Rut Roh! Retarded Agents!

being fair there is this part

Brennan cautioned lawmakers that although he could not definitively say if those contacts amounted to "collusion," he knew that Russians were actively cultivating US contacts and, very likely, did not present themselves as Russian spies.

"Frequently, people who go along a treasonous path do not know they are on a treasonous path until it is too late," Brennan said.
Brennan said that he first picked up on Russia's active meddling last summer and, in an August 4, 2016, phone call with Alexander Bortnikov, the head of Russia's FSB intelligence agency, warned him against further interference. Bortnikov, Brennan said, denied any active efforts in the election.

"Fake News" can fairly be assigned to even mild dishonesty, as well as simple negligence, although it's often far worse than that. Stop being thick when it comes to the "fake news" charge. You don't own the term. Rachel Maddow pinching herself in defense of the accusation really sums everything up with you lot. Maybe try being a little less fake.

What are you even talking about. We get it about the negative spin from the msmedia, opposing party and other potential haters out there, but we are talking CIA and FBI here.

""I saw interaction that in my mind raised questions of whether it was collusion," Former CIA director Brennan told Rep. Trey Gowdy, saying that he supported the FBI digging further. "It was necessary to pull threads."

NOw on top of that the FBI had 150+ agents and tech staff on the case prior to Comeys firing. Do you seriously think the FBI puts 150+ people on "fake news" and unsubstantiated rumors that have no credibility?

Well, there is the whole war on drugs thing…

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I saw the whole thing. Gowdy is playing the main character of the partisan hack, trying to change the proceedings to anything but the campaign and failed miserably. In fact his questions prompted the damning responses by Brennan, who handled things most professionally.

Note something for accuracy, Brennan did not say that anyone in the campaign was complicit in wrongdoing. He stated correctly that the intel crossed a threshold to passing the information to proper domestic agencies. Very professional indeed, but there was confirmation of contact. This was a real event.

??? OK, I think the ware of drugs is ridiculous as are our drug laws in general, but it isnt a rumor. They are illegal and they are being trafficked and sold in mass quantities. It's not fake news, rumors or unsubstantiated sources, it's just bad laws and bad policies.

 

[Pens1566]

Gowdy got dragged. Similar to Yates taking Cruz out behind the woodshed a few weeks ago. These smarmy fucking weasels try to use their comfy little soapbox to grandstand and end up getting torched. Love it.

But only if you promise to be a lot more sane.

On one hand I can't stand Trump, on the other hand Brennan is the same liar who claimed there was no mass surveillance program of Americans. Maybe he's right this time, but I will wait until evidence is presented.

There was the fear and lie campaign that the us government perpetrated against us to get the cannabis laws enacted. That part was fake news right?

You're right, it was James Clapper not John Brennan, my mistake.

Enough with the war on drugs stuff. Create a new thread about it.

Sorry about that... I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.

It's entirely my fault for being a smart ass.

Non other than Keith Ellison is saying it's time to drop this RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA agenda. I never, ever thought I'd be saying this but you guys should list to Rep. Ellison.

My guess is that the Dem party is getting concerned about what stones might be turned over in an investigation by Mueller. There really is no other reason for leaders of the party to want to drop this. It certainly isn't to help foster a climate of cooperation and compromise.

 

[Grooveriding]

I guess when all other mental gymnastics fail at rationalizing a way Trump comes out of this investigation in one piece, one has to go with the hope it's his political opponents, that are not the target of the investigation, that are in trouble.

The investigator was also cleared of any potential ethics conflicts, so that gambit is out to try and weaken it, and is now free to go full steam ahead.

Justice Department ethics experts have concluded that newly appointed special counsel Robert S. Mueller III can oversee the investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin during the 2016 presidential election — even though his former law firm represents several people who could be caught up in the matter, authorities announced Tuesday.

In an email, Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said ethics officials had reviewed the case and “determined that Mr. Mueller’s participation in the matters assigned to him is appropriate.” She said the officials had considered Mueller’s professional obligations and those imposed by government ethics regulations.
