Bump.Here is Durham’s story:
The Trump-Russia probe was launched in July 2016 when a former spy with no prior FBI contacts sent the FBI allegations about a Trump adviser. The ex-spy was being paid by the Clinton campaign.
That’s it. End of Story. Nice and simple, so assemble your talking points.
Despite all this:
The FBI started investigating the Trump campaign in 2015.
Steele had contacts in the FBI going back years.
Republicans first paid Fusion GPS.
The Russians most likely have Kompromat on Trump.
Candidate Trump had a signed memorandum of understanding to build Trump Tower Moscow, and simultaneously kept emphatically repeating over and over that he had no deals “whatsoever” in Russia.
The first guy he hires for his National Security Team is oozing with sketchy Russian connections, and was already under investigation by the FBI. (Page)
Papadoupolus? Yep, National Security team.
Manafort will work for free… while under contract with a Kremlin guy… whom he gave internal polling data.
Flynn. Fired. Found guilty.
Eric Prince, Steve Bannon, my gosh, the list goes on forever with all the sketchy contacts.
The June 10 meeting with the Kremlin lawyer.
Giuliani, Lev Parnas, Igor Fruman, COME ON!
Over and over again, this Russian connection, that Russian connection,
Is It really so hard to believe that a dossier of raw intelligence, which the author admits to be “about 70% accurate”, can be used as part of the evidence to establish probable cause in one FISA?
The only thing that I know of that has been proven wrong about the dossier is the “Michael Cohen in Prague” thing.
And, as is the nature of raw intelligence, much of it can never be corroborated.
Durhams story is impotent.
