Of course it was.
You’re making a lot of assumptions. Those texts are vague references to concepts You’re the one inserting the meaning.
He was being paid by the FBI.
You’re in denial and the FBI disagreed which is why they are gone.
Now again, cite the speech.
Yes. Thats what being an asset means - they paid him for information.
He was not an employee of the FBI, and did not work “at their direction”.
He was directed to compile and deliver it and even after he was fired they tried to reengage him.
Page left on her own. Strzok was fired for political reasons. McCabe was fired because he lied about leaking details about an investigation into the Clintons.
You’re zero for three.
No, he had already compiled the dossier for Fusion GPS.
He sold it to the FBI as well.
You really should read that article. It’s half bogus and the other half destroys the point you’re trying to make.
He was never actually paid. Why?
The Nunes memo later states, “Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBIsource for what the FBI defines as the most serious of violations — an unauthorized disclosure to the media of his relationship with the FBI in an October 30, 2016 Mother Jones article by David Corn.”
Faceplant.
We then of course get to Bruce Ohr, the conduit from Fuision GPS to the FBI.
You do understand that there is hard evidence that the Trump campaign was eager to work with Russian government operatives to influence the election, right?
Why is it you only ever post rhetoric rather than facts?
I have no interest in hearing John Solomon pretend to make a case.
The only face planting here would be your own.
They engaged him, authorized the payment, he was then fired for leaking, and they later tried to rehire him.
Right, and the other campaign hired a British Agent.
And he was to be paid by the FBI for compiling same.
And your side come into to towns and say that the republicans want to take their health care, throw grandma off the cliff, make you drink dirty water and breath dirty air. That the other side wants to steal your SS. That peaceful gun owners are baby killers.
There is no shortage of both sides demonizing the other side.
But I will tell you this there is a growing group that is growing tired of this behavior and they are going to do what ever they can when ever they can to let DC know.
Right. In some people’s mind, they invented Page’s meeting in Moscow. They invented Papasopolous meetings in London. They invented Manafort’s history of working for Ukraine. They invented meeting with Russian lawyers at Trump tower.
Then they made all those people lie about it.
Yes. Because he was an FBI asset, and they wanted that information.
None of those meetings violated any laws any more than the democrats meeting with the Russians during the election violated any laws.
You folks are going to look awfully silly when the report is made public in a week or two.
