What am I factually wrong about? The Steele dossier originated with the bush campaign. Got passed to Hillary, she passed it to the fbi. Operation crossfire hurricane was born. Barr literally summarized a fiction of what the report actually said. Main takeaway was you can't induct a sitting president and collusion is not a statutory crime. Feel free to correct anything I posted, using facts please

THE STEELE DOSSIER DID NOT COME FROM THE BUSH CAMP!
Here it is, straight from that "right wing and pro-Trump" news source known as Wikipedia:
"Steele, a former head of the Russia Desk for British intelligence (MI6), was writing the report for the private investigative firm Fusion GPS, that was paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC)."

You didn't even read the shitty wiki, did you?
I mean, why would you? The citing I've given you proves you're full of shit.
It proves that everything you've posted is absolutely 100% incorrect.
Steele dossier originated with HRC/DNC, the separate report requested of Fusion GPS was about FDT's "domestic" affairs and had nothing to do with Russia.
That report was leaked by a Pub to the media and had been an "open secret" in Washington.
Steele dossier was passed by him directly to American and British intelligence........then Steele contacted an FBI agent to invite him to see his findings, lol. AND, it was a Dem operative/computer guy, who walked in "pro bono" (or was it pro boner) to tell the FBI the terrible news he'd come across as a public service.........
FBI started CH without vetting shit in the Steele doc, then compromised the FISA court and lied to them when they KNEW that they had no "probably cause" to start anything.
In the end, Mueller spent $20m and 2 years to state that he would "decline to accuse FDT because he had no evidence that could prove it" but he also "declined to exonerate him" stating that even though he didn't have the evidence.........there probably was some somewhere but they just couldn't find it after 2 years..........).gif) Total fuck-up and the guy was asleep at the time.
Here's the proof that you're full of shit on the first part but I'm not doing all your homework for you. Basically, you consider yourself some kind of "great debater", mainly cause you make "statements of fact" (that you got from your fav legacy media, lol) that are simply "opinion".........then you ignore the actual facts even when they're pointed out to you.........in other words, YOU ACT DUMB. Maybe you really are but I think it's just your ploy to fool the other idiots on the site. Here you go, citing the 2 DIFFERENT REPORTS (which I already did previously that you are playing dumb about)
"Two research operations and confusion between them
The opposition research conducted by Fusion GPS on Donald Trump was in two distinct operations, each with a different client. First were the Republicans, funded by The Washington Free Beacon. Then came the Democrats, funded by the DNC and the Clinton campaign.
The Republican operation, from October 2015 to May 2016, focused on Trump's domestic business and entertainment activities; was performed by Fusion GPS; and used Wayne Barrett's files and public sources. Immediately after the publication of the dossier, the media sometimes falsely assumed that the dossier started as a product of this research, so the Free Beacon released this statement: "none of the work product that the Free Beacon received appears in the Steele dossier".[38][39]
The Democratic operation, from April 2016 to December 2016, was focused on Trump's Russian connections; was subcontracted to Steele/Orbis; and used Steele's own source network and public sources. Only this second operation produced the dossier.[40][41]
From April to early May 2016, The Washington Free Beacon and the DNC/Clinton Campaign were independently both clients of Fusion GPS. This overlap contributed to the media's confusion."
Go ahead, make our day and play DUMB again

