From experience I doubt anyone goes to jail over Dossier-Gate or Uranium-gate.

What we need are some FBI/DOJ whistleblowers or maybe 4chan/WikiLeaks hackers get to crackin on email servers of Perkins Coie/Fusion/Crowdstrike

At least we could embarrass them, but look at Climategate, all the frauds got exposed but they are still working and getting grants.

windansea,

I wonder if this has anything to do with that explanation (from the last thread):

Responding to JiB's comment on the last thread:

Not that economics is an exact science but considering that thanks to an obstructionist Senate, DJT's actions on the economy have been undoing Zippy's EO's, the evidence for the Zip shills is lacking.

"I delivered the information to the Director of the FBI. That has been the extent of my contact with the FBI or any other government agency regarding this issue,” the senator said in a statement on Wednesday morning.

[X] My erection is flying majestically like an eagle made of meat and malice

OMG, I almost pissed myself laughing! This is some of the funniest shit ever!

Rosie has been doing a great cameo on "Gotham" as Pig.

I've long held the opinion of Lefties that if the fit were to ever hit the shan and it was time to go for our bullets, they'd cave do a lack of emotional grit.

I can't imagine being despondent over a presidential election. When the Morons elected the Bath House Rat, it was just another day for his entire term. Sure, I had plenty of wee wee and vinegar to hurl on discussion blogs--- but depression and anxiety?

My life is worth more than who sits in the White House.

Donald Trump is a landlord over more than just his hotel real estate. He's owns the heads of the O'Donnells and the Sky Screamers.... He pays no rent and finances no debt.

They have completely caved.

Now let's see some coup d gras dramatics or run them through with the broad sword of retributive justice.

Ig, nothing to add, other than if you have point tenderness--pushing with your finger elicits severe pain---you may have a fracture, so you should get an xray. If it's generlaized pain of the aching variety when poking around, what you're doing is what you should do.

============================

I bet they weren't the only media organizations or reporters who paid Fusion.

The guy on Fox now, Zach somebody for the dems, says the importance is the CONTENT, not who paid for it.

Still beating the dead horse.

[Captain Hate]

I can't imagine being despondent over a presidential election.

I was pretty morose for a short while after the 2012 but then I came to grips by remembering how much I'd despised Mutt Rombley in the past and that it took JMH to convince me that he'd be ok; and that probably a lot of my peers weren't exposed to someone that persuasive.

I never lost faith in the American people to ultimately do the right thing though, although I know some here did. I really didn't want to be wrong about that.

[Rocco]

Hmmm, WFB founded by Michael Goldfarb who was McCain's deputy communications director for his 2008 presidential run.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Rocco,

That's a pretty valuable piece of information!

I see that the Free Beacon says they hired FGPS to do opposition research on a lot of GOP candidates.

And that goes back to my theory that the reporters in DC were subcontracting investigative work to Fusion GPS.

That is beyond coincidence.

So the Egg conspiracy is at the center of the dossier. It must be the most effective flypaper ever deployed.

[Davod]

Don't forget that McCain sent an aide to London to pick up the dossier.

[windansea]

Paul Singer, NY hedge fund guy, funded Free Beacon, was a Rubio backer, then a never Trumper
.

What's funny is all these Fusion clients paid millions but "don't know nuthin about no Trump dossier"

[Rocco]

The question begs...did McCain, Kristol and the righteous gang collude with Hillary to bring Trump down? In other words, we'll get the ball rolling then hand it off to Hillary for the end around.

[Davod]

The real question should be is did McCain read the dossier, then sent an aid to London to collect a copy, so he could present it to the FBI.

[windansea]

And that goes back to my theory that the reporters in DC were subcontracting investigative work to Fusion GPS.
Posted by: Miss Marple the Deplorable | October 27, 2017 at 07:17 PM

It's fact not theory, Fusion GPS are slime merchants who work for highest bidder, they got Singer 2.4 billion out of Argentina for some bonds he bought cheap. They work for anybody who wants dirt.

[Captain Hate]

Has anybody here, maybe Clarice or Tonto, met Kristol? I'm having a difficult time coming to grips with how badly I overestimated him. Some people are revealed as opportunistic assholes and you shrug your shoulders and admit that you knew it was possible. But I thought Billy boy was much better than what he's been revealed as. And now he's obliquely tied to the Dossier. Just great...

I know that Miss Marple told me multiple times how he was behind torpedoing Quayle, and maybe she was right but to me that was just another example of the disgusting habit of the GOP being conned into conveniently dumping an asset who deserves a lot better.

Oh well, live and learn.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Rocco,

Seems likely since I discovered that Matthew Continetti, Free Beacon's editor, is married to Bill Kristol's daughter!

