The dossier was their personal investigation for political gain. They and their allies leaked everything they could to make Trump look bad. The only thing they managed to keep secret that they were behind the whole fraudulent thing.
Of course not. They didn’t come up with anything they could support so they knew it would backfire, just as it eventually did. Why would they take that chance when they were being told by the media that Hillary was sure to be the first woman President? But after the shock, and the dossier was nefariously made public, they continued to hide that they were behind it…which would not only have made them look bad but would have destroyed what little credibility the dossier ever had.
Are you actually defending that dossier at this point? Even Hill blasted it in her testimony.
So… what we have is anger about a dossier that didn’t effect the election, except that it did because reasons.
What I see here is a faulty comparison being drawn between a private entity going out and getting opposition research that they didn’t use and basically abandoned and the President actively leaning on a foreign power to openly investigate a Potential political rival by withholding allocated funding for personal Political benefit.
Forgot a few.
Hillary’s paying Russia for dirt on Trump.
Then Obama using the lies Hillary paid for to fool the fisa courts into letting him spy on Trump.
Holder selling guns to the Mexican drug cartels.
The dems in the IRS targeting conservative groups.
Obama killing a US citizen without a trial.
Hillary using a server in her closet to conduct government business.
Hillary and Obama telling lies about what happened in Benghazi.
Bill meeting in secret with Lynch when Lynch was investigating Hillary.
I will believe that the Democrats were not involved about their agent, Steele, handing the dossier to the FBI if you will agree that if Giuliani is caught doing something wrong related to the investigations it cannot be assumed that Trump was involved.
Oh please. Steele was the agent for the DNC in relation to the fake dossier. It is as easy to believe he would have handed over the work product the DNC paid him to create to the FBI without their knowledge or consent as it is to believe that Giuliani would go off and do something related to the investigations on his own initiative.
As far as the “hired by a guy that was hired by a guy” that is hardly an exculpatory arrangement. That is something that happens when you know you are doing something wrong and want to hide it.
I love how in this instance of what we now know to have happened that there are assumptions made but in the case of what the President has done in real time has not been met with the same level of skepticism
