State Dept Official met with Christopher Steele before FBI filed FISA application

*Nobody on the left cares one bit about it.*

No doubt, the left doesn't want to know the dossier was no more than an uncorroborated political hit piece.

How many years have we been hearing about 'the dossier' now? Is it three years yet? What has come out of all the investigations that the Republicans had about the Steele dossier? What horrible crime has been uncovered showing that there was a 'deep state' conspiracy? One more phony investigation meant to pump up the Trump base isn't going to amount to a hill of beans. But hang your hats on it today because right now it's all you have.
 
The Steele dossier lacks credibility because some right wing flunky doesn't know how to take notes? :lamo:

Lol ! At she least she knows how to read, and no, it lacks credibility because it's filled with lies

Riiiiiiiiight, the Steele dossier, one of the mainstays the of the entire investigation and the FBI didn't/couldn't corroborate it.

People such as yourself don't even really comprehend exactly what the Steele dossier was. The dossier was actually a series of reports—16 in all—that total 35 pages. It was written in 2016, and it's a collection of raw intelligence. Steele neither evaluated nor synthesized the intelligence. He neither made nor rendered bottom-line judgments. The dossier is, quite simply and by design, raw reporting, not a finished intelligence product.

Christopher Steele recorded what he was told by witnesses during investigations. This is exactly what a MI6 British intelligence agent has been trained to do. The substance of these memorandum can be true or false, but the recording of information is (or should be) accurate. In that sense, notes taken by a special agent have much in common with the notes that a journalist might take while covering a story—the substance of those notes could be true or false, depending on what the source tells the journalist, but the transcription should be accurate.

Witch-hunting the dossier is the only thread left that the right has to pull on, so they'll do that. That's fine, that's their right. It's going to be a big waste of taxpayer money because it's already been scrutinized and dissected many times by many Republicans including the sycophantic, rabid Freedom Caucus Senators. The dossier has held up well over time, and none of it has been disproved.
 
Yes, filled with lies but the only one you can identify doesn't exist

Right, because there are, according to the dossier Russian consular officials in Miami but no consulate.. .:roll:

That's not even the worst of what's in her memo's. She said that Christopher Steele told her that Orbis was working for the DNC.

" Orbis undertook the investigation into the Russia/Trump connection at the behest of an institution he declined to identify that had been hacked "

So she knew the DNC hired Orbis, and they wanted Steele's information released before the election.
Steele said his " client was keen to get this information released before the election "

She forwarded her notes and concerns to an " Executive FBI official " 10 days before the FBI submitted their first FISA application

I'm " keen " on finding out who that executive FBI official was, aren't you ?


Here are a few more debunked claims that we're included in the dossier


Trump lawyer Michael Cohen traveled to Prague to meet with Russians;

Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort owed the Russians $100 million and was the "go-between" from Russian President Vladimir Putin to Trump;

Trump adviser Carter Page met with a senior Russian businessman tied to Putin;

The Russians secretly communicated with Trump through a computer system.

Yes, the Steele dossier says there's a consulate in Miami even though it doesn't say there's a consulate in Miami

The uncorroborated dossier was used to facilitate a FISA warrant to spy on an American citizen. Surely you're not suggesting spying on American citizens ??

A legal FISA warrant is not 'spying', that's what the CIA does, a FISA warrant issued by a judge and in this particular case, 3 different times by 2 different federal judges, is surveillance, not spying.

The uncorroborated dossier puts the FISA warrant in guestion HumblePi.
 
I'm kinda of curious what the far right loony bin is cooking up for their latest conspiracy attack on Democrats. Only because we have a far right lunatic president and who installed a corrupt attorney general.

Funny stuff... It's Trump's fault. Smell the fear..... The whole charade is about to crash down.

Ah yes, the idiotic debate board move - probably older than you - of announcing that your target is [insert emotion].

At any rate, were you to actually smell "fear" it would be fear that Trump cultists are irreparably damaging American democracy. And worse, they're doing it just to try to score dishonest political points.





Know what looks more like fear? A President declaring that a report "totally exonerated" him and then when articles about the very many piles of obstruction detailed in that report come out, clamping up and attempting to stonewall in every way possible. That's what fear looks like.

If your narrative is correct, then Trump knows he's innocent and knows the people who would testify in congress must be the people who conspired against him. The GOP would know this too. Now why on Earth would they simultaneously be afraid to hear testimony that supposedly "totally exonerate" Trump AND afraid to question the people they accuse of trying to frame Trump under oath, where perjury would lead to jail?

Now, you are one of those people that tried to pick a DP name that makes you sound more credible. So why don't you see if you can apply "common sense" to this situation? (Do it in your head. I know exactly what kind of stupid dishonest bull**** you'll type. But you should at least think to yourself honestly. Your fellow Trumpists won't be able to tell what you're thinking, now will they? You won't get kicked out of the club.

We could be entering banana republic territory soon. If they start prosecuting Comey for nothing.

If that post is indicative of the Democrats response to the continued release of information and details surrounding this scandal then that party is absolutely screwed
It comes off as a really desperate attempt at diversion and it's simply not going to work.

That train left the station back when Obama started spying on US journalist and our Nato allies and their leaders
Hell, John Brennan spied on the Congressional committee that's responsible for overseeing his agency and then he lied under oath about it

How does this investigation irreparably damage American Democracy ? Holding corrupt Govt officials who abused their positions and authoity for political purposes does the opposite.