[henry]

Rocco, yes. And I would add are still colluding. What else was Kristol's emergency confab in SC about? Why else toss in French Egg McMuffin as a spoiler? This is Treason. They should all hang. They know it. Now they are starting to realize they have been caught, exposed. Their lack of character shows in their response.

[narcisoyea]

Very interesting, I suspected as much, only he would have the heft, want he part of the sea island conference/strategy session, first time I head of him wee when he was at a dinner that the huntress attended dc back in January 2009 I'm guessing she saw they wouldn't let her play any rainferr games.

[Captain Hate]

Don't forget that McCain sent an aide to London to pick up the dossier.

McRINO needs to be on the no-fly list until he gets planted.

[Threadkiller]

You guys and you dot connecting can make a birther's head spin.

I love it!

CH, I always found Kristol to be too smug, too impressed with himself to take anything he said seriously from the first time I saw him on TV.

The ChiLurker krout chips, which I was wondering how they could have probiotics if they were cooked? (Not that I was doubting Chi Lurker's unspoken testimony that something in them was making him fart.)

Here's the answer I got from my email to the company:

Thank you for contacting Farmhouse Culture. Our Kraut Krisps are first baked to give them loft and blisters, and then fried as a finishing step. Since most (if not all) of the live bacteria is challenged to survive the cooking process, our Krisps are fortified with an additional shelf stable probiotic seasoning blend that supplies over 1 Billion CFUs per 1oz serving.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Captain Hate,

Regarding Kristol, R Emmett Tyrell, founder of The American Spectator, said about Kristol:

"He's the type of guy who likes to sit in his Georgetown study, sipping brandy and wearing a smoking jacket, when he doesn't smoke."

As you are well aware, I have considered him a destructive force in conservative politics for a long time. I now have further evidence.

You guys were obviously right. I guess I placed to much stock in him going on the Morning Homewreckers and ridiculing F Chuck for a witless comment about Palin, which probably any of us could've done.

Self inflicted flypaper. This is amazing. Time for another rail car of popcorn.

[JimNorCal]

An interesting comment from PL post "investigate this(2)"

"It seems odd that the FBI, with 35,000 employees, would outsource material from a firm like GPS Fusion. But, remember this all lead to a Special Prosecutor. Now think back to Joe Wilson's trip to Niger. Curiously, the CIA sent a man who wasn't a CIA agent on a "secret" mission, then allowed him to lie about it in the pages of the NY Times a few months before a presidential election. That too, lead to... a Special Prosecutor."

Coincidence, no doubt, but an odd one.

[henry]

Damn Jim. I better order a unit train of popcorn.

The Media is Misrepresenting the Catalonia Vote

They keep calling it "70 to 10". The legislature has 135 seats and most of opposition did not want to participate in an illegal vote.

That makes the real total 70 to 65, a slight majority, not the supermajority needed to form a new country. And polls show the people evenly split. Meanwhile, the Spanish Senate voted 4-to-1 to oppose secession.

Spengler argues that demographics, economics and history favor independence. But this seems to me to be the relevant history:

The Economist: "Spain’s democratic constitution of 1978, which was approved by more than 90% of Catalan voters, gave wide autonomy to the regions but affirmed “the indissoluble unity of the Spanish nation”. Only the Spanish parliament can change the constitution. Mr Puigdemont’s referendum is therefore illegal..."

And for a guy who recently wrote a column harshly condemning Confederate sentimentalism, he seems oddly unconcerned about secessionism.

But this is what made me write: "Americans who cheered Britain for voting for Brexit and supported Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary for standing up to the European Community over mass Muslim immigration should support Catalan nationalists as well."

Catalan Nationalists and Puigemont's Far-Left party supported mass Muslim immigration, flooding the region and even converting by the thousands.

That's one reason there were no bollards on Las Ramblas to stop the recent vehicle terrorist attack.

As a conservative, I oppose Far-Left Soros-style politics--and he is probably involved. I oppose a jihad-friendly state in Europe. I oppose an ally being ripped apart by a faction. And I want constitutions to mean what they say.

¡Viva España!

Captain Hate,

Don't feel bad. I unfortunately have experience with someone I rusted having goals and plans far different than my own.

It probably makes me overly cynical, but in dealing with the denizens of DC it has served me well.

It speaks well of you that you were seeing him as an ally, rather than a Benedict Arnold.

It's only us people with experience with evil who were able to spot it.

CH I don't know Krystal, but I have met him. He's always at Mi events. Paul Singer is the Big Dog at MI -- and as Clarice noted, his son is gay and that's his defining issue. He (I believe) spear headed the undermining of Cruz for that reason alone. Always suspected that he was the $ behind initial Fusion investigation; he hates Trump with a passion. What's interesting is that Mercer is making inroads in funding a bunch of conservative institutions---so that changes the Trump/Never Trump balance for a lot of these groups that depend on big funders for their existence.
