B-Man Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 HE ISN’T WRONG: Trump on IG Report: ‘This Was an Attempted Overthrow… We Caught ‘em Red-Handed.’ “And a lot of people were in on it and they got caught. They got caught red-handed. And I look forward to the Durham report, which is coming out in the not-too-distant future. He’s got his own information, which is this information plus, plus, plus. It’s an incredible thing that happened and we’re lucky we caught them.” Also: AG Bill Barr Just Issued a Translation of the DOJ IG Report & It’s a Red-Hot Rebuke of ‘Intrusive’ Spying on Trump. . 2 2

Certainly more than 3 paragraph headlines. And I cross reference and triangulate between works. But I'm not reading 1100 pages of dryly written source material largely written in legal and political lingo. You guys are just better than me if that's what you enjoy doing. "msm" = main stream media... I've demoted them to small letters as they are not worth much more than that. I could call them American-Pravda, it would be a pretty fair description. 2

SugarCone Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 Long time lurker, first time poster - it seems painfully obvious that the collective cannot honor @BillsFanNC's request to avoid link spamming, and to provide some original analysis or commentary of the document. I appreciate that other folks have insights - but if people wanted to put their mouths on the Twitter fire hose they could go directly to Twitter.

I appreciate that other folks have insights - but if people wanted to put their mouths on the Twitter fire hose they could go directly to Twitter. This is an argument put forth from time to time down here. There are several reasons for dropping a twitter link: the article contained within the tweet (so basically crediting the found source) and the twitter threads (some of the people on twitter do not write for a site, but rather put together sourced commentary in the form of a twitter thread). Additionally, twitter posts can bring about additional comment from the posters in PPP on the subject. ? 2 1

Ah, so you're in favor of not posting research by anyone other than yourself?

SugarCone Posted December 10, 2019 Posted December 10, 2019 I don't think its unfair to request the OP's original intent for the thread that he created. I happened to agree with the sentiment that a more fruitful discussion can be had if the thread is not bombarded by commentary at a rate that seems to discourage continuity of ideas and thoughts.

I happened to agree with the sentiment that a more fruitful discussion can be had if the thread is not bombarded by commentary at a rate that seems to discourage continuity of ideas and thoughts. Except even the OP recognized that asking this thread to remain pristine (for lack of a better word) to only thoughts elicited from 1st hand reading of the FISA report by members of this community would have been better had he waited until after the 400+ page report had been out long enough for people to have actually read it. This thread would be very empty at present as almost all of us have day jobs and at best nobody has made it past the executive summary at present. (With DR a potential notable exception to having only read that far.)

Good luck with this. They prefer someone else go to Twitter, filter their feed, and spit it out here. And as a new poster with 2 posts, you'll be predicted to be fake in 3....2...

I happened to agree with the sentiment that a more fruitful discussion can be had if the thread is not bombarded by commentary at a rate that seems to discourage continuity of ideas and thoughts. Intent was exactly as stated in OP. To have discussion of contents of report with opinions only being from board members who have read or are reading the report and not outsourced to media and twitterverse. I did not start the thread with the intent of making it an official business as usual PPP thread of the OIG FISA release, but that's what it turned into and that is where it shall stay. It's my fault for not stating that clear enough in OP and for starting it two days before release. Nevertheless, here we are and there is nothing stopping someone else from starting a book club style discussion thread dealing with the OIG FISA report.

Right. You're terrible at this. Can't? Not true. Won't? True. You clearly believe he's a smoking gun. Based off everything I know about him I think you're really reaching and making A LOT of assumptions. So I genuinely want to know what you know about him. Prove to me you aren't just trying to win an argument. Educate me and stop blatantly lying about things I say. Your anger is blinding you a bit. 1

The only thing I've said about him to you is asking YOU for your opinion on him after you posted an article a week ago littered with falsehoods. YOU'RE BAD AT THIS.

My comment is that you're making a lot of assumptions and are now trying to twist the narrative on a nearly 500 page report that spanned a very very long time and was advertised over here as an ultimate presentation in objectivity. 1 1
