    Except that parts have been verified and were accurate.

    You are off base with your comments.

    That is true, regardless of anything Danchenko did or didn't true.

    The way an intelligence dossier works is different than a report or study which claims to deal in factual information upon its release.

    You're question doesn't make sense. And the lack of sense doesn't come from your intentional contradiction. I note that you tried to be clever and recognize that.

    You are free to research the thread where this was discussed. The fact that you think your question or the events uncovered show the dossier to be a fake simply shows you might want to research more about what an intelligence dossier is and isn't.

    Russia Russia Russia. 4 years of my life that I have to listen to this bullcrap, especially from that handsome fella over there on MSNBC named Richard Maddcow.

    Now, we know the rest of the story. Killary can go pound sand.

    This is actually a pretty fascinating post. Lets explore it a bit.

    Why don't you describe in your own words what the "rest of the story" is, now that we "know"

    No but it was really good and showed the culturally strange to an Americans seedy underside of South Africa.

    Also turned me on to Die Artwood, a weird techno hip-hop duo from South Africa.

    Igor Danchenko arrested, charged with lying to FBI about information in Steele dossier

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...76b9ae-3d77-11ec-8ee9-4f14a26749d1_story.html

    excerpt:

    An analyst who was a primary source for a 2016 dossier of allegations against Donald Trump has been arrested on charges that he repeatedly lied to the FBI about where and how he got his information, officials said Thursday.

    Igor Danchenko’s role in providing information to British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who compiled the accusations about Trump in a series of reports, has long been a subject of scrutiny from internal Justice Department investigators and special counsel John Durham, according to people familiar with the investigations.

    Steele presented the dossier to the FBI, and it was part of the basis for secret surveillance court orders targeting former Trump adviser Carter Page as the FBI investigated possible ties between the 2016 Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

    A 2019 report by the Justice Department inspector general found major problems with the accuracy of Danchenko’s information. But the 39-page indictment unveiled Thursday paints a more detailed picture of claims that were allegedly built on exaggerations, rumors and outright lies. The indictment is likely to buttress Republican charges that Democrats and FBI agents intentionally or accidentally turned cheap partisan smears into a high-stakes national security investigation of a sitting president.

    The indictment also suggests Danchenko may have lied to Steele and others about where he was getting his information. Some of the material came from a Democratic Party operative with long-standing ties to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, according to the charges, rather than well-connected Russians with insight into the Kremlin.

    The allegations cast new uncertainty on some past reporting on the dossier by news organizations, including The Washington Post.

    So when Michael Flynn was charged with lying to the FBI your response was that this is the crime of the century, and he should be held to justice??? You seem to think that this is a major crime here so I'm just assuming you were just straight up outraged that Michael Flynn would dare to lie to the FBI too.

    Also... not a hoax. It's a fact that Trump had a letter of intent to build Trump Tower Moscow directly with the Kremlin at the same time that the Kremlin was found to have been assisting in getting him elected.

    That alone is an impeachable offense in just about any presidency, and was found out via the Mueller Investigation.

    So again... NOT A HOAX.

    Not sure why you came to that conclusion. Personally, I do not care about this bullcrap Russia, Russia, Russia from the start. I’d always knew it was a dirty trick from Killary and her posse. What pisses me off is that they have wasted our time and tax money these past 4years.

    It doesn't say anything about a hoax.

    I'll ask again, what is the hoax?

    How can a collection of rumors be a hoax?
