This dossier seems to have been an open secret amongst upper level officials in he US and abroad for a while. I heard a former administration official commenting on it last night, that it shouldn't have been presented to the current or upcoming administration until they knew more about it. Fat chance of keeping something that damning a secret. Turnabout's fair play, though, and with the dirty tricks heaped upon Hillary's candidacy, it's only too bad the nasty Trump stuff didn't surface in time to be taken into account by voters. But wait - a lot of it was - and seemed to make little difference (in those few states that actually decided the election - rational people in other states didn't vote for him, but their votes didn't count. We gotta fix that Electoral College nonsense now, and for good.)
