    That number being a grand total of three nothing-burgers, according to Newsweek.

    Which is just another way of saying that there's no evidence that they're true, the legal presumption being that they there are therefore false.

    • Well this article today is interesting:

      Devin Nunes is investigating me. Here’s the truth.:

      In the 1990s, I was the senior official at the State Department responsible for combating transnational organized crime. I became deeply concerned about Russian state operatives compromising and corrupting foreign political figures and businessmen from other countries. Their modus operandi was sexual entrapment and entrapment in too-good-to-be-true business deals...

      ...in 2016 [Sidney Blumenthal] showed me notes gathered by a journalist I did not know, Cody Shearer, that alleged the Russians had compromising information on Trump of a sexual and financial nature.

      What struck me was how some of the material echoed Steele’s but appeared to involve different sources. ...[When I showed Steele, he] said that it was similar but separate from the information he had gathered from his sources.


      Let me be the first to note that Sidney Blumenthal is a pretty suspect guy. However, it seems like there were independent sources that were suggesting Russia had compromised Trump both sexually and financially.

        And Trump is known to tell an occasional fib.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          You sound like lizard believers 'can you prove Pope is not alien lizard? Was it proven false???'

            Memo already said Steele leaked to journalists to make '''''''independent''''''''' confirming sources. Sad!

              So desperate.

              The Dossier was used to corroborate other information; it was not the sole reason for the issuance of the FISA warrant. And the warrants were renewed several times which can only happen if the original warrant was shown to be productive.

              Republican Trey Gowdy said the memo does not affect the Russia investigation and has no connection to key story-lines about the matter. "To the extent the memo deals with the dossier and the FISA process, the dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower," Gowdy said. "The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos' meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice."

              And so the Mueller enquiry roles on despite Donald's best efforts to sabotage it. Poor Donald.

                Isn't it funny how the Democrats have been eager to collude with Russia in their attempts to prove that Trump colluded with Russia?

                  Calm yourself, MM. JimL will be along any minute to explain this.

                    Oh, I'm sure, and I'm sure his explanation will amount to little more than "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."

                      Well being that the likes of you and MM are so stupid as to swallow whatever Fox news, Breitbart, and the like feed you, instead of checking out the facts I'll waste some more of my time and try to help you out.

                      http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-s...trump-goes-0-3

                      As you can see there was nothing secretive about it, and the Republican chair of the Senate investigating committee was informed of it and wanted to question Steele as well. How many failed phoney conspiracy theories does Trump have to throw at you before you realize you're being played for fools.
