Comments by "Triple 9" (@Betta66) on "The FBI Appears to have Lied About the Steele Dossier" video.

Zachary Clark The FISA warrants were originally granted in 2013 and 2014, years before the dossier was commissioned by Republicans. This conspiracy has been so thoroughly debunked, you would have to be brain dead to buy it.

@dwaynecoy1871 1. You seem weirdly trusting of the Washington Post all of a sudden. I thought they fell under the umbrella of "fake news." Or is that when they're not kissing Trump's ass like you do? 2. That this investigation was centered around collusion is Trump's lie to make it so he could claim to be exonerated when Mueller couldn't find evidence of the thing he wasn't looking for anyway. Collusion has no specific legal meaning in criminal law. The Mueller report itself even explained that. So if believing a dishonest narrative about collusion makes one stupid and ignorant, what does that say about you? 3. As long as we're citing the Washington Post, in April of 2016, Marc Elias, general counsel for the Clinton campaign, took over funding of the Fusion GPS Trump investigation. He used discretionary funds at his disposal and didn't inform the campaign about the research. So if Trump isn't guilty of conspiracy because his campaign staff were doing things without his knowledge, why is Hillary guilty? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-lawyer-kept-russian-dossier-project-closely-held/2017/10/27/e7935276-ba68-11e7-be94-fabb0f1e9ffb_story.html 4. In July 2016, Carter Page traveled to Russia ostensibly to deliver a speech at Moscow’s New Economic School. While in Moscow, Page met with Igor Sechin—a Vladimir Putin ally and the executive chairman of Russia’s state oil company, Rosneft—to discuss lifting U.S. sanctions in exchange for the brokerage of a 19 percent stake in the oil giant. He also met with members of Russia’s presidential administration while in Moscow, as well as with Andrey Baranov, the head of investor relations at Rosneft. Page also said in testimony that he “may have” greeted Joseph Mifsud, who told George Papadopoulos, about the Kremlin’s dossier of incriminating Hillary Clinton emails. And according to the Justice Department, Page met with, emailed with, and “provided documents to” Victor Podobnyy, a spy who was posing as a diplomat in New York City while acting as an agent of Russia’s foreign-intelligence agency. Page gave Podobnyy information “about the energy business” from January to June of 2013, according to the DOJ’s criminal complaint, and Podobnyy appeared to acknowledge in intercepted conversations that he was using Page as a “useful idiot” for intelligence-gathering purposes. So if Carter Page was helping the FBI, I assume it happened before the FISA applications that read “the FBI believes that the Russian government’s efforts are being coordinated with Page and perhaps other individuals associated with” Trump’s campaign, and that Page “has established relationships with Russian government officials, including Russian intelligence officers."

@spiritoftruthcoaching1720 They weren't. They had FISA warrants on Carter Page and Paul Manafort before they joined the Trump campaign. How are you this shitty at facts?

@Ay3 First of all, it's "Last Week Tonight." At least get the title right if you're going to act intellectually superior. Secondly, did I say the Steele dossier came from Republicans? No, I did not, because that's not even close to what anyone thinks happened. What I said that a conservative site hired Fusion GPS "to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary," even though the site's editor and chairman both said they had no knowledge of or involvement with the Steele dossier. How are you this shitty at facts?

@larryeisenberg1895 Why should I give you evidence you're just going to ignore anyway?

Dj Hergert 1. https://www.justsecurity.org/59837/reports-carter-page-subject-fisa-warrant-2013-2014/ You're a moron. 2. Did I at any point say Republicans commissioned the dossier? No, I did not, because no one thinks that's what happened. I said that a conservative site hired Fusion GPS "to provide research on multiple candidates in the Republican presidential primary," even though the site's editor and chairman both said they had no knowledge of or involvement with the Steele dossier. Again, you're a moron.

@larryeisenberg1895 Anyone who unironically uses the term "hater" is automatically disqualified from being taken seriously. Critics have presented more than plenty of reasons not to trust Trump, but Trump-loving conspiracy theorists like you will never buy any of it. How many blatant lies does Trump have to tell before the dormant brain cells in your head start working properly?

@larryeisenberg1895 You seriously couldn't pick up on the idea that it was a rule I personally hold? Whatever, that's not the point. I hesitate to provide your requested evidence not because I don't have any, but because in my experience, Trump-loving conspiracy theorists like you will ignore it, search for holes that can be easily explained with two seconds of research, and/or dismiss it entirely as fake news because the author doesn't kiss Trump's ass like you do. For example, I was asked to provide video of Trump encouraging violence. I did, only for it to not count because it was all from before Trump was elected. So piss off.
1
@larryeisenberg1895 I was asked not too long ago to provide video evidence of Trump encouraging violence. I did, but the person who demanded that video decided that it didn't count because everything Trump said in the video was from before he was elected. So that's why I'm not providing evidence - you'll either ignore it or dismiss it for some stupid reason because you're only good for making excuses. Thank you for continuing to prove my unwillingness is well-founded.

@larryeisenberg1895 Once again, thank you for proving that my unwillingness is well-founded. I gave you a valid reason for why I hesitate to show you evidence and you just dismiss it. If I said I don't walk past a certain neighbor's house because their dog bit me numerous times, would you say it was a typical liberal excuse? I have evidence, but I have no reason to show it to you when I guarantee you will continue to show zero indication of capacity for serious discourse. You'll just go through the same routine as every other gullible Trump follower: demand evidence, dismiss it for some arbitrary reason that can be easily countered with six seconds of research, then immediately resort to mudslinging. Prove that you'll take this seriously or you're no better than any of Trump's other goons.

@larryeisenberg1895 Wow, that is almost impressively wrong. Here's what happened. Coho: "Trump is/did X." Larry: "Evidence?" Coho: "Everytime a Styx subscriber asks me for evidence, they ignore it or dismiss it for some arbitrary reason. They always prioritize mudslinging over doing any credible research. Because I have no reason to believe you wouldn't do the same, I will not provide evidence." Larry: Proceeds to do the same Thank you once again for continuing to prove me right and that my intuition is completely justified.
1
@larryeisenberg1895 You're one to talk, considering that "no evidence" describes your last four comments perfectly and "hater" is the most cut-paste, creatively dry insult imaginable. Once again, you prove my intuition right that you are an unfunny, unintelligent failure whose best strategy boils down to "I know you are, but what am I?" You fail to prove that you're any different from every other coprophagic Trump goon and you will never be anything more.

Oh, so biased reporting is only okay when your side does it? John Solomon is so far up Trump’s ass, he fights Hannity for space.

madmojo 1999 I’m a little annoyed that almost every article I source gets picked apart down to, in many cases, the author being biased against Trump. How is the reverse acceptable if the demand is for unbiased reporting?

madmojo 1999 I know, but unfortunately very few people got that memo from what I’ve seen
