The Witch Hunt Revealed

[Kidlicious]

Oh you just accused them of terrorism. My bad!

[rah]

This is coming from the person who says that pro-life is a war on women

Please feel free to quote a post where I said that.
I did say that I consider men that accost women at abortion centers akin to terrorism but that is nowhere near what you just accused me of.

terrorism
noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.


So put up or shut up.

It is btw. interesting that Kid calls Jrabbit Babykiller, but Roy Moore, who actually took part in Vietnam, a war hero,
who alone for his participation in the war should get so much respect, that people should stop accusing him of molesting minors

More conspiracy theories

[Kidlicious]

No, I don't consider that "a figure of speech"
Who does besides you?
I'm sure you can't provide a reliable source that accepts that as common usage as anything but a crass insult to Viet Nam Vets.

Atop acting like a babykilldr

[-Jrabbit]

No. A figure of speech is a word or phrase with an accepted, different meaning from its literal definition. A good current example would be "snowflake." There is no accepted alternate meaning of "babykiller." It is name-calling. I would like an apology.

It's a figure of speech. I didn't expect you to get it.

Yes, why respond with reasonable discourse when you can just call the person a babykiller.

And as ALWAYS you have no proof of that ridiculous accusation.

But then proof has never been necessary in the Kidverse. Sheeple.

[Kidlicious]

Whatever babykiller.

[-Jrabbit]

This is fake analysis. I know it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy without having to think, but this is just another righty website trying to discredit the Mueller investigation without presenting any actual documentation for its claims.
Pro tip: "Unverified" does not mean "untrue."

We also know Christopher Steele, a former British spy, gathered information for the dossier from a hodgepodge of rumors from Russian sources that, according to Simpson’s own testimony, were never substantiated by the firm. Steele called the collection of rumors “raw” and “unverified.”

Simpson told Congress, in his prevaricating and often defensive testimony, that Steele allegedly went to the FBI because he believed the Kremlin had the goods on Trump. The Russians, he claimed, were blackmailing the candidate with evidence of sordid sexual escapades. More significant, the Trump team had colluded with the Russians in hacking emails of Democrats during the campaign and were working on a quid pro quo basis. It was like calling 911 when witnessing a potential crime, Steele noted.

Well, almost immediately, one of the most repeated and significant claims backing this testimony had to be walked back.

Simpson told Congress “an internal campaign source,” a “whistle-blower” within the Trump organization, had corroborated some of the information in the dossier for the FBI. This was a bombshell (if true) because it meant that there was a legitimate source substantiating those assertions. So even the dossier’s most shocking tales could be treated seriously by the FBI and used as a pretext to investigate Trump’s organization in the middle of a political campaign.

Soon after the transcript was released, however, NBC News’ Ken Dilanian, who has a close relationship with Fusion, reported that sources in the firm were correcting Steele, who’d mischaracterized a meeting with a Trump source. No, there was no “walk-in” from the Trump campaign, as Steele had maintained in his testimony.

This is hardly surprising. Those who bought, compiled and spread the Trump dossier’s rumors have been walking back its claims for a while. And that’s likely one of the reasons Democrats have been scrambling to retroactively diminish its importance in any investigation.

In fact, Simpson’s description of Steele’s reasons for approaching the FBI aren’t even true. In the dossier, Steele alleges to be offering extensive evidence of a “conspiracy between Trump’s campaign team and the Kremlin.” In his deposition in a libel case late last year, however, the former spy says it was merely “possible” that collusion had taken place and the dossier reflects “limited intelligence.”

We see a similar downgrading of the dossier’s significance and veracity in Simpson’s own testimony. “The question that is asked generally is whether it’s credible,” he explained. “You don’t really decide who’s telling the truth.”

Well, now that Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal attorney, is filing a pair of lawsuits — one in federal court against Fusion GPS and the other in New York against BuzzFeed — the truth may take on some renewed importance. Add to that the fact that Chuck Grassley and Lindsey Graham asked the Department of Justice to open a criminal investigation into Steele’s inconsistencies, and surely we can look forward to more clarifications and walkbacks in the future.

This is likely what prompted Feinstein to release the transcripts — which, incidentally, excluded not only a number of important contextual exhibits from Simpson’s testimony but also redacted all sorts of relevant information about the players in the case.

It doesn’t matter. At some point, we’re going to learn the whole story. And if it turns out that the political party in power used a dossier filled with raw, unsubstantiated information to spy on its opponents, it’ll be a massive scandal.

B'S. It's damn ning for Fusion GPS and the FBI as well as MSM. I have no time for this BS.

[-Jrabbit]

So you have no idea and are just repeating the talking points from your echo chamber. Again.

FYI, most of the Steele dossier's contents have been verified. It's a lot more damning vs the Russians than it is vs Trump, but it's also clear that Team Trump welcomed Putin's assistance.
