So let’s say I was really, really dumb.
I would see that a prestigious law firm called Perkins Coie contacted the well-known Fusion GPS intelligence firm to have some research done. That firm then reached out to a company called Orbis in the UK because Orbis employed one of the world’s foremost intelligence experts, who had been MI6’s main Russian expert.
He delivers a report and, so we are told, receives $168,000 but continues working without pay because he is so alarmed by what he is unearthing.
Then, I listened to Comey and saw that the Orbis guy’s findings formed one of the foundations of a major investigation of the Trump and those around him. That investigation continues, up to the minute, under Bob Mueller. So far, several indictments, guilty pleas, etc.
So if I was really, really dumb...and only if...I’d look at all that and conclude that the dossier is not true.
What does that make you, pal?
