Nunes memo confirms that Papadopoulos, not Steele Dossier, triggers the Russia Investigation

Recommended Posts

WUPS!!! This is better placed in the Russiagate thread but it really is such a stand-alone thing that I think it deserves its own moment. Trump's supporters have been pointing at the "fake dossier" for a long time in an effort to refute the investigation.

And yet the "Trumpettes" and their cheerleaders are all claiming 'victory' and that the memo proves the Mueller investigation should be shut down.

Their grasp of reality is getting more and more tenuous.

I think the Trump people fall into two general camps: those that have never even thought of doing their own research and just believe whatever Hannity/Limbaugh/Brietbart tell them, and those who know the memo is bullshit but don't care because it gives them an excuse to shut down the legitimate investigation. What the two groups have in common is their belief that it doesn't matter what the truth or consequences are, so long as their side is seen to be winning.

Will you quit it with those pesky FACTS! You'll make Marc's head explode.




I do believe that Marc has already proven his head is completely fact proofed. He has it wrapped in an official Hannity tinfoil hat to keep the truth out and the lies in.

Very true.

Some of them don't even seem to care about "their side" winning, as much as they do about the "other side" losing.

^That

I'll stand in that corner. I am staunchly anti-socialist/communist.

The only thing the liberal Democrats can provide is derisive opposition. What ever happened to party platform planks and what they were going to do for the nation?

It takes a special kind of stupid to believe that Comey, a lifelong Republican, Rosenstein, a lifelong Republican, and Mueller, a lifelong Republican, are engaged in a conspiracy with Hillary Clinton and the Dems to undermine Trump.

Unless the Russians support your guy. Then you are staunchly pro-Russia.

>>Some of them don't even seem to care about "their side" winning, as much as they do
>>about the "other side" losing.

Great example of that:

As a councellor you should know that there is a gap between how we perceive ourselves and how we actually behave. How large that gap is depends on the person.

Your actions do not show you as staunchly anti-communist, no matter how much you want to believe that you are.

Just wondering exactly how far you go in opposing progressivism. Are you one of the staunch conservatives that is still upset about the "New Deal"?

I kind of agree with you that the Ds are currently offering no real policy direction for America. They seem to be almost completely stuck on being anti-Trump and little else. Of course that is largely because Trump pretty much sucks all of the air out the room....

We need to understand Ron and others in his camp.

National defense, LE and perhaps education. Other than those areas of federal perview, every program entitling an American to a federal benefit, or protection, is communism.

Or am I mistaken?

Yet you clearly support a Russian backed administration.
How is that anti-Communist?????




That's easy. Communism is completely dead in Russia. Russia has not been even a little socialist for well over a decade. It is a right wing oligarchy. Just like Trump wants for America. It's mostly white and Christian, especially the people holding power, and it is it a perpetual fight with it's Islamic population. People like Ron, and also all white nationalists now see Putin's Russia as a natural ally. Russia is a northern country full of white skinned milk drinkers. And, it's not a "shithole" country. What's not to like?

Russia is no longer the enemy. Mohammed's followers are the new boogeymen.

There is no proof of your allegation. OTOH, maybe it is time for us to increase our level of capitalistic relationships with Russia and take away some of the control that China exhibits over our trade.

Bottom line, Donald Trump is POTUS and Hillary ain't.

I have a brother-in-law who is a rigid Democrat because of FDR and the New Deal. His family was poor and struggling for survival as Cuban immigrants. He and his father worked for the C.C.C. The ND gave them a chance for middle class as legal citizens because the Great Depression had hit them hard. He will not consider voting otherwise.

President Trump sucks the air out because he moves at the speed of business not at the pace government bureaucracy.

Islamist aren't building unmanned nuclear submarine/torpedoes aimed at the US though.

Also to Ron, what American "multi-billionaire" can't get a loan IN the USA and instead goes to Russian banks and mafia?????
I'm amazed you believe in a god with zero proof, yet ignore actual factual data and evidence and please and charges about Russia's involvement with the current administration to a treasonous level.

I think your Google is broken.

Coming from a Conservative whose own party's stated goal for 8 years was to block everything?

Did you ever compare Clinton's election manifesto with Trump's? One of them had plans, policies and budgets on multiple important issues... the other had a wall.
Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Latest lies from Nunes:

===========
Q: Some say, well what about Papadopoulos, they started looking at him earlier. What do you say to that?

Nunes: Well, I would say that if Papadopoulos was such a major figure, why didn’t you get a warrant on him? Papadopoulos was such a major figure, you had nothing on him, you know, the guy lied. As far as we can tell, Papadopoulos never even knew who Trump wa—never even had met with the president.
===========

It took all of a few seconds to locate the picture of Trump and Papadopoulous in a meeting together. In an official Trump campaign photo touting the caliber of his national security meetings.

I think it was RushMC who said that if something is based on a lie you have to throw it out. So Nunes claims - thrown out.
