Buzzfeed published it. They start with this:
A dossier, compiled by a person who has claimed to be a former British intelligence official, alleges Russia has compromising information on Trump. The allegations are unverified, and the report contains errors.
“We can’t confirm any of it, and we know some of it is wrong, but we went with it anyway.”
Sigh.
On the face of it, I’m inclined to agree with Glenn Greenwald that it seems possible the Deep State is taking a shot at Trump. Because Trump has plans to reorganize the intelligence agencies, that’s not surprising.
Perhaps unrelated: Trump will be keeping his private security, and not relying entirely on the Secret Service.
Greenwald’s point that when much or all of this is proved false, it will immunize Trump from any true revelations in the future, is also worth pondering.
I’m not sure what to say beyond that, except that reading this Twitter stream from Matt Stoller is important. It starts as follows.
1. The basic political problem Democrats face can be summed up in one sentence. Under their watch, the mortality rate went up.

Yeah. It’s just possible that Democrats lost not because of a super evil Russian conspiracy, but because they didn’t do the very basic job of government. All the bullshit lists that have come out miss the simple point that, measured in terms of jobs as a percentage of the population, the economy hasn’t recovered.
As for Obamacare, insurance coverage is not health care. If it was, the mortality rate wouldn’t be going up. The transmission is not applying power to the ground.
Democrats lost to an extremely unpopular, very flawed person, because they ran the country badly for a lot of people, and those people are upset.
