Isn’t there a rule about deliberately misquoting?
He needs to be ousted and face charges TOO.
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”
You have indeed made mocking you easy-thank you.
He’s a fucking liar. That’s all I need to know.
Yes, there is. Which of the referenced statements is purported to be a quote? Hint: quotes are normally indicated by the use of quotation marks.
TRANSLATION for the hard of thinking:
There was sufficient justification to pursue a FISA warrant due to Steele’s reporting. However, once fully investigated, the information was assessed to be of limited value.
Who woke this idiot up?
Steele’s reporting wasn’t factual from the beginning.
From page 186-197 of the IG Report
What do you people have against people that want to Make America Great Again?
Well, for one, they lie, like all the time. Considering your bold stance against liars, shouldn’t you also be against those people?
So Schiff’s statement that the report was of limited value was correct? How does this support your premise?
Now you’ve done it, Straight Dopers. You’ve hurt the MAGAsucker’s feelings. He’s all triggered and butt-hurt.
For shame.
When was it originally “Great” in your opinion?
For another, their definition of “great” doesn’t line up with mine.
My, you’re a delicate flower.
Please, please, please don’t make me defend a brainless, partisan hack like Easy Phil, but, to my eye, Schiff’s memo certainly understated the reliance of the FBI on the Steele dossier (“narrow use”). The IG report is clear the dossier did not start the investigation, but it did conclude that it played a larger part in the obtaining of the FISA warrant.
However, EasyPhil clearly ignores the corroboration and myriad of other information that also went into the obtaining of the FISA warrant, instead focusing only on the Steele dossier and ignoring everything else. He does that because he’s a dishonest idiot.
I wouldn’t call what Schiff’s memo said a “lie”, but it was clearly spin that made a better case than actually existed.
Which, by the by, shouldn’t make any difference whatsoever in anything that’s occurred in the last 2 years. This “Schiff lied” and “FISA abused” crap is just the latest distraction from the right to try and avoid the reality that Trump committed impeachable offenses. Which is why EasyPhil won’t reply to the oft-asked question: “So what?” Because he’s an idiot. And a partisan hack. And simple minded.
Which is why it was concluded to be, “…of narrow use…”.
Is it your contention that interest in Carter Page, a known person of interest to US Intelligence agencies, was solely based on the Steele report?
Yeah but you’re in the Pit now so people are letting you slide on that part.
But. . .but. . .Melania fixed the boolying, didn’t she? “Be Best” and all, y’see. Sometimes I honestly feel bad for that poor, deluded, trapped creature.
Mostly that MAGA is not a plan, it’s a meaningless cult mantra for the gullible rubes.
Well, Sleazy Shill, the people don’t want to make America great for everybody, just for white Christian heterosexuals. Not so much for real Christians, mind you, just the phony sort who savor the suffering of women having their babies jerked from their arms and tossed into cages. The sort that think that having children massacred in schools is a price worth paying to indulge in their masturbatory gun fantasies, the kind who think a bit of parasitic flesh the size of a fingernail is a human being with rights but cheer when a cop shoots a child dead while playing with a toy gun within seconds of pulling his car up to the scene. You don’t want to make America great, you want to make America hate, and you love this corrupt moron because he hates the same people you do.
