In case anybody wonders why the FBI looked into a possible Trump-Russia connection...

(Yahoo)Democrats and other critics of the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden have called for the GOP to put an end to its efforts following the indictment of a key witness on charges of lying to the FBI. Alexander Smirnov had contact with a number of Russian officials and admitted Russian intelligence officials were involved in passing him a false story about the president’s son Hunter Biden, according to a court document.

Lev Parnas, a former associate of Rudy Giuliani, testified at Wednesday’s hearing that he “found precisely zero evidence of the Bidens’ corruption in Ukraine” when he was tasked by Donald Trump and the former president’s former lawyer to try to dig up dirt on the Bidens. “The only information ever pushed on the Bidens in Ukraine has come from one source and one source only: Russia and Russian agents,” Parnas told the committee.

(Independent)Lev Parnas, a Ukrainian-American businessman who served time in prison for violating federal campaign finance laws and fraud charges, told committee members that he’d been a “key participant” in a scheme to dig up dirt on Mr Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.

He said Mr Giuliani had “tasked” him with “finding dirt on the Bidens so that an array of networks could spread misinformation about them” so Mr Trump and his allies could “damage the Bidens’ reputations and secure the 2020 election for Trump”.

(The Hill)“Weren’t media groups skeptical of your claims?” Raskin asked [Parnas].

“Most media groups — I’d probably say all, except for Fox and a few other right-wing media groups — didn’t want to take any of the information, and that aggravated Rudy Giuliani and John Solomon and other players,” Parnas said. “And the main group that it was being pushed through was Fox — Sean Hannity and some other media personalities over there.”

“But then there was also other people that were doing the bidding for the Russians — people in Congress, like Sen. Ron Johnson, like Congressman Pete Sessions, who sits here right now,” Parnas said, gesturing toward the Texas congressman, who sits on the committee.

    But they haven't come close to collusion, correct?

    So in the Russian terms, they got what they wanted. They wanted the left lebbings to all jump off the cliff because the one ahead of them did. Zero collusion, Zero issue. Their goal was to throw our system into a tailspin. And you are still falling hook, line, and sinker over it.

    congratulations. You're one more thing on the list. A useful idiot.

    If you want to go tit for tat, look up the cliton foundation who hired the steele dossier to be given to the DOJ and IC expectedly to ruin trumpster. So don't whine to anyone about this bullshit if you can't include them.

    I put this in here as your primer. None of your holy triad ever talked about them, so it's time to put on your sixth-grade panties.

    The Clinton Foundation's questionable money dealings have raised eyebrows for years. Now, a letter circulating in Congress alleges that the Clinton family's supposed do-gooder foundation is in fact a "lawless, 'pay-to-play' enterprise that has been operating under a cloak of philanthropy for years."

    Those are pretty tough words for a former president and his wife, who happens to be the leading candidate to be our next president. But the congressional letter, which the Daily Caller News Foundation got its hands on, was written by Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., who plans on asking the FBI, IRS and Federal Trade Commission to launch a "public corruption" investigation.

    Is it warranted, or just politics? It sure looks like the former. As Blackburn's letter says, there is a "pattern of dealing that personally enriched the Clintons at the expense of American foreign policy."


    A U.S. tax court judge has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to disclose if it criminally investigated the Clinton Foundation.

    This ruling was part of an ongoing case involving whistleblowers who have long alleged wrongdoing on the part of the charity that bears the name of former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    Judge David Gustafson pointed to a “gap” in IRS records and said that the agency’s claim to have never criminally investigated the Clintons’ charity “was not supported by the administrative record and thus constituted an abuse of discretion.”

    OD,
    So the Russians just gave the impression that they were helping Trump just to make people like me look bad. Those damn Russkies!

    As you might remember, John Durham's investigation of the FBI was only slightly more successful than the GOP-led impeachment inquiry has been.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A special prosecutor has ended his four-year investigation into possible FBI misconduct in its probe of ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign with withering criticism of the bureau but a meager court record that fell far short of the former president’s prediction he would uncover the “crime of the century.”

