We were promised a bombshell by Lincoln Project today and that seems to have fizzled, but here’s one from across the pond.

The Telegraph (subscription required):
The former MI6 spy Christopher Steele produced a second dossier for the FBI on Donald Trump while he was in the White House, sources told The Telegraph. Mr Steele filed a series of intelligence reports to US authorities during the Trump presidency, including information concerning alleged sexual exploits.
Oh boy, pee pee tape. Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the powder room.
Mr Steele’s original leaked dossier detailed allegations of misconduct, conspiracy and cooperation between Mr Trump’s presidential campaign team and Vladimir Putin’s government.
It also contained the sensational claim that the Kremlin was in possession of compromising material, including a sex tape of Mr Trump with a prostitute at a hotel in Moscow in 2013.
The former president has strongly denied the claims made in the Steele dossier, denouncing it as fake news.
The emergence of the 35-page dossier, written between June and December 2016, did not it appears signal an end to the former MI6 officer’s working relationship with the FBI and continued after Mr Trump’s inauguration in January 2017.
The Telegraph understands that Mr Steele, through his company Orbis Business Intelligence, continued supplying raw intelligence to the federal authorities in the US.
It will be intriguing to see if this goes the way of Steele’s first dossier. Without having a little concrete detail, that’s possible to assess. But the saga of Trump and Russia does seem to go on and on.

Yuck. I’d pay $20 for someone to black out anything worse than PG rated before I read that dossier, gross. Actually, since I already paid the $20, why don’t they just black it all out then burn it.
The “bombshell” was a bit more low key than expected but I’m pretty sure I know what they were talking about. The first congressman has been charged in connection to the insurrection, complete with video tape letting them inside.
Placing anyone in the process of breaking in the Capitol building will be a huge mark against their party AND Trump …
There are few if any Republicans that won’t develop the loose lips that sink Trumpism …
Movies and TV shows have pretty much shown the dangers in prison that can ruin the days of the most wealthy and high living politicians and law enforcement officers … these accurate descriptive productions, can flip a complicit Republican in a New York Minute …
I believe that was an Oregon State legislator, and it happend in Salem, OR, not in Washington DC.
It means nothing if nothing happens.
The Telegraph belongs on the rack at the checkstand. That’s how reliable it is.
I’m sure this will be as big a nothing burger as the last one.
Though it will give Maddow & Co. hours of “news” to prattle on about.
Does ‘prostitute’ mean a woman, man, or farm animal? The talking beard had2 get his animal fetish from somewhere, some people say. His daddy is suspect #1.
