It's Time To Ask Democrats If They Will Refund The Federal Government For The Millions Of Dollars Wasted On The False Russian Collusion Narrative!

obamahillaryputin600x302.jpg

The Steele Dossier and the Comey firing were the main reasons why a special counsel was appointed to investigate Russian Collusion with the Trump campaign. We now know that the Dossier was funded by the DNC and the Clinton campaign to take down Donald Trump. We also now know that James Comey used this Dossier to acquire FISA warrants during the election to spy on the Trump campaign and that James Comey leaked information. All clear reasons to fire James Comey.

The DNC was in a position to save the tax payer Millions and of course they continued to promote this false narrative. They knew the Dossier was garbage.

Will they refund the people for this National disaster? It's time to hold them accountable for their reckless behavior and dishonesty.

We owe the Dems a debt of gratitude for keeping this investigation alive after the original Repub funders decided to let it drop (after all, since it wouldn't help them politically after Dump was nominated why should they be bothered by Russians hacking our democratic processes--that wasn't their problem).  This document (none of which has yet been discredited--if anything, quite the opposite) has turned out to be a motherlode of evidence to guide the Mueller investigation.

either he will recuse himself or distance himself from the lies of the left.  either way, no trump russia collusion will be found.

I am also willing to bet that unlike trump, hillary cannot survive 2yrs of "real" investigations  :)

What evidence would that be? I thought nothing had been released. Or are you making stuff up?

Or is it just wishful thinking, hoping, and praying for a scandal. Anything of credibility would have been leaked long ago.

There is more information out there should you care to delve.  The Mueller investigation has a long way to go, they are now following the money, by the way, so those tendrils can be messy.  But the rest of us are just speculating the way we do about it.  My personal record for ferreting out bullshit investigations is damn good, and republicans hold the record for the longest, most expensive, biggest waste of their time for political bullshit (Benghazi, in case you didn't know).   But Russia is being investigated by some real patriots who will work for country over politics, and the country will see where it all leads.  Money, money, money makes the world go round, and we know who the greediest are.  They can't resist.  Wait for it.

So glad you asked:

According to Paul Wood of BBC News , the information in Steele's report is also reported by "multiple intelligence sources" and "at least one East European intelligence service". They report that there is "more than one tape, not just video, but audio as well, on more than one date, in more than one place, in both Moscow and St. Petersburg". [51] [39] He added that "the CIA believes it is credible that the Kremlin has such kompromat —or compromising material— on the next US commander in chief" and "a joint taskforce, which includes the CIA and the FBI, has been investigating allegations that the Russians may have sent money to Mr Trump's organisation or his election campaign". [52] [53] [51] On March 30, 2017, Wood revealed that the FBI was using the dossier as a roadmap for its investigation. [54] On April 18, 2017, CNN reported that corroborated information from the dossier had been used as part of the basis for getting the FISA warrant to monitor former Trump foreign policy advisor Carter Page during the summer of 2016. [55]

Former Los Angeles Times Moscow correspondent Robert Gillette wrote in an op-ed in the Concord Monitor that the dossier has had at least one of its main factual assertions verified. On January 6, 2017, the Director of National Intelligence released a report assessing "with high confidence" that Russia's combined cyber and propaganda operation was directed personally by Vladimir Putin , with the aim of harming Hillary Clinton's candidacy and helping Trump. [56] Gillette wrote: "Steele's dossier, paraphrasing multiple sources, reported precisely the same conclusion, in greater detail, six months earlier, in a memo dated June 20." [57]

The Wall Street Journal has an excellent article about how comprised the FBI and Mueller are at this point:

 

The purchase and consolidation of certain assets were facilitated by Canadian entrepreneurs who gave large sums to the Clinton Foundation, and

perhaps arranged a Bill Clinton speech in Moscow for $500,000. A key transaction had to be approved by Hillary Clinton’s State Department.

Now we learn that, before and during these transactions, the FBI had uncovered a bribery and kickback scheme involving Russia’s U.S. nuclear business,

and also received reports of Russian officials seeking to curry favor through donations to the Clinton Foundation.

This criminal activity was apparently not disclosed to agencies vetting the 2010 transfer of U.S. commercial nuclear assets to Russia. The FBI made no

move to break up the scheme until long after the transaction closed. Only five years later, the Justice Department, in 2015, disclosed a plea deal with

the Russian perpetrator so quietly that its significance was missed until The Hill reported on the FBI investigation last week.

                               For anyone who cares to look, the real problem here is that the FBI itself is so thoroughly implicated in the Russia meddling story.

The agency, when Mr. Mueller headed it, soft-pedaled an investigation highly embarrassing to Mrs. Clinton as well as the Obama Russia reset policy.

More recently, if just one of two things is true—Russia sponsored the Trump Dossier, or Russian fake intelligence prompted Mr. Comey’s email

intervention—then Russian operations, via their impact on the FBI, influenced and continue to influence our politics in a way far more consequential

than any Facebook ad,the preoccupation of John McCain, who apparently cannot behold a mountain if there’s a molehill anywhere nearby.

Which means that Mr. Mueller has the means, motive and opportunity to obfuscate and distract from matters embarrassing to the FBI, while pleasing a

large part of the political spectrum. He need only confine his focus to the flimsy, disingenuous but popular (with the media) accusation that the

shambolic Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin.

                                    Mr. Mueller’s tenure may not have bridged the two investigations, but James Comey’s, Rod Rosenstein’s , Andrew Weissmann’s ,

and Andrew McCabe’s did. Mr. Rosenstein appointed Mr. Mueller as special counsel. Mr. Weissmann now serves on Mr. Mueller’s team. Mr.

McCabe remains deputy FBI director. All were involved in the nuclear racketeering matter and the Russia meddling matter.

                              Let’s stop here. All this needs to be sorted out, but not in a spirit of panic and hysteria. We are a prosperous, successful

country, in pretty good shape right now by historical standards, even if our officials behave in the frequently dubious, self-interested way

they always have.  But still: By any normal evidentiary, probative or journalistic measure, the big story here is the FBI—its politicized

handling of Russian matters, and not competently so.

If I didn't know better I'd think you were trying to make our FBI more of an adversary than Russia.  I'm getting a little concerned that treason might have seeped into the bowels of the republican party, who seem really comfortable parroting the Russian propaganda line.  Against our very own Americans.  Wow, and I remember what they said about the Dixie Chicks.  How do you reconcile that?  Party over country?  The ends justify the means?

Wow, you just managed to equate questioning the work of the FBI with treason. 

Do you favor unquestioning fealty to the CIA as well? 

Last time I looked, holding government accountable was a core belief of the American ideal. I'm not sure when it became anti-American to ask the government to explain itself, but here we are.

Well, it's about throwing as much stuff as possible against the wall and hoping it sticks.  Supposition played off as evidence and fact, must do anything to protect the Democrats, even if they are acting in a criminal manner so the Republicans can't win the argument.  It's sad really and yes, the government should be accountable to the people and it is not wrong to want that.

It was false to label this WSJ editorial as an "article."  Try using something with facts instead of rightwing propaganda sometime.

Here's another bombshell waiting to blow on the killings in Niger:

This stands out:

But the move came a month after the vast central African country complained about an unexpected U.S. travel ban imposed on its nationals. Chad warned at the time the order could affect its security commitments - which include its involvement in the U.S.-backed fight against Boko Haram.
