    Trump, 2016: Hey Wikileaks, if you've got any more of those Clinton emails I would love to see them. Please. Great opposition research. Enjoy!

    Trump, 2017: How dare somebody have funded opposition research against me? Very unfair. Sad!

    Because that distinction doesn't change anything. It is not a crime to fund research, nor is it ethically wrong.

    Yes they are. There is a discussion as too whether or not they are to register as a foreign agent representative, because they were hired by an American Firm, who represents a Russian. A nice tag line because it contains the word russia in it, but fairly irrelevant to this.

    Good. Mueller has my full support.

    Doesn't matter. Mueller has my full support.

    How much does it really cost to make a fake dossier anyway? Why do you need multiple funders to pay a British former spy when you can hire a blogger in Macedonia to do the same thing for pennies on the dollar?

    Tell me again, didn't President Trump tell his son to say the Trump Tower meeting was about adoptions?

    I'll go ahead and get ahead of the usual tactical response team in this thread:

    ... top secret emails were given to Russia to get back the uranium, so that Russia could leak them to WikiLeaks and help her campaign.

    I wish Clutch would audit you. At this point I don't even care if you're right. You will never get a like from me.

    Really fascinating, coldly rational article. Seems very balanced in all and suprisingly non-political. It's really just about how smart intelligence agencies work to influence people, and what the Russians were probably thinking if they're smart (and they usually are).

    Thanks for sharing it.
