1. Why are they even mentioning the dossier?

There are so many other ways to distract* why bring attention to this?

* the uranium thing is one and, if you check out Fox News, Rep. Goodlatte thinks he has a "smoking gun" email from Eric Holder about funding liberal groups.

5. They are attacking the dossier because it has been brought up again in Mueller's investigation.

but bringing back out just calls attention to it. I know our lazy ass media will get preoccupied with the Clinton "scandal" element (those fill lots of airtime and "sells newspapers&quot but then they have to also claim IT'S NOT REAL! which leads to asking why even talk about it.

I caught you know who on the radio at lunch, nothing is real, it's all fake, no one is covering it, etc. BUT it's all Hillary's fault.

7. "Fake News!", "Russia hoax!" I pity Trump's future cellmate who will have to listen to that all day.

Did Trump want to know what could be found on himself?
