Russian sources disappeared after Trump declassified ex-spy’s evidence, UK court told

'Donald Trump’s decision to declassify evidence given by a former British spy about the former US president’s alleged links with Russia led to the disappearance of two Russian sources, according to a court document'.

 

“Two of the named Russian sources have not been seen or heard of since. The publication of this document did serious damage to the US government’s Russian operations and their ability to recruit new Russian sources'.

Of COURSE you would provide a link that has a pay wall so we can't see your "evidence."

It's for real.

Why the Discredited Dossier Does Not Undercut the Russia Investigation

Former President Donald J. Trump and his allies have stepped up an effort to conflate the so-called Steele dossier with the Russia investigation following the indictment of a researcher for the document on charges that he lied to the F.B.I. about some of its sources.

Mr. Trump and his supporters have long sought to use the flaws of the dossier to discredit the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election — and the nature of numerous links between Russia and the Trump campaign — as a “hoax.”

But the available evidence indicates that the dossier was largely tangential to the Russia investigation.

Everybody can lie, just look at Trumps record, but to lie in a report and give out the dossier for scrutiny is a risk no sane person would risk, even the truth can have consequences which is why I am certain Steele would have taken legal advise before giving up the dossier. Trump doesn't dare sue on the basis of the dossier being false, he is suing (to the best of my knowledge) on privacy issues where he may have a chance of winning. I doubt that he is doing this with a happy heart and may end up backing down.......there are risks for him in court and he, as a political animal, may decide to stick with bluster and lies, it's his preferred style after all.

I simply can't believe that Trump wrote that statement.  Writing "the data are false" is a level of grammatical understanding that is way, way above Trump's third grade level of English.

That could be his media staff. Trump's original statement was probably more like "the data is nasty", or "covfefe".

I thought Trump was both a] running low on money to deal with his myriad of legal cases, most of which involve him as the defendant, and b] running out of legitimate lawyers willing to work for him for obvious reasons.

 

But if his UK case does ever proceed, I'd sure be interested to read what the discovery documents pertinent to the allegations will show?  ????

 

Every campaign stop he asks for huge donations. On top of that he sells his picture on shirts, hats, etc for big $

too and then uses that money for his expenses.

He needs to pay close attention to campaign finance law.

I’m beginning to think Trump feels he doesn’t have enough drama in his life.

 

Why else would he set about a case like this that can only expose him to more scrutiny and give more publicity too the credible accusations against him?!

It's probably cheaper to sue in UK. Trump cannot miss a bargain! 😁

He’s no longer protected behind hundreds of NDA that have just been overturned by Jessica Denson’s case against him.

The pee tapes are about Trump allegedly watching two prostitutes pee on a bed the Obamas supposedly slept in. 

 

I call it pure fantasy!

We all know that:

- Trump would never go with prostitutes,

- Trump doesn't hate everything about Obama!

😃

This dangerous, bloated, bloviating, narcissistic stooge and criminal fraudster sues everyone. He is a 💩 in a death spiral down the commode. 🤮
