“I don’t know about that, I haven’t seen it,” Trump said, according to a transcript of the conversation. “What report is that? I haven’t seen that. I’ll look into that.”That's a curious statement. On the one hand, The Emperor is briefed on national security matters, so he should have known that it was coming. On the other hand, if he and his team are the targets of a criminal investigation, it makes perfect sense why he was caught off-guard -- so much so it exposed a rare moment of truth.
If that wasn't bad enough, CNN reported that intelligence officials have corroborated many of the meetings cited in "the dossier", showing that the allegations of contacts between The Emperor's staff and Russian hackers and officials were factual. While some people were surely hoping the prurient episodes cited in "the dossier" were verifiably true, they are not criminally important -- the kompromat, if used to blackmail The Emperor, would hold Russian officials criminally liable. Treason is a very high crime, and that's surely where the criminal investigation is focused.
Sure, a lot of Bernie or Bust people still believe that the Russian story is a lie -- because if true, then Hillary did not lose on the merits of her candidacy but on the interference of outsiders -- but one by one the facts are being established and a criminal case is being built.
And I'm also certain that these same folks will demand that the proof is made public. But the proof does not need to be made public; the end goal is to reach a conviction and that only requires showing the proof to a jury.
