Deranged Rhino

RR still conflating the FISA information (which was from Steele) and the Steele dossier.

Grassley up now. Unleash the hounds!

Graham gets RR to agree there "was no there there" in August of 2017 when he signed the FISA. Now ChiFi up. Chi-Fi pronounces Dossier odd.

Now the big question about the scope memo... RR: The scope memo came from the Mueller team (ie: Strzok/Page/McCabe) That's BIG.

Comey and McCabe thrown under the bus so far... (They signed it, I took their word for it -- that's paraphrased but it's the defense he's using) Okay, RR... don't make me fall back into the whole white hat v black hat debate. "If you knew then what you knew now, would you have signed the warrant?" RR: "No, I would not." DAMN! Graham asks RR directly if McCabe ever lied to him -- RR says no. Graham tries to equivocate, gets RR to admit: "Mr. McCabe was not candid with me, was not forthcoming."

RR's statement now... RR making the case he appointed the SCO to take control away from McCabe (which is the one positive he did).

ChiFi hasn't updated her talking points since 2018... Real bad look for her. "Congress should not conduct political investigations that help one candidate over the other" (I can't laugh loud enough)

Here comes ChiFi -- She starts with "history"... and immediately brings up Biden Talking about how Horowitz didn't find any evidence of bias (which is a distortion of what Horowitz testified to).

That's not cult like.

How deep into her opening statement will ChiFi wander off course and talk about the protests/riots and how this is all a distraction? Two sentences? Graham: "We did a lot together when it comes to Russian interference"... More true than he meant it.

Graham starting with a clip of RR's own words about FISA and how stringent the FISA applications were Here's the clip:

Hearing ready to start... RR's opening statement lays all the blame on the FBI (hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... bureaucratic ass covering? Or reveal that he was a plant?)

10 am tomorrow is the hearing with RR. Should be very interesting.

Neither did Trump, but when have you ever let truth be your guide?

Trump signed actual Criminal Justice reform into law, and got it done by himself. He funded historically black colleges. He also led an economy that saw the lowest unemployment numbers for the black community in history. Biden voted for the Crime Bill -- which decimated the black community and led to much of the outrage they're literally protesting about tonight. Biden worked with segregationists in his long career in Congress, a career wherein he accomplished exactly zero for the black community other than incentivizing mass incarceration for profit. Otherwise, you're spot on.

Unlike Biden, Trump has an actual success record of helping the black community. But sure.

They're not equals by any stretch. But thanks for proving again how deeply stupid you are by missing the bigger point. Again, if you closed your mouth you'd suffocate. That's how blisteringly stupid of a person you are. It's amazing you can operate a keyboard.

It's not the right thread for a lengthy discussion -- but I'd suggest that you're failing to see the bigger picture of what happened. You're focused on "they not being able to prove it" while omitting that the "they" was the outgoing president and the heads of the CIA, DOJ, FBI, and every major media corporation on the planet. And, you're omitting/not realizing that what "they" did was fabricate a piece of fiction to cover up for their own sins. Not only was it the first time in our country's history an outgoing president undermined the peaceful transition of power -- he did so in order to hide even larger crimes committed by his own lieutenants. If "real issues" matter to you, then you owe it to yourself to re-examine the entire saga with fresh eyes and all the primary source material now available in OS. There's never been a bigger scandal in this country's history. The fallout has not even begun.

Well, you're kind of right. The Russia "thing" was similar to the Obama "birth certificate thing" in that they both were smears started by the Clinton machine. But that's where their similarities stop. The Russia "thing" wasn't just a campaign smear, it was an intentional disinformation campaign waged by an outgoing administration and its intelligence services against the American people. It was not only a palace coup attempt, it was a subversion of our democratic republic. If that's not a "real issue" for you to focus on, then I'd suggest you have your head so far in the sand you're hearing Chinese. As for the bolded, if you have to ask who else is there to trust besides a thoroughly disgraced and dishonest media complex -- then you really need to do a lot of work just to get in the game, let alone be able to understand it.
