Wait what's going on I don't twitter nor do I watch cable news what's the scoop?
The national media is all over a story about russian having some kind of leverage on trump, some dirt they could have used on him that they chose not to. This report is apparently leaked from the CIA
Buzzfeed went further and published documents it says is the basis for this, in an article saying trump was honeypotted into sleeping with prostitutes and having perverted golden showers and other urine sex acts on beds obama had slept in;
This report is apparently the basis for the rick wilson / mcmillan / mccain / possible-cia-leak
Within hours, its emerging that the report is an apparent hoax, made by a shitposter on /pol/ who sent it to rick wilson and tried to get other journalists to bite. The plot points like russian spies having sex with a target and hidden cameras is lifted almost wholesale from a story he says he saw on reddit, a slate article detailing a similar incident with the president of indonesia. Theres a chain of ID and timestamp proven comments in the archives from back just before wilson claimed he had some secret new evidence, claiming to have passed him the hoax story. Other journalists have said they were approached with it, and either discarded it as unbelievable or unverifiable. He hasn't posted conclusive proof yet, so the story that it is fake could itself be fake.
So worst case scenario, major media organizations and the bloody CIA itself and high profile politicians like mccain all just believed a total hoax about trump/russia while at the same time putting out stories about trump/russia and decrying 'fake news'
more evidence is rolling in every hour. Wikileaks called the document bogus, "
35 page PDF published by Buzzfeed on Trump is not an intelligence report. Style, facts & dates show no credibility."
Trump's lawyer michael cohen is said to have been in prague in the report, says he's never been to prague, has the passport to prove it

Cohen said that during the time the report places him in Prague, he was actually with his son visiting USC and meeting with the baseball coach. A USC baseball source confirmed Tuesday night that Cohen and his son had visited USC on August 29th. Cohen said that he was in Los Angeles from the 23rd through the 29th of August, and that the rest of the month he was in New York. He said that his only trip to an EU country over the summer had been a vacation to Italy in July.
