Russia Collusion Scandal (aka A Leftist fantasy)

[cajunrevenge]

So you think opening an investigation on false pretenses is a crime? Or only when people you dont like do it?

[Metaphysicist]

Because his prior contacts which caused concern from the fbi, as per their token FISA statement, resulted from work done for the CIA.

It's very clear what happened here. FBI used a false pretext to get communications while Page was on the Trump campaign. You know that. I know that and most importantly Barr/Durham know that.

Ah, okay; so your theory is that Page actually only had any Russian contacts because he was working for the CIA.

That seems very unlikely to me (though I guess possible); I noticed you didn't actually answer the question about the evidence of this, but just asserted it "is a known fact."

[thethe]

Amusing that anyone can think the IG report did anything but validate the 'conspiracy theories'.

Now with word of the former president of Ukraines offices being raided and crimes to be revealed we are going to see yet another layer of the prior administrations corruption.

Lots of money just went unaccounted for in the Ukraine.

Evidence of it is a known fact. It is factual that Page was used as a CIA asset. It is factual agencies share information pist 9/11.

What you are effectively proposing is a scenario whereby the intelligence agencies can spy on US citizens as a result of using them for intelligence operations. In what world does that make sense?

[cajunrevenge]

The Horowitz report was perfect despite being an illegal witch hunt affording no due process. Totally 100% exonerated the FBI. Maybe thethe can direct me to the part of Horowitz's big beautiful report where it says anyone comitted a crime. Unlike IMPOTUS none of these people have immunity from prosecution.

and now we are learning why the OG AG and IMPOTUS didnt want us to see in the Mueller report. Trump asked Cohen to set up a meeting with Putin in 2016....

No I'm proposing that a person can have their own personal interests in a country, unrelated to US intelligence, and that might be a reason an intelligence agency to try and get information from them at some point.

What's a top Russian Banker doing taking a private jet from Moscow to 1 hour away from Maralago?

Not possible. It's obviously a conspiracy.

[thethe]

Not possible. It's obviously a conspiracy.

Let's give these dirty agents the benefit of the doubt after all we know.

I'd say I cant wait till Durhams report is out for you guys to admit you were wrong but if you haven't done it already it won't ever happen.

[nsacpi]

I hear Durham has Mifsud's blackberry.

[thethe]

I hear Durham has Mifsud's blackberry.

So he already has more than the Germans?

[thethe]

Well well well

[Metaphysicist]

You've been posting highlight report photos from this lady for weeks now. How slow does she read?

Also, wow, "an intelligence agency" correctly discovered "the suggestion" that Putin was trying to influence the election, something literally no one sane contests. True scandal. What amazing "secrets" we are uncovering. How could we have known?

GCHQ first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.
...
Instead both US and UK intelligence sources acknowledge that GCHQ played an early, prominent role in kickstarting the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation, which began in late July 2016.
...
According to one account, GCHQ’s then head, Robert Hannigan, passed material in summer 2016 to the CIA chief, John Brennan.

Looks like we've cracked the case boys; they thought they could hide these salacious details in these publicly available newspaper articles, but we are too crafty for that.

[goldfly]

my favorite thing is how for pages in this thread and for 3 years we have been told intelligence community can't be trusted and is part of the deep state and full of liars etc

they are now saying the total opposite and that they had intel on Suleimani and must be trusted

[cajunrevenge]

Kind of like how they cite the same news sources they claim are fake news and biased against Trump. Why does no one in the media call out this BS.

I'll bet $5 that Durham's report is already finished and that Trump is waiting to use it at an opportune time in the headlines (when senate impeachment ramps up, etc) as a distraction.

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday recommended that former national security adviser Michael T. Flynn serve up to six months in prison, reversing their earlier recommendation of probation because of his drawn out attacks against the FBI and Justice Department.

The dramatic revocation of the Justice Department’s request for leniency came weeks after Flynn’s sentencing judge on Dec. 16 categorically rejected Flynn’s claims of prosecutorial misconduct and that he had been duped into pleading guilty to lying to FBI agents about his Russian contacts after the 2016 U.S. election.

“It is within the government’s sole discretion to determine whether the defendant has ‘substantially assisted’ the government,” prosecutor Brandon Van Grack wrote in a 33-page court filing. “In light of the complete record, including actions subsequent to December 18, 2018, that negate the benefits of much of the defendant’s earlier cooperation, the government no longer deems the defendant’s assistance ‘substantial.’”

Flynn faces sentencing Jan. 28 before U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in Washington, D.C. Flynn defense attorney Sidney Powell is scheduled to file his sentencing request on Jan. 22.

Poor Misha. It was dumb of him to replace the competent lawyers he had with conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell.

I love it when people who unconditionally support law enforcement get ****ed by the heavy hand of the law. Surely little thethe will be around to address this.

My guess is they hold it off till after the election so Trump can keep claiming the Durham report will be explosive. Durham kind of tipped his hand by responding to the Horowitz report that he is a Trump cultist so unless criminal charges come from his report I am already ready to dismiss it.
