Meanwhile at YouTube video views is approaching 4 million however per the court order, YouTube must block the video within 3 days or their entire website may be blocked from Russia.
You claimed the pee pee dossier was 70% verified. McCabe testified to Congress that the only part they've been able to verify is that Carter Page did in fact travel to Moscow. There are transcripts, you know. /shrug
The "dossier" is a collection of 17 memos written over a period of months on various subjects. They contain scuttlebutt that Steele picked up talking with people he knew in Russia. He had no way to verify the truth of the memos, and, at any rate, that was not his job. His job was to find out what people were saying on the street in Russia and report back to Simpson. Per Simpson's sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Steele was given no other orders to look for anything specific. Anyone who says anything different has obviously not done their homework.
When Steele concluded that Trump was possibly being blackmailed by Putin, he asked Glenn Simpson what to do. Simpson told him he had no contacts at the FBI. Steele did, and contacted them. The FBI already had similar information in their files and invited him in to share the memo. It was so close to what they already had on file that Steele was invited back to share the rest of the memos with them.
The FBI has since investigated the content of the memos, and we don't know everything they might have corroborated or rejected. Could be 70%, could be 7%. I missed the part where McCabe said only the portion on Carter Page was verified. Do you have a source for his testimony?
The only part he verified in the open hearing concerned Page, but there was also a closed-door hearing later that same week where he may have covered some of the more sensitive material. Nothing has been reported from that meeting as far as I know, unless you've heard something.
Okay time to let this thread die it's natural death.
In general, GOP supporters don't seem that concerned that:
Trump's campaign manager Manafort was employed by Deripaska or at a minimum owed him money back;
Manafort communicated with Deripaska during the campaign; and
Deripaska has now been shown in communication with a top Kremlin official.
Understandable, what reply can they make?
Further, we can admit that there is no absolute proof they were discussing collusion to win the election for Trump.
Time will tell.
BTW
"In 2005, Manafort proposed a confidential plan to Deripaska to “influence politics, business dealings and news coverage inside the United States, Europe and the former Soviet republics to benefit the Putin government.” In 2006, he signed a $10 million annual contract with Deripaska."
I know it is old news but worth listing in this thread.
Happy future Mueller day!
I don't think there has been a lot of interest among them in Glenn Simpson's testimony, either, since the same misinformation keeps being posted that would be cleared up with a reading of same. If something doesn't fit your narrative/doesn't fit on a bumper sticker, it must be dangerous to peruse.
Took some time to come up with a position to undermine it.
So remind me, what exactly are you trying to undermine here?
Undermine?
I and MANY other people are LAUGHING at the fact that Hillary, the DNC, and their idiot sycophants at the FBI/DOJ were duped by a FOREIGNER who fabricated the fake pee pee dossier with fake info fed to him by Russians.
You may want to read what Comey said. He didn't say the whole dossier was unverified.
Yes, we all know that Carter Page had actually traveled to Moscow. That's the ONLY part of the dossier that has been confirmed.
Consequently, and even though the FISA warrant had been renewed multiple times, NO wrongdoing by Carter Page has ever been found. No charges have been brought against him.

I've reread the entire 300+ pages of testimony and still don't seem to be able to find anything that would apply to collusion between the Russians and either Simpson or Steele.
Help a brother out, here.
