Russian Collusion! (Page 9/11)

Wow. A zinger. I didn't see that one coming. From the end of Page 2.

Anybody into the old TV sitcoms, way back from the 1960s? So picture this. I'm thinking of some of the current and recent news reports coming out of DC, and suddenly I kind of "glom" onto this. I didn't come up with the new verses or lyrics. I just had that thought, and made it an "ask" of someone I know, that's got a way with that kind of thing.

There's a riot on the lawn,
The West Wing's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in court
That's backed up to Woodbourne Heights.
Putin's hacking our elections,
Cyber Com's got no directions,
General John Kelly, Where are you?

Here's the original Car 54 theme song on YouTube

Woodbourne Heights. That's a neighborhood near Washington, DC.

What a mindf*ck. I mean it's corny as hell, but hey, nobody's paying us any royalties for this.

I could be wrong, but I suspect there's at least one member here that will like this. One member, besides me. Although maybe that guy will just keep it to himself.

If anyone is looking to sort of curl up with a longish read this afternoon, I've got one. I just got a preview of it on one of my cable TV channels. I don't know Jane Mayer from Oscar Mayer, but this weekly magazine-length feature article delves into what happened (and what didn't happen) involving Christopher Steele, the Hillary Clinton campaign, the James Comey-led FBI and the Obama administration, during the national elections of 2016 and the end of Obama's last term and the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency.

"The world according to Jane Mayer."

As key members of the team 'investigating' HRC/server/emails have been found to be partisan, effectively ruining their reputations as impartial investigators, I don't find it surprising that there is a push back from the liberal MSM.

It really isn't even "push back" in the usual sense.

Ronald's new fascination is a piece of pure creative writing fiction that starts off with a lie in the very first paragraph.

It's a fairytale for weak minds like Ronald's

As for Jane Mayer....well , a list of her articles looks like a suggested reading list from the DNC. Let's just say that being objective isn't within her understanding or ability, but she does give her leftist customers plenty of what they want, so it's obvious that she at least understands her market.

So, a LIE in the very first paragraph..?


quote
In January [2018], after a long day at his London office, Christopher Steele, the former spy turned private investigator, was stepping off a commuter train in Farnham, where he lives, when one of his two phones rang. He’d been looking forward to dinner at home with his wife, and perhaps a glass of wine. It had been their dream to live in Farnham, a town in Surrey with a beautiful Georgian high street, where they could afford a house big enough to accommodate their four children, on nearly an acre of land. Steele, who is fifty-three, looked much like the other businessmen heading home, except for the fact that he kept his phones in a Faraday bag—a pouch, of military-tested double-grade fabric, designed to block signal detection.

Is this your admission of having a weak mind Ronald, or are you just spamming the thread now with this spy fiction novel ?

Read that paragraph s.l.o.w.l.y and carefully. You can even move your lips as you read if you need to.

I know you desperately want to believe every word of that fictional story, but at least TRY even a molecule of critical thought Ronald.

It's right there in that paragraph. ONE outright, obvious LIE and it could have ONLY come from Steele himself.

The phone that rang was not inside the Faraday bag when the call came in.

He took the call on that phone, and then put it inside the Faraday bag with the other phone.

I have not even read past that first paragraph--yet. What would be the significance of this very slight discrepancy or very slight mis-telling of the narrative? How material would anyone think, is this small discrepancy, to the overall narrative that is unfolding in this weekly magazine-length article?

NOWHERE does it say ANY of that Ronald.

You so desperately WANT to believe that spy fiction that you even embellish it yourself with your own fiction.

Moreover, Jane Mayer WASN’T THERE. She never claimed to be, AND she never claimed to have ever interviewed Steele herself….NOT ONCE.

Accordingly, she has NO independent idea when that phone allegedly rang, where it allegedly rang or even IF it actually did ring.

She has no clue what Steele actually looked like that day or if he was really ever on a damn commuter train.

So WHERE precisely does Janie get her details for this story of hers?

Objective TRUTH and ACCURACY MATTER. (except to lefties)

You have a weak mind Ronald, but that’s been painfully evident for a very long time now.

No wonder you constantly gobble up crap like that and regurgitate it back on this forum

Great point. Moving right along:

quote
A friend in Washington, D.C., was calling with bad news: two Republican senators, Lindsey Graham and Charles Grassley, had just referred Steele’s name to the Department of Justice, for a possible criminal investigation. They were accusing Steele—the author of a secret dossier that helped trigger the current federal investigation into President Donald Trump’s possible ties to Russia—of having lied to the very F.B.I. officers he’d alerted about his findings. The details of the criminal referral were classified, so Steele could not know the nature of the allegations, let alone rebut them, but they had something to do with his having misled the Bureau about contacts that he’d had with the press. For nearly thirty years, Steele had worked as a close ally of the United States, and he couldn’t imagine why anyone would believe that he had been deceptive. But lying to an F.B.I. officer is a felony, an offense that can be punished by up to five years in prison.

NO.

I'm not going to go any further with this obvious FICTION with you.

The legal profession has a term; "Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus."

Jane Mayer's story is NOT CREDIBLE, and neither are you.
