    Well, to be fair to the alt-right conspiracy junkies, that's not entirely true...

    Mother Jones/David Corn published the existence (not the specifics) of the dossier on Halloween... fitting, huh?

    https://www.motherjones.com/politic...ing-russian-operation-cultivate-donald-trump/

    But Mother Jones is not exactly a national outlet either... the majority of the US didn't know about this at the time of the election.

    Not by the D campaign. Not a peep from HRC herself certainly and not a squeak or even a whisper from anyone on her staff. She's crafty like that. So crafty nobody heard anything about it until after the election.

    Not a leak about it or Crossfire Hurricane before the election except that Steele himself released a statement to Mother Jones about his findings after Comey executed his October surprise.

    The Dossier didn't gain widespread attention until Buzzfeed released it Jan 10, 2017.

    Links, you should provide them, they will enhance your credibility and broaden your mind to help correct some of your erroneously held opinions.

    I can understand your confusion when you jump in to the middle of convos.

    Take care.

    so you're saying he attempted it, but then decided not to as you can't say he failed to complete it... just like his failed quid pro quo attempt

    well colluding and a quid pro que wouldn't be a good thing with a foreign govt to help when an election...aren't you glad he didn't do it?

    Unlike Clinton and the DNC with Russia and Obama and Biden in 2012 with Putin.

    nope, Hillary gave the info to the FBI like she was supposed too, she did not use it... would have Trump done the same?

    DUH they didn't do it in public, it was HILLARY'S bought and paid for dossier which she controlled and it was all done at her direction to attack Trump.


    What are you denying? Are you denying the Clinton campaign and DNC solicited and bought and paid for the Steele dossier through a foreign agent in order to get alleged Russian dirt on Trump? That they fed it to the FBI to get an investigation going hoping to ruin the Trump campaign and then after that didn't work and he won to use it to discredit the administration the ultimate goal being to get him removed? Fusion was peddling it to reporters the summer of 2016 and Michael Iskoff was reporting on in in September followed up by David Corn reporting about it.

    What specifically do you need a link to?

    False Fusion was bringing in journalist the summer of 2016 briefing them on it and the first reporting based on it was published in September by Michael Isakoff followed by reporting by David Corn.

    Regarding links I refer you back to posts 65 and 66, for which I am still waiting....

    Before I let you change the subject, what is it that you are denying?

    Are you denying that Comey twice inserted himself in 2016 with pejorative statements about Clinton while at no point did he make any statements about Trump?

    he did it, he just got caught before he could complete it, in fact he was impeached over it

    he was not impeached over the mueller report.

    he was impeached because he challenged the house in court over something completely different

    he wasn’t inpeaxhed for anything he did. during the election.

    moreover didn’t do anything. There was an attempt by russia but as you highlighted wasn’t successful.

    meanwhile the russians got paid by the dnc and clinton for disinformation.

    congrats

    I have to agree with Lesh that it was far too kind to Comey.

    Jeff Daniels didn't work real well for me, but I can't really imagine a better typecast.

    I think maybe it would have better and far more appropriate if Comey had played himself.

    Brendan Gleeson, why? Alec Baldwin wasn't available?

    Also, maybe more importantly, the end result of 3h 30m for me was that it sucked just about exactly as I had expected it would.

    I give it an F.

    What I'm waiting for, is a Wag the Dog style expose that provides a fictionalized narrative of Trump-Putin pillow talk and ties that back in to all of the explicit destruction Trump continues to do to the US and to its western alliances.

    This waste of time only served to portray Comey as a guy who did the wrong thing for what he ostensibly, according to Billy Ray, thought were the right reasons.
