A campaign hiring an oppo team and then rejecting their findings only for the oppo team to make them public later; and 2. A campaign eagerly and willingly meeting with agents of a hostile foreign power to obtain oppo Well then, I guess I would just have to question your skills of comprehension. I see a big difference between dirt gathered by a foreign national using Russian spies miraculously getting out versus a meeting setup by the dirt-gathering team in which no dirt was produced. That you consider using an intermediary acceptable makes me question your intelligence. 1 1

That you cannot understand something incredibly basic and integral to your own thesis makes me question your intelligence.

It's called being facetious. The dirt was meant to get out and harm Trump. Just because there were several degrees of separation between the Russian dirt providers and those who commissioned it doesn't make it better than a one-off meeting that produced no dirt at all. 1

Intentionality on the part of the campaign certainly matters, don’t you think?

It only came to light when Steele started shopping it around. They hired a firm to do oppo. That firm contracted a guy. That guy talked to a bunch of people and when he presented his findings to the campaign, they rejected it. Unlike the Trump campaign, the Clinton campaign was not knowingly dealing directly with Russian operatives. 1

I don’t even know why we have to defend Hillary Clinton, who was a horrible choice as a president by the Democrats this what about ism to somehow make it like trump isn’t bad because Hillary was awful is a really head scratcher
SoCal Deek Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Reading through the last few hours of dialogue I can see that the Get Trump spin doctors have been hard at work here trying to once again rewrite history so that they can say “We’ve been over this already.” Mrs Clinton would be very very proud. 2 1

B-Man Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Curious, isn’t it? Since the indictment dropped, that has been presented as the most damning evidence against him, yet he wasn’t charged for it. It should come as no surprise that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office declined to comment for the story. As for all of those who insisted the audio recording was a “smoking gun,” well, how can it be when he wasn’t even charged over that document? https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/matt-margolis/2023/06/29/what-the-media-isnt-telling-you-about-the-trump-recording-n1707188 . 1

I am finding it hard to find the words to explain just how stupid this line of "reasoning" is. So let me try an example: - I am indicted for Conspiracy to Traffic Cocaine based on an agreement with a known trafficker to buy "100 kilos of white vitamin powder.: - There is an old recording of me and that same trafficker from 2010, outside the statute of limitations, in which I say I want to buy "100 kilos of coke" and the trafficker says, "let's just call it white vitamin powder from now on to be safe." I say o.k, agreed. Everyone would say that 2010 recording is the smoking gun the prosecutor needs. Everyone. 1

Two different points there, pal: - should the prosecution have leaked it, and what was the purpose of leaking it? Sure, that should be a discussion. And it no doubt will lead to defense motions. - is it a smoking gun? No real debate there. It seals up Trump's initial (layman's) defense (which is why you need a good lawyer, and you need to keep your mouth shut about specifics of a criminal investigation in which you are the target) defense: the everything he had declassified any previously-classified documents he took out of the White House. Just completely eviscerated that argument. That leaves the defense with a weaker argument: "sure, he thought some documents remained classified after the fact, but not these documents charged in the indictment." (buy why?) Or even: "he thought the documents were still classified, but he was wrong - they were necessarily deemed declassified by his decision, while still President, to take them into his personal care and custody." They can and may make those arguments, but any lawyer would prefer the "blanket declassification" theory that their can't-keep-his-mouth-shut defendant initially floated.

Tommy Callahan Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 Woosh. released so the MSM could parrot the narratives that are now being used as organic by supporters.
