Now that the credibility of the Ex Mi-6 agent has been vouched for by various intelligence communities from NATO

Names, places and facts, only then is it credible.
Please read the document. It includes names, places, and dates. Some of the details are difficult to corroborate, but it is a fact that Trump stayed in the hotel mentioned.

It seems some have disappeared down a rabbit hole and ended up trying to push a false notion that now the document is out there, it has to be proven fake. It's an effort to legitimise fake news, but the tried and trusted process of requiring allegations to be proven before they are accepted will not yield to such poor debating tactics.
The fact Trump was in Russia in 2013 is already public knowledge and we know why he was there already.
Several people have been there over the years.
But is there video of him doing these acts?

Congratulations! By posting lengthy quotes and irrelevant jabs you and your cronies have rolled the page over to bury these posts:

A document has been submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee. That is a fact, not "fake news." Are you saying that this document should be kept from the public? That would be censorship, plain and simple. The people have a right to determine for themselves if the document is authentic and if its claims are true.
You have asserted, not that you doubt that the document is authentic, or its contents potentially false, but that it is a fake. This puts the burden of proof on you.
Personally, I have no doubt that the dossier contains some creative writing. It was intended to be used by Trump's political enemies to sully his already bad reputation. My contention has always been that Trump's public personality leaves him open to allegations of this sort because his behavior makes them seem plausible.
Now, please stop propping up your straw man and explain why you think this is not the case. Is Trump so virtuous that no-onw would believe that he is corrupt or potentially a sexual deviant?

What if there is? His supporters would claim that they are "fake." Incidentally, it is not in Russia's interest to release these tapes, so, as the Kremlin would say: "We may never know the truth."
I STILL await evidence that the detail in the document are true. I know you don't have any as I am following the story and nothing of any substance has been confirmed.

I STILL await evidence that the details in the document are fake. I know you don't have any either, so why are you so convinced it is fake?
You have yet to explain why you feel it is inherently implausible, or why Trump, unlike every other human being, is incapable of being targeted for blackmail.
The burden of proof remains on those making allegations.

You are the one alleging they are fake. I am not alleging they are true, only that they exist. I have proven the document exists. The fact that it has been submitted to a Senate Committee makes it news, which has been reliably reported. Not to report it would be censorship. Now please stop deflecting.
Prove the allegations in the document.

Drop the strawman. I have never claimed the allegations are true. You, on the other hand, keep claiming that the document is fake. That is a positive assertion and it puts the burden of proof squarely on you.

Then why are Trump and his followers screaming about CNN, Buzzfeed and fake news about the document? All they reported was that the document existed and the info in the document had not been verified.
