Did Trump get a copy of the dossier??

I find the timing of its release very suspicious.

It was very convenient that it was released the evening before his press conference the next day.

From what we have seen of Trump thus far, we can see that he is very good at manipulating the media.

It distracted from his news conference and the obvious conflicts of interest in naming his sons as in charge of his businesses. He had to know that it was going to raise a big stink.

But, fortunately for Trump, the PissGate story gave him an opportunity to attack the press and to take attention away from his business conflicts.

I'm wondering if it was just a coincidence?

1. That was my first thought right out of the gate.

The only thing that has me wondering if it was someone else (outside of Trump's bubble) is his seemingly over the top response to the report and his subsequent lying.

He also doesn't listen to anyone so maybe his 'people' are leaking these type of things and then throwing Trump out in front to spew his bile after some instruction.
