I just don't think that stories like this are just smoke with no fire behind it, or that you could have even SOME of stuff like this or the things in that dossier without there being very intentional actions behind them. Sure, the dossier needs to be verified, but just based on what we know, there's so much "there" there that I don't know how much it matters if a bunch of that dossier turns out to be inaccurate; the reality of Trump and his peoples' support for Russia is inarguable, the only question is how deep it goes. And reports like the one above sure suggest that yes, it's as deep as it seems. Which would make sense, with how tightly people like Manafort are tied to Russia!
