This may be solid and damning – but as usual Teflon Don will likely find some way to skate through this. It’s like Reagan all over again.

Certainly possible, but the report contains quite a lot of detail. That should give the media openings for further investigation. Things like that are easy to dimiss as generalities, but now several people have awkward questions to answer. Someone may crack.

I’m sure Trump voters would have urinated on Obama’s bed too. I mean, he is the antichrist.

Let’s just take a moment to remember that the last time Trump called news against him a “Witch Hunt”, he ended up settling out of court for $25 million…

There’s no evidence here of a direct quid-pro-quo that would indicate “high crimes” on the part of #nextpresident himself. The closest he got as far as the report is concerned was hiring advisors like Manafort and Page (perhaps based on the “friendly suggestions” of Russian oligarchs who lent him money) who have spent years taking Putin’s ruble. Combined with the salacious allegations from the dossier, though, this the strongest example yet that he’s not fit for the White House.
This is just the start – it’s not like this bombshell was dropped on a Friday at 5PM. Now we’ll get to see him spend at least a week trying to slime his way out of releasing his IRS returns to prove he took no Russian loans.
Cohen makes Nathan Thurm look like Atticus Finch. “It’s so funny that you think I was in Prague.”

Ben Smith (of Buzzfeed) sez:
there is serious reason to doubt the allegations.
Then why publish it? There’s a reason many journalists have heard of this but refused to write a story on this. It is unverified. If these allegations turn out to be wrong, that will have serious repercussions, giving fodder to the Froggy trollies to scream “Fake News!” and all credibility will be lost.
