The most revealing aspect of this whole circus is that given what we know of Donald Trump’s character, his boasting (on the record, none the less) of sexually assaulting women, his propensity to lie, his absolute refusal to release any pertinent personal financial information, his history of shady business deals, and his complete subservience to Putin, the allegations in the dossier, outrageous as they may seem, are still very plausible.

But what is really needed is a special prosecutor to do a compete investigation, something along the lines of Ken Starr’s investigation into the Clinton Whitewater affair.
