be obstruction of justice.

We'll see. Frankly, if there's any evidence to suggest that this "dossier" had a role in the decision to appoint Mueller in the first place, it puts the entire investigation on shaky ground.
A report from a guy who was the Russia Desk Chief for MI6 (who also was instrumental in investigating Putin's murder of Alexander Litvinenko in London as well as FIFA's corrupton) detailing shady/illegal dealings and possible Russian compromising of Trump is something that simply must be investigated. Morever, the Special Counsel did not result from the dossier. It resulted from perceived obstruction of justice. In fact, Comey thoroughly briefed Trump on the dossier long before the Special Counsel was appointed due to his comments about having deliberately obstructing justice.

Pretty sure Trump doesn't do much thinking before speaking. Not a good trait for the CINC. Perceptions being what they are, he may be in for a very rough ride if both houses turn blue next year.

If anyone here (Whell) isn't bright enough to understand what this alt-collusion theory is all about, this explains it pretty well.

This will play well with the “deep state” conspiracy theory believers. Rush, Breitbart, InfoWars will feed their (misplaced) seething anger to make sure they keep turning out to vote more hateful bigots into office. Whell and his idiot ilk will eat it up as “fact”. So many damned fools voting for these clowns.

Whell, do you have any angst that the Trump dossier research was first STARTED and Funded by Republican candidate campaigns, and then was picked up by the Clinton campaign after he secured the Rep. nomination?

It explains it pretty well and it has legs. It is plausible that Steele was played by his Russian contacts. Can he prove otherwise?

Lets accept the argument that Russians want to create chaos, undermine US democratic system. Then throwing dirt on the two presidential candidates is in line with Russian methods.

Additionally both Mueller and Comey are compromised. They funded, out sourced investigation on a US presidential candidate. Shit!...a FAKE document.



To add to their woes it is shown that they did almost nothing to sway/inform public servants on the Russian criminality involved when the Russian Uranium deal was being decided.

Two words, money laundering. That's where this is going. Everything else is a smoke screen and why the special counsel is moving forward. Will Paul Manafort flip at some stage?

A "respected retired British intelligence officer turned private investigator..." A perfect alt-patsy and Trump's base will love it. Will it help in 2018?
