Facts: the Trump campaign was anxious to work with Russian agents. The email is out there its a proven fact. It had nothing to do with the dossier.
Fact: Manafort worked for years with Russian agents in The Ukraine and at a minimum he gave internal campaign data to Russian agents when he was trumps campaign manager. That had nothing to do with the dossier.
Fact: Carter Paige was suspected of being a Russian mark for years before he joined the Trump campaign. It had nothing to do with the dossier.
Regardless of the dossiers origin the Trump campaign had many many documented contacts with the Russians.
Fact: the president told the world that he trusted Putin more than he trusted our own intelligence community.
Fact:
Donald Trump Jr. himself famously
said in 2008 that “Russians make up a pretty disproportionate cross-section of a lot of our assets. We see a lot of money pouring in from Russia.”
You guys can act like none of that matters because the dossier came from the political mud pits. But it does matter.
Can you honestly say that if Obama had all those contacts with the Russians during his campaigns you would discount those actions because you didn't like how an investigation was initiated?
Of course you would. And rightfully so.
That is another example of my ultimate point. When you give your party a break you wouldn't give the opposing party your putting the will to gain power over the good of the country.
We just can't do that and survive.
