#1 Unable to verify it? Then why was it given to then President Soetoro and why was community wide distribution made on it? Let's be honest here, we all know what this was about, we're just not fully briefed on the individuals responsible.

Time to come clean and move on.

#2 Beso, coming clean would result in a severe shortage of cells in various correctional facilities........not that there's anything wrong with that mind you.

#3 ...Remember what I said back when all this started - the Democrats expected that when it came out, Trump would go into a defensive crouch and spend all his time addressing what was in it, while Hilary would tut-tut and cruise to a secure win. And after January 20th, President Clinton would have made sure that the dossier was quietly burned/shredded/reduced to atoms.

Trouble is, 1) Trump didn't follow the script...hell, he ignored it, and 2) Hilary was still so disliked that she lost a rigged election. So now what you have is a situation where the Dems fired their 'secret weapon'...and (to use USAF Ammo terminology) it hung up on the rack, and there's no place to jettison it.

I think both sides are scrambling for cover stories to keep us from knowing the truth.

#5 If the dossier was used as supporting evidence for a FISA warrant, someone must eventually own it. I suspect this is a very sticky wicket. There is the possibility that Soetoro provided the authorization for the use of the dossier.

#6 I think both sides are scrambling for cover stories to keep us from knowing the truth.

Why would POTUS and AG want to aid in the cover-up?

#9 Why do I suspect they are waiting for someone to die of natural causes so that they can place blame on that person.
