It's going to be investigated by people Trump assigns to the investigation. Hope you enjoy that as much as I will. I cannot wait. How about you?

Old fake news from the Trumplicans, brought back recently with a new spin.

You can read the footnotes yourself in the FISA app on pages 15 and 16, lawyers read footnotes.

Haven't you 2 answered the same question a few times already? Why don't you just put them in an external doc. that you can just cut and paste instead of typing them each time?

Then Barr's investigation can't turn up anything, so you have nothing to worry about.

I'm not worried but I think you are are missing something as you keep bringing up the steele dosier w/o reading how the FISA application was filed and what the app. said about the dosier.

I read the footnotes on p. 15 and p.16. Even though I'm not a lawyer, I didn't see anywhere in there, that the FBI revealed that the dossier was paid for by the Clinton campaign. Could you point that part out to me, please?

Why do you think that is important, the sentence reads that the FBI speculates that the identified US person was likely looking for information that could be used to discredit Candidate #1's campaign. Do you think it would have been somehow different if it was Ted Cruz or his wife?

You seem to think it is good when Candidate #1 calls out for help in public from Russia, accepts and appreciates that help, but exhibit concern when others look at his relationship with Russia.
Just what did he really talk about in his last telecon with Putin? Didn't have time in an hour and a half to tell him not to interfere in US elections? Or didn't have the balls?

As usual
Trump=good, but I don't really like him that much
Anyone who questions Trump=bad

If you read (and believe) the Russian notes from the call it sounds like Putin was giving Trump his marching orders for the next 12 months.

And why would Trump warn Putin off. Trump encourages Russian interference.

They clearly lay out that the material could be political in nature and intended to hurt Candidate #1's campaign. They're not going to name the Clinton campaign by name, it's not how the application process works.

This is after dozens of redacted pages that outline secret information to justify the warrant.

Candidate #1 is Trump.

I thought about just letting you go on and on and let you spin why Candidate 1 was the victim....would have been interesting to say the least

I didn’t say candidate #1 was clinton. Two separate statements.

So you're saying that the material was intended to hurt Trump's campaign?

Opposition research usually is. What’s the problem?
