Something to note: (((Carl Bernstein))) was a party to the CNN article in the OP. He was who broke Watergate, and who the FBI leaks to.

Trump posted a tweet about the issue, before any official statement. "FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!"
So... fake news can come from multiple intelligence agencies, but we should totes trust random sites posting stories on FaceBook?Got it.
i wonder what barack and michelle are thinking right now
Russia is a whimpering animal backed into the corner lashing out in fear; they could started firing the fuel for a nuclear missile aimed at Kissimmee and I would still sit back and not flinch. Putin may have balls but he's not fucking stupid. Anything serious coming out of Russia will incur the wrath of European forces, in which case I can say that some good finally came from my globalist enemies. The only thing he'll get out of blackmailing Trump would just help them slightly economically after the Crimea sanctions. Either that or help Assad win his Civil War in which case, so fucking what? The US has no reason to even be involved in the Middle East.
Guys it was all just pol playing 4d chess again.
What the hell are you on about? We're talking about golden showers and you come put of left field with this.

But the danger is demonstrated with Trump’s “FAKE NEWS” rebuttal. When serious and conscientious outlets publish information for whose veracity they cannot vouch, they make it easy for critics of the press to brand all reporting with which they disagree as simply “fake news.”If the Trump dossier does prove to be full of inaccuracies, it will resurface in debate every time a credible and supported allegation about Trump emerges. Carefully vetted stories will be rejected by partisans who will haul up the haste to post a damaging dossier as proof that no reporting can really be trusted.

I want off this multidimensional ride.Am I missing something or does this entire story really just relies on the word of a random anon saying that he fed this information to Buzzfeed well after the fact? Because if so, I'm going to be even more skeptical about this than I am about the Trump implications.
