Nothing against DR (other than he's a BSC conspiracy Ufologist ), he's done an outstanding job shining a light where others didn't want to. But the investigators know more about what's going on. It's just, they either don't really care or they know the perpetrators are untouchable. For all the talk of land of the free and home of the brave, we've devolved into a feudal system with an aristocracy and the MSM is a modern clergy preaching down to keep the peasantry in line For the record, I fully agree with that take -- I do not know more than the actual investigators in the DOJ/FBI et al. The people in the DOJ/FBI/USIC who I speak to regularly remind me of that fact For the record, I said that it seems, and the next sentence expanded on that with: Quote It's really hard for me to believe that though so it keeps coming back to the depths of the corruption may also involve those investigators enough to bury the whole proceedings. 1

I am not certain they are all uninformed (some are), but others are willfully ignorant, still others see themselves as gatekeepers of information, and yet others are merely talking heads reading, and only "knowing" what the TelePrompter tells them to say (and think). Sometimes I worry that what has happened is too much for the average person to grasp, especially with a complicit media keeping the main details away from the average citizen who does not actively seek out the source documents. 2

Deranged Rhino Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 20 minutes ago, GaryPinC said: Ummm, because Rick Wilson is a "never Trumper" who never even worked on the Presidential campaign? The article makes that point clear. Rick Wilson hired Fusion GPS to do oppo research on Trump, he's also the source of the tinkle tape (which his staff admitted in 2016 was fake -- but no one covered it). Fusion and Wilson stopped working months prior to the Clinton campaign hiring Simpson/Steele to create the dossier. That the FBI ignored him is more about Simpson knowing what Wilson had (and what was invented) and knowing it could never be used as efficiently in the FISC as the work of Steele who had "objectivity" and "expertise" in the eyes of the court. 1 1

That's fine, but the article doesn't go into all that and doesn't seem to realize all of those details. Here is the last sentence of the article: To test the hypothesis that Steele and Simpson had reliable information, all the FBI agents needed to do was call Rick Wilson. They didn’t pick up the phone. My simple point is why should the FBI pick up the phone when Simpson's statement is clearly disproven with a simple investigation? Just a really poor article IMO

It's the 5th paragraph of the story: Simpson’s oddball claim, which emerged in FBI files made public by recent Judicial Watch litigation, would have been easy to debunk. Wilson was already a well-known “Never-Trump” Republican. He not only didn’t work for the campaign; Wilson had told CNN in the early presidential primary days of 2015 that he was gathering opposition research of his own on Trump. He bragged that his file on Trump was going to be “the most magnificent document in history.”

The FBI ignored Wilson because Steele's info was considered much more reliable to the FISC court than Wilson's. But this article doesn't tie the tinkle tape to Wilson nor the fact that he worked with Fusion. The article seems to have the perspective that the FBI talking to Wilson would have debunked all of Simpson/Steele's claims, since Wilson was never in the campaign and never sued. My point is the FBI's initial review of the tip may have caused them to drop it as unreliable.
