They walked away once Trump was the nominee.

We need an investigation to determine.... when and how this investigation was started, what role the unverified dossier played in the investigation, and who authorized the use of the dossier in the FISA warrants. |
The former Obama administration is going to be facing an investigation into the origins of their attempted coup to unseat an elected President. Simply, you cannot falsify evidence as the basis for obtaining warrants to spy on political opponents nor use that false evidence as the basis for investigating someone in an attempt to impeach them. We are still a nation of laws, not feelings- so this level of treason will need to be fully investigated. |
That's not an attempted coup. Maybe it would be if Pence instigated it, but he didn't. Not only are we still a nation of laws, we are also a nation of dictionaries and proper definitions, not your angry feelings |
Democrats paid for a fake dossier that got passed to our intelligence agencies in order to green light the FISA warrant to spy on the opposing candidate. When they lost, they then used that same fake dossier to launch a two year investigation to oust a siting President. It was an attempted coup and it was treason. https://twitter.com/hashtag/spygate?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Ehashtag |
The stupid is so strong. Your sources are twitter and YouTube. Stable geniuses, the lot of you. |
That's not a coup, nor is it treason. Your angry feelings are clouding your ability to think critically and logically. |
DP here. Either our intelligence agencies were "in on" the advancing of false reporting regarding the dossier, or they were duped by Russian disinformation. Which is it? Either one is not good. |
Fund raising on the left over the Mueller report - crickets...
Fund raising on the left over the silent coup - crickets... Fund raising on the right over no collusion - RAGE! |
This should be pinned at the top of each discussion thread. |
I’m probably not the poster you are talking about since I’m not outraged by any of the items above. Politicians fund raise over/on anything. Our political system is based on large amounts of money for both parties. We will never get campaign finance reforms since Congress would have to vote against their interests. |
It didn't come out til right before the inaugural - it wasn't used to undermine a political election campaign at all. It was one of several pieces of a COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INVESTIGATION because people on the Trump campaign were working with Russians and were surveilled by FiveEyes and our IC. Chicken and egg, don't conspire with Russians and you won't be under surveillance. |
Even if it was used to obtain the original FISA warrant (it was, but it was one of MANY touch points to obtain the warrant,) the warrant was granted by a (GOP appointed) Federal Judge. Had nothing come of it, then poof, it goes away. However, something did come of it. Not once, not twice, but three times, the warrant was extended but (GOP appointed) federal judges under supervision from (Trump appointed DAG) Rosenstein.
That extension can only happen if there a fruit being born from the warrant as adjudicated by the (GOP appointed) judges. So are you saying that Rosenstein and the GOP judges are in on it too? |
Or, it was used as an excuse for our intelligence to have been illegally surveilling members of the opposition party. And, it did come out before the election. October 31, 2016: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/veteran-spy-gave-fbi-info-alleging-russian-operation-cultivate-donald-trump/ I'll say it again....... Either our intelligence agencies were "in on" the advancing of false reporting regarding the dossier, or they were duped by Russian disinformation. Which is it? Either one is not good. |
Or, you have been totally duped by misinformation and the simplest answer is the right one. We have a fully compromised and corrupted president who answers to Vladimir Putin. |
It's called circular reporting.