From CNN: Most likely your FAV "LEGACY MEDIA"
Democrats’ hidden hand revealed
Trump swiftly rejected Steele’s claims and said a “group of opponents … put that crap together.” Nearly five years later, it’s clearer than ever that he wasn’t too far off about the origins of the dossier.
Two special counsel investigations, multiple congressional inquiries, civil lawsuits in the US and the United Kingdom, and an internal Justice Department review have now fully unspooled the behind-the-scenes role that some Democrats played in this saga. They paid for the research, funneled information to Steele’s sources, and then urged the FBI to investigate Trump’s connections to Russia.
The Russia investigation: Everything you need to know
Mother Jones first revealed the existence of the dossier a few days before the 2016 election, and said the memos were part of an “opposition research project” underwritten by Democrats. Nearly a year passed before the full truth came out about the financing: The money flowed from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign to law firm Perkins Coie, to the research company Fusion GPS, and then ultimately to Steele, who got $168,000.
(Anti-Trump Republicans initially funded Fusion GPS’ research during the 2016 GOP primaries, but the Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee picked up the tab before Steele got involved.)
But Democratic involvement in Steele’s work was much deeper than previously known. Court filings from the Durham inquiry recently revealed that some information in the dossier originated from Charles Dolan, 71, a public relations executive with expertise in Russian affairs who had a decades-long political relationship with the Clinton family. He has not been accused of any crimes.
Federal prosecutors said Dolan was in regular contact in 2016 with Steele’s primary source Igor Danchenko, 49, a Russian citizen and foreign policy analyst who lives in Virginia. Danchenko was indicted on November 4 for allegedly lying to the FBI about his dealings with Dolan and a fellow Soviet-born expat that he claimed was one of his sources.
Danchenko pleaded not guilty last week. In a statement to CNN, his defense attorney Mark Schamel said Durham is pushing a “false narrative designed to humiliate and slander a renowned expert in business intelligence for political gain.” Schamel also accused Durham of including legally unnecessary information in the 39-page indictment to smear Danchenko.
“For the past five years, those with an agenda have sought to expose Mr. Danchenko’s identity and tarnish his reputation while undermining U.S. National Security,” Schamel said. “…This latest injustice will not stand. We will expose how Mr. Danchenko has been unfairly maligned by these false allegations.”
The indictment indirectly connected Dolan to the infamous claim that Russia possessed a compromising tape of Trump with prostitutes in Moscow, which became known as the “pee tape.” (Trump and Russia both denied the allegations.) According to the Danchenko indictment, in June 2016, Dolan toured the Ritz-Carlton suite where the alleged liaison occurred, and discussed Trump’s 2013 visit with hotel staff, but wasn’t told about any sexual escapades. It’s still unclear where those salacious details that ended up in the dossier came from.
Dolan was also indirectly linked in the indictment to still-unverified claims about Russian officials who were allegedly part of the election meddling. The indictment also suggested that Steele’s memos exaggerated what Dolan had passed along to Danchenko.
The indictment also says the dossier contained a relatively mundane item about Trump campaign infighting that Dolan later told the FBI he actually gleaned from news articles. Prosecutors say Dolan even lied to Danchenko about where he got the gossip, by attributing it to a “GOP friend” who was “a close associate of Trump.”
An attorney representing Dolan, Ralph Martin, declined to comment for this story because his client “is a witness in an ongoing case.”
Durham explicitly stated in the Danchenko indictment that the Clinton campaign didn’t direct, and wasn’t aware of, Dolan’s activities regarding the dossier. Clinton has said she only learned about the dossier when it was posted online, two months after the 2016 election. Senior Clinton campaign aides also said they found out about Steele’s work from press reports.
Clinton’s allies prod the FBI
The Danchenko indictment raises new concerns about the circular nature of portions of Steele’s work, and how it fit into a larger effort by Democrats to dirty up Trump. Clinton’s campaign funded the project, and we now know that much of the material in Steele’s memos ended up being mere political gossip. Steele then sent his explosive but unverified findings to the FBI and State Department.
While Steele was passing his tips onto the FBI in fall 2016, a Clinton campaign lawyer separately met with a senior FBI official and gave him information about strange cyberactivity between servers at the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank, the largest private bank in Russia.
The lawyer, Michael Sussmann, has since been charged with lying to the FBI during that meeting, for allegedly saying he wasn’t providing the dirt on behalf of any client, even though he ultimately billed that time to the Clinton campaign, and also billed them for other work he did on the server issue. Durham says Sussmann repeated this lie during a meeting with CIA officials in February 2017, where he told them about the server theory. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.
The indictment says Sussman peddled the same material to a Slate reporter, who published a story right before the election. The story said reputable computer scientists uncovered unusual activity between servers belonging to the Trump Organization and the Moscow-based Alfa Bank, suggesting a secret backchannel.
PLAY DUMB SOME MORE

