1. Not surprised one bit.

[hells]

2. Putin is going to disappear them one by one

[calimary]

21. Welcome to DU, hells!

Well, he's longtime KBG, and he strikes me as a VERY calculating type - such a smooth, slick, sinister operator, he never leaves a fingerprint. And trump has already lied about him, as recently as today. Said he doesn't know the guy. Well, he's already admitted meeting Putin years ago, I think during his Miss Universe dealings. Putin's been around awhile. I'd bet he knows where more than just all the bodies are buried. Wouldn't surprise me if he even knows where Jimmy Hoffa wound up.

3. Trump's excuse to lift sanctions, "See, Putin didn't know these rogue agents hacked

our election, but he took care of it!"

Putin eliminating anyone who could say differently that he knew and authorized the hacks.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. That means that the dossier is basically TRUE . . . . nt

[notdarkyet]

7. Yep.

[Achilleaze]

32. It implies it with viscious directness, that's for sure

[susanna]

44. Didn't little hands call it "fake news"?

Looks like it wasn't so fake after all.

[Chasstev365]

5. Will NO ONE LEAK IT?

Someone out there must let the world know the truth!

[Qutzupalotl]

14. No. Just leaking their existence gets you killed.

They are Putin's crown jewels and he's never letting them out of their sight, so long as the Republican party keeps cooperating. (There's video of Trump, but there's also dirt on the RNC.)

[notdarkyet]

6. It's getting deeper and deeper. People are dropping dead all over

The place and the connection is Trump and Putin. Something way bigger is going on Putin is trying to cut off the trail of information. We better act soon.

[ffr]

11. Probably too late now.

Dead men can't talk.

This is real hardball organized crime people we're dealing with, on both sides.

[sarcasmo]

8. 45, Rex and pootie, 500 billion dollar killers.

[ffr]

9. Dead men can't talk.

Putin's and tRump's secret is now safe.

[ProudLib72]

10. When do the murders

begin in this country? You think tRump would have a problem with pootie putting out a hit on someone in the U.S.? I seriously doubt it.

[Rowdyag]

12. Legit question

Lots of loose ends here.

[calimary]

20. Welcome to DU, Rowdyag!

No kidding! This just gets murkier and murkier. I started reading this stuff, first on Daily Kos. And sheesh - it starts sounding like some spy thriller. No wonder that MI6 guy went deep underground. Where's 007 when we need him?

[sarah FAILIN]

34. During the campaign

The guy killed on Clintons campaign was a computer voting specialist. Shot in the back and not robbed. Sounds like he got to close to finding out something was going on, either with the hack in the DNC or the individual states.

They really didn't have to hack the states. They just needed to plant or turn someone in the company that services the machines that we aren't allowed to inspect now. Maybe he figured this out.

[triron]

35. Not aware of that.

Do you have the name? That makes things even more alarming.

[GliderGuider]

37. Seth Rich.

[GliderGuider]

36. I suspect Seth Rich found out something he shouldn't have.

Pop! Pop! A nice clean double-tap hit.

[sarah FAILIN]

38. I thought the same thing.

Before the election when they were blaming Clinton for his murder, I thought it was bs. She was obviously not going to hurt her staff. After we found out everything about the hacks and his actual job title, things are clear. The bad guys got him.

[Corey_Baker08]

45. I Wonder If This Was In Any Part Of The Obama Ordered Intelligence Briefings?

President Obama is an extremely intelligent individual, if this was out I'm sure he would have had this investigated as part of the Russian's interference in our election.

[kairos12]

13. The clean up and cover up has begun.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

46. Nah. Putin's holding his cards (videos) & will release them when Дональда Трампа is not useful

While tRump is doling out goodies and payback to Putin he's useful.

When he has nothing more to offer or gets blocked by Congress / The People / The Courts, then Putin will return to Plan A, which is to further destabilize the US. That would include releasing the videos / audios while throwing tRump to the wolves and provoking constitutional chaos via Amendment 25 or impeachment.

Until then, he has to protect their value, which means stopping further leaks / confirmations of what he is holding. Hence the assassination. Their value is greatly tied to the surprise / shock factor when they eventually get released.

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. Anyone listening to Maddow's show last night can say that it makes sense.

If there's something in the dossier that's true, Putin will act. And he has acted. Four main actors are either missing or dead. That's Putin's style.

[shraby]

16. The alphabet bunch in this country has the goods on the perps. I think it will come out soon

or we wouldn't be hearing about these deaths and how they link to the donald.

[Phoenix61]

24. True that although I'm not sure we will ever learn the whole truth

This is way too out in the light. When have we ever heard of a Russian being arrested for treason? A dead Russian suspected of treason maybe. This is like a really bad made for tv movie.

[Ilsa]

27. What are they waiting for?

It needs to be handled before trump creates a crisis so large that the intel becomes inconvenient and ignored. You know, a crisis like a major terrorist attack.

[world wide wally]

17. Fuck all you Trump supporters

Don't even try to be friends again.
All this blood and all the blood to come is on you.
All this for a billionaire Russian crony.
You disgust me

[starshine00]

42. this is how I feel

I can't be rational anymore. I lose my mind when I come across Stein voters too or people who didn't vote because Sanders didn't get the nom. I am off of social media now because of that. It just makes me insane people deny what is happening opening.

[UCmeNdc]

18. Christopher Steele Is most likely dead.

[UCmeNdc]

19. The roll up of experience in the state department is to hide the moles

[zentrum]

22. Whoa. WTF. nt

[trueblue2007]

31. Thanks for this context.

[flying_wahini]

25. very interesting.... Steele is probably still alive. Hope he's hiding well.

n/t

[democratisphere]

26. Yep. And drumpf thinks Putin and Russia are just wonderful.

Disgusting.

[yardwork]

28. Assassinations and torture.

[Sunlei]

29. dossier had a wide range of names in it & was ordered by Republican first? & than dos. contract sol

sold to 'someone' who turned it over to FBI? America needs a good investigation of all these dead people and reveal what Americans they had contact with past couple of years.

Even the Moscow government controlled press is going hacker crazy. they have another name for anonymous group Anonymous, known in Russia as “Shaltai Boltai.”

30. Smoke getting thicker

Stench around illegitimate KGOP & their draft-dodging whimp leader growing more vile yet.

[GliderGuider]

33. Bingo.

Full confirmation of the accuracy of Chris Steele's information.

I hope he's really well hidden.

41. K & R.

Nice work, liberal-hatin' Trump supporters.

[inwiththenew]

43. I speculated that the info they had on Trump was planted by Russia to find the leaks on their end

Could be.

Russia gets wind that Steele, who has to be known to Russia, is digging around for information. They let out a few stories about Russian security officials having compromising information about Trump with the intent on finding out where the leaks are in their own internal organization.
