No. We can’t. But we can condemn forever the repulsive British politicians and media gobshites who would side with him instead of us.

People missing the point ENTIRELY. This is nothing to do with the authenticity/credibility of the document. The attempt to suppress it is prima facie unlawful, explicit under s.(b)(1) of the act Congress passed last month, signed into law by Trump himself. "Turned out to be fake" is *not* a defence.