Here's a 3 stack for you "playing dumbase"
Let's give Mueller a +1 for your side
Let's give Durham a +1 for the other side
Oooops, there's that pesky Inspector General Horowitz report, totally independent of both sides.
The report confirms everything I already posted, then lambasted the FBI for LYING to the FISA court and pressing Operation Crossfire Hurricane without any probably cause or really any evidence AT ALL.
+1 for those other guys, final score +2 to +1
You're out half way to first base on a trip and fall tag, iWantoLose, iNeedtoLose, iHavetoLose

Can't disagree. I just googled lol who started the Steele dossier and came across a few stories that basically confirm what you're saying. The Washington Free Beacon hired Fusion GPS to dig up oppo research on trump then the Clinton campaign ran with Fusion GPS and Steele came in after the Clinton campaign got involved. I had always heard it was an initial republican oppo research project that got abandoned once the candidate was clearly out of the running and taken up by HRC's people. Basically what I get for relying on Twitter for most of my news lol. Anyways you're right, I don't argue to argue unless I think I'm right. Once proven otherwise I concede and move on. Arguing just to hear yourself blabber on is idiotic unless you're factually correct imo

"Once proven otherwise I concede and move on. Arguing just to hear yourself blabber on is idiotic unless you're factually correct imo"
LOFL, guess who was factually correct?
"Ooops, my bad.
Turns out I was wrong, oh well but why do you have to push it my face?
Let's move on, nothing to see here."
But, check it out............I googled something, that's quite an improvement
Nah, fuck that.......I'll just have an opinion, we don't need no stinkin' facts
Pretty sure this is your standard MO.
Fucking lazy as fuck is what you are but damn good at spoofing, bullshitting and fake debating
Just cause you like to argue.............

I just noticed that Twitter (X) is your idea of "legacy media".
That's what you rely on for your "factual news"?
Lazy as fuck........
Case closed, let's move on.

another quick double-digit ERA to start the game for dogs 20.25
holly shi
they better wake the fuck up in this thing
keep watching your future SHO HEY

I don't consider Twitter as legacy media but until Elon boughtitand broke it it was the most up to date in real time source to get news. Now it's pretty much trash lol. I still read it about as much as I read HX the accounts I follow are a mixture of political and funny memes. You can look me up if you want, my handle is @Nigga_ru_4real

I'm a pass on Shohei, personally I think if he's going to insist on pitching as a regular member of whatever team that signs him as a starter he's going to break down again. He's going to command at least a minimum of a 10 year contract if not 12-14 years and at about 50-55 million per year. Too much of a risk imo that he remains healthy for the entirety of the contract it's gonna take to sign him.
|
|
|
ya...not quite sure what he will get
i'm good with him trying to continue it all. probably NEEDS more team management on watching his health...HE had the power in that relationship. he did flourish and that was very cool to see
probably one of the reasons we think he comes back
500m might have sailed though
it's possible they come up with a hybrid type contract for him...that pays extra when he pitches...games started type of thing
he's probably ok with it...as long as he controls most of it.
he does bring in quite a bit of money from foreign ads...so it's more of a salary cap issue thing than total contract outlay

I honestly can't see him re-signing wut the Angels under any circumstances. He wants to be on a perennial playoff team. Which is why the Dodgers will be the heavy favorite to sign him. By all accounts he loves SoCal and the Dodgers are just an hour away from Anaheim so he wouldn't even have to buy a new home if he didn't want to. That and they can offer him anything he asks for monetarily, I believe the angels are a bit more meager in their ability to pay 500-600 million. Dodgers haven't missed the playoffs in 11 years, have one of the deepest farm systems in all of baseball, world class stadium, great pitching coaches, a stellar GM and even though I don't like Roberts as an in game manager he's definitely a players manager.never hear of any of his current or former players bad mouthing him and he definitely appears to have great interpersonal skills. In short the Dodgers are everything Shohei wants and the angels are not lol

wow another double-digit outing from the dogs...three in a row to start each game
L. Lynn
2.2 6 4 0 1 48-29 13.50
maybe they DO need SHO HEY
|
|
|
I would sign him if he took 6-6 years at 60 million a year. I don't trust him holding up for ten or twelve years of he's going to remain a starting pitcher

