Deranged Rhino Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just now, garybusey said: So Steele's work is not baseless hearsay when you see the possibility of #SethRich involvement? #deepstate No, once again you miss the point in a rush to ridicule a position you don't understand or have put no time into understanding. One of the early spin attempts on Rich's murder was that he was working for the Russians to help them steal the emails, and he was killed by Russians for his role in the theft of intellectual property. It's something that the investigator (former DNC pundit) Burkman pushed in earnest in January. Then it faded away. Now here it is again, buried deep in a partisan puff piece. The question is why bring this back up now? The answer is the Buzzfeed lawsuit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I said it's baseless in terms of meeting the legal standards of acceptable evidence for the FISC because it's hearsay. This, again, is undeniable. It's enough to toss the entire dossier if you're the FISC. But they didn't.... they took it as evidence. Why? Because the FBI and DOJ LIED TO THE COURT. You can try to spin all you want, but that's the ballgame, Gary. You've been had. You allowed yourself to be made a fool of because you outsourced your own independent thinking.

Had thought the point of the piece (besides telling the world how apolitical Steele is while highlighting his potical instincts :wacko:) was to hit people over the head with the FACT that 44 & Biden (& even Hillary roundaboutly) knew ABSOLUTELY nothing about the dossier until January '17. Sure they didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something doesn't add up They are fighting for their life. They are being sued by the Russian they named as the source of the hack - and the only way they can prove their first amendment case is to have the evidence of the hack from the DNC servers since the DNC was the Buzzfeed source for the story. The DNC has prevented the FBI from analyzing the server, instead they did it with CrowdStrike - who was hired, as I've shown, to help engineer the illusion of a hack rather than to be honest brokers of truth. Buzzfeed is doing this because they have no choice. And it's going to sink the DNC in the process. Because they'll have to turn over the servers - which I'm sure have been wiped if not destroyed by now. Just now, garybusey said: The irony here is fantastic. It only is if you're too dim to understand the definition of irony. Schiff does not disprove the McCabe testimony at all. His document makes this clear. But you've made it clear that you don't read primary sources, so I linked an article that spells it out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still reading it with my jaw on the floor. They RUSHED this piece out without even bothering to edit it. Read this: "I can confirm that I attended one of them" - that reads to me (someone who writes a lot and interviews people a lot) like notes from Steele himself. Here's how it works. The reporter writes the piece, sends it to Steele to confirm bits - he includes his notes in the draft - and then the writer takes those out and hands it in to the editor. Yet here, the writer clearly forgot to take these notes out. So did the editor. That doesn't happen unless there is a fire under their butts to get this piece out before something else hits. Wonder what that will be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deranged Rhino Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 (edited) *********** Considering the sloppy nature of the New Yorker article - and the new narratives it's attempting to deploy, the timing of this op ed in the WSJ is also worth mentioning (thanks for the tip, Tasker). https://www.wsj.com/articles/lock-her-up-lock-him-up-they-could-lock-you-up-1520189274?mod=rss_opinion_main Sure seems like certain elements within the MSM are nervous about something coming down the pike. https://www.dailynews.com/2018/03/04/obamas-fbi-withheld-information-from-investigator-now-probing-them/ 1 hour ago, Deranged Rhino said: Still reading this... but buried deep in this puff piece is a bombshell: What?!
