Well, I don't know. After all, Hill and Obama never had a single dossier, much less two of them.

out there. Some real, some faked. Real ones are real Kompromat. Fake ones were either for money or to confuse/discredit the real ones. Pee tape might not be one of the real ones.

Did this come from Bannon? Or from the Mercers, to further discredit Bannon? The long knives are out.

Oh, or better yet, Rebekah Mercer?!

It seems only logical considering how the GOP are all over Fusion GPS re: the Steele dossier.

Trump's Twitter trollbots have suddenly renamed the "Steele dossier" to "Trump dossier" instead. Geeee, I wonder why?
Wouldn't want anyone searching for the new dossier to find out the details!
I had to search "trump dossier bannon" to find the CNN news. The trolls are really blasting away to suppress this news.



https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/1/8/1730870/-Steve-Bannon-and-the-Mercer-family-helped-assemble-research-on-Trump-s-mob-connections

............. The Mercers funded an anti-Trump document then, but they’re solidly on team Trump now. So solidly that they burned all bridges to long-term asset Steve Bannon because he dared let slip some Trump-singeing statements. Bannon is attempting to scramble back into the favor of both Trump and the Mercers, but since Donald Trump’s few remaining memory cells seem to be reserved for people who wronged him, it would seem unlikely that Bannon is going to be visiting the White House soon.

Of course, it also seems like the Mercers burned Trump, but they have something that Bannon doesn’t … 12.5 billion somethings, according to Forbes. And they’re willing to spend many, many of them to salve Trump’s chapped hide.

All hands are denying that they gave this document to Trump opponents … they only gave it to potential donors to Trump opponents. And news organizations. So practically no one.

CNN has a copy of the document, but hasn’t yet shared the full contents, so it’s difficult to say how much this overlaps with some of the financial information included in the Steele dossier, which started out as a similar collection of opposition research.