    The report Monday from special counsel John Durham represents the long-awaited culmination of an investigation that Trump and allies had claimed would expose massive wrongdoing by law enforcement and intelligence officials. Instead, Durham’s investigation delivered underwhelming results, with prosecutors securing a guilty plea from a little-known FBI employee but losing the only two criminal cases they took to trial.

    Honestly, they don't give a fuck about you. Seriously. You really underestimate people you like. Putin especially.

    As I said twice. They did it to throw our election into chaos. They did that. Mission accomplished.

    And they still have useful idiots like yourself that still fall for their propaganda. Hook. line. sinker.

    I am glad I looked it up. Wow, it was the REPUBLICANS who originally hired Christopher Steele for his dossier work! More at link.

    OD,

    This Dem Russia Russia Russia stuff with Trump is a lot like their claims that it is Trump who's suffering from cognitive decline. Maybe he is, but that "dithering and diminished" Doddering Old Fool? Baha.

    curt- you're correct about steele, but they found him to be unreliable and a liar. Apparently, the dims, FBI, and CIA didn't think so. And you were duped (again, or maybe still).

    That was open sourced during the cliton foundation investigations years ago because the dims thought it would hurt trumpster. You're usually not real good at fact, so if you "overlooked" it by being a massively misled useful idiot.

    Oh, using NPR for "facts" without supporting documentation is like me using the far, far right (the stuff Lead and I won't use) without supporting documentation. or maybe TASS. They "may" get one "fact" straight, but like you they use the nonfactual information to build their case. And pick "a" line and argue that since they have nothing else.

    If you can find a few other sites saying the same thing. Use them. I'll believe it more and you might have a case. From them alone? You're just gullible.

    Sorry, my whole thought here has been 1. every political campaign uses opposition research. Some even pay for opposition research on their own campaign to see what the enemy is going to find. And using an "international" researcher isn't a bad idea.

    The issue is that steele was giving the trumpster campaign information even Rudy wouldn't use that was a lie. So they left him. Steele did the next best thing. He went to the clitons to tell them trumpster had approached him. They should have known better because he was fired, but they didn't.

    Steele fabricated the trumpster dossier. The dims (read clitons, FBI, CIA and Bruce OHR later on) fell for it hook, line, and sinker. They were too greedy to think Steele would lie to them and this was "just too good."

    Later on, when there were issues with the story, a couple of FBI agents looked into Steele and got permission to pay him a huge amount of money to confirm his intel. He couldn't. The agents told the higher ups there were too many flaws in the dossier, and it should be scrapped. The agents warned the Bureau (and thereby the clitons, and CIA), to no avail. At that point the lie was already in the hands of those using the dossier for FISA warrants, etc ILLEGALLY (the ones you like).

    Bang on, OD, but isn't a bit tedious that all Curt can do to support the Doddering Old Fool is to shout, "TRUMP!!!!!"


  10. by oldedude on March 21, 2024 7:16 am
    A little, yeah... The daily jabber of him skimming through the "I Hate Trump and he Needs to Die" website gets pretty sickening. It reminds me of some of the trash you get online with the stupid "Biden is an alien, Here is the ABSOLUTE TRUTH" headlines.

    What he doesn't understand is the Chinese and Russians hate (the inclusive) "us" as much as he hates trumpster. Except if the opportunity could happen and not have them involved, they'd murder him. And as soon as pedojoe becomes a non-player, him also.

    The radical Muslims hate him FAR MORE than he hates trumpster. They are also sworn Qur'anic enemies to him, isle, Donna & po, which means they have the right by God to murder them whenever they see them. Be it in the public or any other time.

    I think it's strange how the left's "world" doesn't go outside of hatred, and especially trumpster. How much time they spend, how many lies they believe and then when proven wrong, they continue the lies. I guess that's what makes me frustrated.
