I'm desperate for any scandal that would derail a Trump inauguration, but I have a bad feeling about these latest bombshells. For starters, they seem waaayy too good to be true. The way they came out, after supposedly swilling around for months, seems suspect (timing). But the real thing that makes me pause is this: Would President Obama have allowed the election to proceed if he had intel that Trump was actively colluding with Russia as described in the dossier? I know he didn't want to be overly partisan and swing the election, but we're talking about very serious offenses.

Now I'm afraid this is going to turn out to be a bust, and leave the anti-Trump crowd looking ridiculous. That it will give him plausible deniability for other things he really has done, and will allow him to neuter the press.

Maybe we should put on the brakes and demand a thorough investigation.
