    lol, okay. I guess you just choose to be ignorant and ignore everything that happened prior to Mueller being appointed.

    What are your opinions of Christopher Steele? Do you believe he was too incompetent o gather Russian intelligence given his work experience?

    No, you are hopelessly confused.

    In 2013, the FBI is performing counter intelligence operation and observes a Russian spy trying to recruit Carter Page. FBI is now actively monitoring Page as a counter intelligence operation. FISA Starts and must be renewed every 6 months.

    Dossier shows up about 3 1/2 years later.

    I was just clarifying that Mueller wasn't using the Steele Dossier so I wasn't sure why it was brought up.

    Yes there are other investigations that are ongoing. I'm not trying to ignore that. It's just that the redacted Mueller report is the one we have as of now.

    They won't flat out come out and say it because they know its sounds tin foil hat crazy, but its pretty obvious they think Steele is a Dem operative hired by Obama, Clinton, and the DNC as an insurance policy if Hillary lost to plant evidence with help from the Russians to play along with to compromise Trump if and when he won.

    The theory is based on a trap door, but what makes zero sense is that literally NONE of the evidence was used to actually help Hillary win the election. Also the fact that it was non other than Lindsay Graham who admitted himself that he was the one who handed over the Dossier to the FBI.

    So in order for the theory to be correct-

    A. Hillary would have had to be running to lose since she didn't even use said intel.
    B. Lindsay Graham & John McCain would need to be secret Democrats

    Also, the fact that we haven't seen a single Trump bootlicker try to frame Steele as an unreliable individual based on his work experience leads me to believe they have really no angle to attack Steele's competence in gathering Russian intelligence

    They also don't say that any of the confirmed intelligence isn't true. The case made by the hacks like Jim Jordan is that Trump & co. were setup. Not that they didn't actually do said acts (IE Michael Cohen negotiating directly with the Kremlin for Trump tower Moscow, etc.)

    The best legal defense for Trump & co. continues to be that they are all just a bunch of fumbling bumbling idiots who continue to hit legal potholes out of incompetence.

    To be fair though, based on the Mueller report especially, it is fairly true. Which might actually be worse than knowingly being a foreign agent.

    Lol. That’s how you and your ilk plan on handling this.... If you don’t read the report then Trump did no wrong! #total exoneration

    Well the ostrich defense is interesting.... are you not worried that you are basically admitting youre too weak to read the report?

    This was an excellent post, fchowd. Everyone who wants to consider the Mueller Report objectively would be well served by watching it.
