    Go to the site. I spent hours on it last night. The chronology is there, they've been crowing about this punk of Wilson for months openly. Even some of the specific silliness within the dossier is laughed about on November 1st. Wilson was the target of the trolling, he'd made some bizarre comments about pissing / in relation to a girl. They ran with it.

    Now as to the identity of S.T Prudence, unknown could be anyone. S/he claims to be from the UK.

    Cheers

    4chan is a conglomeration of every political/social stripe. Yes you could suggest they lean left because it's mostly younger/ crazies hanging around there but it's really just a huge Internet warehouse of chat rooms.
    Most of them neither you or I would wish to enter.

    why didn't the public law enforcement agencies or private media do their due diligence.

    they both have great power, and with great power comes great responsibility.

    will President Trump make America great again for the peasants who suffer under such great power used irresponsibly?

    Liberals be warned, there are more "triggers" on one page at 4chan than on a college campus, your heads are subject to go sploody!

    I agree fully the responsibility was not just abused but thrown out the window. It's quite apparent the heads of our intelligence agencies are political yes men for the current administration.

    I'm sure Trump will chop off the heads of the politically motivated. Of course it's an easy argument that thier replacements will just be yes men for Trump. Time will tell. Generally speaking conservative replacements will follow the law more than progressive yes men and do thier jobs as described.
    Both the left and right will be watching.
    What we need in our intelligence agencies aren't left or right but patriots willing to discern the truth for the good of the country not a political party. I'm sure most will agree.

    Sploody? Is that new? Love it.
    Gotta admit I haven't been to 4chan in many years but it's probably one big party today. Might just have to go there and tap a keg.

    Have you ever been to http://www.reddit.com/the_donald ?

    There are so many Russian trolls out there that helped put[in] Trump into office through an endless amount of garbage. You know urine trouble when your US president-elect uses "Russia says" as his main proof.

    At some point you're going to have to acknowledge that Hillary lost because she sucked as a candidate and more people in 49 out of the 50 states wanted somebody else. But your dodge of my question is noted. I'll try again, which way do you think an internet chat room full of 20 somethings lean politically? I mean, here they are creating an anti-Trump hoax.... pretty good indication they aren't supporters of his. Who does that leave?

    Lol...Putin and the Russians are going to have to stand in line to own trump.
    Trump is already owned by the mafia. They have had him by the shorthairs for decades when they gave him big loans to cover his debts and then used his casinos as a money laundering front for their illegal cash.

    Go there if you can stand it. Much of the board makes Hitler look like a bleeding heart in comparison.

    Funny how the leftist that believe the Russian nonsense all of a sudden care about having proof to believe a claim.

    Legacy/Left Media once again proves just how little respect they have for their audience.

    You're rebuttal tells me you have no idea what you're talking about. It's a mistake to label that website to a political affiliation. They will always disappoint your expectation... with literally ZERO exception.

    Edit: in response to Brewskier thinking he knows 4CHON.

    4Chan is more chaotic neutral than left or right.

    They love upsetting liberals and are very anti-PC, so they rallied behind a semi-ironic support of Trump, which solidified.

    Now that Trump is actually elected, that line of fun has ended, and I hypothesize the next funnest thing is to ruin Trump.

    The left is hysterical over the beating they just took and are willing to buy into anything without any regard to whether there is actual legitimacy. It is one thing for an individual to do that, but it is something entirely different when you have media entities that, laughably, attempt to portray themselves as "news" outlets doing it. Anyone can make a mistake, but it is clear that they have no interest in even attempting to verify any story that fits the narrative they are pushing.

    Whether its "the Russians hacked the power grid" when no such thing occurred or this latest 4chan business, there is simply no due-diligence. They just want the click-bait type headline and want to try to beat all the others to get it out first.

    Because they all live in a bubble and in their bubble that's all real. Their bubble says so.

    The problem with the anonymous post on 4chan claiming that it was a hoax is that the source wasn't even Wilson.

    Kinda' throws a wrench in the theory, no?

    The source has been named because 4chan got lots of news from alt right sites claiming it was them and it appears that the dude they thought they duped wasn't even involved.
