Vox lays it on the line regarding CNN's Russia report, which claims that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Russia has blackmail-worthy personal and financial info on Trump:

There is one thing, though, that we can say with absolute certainty. If the allegations are true, they will spark criminal investigations and the types of congressional probes that could end Trump’s presidency before it fully begins. If the allegations are false, Trump will accurately be able to say that he’d been slandered by a politicized intelligence community looking for ways to undermine his legitimacy.

I'm voting for: True.
