How will democrats defend this?

[Bigdog]

The truth is boring sometimes! It's not always what some people want to hear! [Adolf Twitler]

And you may quote me on that if you like!

Oh ... so that's why Schiff lied about the phone call ... to turn impeachment into his own personal comedy show ... with his "parody".

[Phantasmal]

The Steele Dossier was funded by both Republicans and Democrats. It brought up issues that were used in other investigations. Are we supposed to ignore anything that has ever been investigated by the Steele Dossier

Horowitz investigation found Christopher Steele very credible and Darth forgets that it was raw data. He should look up the meaning. He’s been told all this, he keeps beating the dead dog.

Raw, worthless, data lol.

Nope, they found him very credible, sorry.

Watching Democrats try and defend the Steele Dossier should make for some dizzying spin. Don’t forget your Dramamine.

That should lay some good ground work and add some much needed perspective to this charade. Trump was a *victim* of election meddling by his own intelligence apparatus and the FBI—but it’s not like Chuckie Schumer didn’t warn him.

And note the time length for the defense—3 hours.

The left will defend it, like they always do.

They will lie.

[Darth Omar]

Nope, they found him very credible, sorry.

Steele and his ‘data’ are two different things lol.

What’s one indication Steele was an honest stooge for the Russians? They fed him misleading and/or useless information.

Russians are famous for that, right?

[Grokmaster]

Rather than defend himself from the charges against him, trump's lawyers will waste 3 hours talking about conspiracy theories about other accusations against him? How do Republicans defend that?

You really see detailing the EXACT CORRUPTION in THE UKRAINE the PRESIDENT IS/WAS CONCERNED WITH, IS A "CONSPIRACY THEORY"?


IT IS NO THEORY...GET A CLUE:


Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire

Kiev officials are scrambling to make amends with the president-elect after quietly working to boost Clinton.


Donald Trump wasn’t the only presidential candidate whose campaign was boosted by officials of a former Soviet bloc country.

Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton’s allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers, a Politico investigation found.

NOW, TELL US ALL HOW POLITICO IS PART OF THE "RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY MILL"...


ALSO: FROM THE WH VISITOR LOGS:

Looks like in 2016, the Whistle Blower attended a meeting at the White House over concerns about the Biden's behavior in Ukraine.....
On May 1, 2019, New York Times journalist Ken Vogel contacted State Department official Kate Schilling about a story he was working on regarding an Obama administration meeting in January 2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and mentioned the name of the CIA analyst believed to be the whistleblower whose complaint sparked impeachment proceedings.

In the email, Vogel advised the State Department, "We are going to report that Elizabeth Zentos [State Department official] attended a meeting at the White House on 1/19/2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and embassy officials as well as the whistleblower from the NSC ... The subjects discussed included efforts within the United States government to support prosecutions, in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, of Burisma Holdings, and concerns that Hunter Biden's position with the company could complicate such efforts." The State Department declined to comment. Using archived Obama White House visitor logs it was confirmed the meeting did take place.

On the same day as Vogel's request to the State Department, he had a report published examining how in 2016, then-Vice President Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if Ukraine did not fire its top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin. The video of Biden making that threat is all over the internet.

Exactly, it is all the evidence that Steele found. Steele says in the Steele Dossier that it probably is not all correct. Steele says in the Dossier that about 70-90% of it is true. That makes it a good starting point for further investigation.

If trump could get some evidence that had a better than 10% chance of being true, he could start a real investigation against someone.

Raw, worthless, data lol.

In your world, raw data is worthless? Well, it to their own.

ANOTHER TOTAL FUCKING LIE.

PLEASE LINK TO STEELE SAYING THAT....


I CALL BULLSHIT AGAIN...MORE TOTAL HORSE SHIT YOU PULLED OUT OF YOUR OWN ASS...



FBI's spreadsheet puts a stake through the heart of Steele's dossier

The FBI’s own spreadsheet was so conclusive that it prompted then-FBI Director James Comey (no fan of Trump, mind you) to dismiss the document as “salacious and unverified” and for lead FBI agent Peter Strzok to text, “There’s no big there there.” FBI lawyer Lisa Page testified that nine months into reviewing Steele’s dossier they had not found evidence of the collusion that Steele alleged.

Two years later, Mueller came to the same conclusion: Steele’s intelligence alleging a conspiracy was never verified.

~ But lest anyone be tempted to think Steele’s 2016 dossier is about to be mysteriously revived as credible, consider this: Over months of work, FBI agents painstakingly researched every claim Steele made about Trump’s possible collusion with Russia, and assembled their findings into a spreadsheet-like document.
The over-under isn’t flattering to Steele.

Multiple sources familiar with the FBI spreadsheet tell me the vast majority of Steele’s claims were deemed to be wrong, or could not be corroborated even with the most awesome tools available to the U.S. intelligence community. One source estimated the spreadsheet found upward of 90 percent of the dossier’s claims to be either wrong, nonverifiable or open-source intelligence found with a Google search.

In other words, it was mostly useless.

The Steele Dossier was raw data that Steele collected. Almost all of it proved as truthful. Cambridge Analytica hired Steele.

No it wasn’t.

Cohen was never in Prague, there are no Pee Tapes and there is no Russian consulate in Miami lol. And what Steele was correct about anyone could have discovered by Googling.

It’s a joke.

[Darth Omar]

In your world, raw data is worthless? Well, it to their own.

Data typically refers to numbers.

What ‘data’ did the Dossier provide that was useful for anything other than a smear campaign against Trump?

[dukkha]

No it wasn’t.

yep. its pure Russian dezinformatsiya, peddled to Steele and paid for by the Hillary campaign

[Darth Omar]

Ah, the million dollar question.

Was the Dossier Russian propaganda? The Russian expert who testified in the House inquiry was suspicious of the Dossier for that reason and sure enough, the Dossier was only useful for conjuring conspiracy theories and further dividing the country.

The Russians wouldn’t stoop to that, would they lol?

And if they did, who were the Russian’s useful idiots?
