CNN has reviewed a 35-page compilation of the memos, from which the two-page synopsis was drawn. The memos originated as opposition research, first commissioned by anti-Trump Republicans, and later by Democrats.

From this article:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/donald-trump-intelligence-report-russia/index.html

Some of the memos were circulating as far back as last summer. What has changed since then is that US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former British intelligence operative and his vast network throughout Europe and find him and his sources to be credible enough to include some of the information in the presentations to the President and President-elect a few days ago.

Help me out: is the suggestion that the Russians have found additional information over and beyond what opposition research surfaced?

My understanding is that we don't know exactly what the Russians have and, in fact, they might not have anything. What was discovered were claims by the Russians to have compromising information as well as contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians. Again, as I understand it, a former British spy gathered the information. There is no new information. What is new is that US intelligence agencies have vetted the former British spy and found that his information is likely believable.

“Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia,” Trump’s son, Donald Jr., said at a real estate conference in 2008, according to a trade publication, eTurboNews.

The intel community is basically the Keystone Kops and those idiots bought it. Once again, the 400 pounders in mom's basement duped the CIA.

Almost as embarrassing as the time the CIA threatened to out a diplomat as a lesbian, only to learn that her bugged hotel room had actually picked up her petting her dog.

No it didn't idiot

Just because 4can is trolling you by releasing fake pages from the real report doesn't mean they originated it. You surely don't believe us and U.K. Intelligence agencies and all news outlets are too stupid to determine a 4chan troll from verified news.

DonaldJTrump: Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!


Okay then. That settles it.
