Yes.  It was known when the Steele dossier first came out that it was funded first by republicans during the primaries, then by the Clinton campaign.

Yes, I believe that we did.  Whether we just knew, or whether we knew-knew, I am not sure.

I am shocked to learn this information after I learned it nearly a year before!

The uranium story is another deja vu.  The original story did raise some interesting coincidences about the timing of donations and the Rosatom acquisition.  My understanding is that was investigated and closed, presumably b/c there was no evidence HRC intervened in the CFIUS process.  It doesn't seem like there is anything new here other than the fact that the FBI was investigating a trucking company paying kickbacks to a Rosatom sub.

Its that last bastion of the Trumpites, when in doubt yell crooked Hillary in as many ways as you can and hope something sticks.

Yeah, but it was completely buried by the failing New York Times.  They put in on the front page, where no conservative would bother to look!

Seriously though, the way this story has become demented in the Right wing mind is weird.  You have people claiming that Clinton sold all of our weapons-grade Uranium to the Russians.

Of course she didn't sell all of it to the Russians.   She gave it away.

Trump boasts of his Ivy League education to defend image
'I think to a certain extent, maybe I can blame the media. But politics is a rough business,' he said.

President Donald Trump touted his Ivy League education on Wednesday, highlighting his experiences as a college student nearly 50 years ago as proof that the media is reporting a false image of the 71-year-old president.

"I think the press makes me more uncivil than I am," Trump told reporters Wednesday afternoon before departing the White House.

"You know, people don't understand. I went to an Ivy League college," said Trump, who graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 1968. "I was a nice student. I did very well. I'm a very intelligent person. You know, the fact is, I think, I really believe, I think the press creates a different image of Donald Trump than the real person."

Trump did not elaborate on the apparent correlation between education and civility. But the president did accuse the media of reporting "fake stories" and "a lot of bad things" he said are untrue. He did not specify what stories he considered fake or untrue.

"I think to a certain extent, maybe I can blame the media. But politics is a rough business," he said. "There's no question about it. I will say this: I think the Republican Party has a pretty good unity."

Trump repeatedly insisted that the Republican Party is unified, telling reporters that the GOP has "pretty good," "great" and "tremendous" unity, despite the president's public feuds with Republican lawmakers. He tweeted Wednesday morning, for example, that two sitting Republican senators who have been critical of him "had zero chance of being elected" in 2018 but are acting "so hurt & wounded!"

"When somebody says something about you that's false, I think it's always OK to counterpunch or to fight back," Trump said.

Wednesday isn't the first time Trump has touted his intelligence. Trump jokingly challenged Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to an IQ test earlier this month, and he mentioned his education at a campaign rally in South Carolina, where he talked about the "level of stupidity" in the Obama administration.

"I used to use the word 'incompetent.' I'm very highly educated," he said on Dec. 30, 2015. "I know words. I have the best words, but there's no better word than 'stupid,' right? There is none. There is none."

Nonsense.  He watches Fox & Friends every morning.  He's totally connected.
