'Curveball'
The faulty assumption that Saddam Hussein was reconstituting his weapons of mass destruction program rested, in part, on intelligence sources who were lying. One of them was an Iraqi defector with the telling alias of "Curveball," who claimed that Hussein possessed mobile bioweapons labs.
This became a central exhibit in the George W. Bush administration's assertions that Hussein had a biological weapons program. But Curveball later admitted he had made up the whole story.
A month before the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, CIA Director George Tenet testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that Iraq had "provided training in poisons and gases to two al Qaeda associates." But what Tenet didn't know was that this information had come from a militant who had been tortured in Egypt.
In December 2001, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, a Libyan militant affiliated with al Qaeda, was captured in Pakistan. The CIA then "rendered" Libi to Egypt. Once in Egypt's grim prisons, to improve his chances of better treatment, Libi fed his interrogators a number of fairy tales, including that Osama bin Laden had sent two operatives to Iraq to learn about biological and chemical weapons.
Trump promises to reveal info on hacking 01:45
Because Libi's story encapsulated the key arguments for the Iraq War, his tale was picked up by President Bush in a keynote speech in Cincinnati on October 7, 2002, in which Bush laid out his rationale for the coming war with Iraq, saying, "We've learned that Iraq has trained al Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases."
But once he was back in American custody, on February 14, 2004, Libi recanted what he had falsely told his Egyptian jailors. Libi told his US interrogators that he had "fabricated" his tale of the Saddam Hussein-al Qaeda-poison connection to the Egyptians following "physical abuse and threats of torture."

That's really the only reason you guys support Trump. It's actually kind of funny how much you & the other Trumpsters talk about that aspect - how much it just drives the libbies crazy.
Pretty telling as to what you think of him as POTUS. I don't remember anyone on the left trumpeting that about Obama.
i'm not talking about investigations. I am talking about the scenario of your fake news russia story actually being true.

Well Deshtard, I had already looked at that yesterday. How was I able to find such a little known esoteric source without your help?

Well, it isn't "my" story. But whether you like it or not, there was enough there for the FBI to instigate an investigation (I know, I know - deeeep staaaate).
All I have advocated is that the investigation play out. There is certainly enough "there" there for me, at least to warrant an investigation. If Trump & his minions didn't complain about it all the time, it wouldn't get nearly the coverage that it does.
And if they find nothing, that still puts him 2-3 fruitless investigations behind Clinton.
Russia involved in our elections is fake news....
The Patriot act is being abused, used as political tool life the IRS, revealed by the FICA courts...
No votes were changed anywhere in the entire country by Russia or anyone else....
Hillary broke the law and was let go...to big to arrest, no one is excused from breaking the law by their lack of intent or ignorance of the law....
Brennen started investigating Trump over a year ago, no end in sight.
clinton was literally smashing hard drives with hammers. She should be in jail and the only reason she isn't is that she owns washington D.C.
in contrast this russia story is little more than vapornews. There has still been zero evidence presented to anyone, minus anonymous friends of friends word.
but more to the point thing1, we are arguing something completely different. You either ignored what I said above or it went over your head. Why do you believe democracy is worse off when there is MORE transparency and the citizens are MORE informed with regards to the corruption of their candidates?

Dershowitz is a civil libertarian. And he expressed his opinion. I hope we can still do that in this country.

that's what all this "russia collusion" story points derives from. This all began when hillary cried about the russsssians and their "hacking" and costing her the election.
"The russians revealed my corruption and made me lose"
People find this to be a valid argument ^