Blah, blah, blah.... why are you trying to bullshit the ignorant.? You forgot about george papadopoulos blabbing to the australian diplomat that the russians had shit on hillary.
A small detail. July 2016 crossfire hurricane investigation starts. NOT because of the Steele dossier.
Then the FISA warrants were renewals of warrants that were already legally obtained warrants.
The DOJ OIG Horowitz attributed the warrant problems to "gross incompetence and negligence" rather than malfeasance or political bias.
Another FACT you left out. Your shtick is pretty obvious.
i'd say you have a biased view... not based on ALL the facts. Your omissions are showing.

mbc, let me ask you this simple question:
If contacts between a candidate/National Committee and foreign governments are grounds for FBI investigation of collusion, then why didn't the FBI dig deeper into the connections between the Clinton Foundation and the Russians prior to FDT ever coming on the scene?
"Some investors donated millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. Former President Bill Clinton also received a $500,000 speaking fee in Russia and reportedly met with Vladimir Putin around the time of the deal.
AN FBI informant, alleged that Moscow paid millions of dollars to a lobbying firm to help Bill Clinton’s charities in order to influence Hillary Clinton, who was then former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state."
EVERYBODY knows that the Clinton Foundation was a PAY for PLAY entity. That's why all the money dried up after Hillary lost in 2016. No more "influence" to be peddled, lol.
Guess who did all the investigating into the Clinton Foundation's connection to overseas (including Russian) money? ALL the same attorneys that raised the red flag about FDT collusion ..........McCabe, Rosenstein, Mueller, et al.
So, they cleared Hilly & the DNC on real connections, then went after another opposing candidate on mostly bullshit AND lied to the FISA court (one atty. went down for changing email information).
Meanwhile, of course, since you know so much, maybe you ALSO know that the major parties ALL reach out to both allies and enemies to have meetings prior to the election. This is done so that all the players have some idea of WTF is going on. Hilly had open meetings with Russian reps prior to the election and they're disclosed.........what was said, what happened there?
Bottom line is you do NOT actually know shit and I don't know shit about what happened in those meetings on BOTH sides......but you assume that one is guilty and the other innocent due to your partisan ideologue predilections.
It's that simple...........and like the lady said.
You need to go get laid.

What the hell happened to the spacing on this blog, lol?
|
|

All I did was point out the bullshit YOU typed. You seem to think that
you drive the narrative here by flooding the boards with absolute lies and hearsay.
I know exactly what you're trying to do. I'm amazed at your effort to spread
disinformation and confusion for the benefit of trump.
|
|
|
LOL, what an idiot.
I didn't even vote for Trump........twice, can't stand the lying narcissist.
Just like to NOT see any President elect be subjected to rogue Fed government bureaucracies.
Would've said the same thing if it had been a Dem.
Worst government law-breaking since Nixon covered up Watergate.
Yet, you seem to be fine with it.
Guessing you didn't mind at ALL when FJB LIED on stage that his son's laptop was a Russian disinformation campaign........then got 50 other liars to back him up.
The nicest thing we can assign to you is hypocritical imbecile.
You're just fine with lies and disinformation, as long as it's from the people you LIKE and voted for.
YOU, otoh.......have a record of posting complete unmitigated bullshit that has no grounding in reality.
But, you do you champ!
For the record, I've said a million times on this board that I don't want to see either FDT or FJB as president again..........frankly, I'd like to see the flag lowered to half-mast for both of them before the 2024 election.
