I wrote my column on Twitter.

Undecided on Trump dossier until Curveball weighs in.

Hope everyone had fun, but raw intel is like sixth-hand gossip in your FBI file. Didn't we all just pledge to do better? https://t.co/ijoQ6GpVI4

FYI: Our nation's leading news organizations have tried for months to verify the allegations in that dossier - unsuccessfully.

Also, the allegation isn't that Trump participated in golden showers, but that he watched prostitutes doing so. #CantEvenGetThatRight

Finally, most unbelievable allegation is that Trump was repeatedly offered business inducements and *refused* all of them.

1) This whole story is falling apart; 2) if this is true, those who mocked Kellyanne Conway for saying this were wrong & she was right. https://t.co/6fvgfLEhk7

Liberals take time out from (rightfully) lecturing Trumpists on facts to jump on unverified claims, rumors, innuendo because it feels good.

Kudos to @BuzzFeedBen and his team for publishing the dossier. Once CNN story out, citizens should have evidence to consider for themselves

— Richard Tofel (@dicktofel) January 11, 2017

I love Dick Tofel, but how in the world are citizens equipped to consider these claims for themselves when expert journalists and the intelligence community haven't been able to verify them after months of trying? Journalism is about presenting facts, not presenting rumors and letting readers "decide."

BuzzFeed apologists: Teach the debate! Let the people decide!

The beautiful thing about facts is that they exist regardless of your party identification.
