B-Man Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 1) In no universe should it be OK for a journalistic outfit to publish a document containing explosive allegations that it doesn’t believe are credible — this is just outrageous; 2) Until we have some confirmation of verifiable details — and no media entity has produced any yet, despite trying to chase them down — we should consider the most damaging information in the dossier to be garbage based on hearsay and rumor.Rich Lowrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 So many in this thread. The jokes just write themselves. The story's bull ****, of course - there's verifiably false information in it (as in "You can check passports, and people weren't where the story claims they were" verifiable.) But the jokes are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Lowrey They can publish the fact that the security agencies briefed Trump-o on the allegations. Which they did. And why did Trump take such a pro-Russian stance, very suspicious. Smoke....fire?

PastaJoe Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Which he'd already done when he went to Congress. That's truly disingenuous: "We don't comment on what we're under subpoena to comment on and have already commented on." Really, the fault lies with the House Judicial Committee members who decided that leaking Comey's letter was appropriate. But you've got your head just a little too far up Hillary's ass to understand that, don't you? Investigating Weiner's emails and making assumptions that they were related to Clinton before they were actually looked at (and subsequently determined to be irrelevant) was not part of the original investigation. But again, Comey was not obligated to mention them until after they were looked at and conclusions were made. But at least you're now conceding that the House Republicans were behind leaking the unnecessary Comey letter that helped sway voter opinions. Comey should have expected such a letter without explaination would be used by the Republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not "now conceding" anything. That implies that I at one time said they didn't leak it, when they clearly did. That's not "now conceding," that's a statement of obvious fact months old.

Stop projecting your hyperpartisan stupidity on others. He reopened a previously closed investigation, and sent a cryptic letter without details that was ripe for misrepresentation by Clinton's opponents. “In connection with an unrelated case, the FBI has learned of the existence of emails that appear to be pertinent to the investigation.” This written without even knowing the contents of said emails. “Given that we don’t know the significance of this newly discovered collection of emails, I don’t want to create a misleading impression." Too late, Comey did it by simply sending the letter. And it then allowed Trump to exploit a false narrative. “Now the evidence is so overwhelming ― because they wouldn’t have done this unless the evidence was overwhelming."
