Articles: The Trump Dossier Puts the Deep State in Deep Doo-Doo
"Mr. Garfinkle of Garfinkle’s New Method Hebrew School in Milwaukee used to frequently echo King Solomon’s admonition; “There’s nothing new under the sun.”
I was reminded of that this week when the rapidly unfolding “scandal” of Trump’s purported dealings with Russia hit the news.
It has more than a few similarities with the Dan Rather faked-up story of GW Bush’s National Guard service where an anonymous, never-found source supposedly gave Bill Burkett a demonstrably fake report and Dan Rather ran with it.
This time a Bush (Jeb) is involved but as an instigator of the story, not a victim.
John McCain acts as the intermediary passing the junk on to the Intelligence Community, which makes sure it is published.
If you’re confused about it, let me put it in the context of the most reliable information I’ve been able to put together, noting that I think the story is likely to become even more clear over the next few days.

No matter how false the allegations, the subject of the attack is required to respond, wasting precious time and losing credibility.”
She warns this will be the left’s game:
But it says something about the brass-knuckle approach of the left that it would go so far as to write a dossier suggesting that Mr. Trump is a Manchurian candidate -- and then to foist that report into the hands of intelligence officials. [snip]
So the left will increasingly rely on campaigns of delegitimization designed to force opponents onto a back foot, push them off task, or even bully them out of the public arena. In the absence of a winning policy argument, this is, in their minds, the best they’ve got. Republicans had better be ready for it..."

"On January 21, 2017, thousands of women are expected to take part in the Women’s March on Washington.
