They want so badly to turn that fake news into fake history. There is no proof of hacking. Saying it as if it's been proven is a lie.

You're probably right. The FBI should show the FISA application & put this to bed.

Why?

This will occupy RW types for some time.

That can wait until the completion of Mueller investigation.

You think the FISA court, which had already turned down at least one FBI surveillance request, granted a warrant to surveil a presidential candidate and his campaign team because an Australian diplomat claimed he was told of Russian activity by a drunk guy over dinner at a restaurant? Does that sound logical to you?

Why? What's the harm of releasing it? I mean, they have to release it anyway, why not do it voluntarily?

This hubbub about the dossier is just deflection. It confirmed some things the FBI had already figured out, and we would still be seeing an investigation even without it.

No one hacked the DNC? No one hacked anyone?

What evidence is there that the DNC was hacked? What evidence is there that it was the Russians? What evidence is there that Russia gave hacked material to WikiLeaks? This should be good.

The investigation should not be providing information until completed, it only creates more publicity and confusion.

Exactly.

Mueller has more important things to do than counter every RWNJ's latest conspiracy theory.
