Jesus Christ dude, maybe actually learn the timeline before embarrassing yourself.
“To begin with, the New York Times reported in December of last year that the FBI investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia began when George Papadopoulos drunkenly boasted to an Australian diplomat about Russian dirt on Hillary Clinton. It was the disclosure of this episode by the Australians that “led the F.B.I. to open an investigation in July 2016 into Russia’s attempts to disrupt the election and whether any of President Trump’s associates conspired,” the NYT claimed.
But it now seems clear that Halper’s attempts to gather information for the FBI began before that. “The professor’s interactions with Trump advisers began a few weeks before the opening of the investigation, when Page met the professor at the British symposium,” the Post reported.
And it suggests that CIA operatives, apparently working with at least some factions within the FBI, were trying to gather information about the Trump campaign earlier than had been previously reported.
Then there are questions about what appear to be some fairly substantial government payments to Halper throughout 2016. Halper continues to be listed as a “vendor” by websites that track payments by the federal government to private contractors.”

Unless there is more to the story, Greenwald seems to be conflating the FBI investigation into possible ties between Team Trump and Russia with US intel looking into Page. Now if you look at what I previously posted about Page's interactions with Russian spy Podobnyy in 2013, which was long before Trump came down the escalator and started talking about Mexican rapists, you can see why US intel would be looking at him. The FBI had interviewed him about those contacts back then, and although he wasn't charged in 2015 when the FBI brought charges against one of the spies affiliated with Podobnyy in an espionage ring, Page was on their radar screen. The point of US intel looking into Page at that point in 2016 wouldn't have been the deep state trying to find a way to stop Trump from making America great again, it was out of a concern that a member of Trump's Team was being manipulated by the Kremlin. I mean why the fuck did Trump hire Page in the first place? And the same can be asked about George P, or Manafort, or Flynn, or Stone. What a clown car...But all of that is actually an aside to your question about what George P and Page did to earn being investigated, which I already answered in my previous post, so you can stop trying to defend those two creeps.
"Do we really want to deter people from presidential politics just because a federal court finds probably cause to suspect them of espionage or serious financial crimes?" David Frum
P.S. Do you actually believe that George P's wife is one of those Italians with a Russian accent as she claims <puh-lease75>, or do you think that, perhaps, she has not been totally candid about her backstory?

“I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated,” “spying on a political campaign is a big deal.” Bill Barr
"when the attorney general of the United States uses the word ‘spying,’ it’s rather provocative and in my view unnecessarily inflammatory.” Senator Brain Schatz stated to Barr later in the hearing.
“Um, did you say that I said that it occurred?"
" I just want to make it clear, thinking back on all the different colloquies here, that I am not saying that improper surveillance occurred,” “I am saying I am concerned about it and looking into it, that’s all.” Barr offered at the close of the hearing.

Just like Trump. Make a gaudy claim, then immediately backtrack like a bitch.
Cake, he’s not conflating anything, you’re just uninformed. If you really want to educate yourself, read the thread you’re in, the timeline is laid out in detail.
This is why you’re not even worth debating. I provide you with an article, from a left leaning source btw, showing you you’re wrong, and I get a wall of text that spins it’s way to GP’s wife.

He responded to your fake timeline in detail by offering his own.
And as usual, you dodge and post a gif like the little troll you are.
Oh my, the lightweight squad is here.
His “timeline” is just wrong. It is indisputable that Halper was dispatched before the downer conversation was relayed to US authorities.
Again, I’m the one that provided sources. You folks haven’t provided anything but laughs.

Herp derp, goose is loose, derp derp.
It was disputed in this very thread a few posts ago retard.
It was wrong and unsourced. GP could not have been targeted because of the Downer conversation because Halper was already dispatched prior to the conversation being relayed to US authorities.
Fact.
Source your claim or back to the minor leagues with you.

Solid rebutal bob.
Or let me phrase it like all your responses so that I'm speaking the same sort of broken english you understand:
You just went full potato in all your posts. The timeline we gave you is 100% true. Undeniable FACT.
The Balls are to the walls in this thread!

^^^ look everyone, an unsourced claim.
Imagine my surprise....
Again, Halper was dispatched BEFORE the Downer conversation was ever relayed to US authorities. As I stated and sourced a couple pages back in an article by the left leaning Glenn Greenwald.
Fact. Now, back to the minor leagues Darkballs, you’re not on da goose’s level

No irony. You have to be painfully dumb to not have known it Mueller who got all those indictments and guilty pleas and convictions.

@Cake4Breakfast is writing some good posts.
I am thankful I do not see Bob's posts anymore as I put him on ignore some time ago. He adds nothing to these discussions and only makes it harder to have actual conversations about true issues (controversial or not) with his trolling. He will say 'Mueller was wearing a blue suit and that shows he is a Dem...' and he will stick to it like a dog, you will show him an actual picture that it was red and he ignore, post some useless memes as reply and then just go back to saying it later.
Some trolls at least try to use actual material to lie. They are trying to construct real arguments. But as you see with the timeline stuff here Bob's arguments have zero to do with anything factual or accurate. He just does not care.
It a huge plus how sherdog updated its ignore feature so you can see conversations but not see a single post by the person ignored. It is very good at now at not destroying the flow. And these threads without Bob actually look like a conversation, even if a contentious one.
Pretty sure I started the discussion...
PS, Imagine being that
These Russia threads have truly delivered.

We all know he's stupid and certainly worth being on ignore. But the kid's so easily triggered just by simple rebuttals, it's fun to watch him squirm.

i just find he spams so much stupidity that it actually buries any attempt to actually discuss an issue intelligently. It always becomes people easily refuting and making fun of him for his stupidity but in such volume that the actual topics die off.
