THE REPORT, buttoned up (SCO Thread v. 33)

[Happy Man]

Well, it’s confirmed to be a, “fake,” thing according to the source in the footnote he is referencing.

“Rtskhiladze also told prosecutors that he was told the tapes were fake, but that he didn't convey that to Cohen.”

But definitively RETWEET this and keep it going. Seth Abramson is on top of this.

Lol this mania is so ridiculous

 

[Madmick]

Lol not st all though. He doesn’t have anything to hide. Mueller had FREE REIGN to do anything he wanted.

Everyone was so sure of his slow and methodical approach. All the talk of flipping a low guy, then flipping another, then up the ranks, flip flip flip.

Turns out there was nothing there

Except that there was 36 fishes in that basket of his.

And they weren’t all of those convictions for things unrelated?

I think most of them got busted for lying to FBI about other shit.

Lot of crooks and Russians.

It was a bitch to find this in the report, but yeah I have to agree that Abramson is mischaracterizing this and it's not true that there's definitely "something there."

Although I doubt you'll make a similar concession that this gives credibility to the Steele Dossier (unverified raw intelligence, which it turns out, this in fact was, and Steele did well to pick it up since it even reached Trump's ear). Let's test your character a little. You got any?

 

[BarryDillon]

It’s not bullshit st all. Mueller was free to do as he pleased.

If trump starts a war with Iran. I will not vote for him. If Bernie promises to end that war, I’d vote for him. If not, I’ll vote for Jesus.

I'm going to hold you to this.

 

[Bloody Pulp]

It seems very very

I would if I thought it did. I don’t.

Ha, yeah of course you wouldn't. It's a one-way thing for you. No balls.

Ok, go on and tell us how Steele’s dossier is now credible.

 

[SurferH2O]

I think Mueller screwed this up. I don't know if he did because his team was too damn partisan (Democrats), or if his goal was to just screw Trump over.

Here are questions he failed to answer. It's pretty crazy that he spent all that time and can't answer these questions.

(Some of my questions are hyperlinks to prove the veracity of the question.)

1. How did Russian Natalia Veselnitskaya involved with Hillary Clinton and Fusion GPS end up at the bogus Trump Tower meeting? (Note: She instigated the meeting)

2. How did a foreign agent and paid for by Hillary Clinton and the DNC (Christopher Steele) work with Russian agents to create a bogus dossier, which was used to attack the Presidency?

3. How did a known CIA Spy Stevan Halpern a high level guy contact George Papadopoulos (low level guy) to meet him in London? Halpern showed up with a female "honeypot" assistant for the meeting and Halpern tried to entrap. Haplern was paid over $500K for working for the U.S. Government (Obama Administration) during that period.

4. Why is a high level Australian Official (High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Alexander Downer) instigating a meeting with low level nobody George Papadopolous in the first place? Downer has relationships with the Clintons, Clapper, and Steven Halper. (Heavy drinking and a claim that Papadopolous bragged about Russian contacts, which Papadopolous claims is a lie.)

5. Who used Obama U.N. Ambassador's Samantha Power's user to unmask tons of Trump team members?

6. What is happening regarding the FISA Warrants being obtained with applications that contained unverified information? (The standard is all information in the warrant must be verified.)

7. Why was the Clinton Foundations Chief Counsel (Jeannie Rhee) part of the Mueller team?

8. Why were there heavy handed raids against Manafort, Cohen, and Stone, when the same never happened during the investigation concerning the Clinton's?

9. Mueller appears to have known that there was no Trump Russia Collusion over a year ago. Why did he keep pushing the investigation? Why did he want to talk to Trump personally when he knew there was no collusion?

 

[Fawlty]

Ok, go on and tell us how Steele’s dossier is now credible.

Because he collected and presented raw, unverified intelligence. On this matter, the same intelligence found its way to Donald Trump himself, the person allegedly liable from the compromising material, through the Russian and through Cohen. Steele picked up on this, and reported it as he should have. His work was not a hoax and not invented, and not bullshit. People have been attacking it as a fake intel operation for years, but they were wrong.

So someone saying a fake tape possibly existed means Steele claiming to have sources who witnessed a real golden shower in his dossier is credible.

Yes, that means Steele's work is credible. That "kompromat" was out there, and he picked up on it and reported it. It was not a fabrication by British/US intelligence or a hoax by Democrats, or any of that shit. It was unverified intel that just so happens to have also reached Trump. To non-hacks, this means Steele did his job and we should be thankful for it.

Well, sure, he gathered up a bunch of bullshit and presented his collection of bullshit as he was paid for. If you feel that somehow bestows credibility to the bullshit itself, I guess we’ll just agree to disagree.

Definitely not a strawman.

Facts:

• Steele testified under oath in front of the British Government that he could not verify the claims in the dossier.
• Steele was a devout anti-Trumpist.
• Steele was paid for with Hillary Clinton $.
• Steele was also paid by the Obama Administration.
  
• Steele colluded with Russia agents.
• Steele lied to the FBI and leaked the Dossier to Yahoo News.

Do you still think Steele should be thanked?

"Collection of bullshit" that was potentially being used to blackmail a presidential candidate? And that actually got to the president through his lawyer? Yes, we should be thankful that intelligence operatives are out there sniffing around those things. Fuck's sake, lol.

That’s definitely one way to view it. An odd way but a way nonetheless.
