Still you ignore the most important thing.
If any political opponent paid a foreign agent for dirt on trump, and then the obelama admin used that info to get fisa warrants, then this is a far bigger scandal than anything russia was accused of.
Nope. Paying a private foreign company for intelligence, political or otherwise, is common practice in campaigns and corporate practice. The CIA, NSA, FBI often uses foreign contractors for intelligence.
Colluding with a foreign GOVERNMENT is illegal.
you seem confused.
In other NEWS it looks like Trumps Data Firm was working with ASSANGE.
And because I know this is a special interest of yours..
They lied about what Cambridge Analytica was up to on FEC reports..
DRIP...DRIP..DRIP
Brad Parscale, the campaign’s digital director, told Rebecca Ballhaus of the Wall Street Journal that the “psychographic” firm’s invoices is “mislabeled” in the FEC filing but he didn't elaborate how or why.
The Trump campaign paid Cambridge Analytica millions for its work. A former Trump campaign staffer previously told The Daily Beast that the firm did very little actual work for the campaign.
...
But FEC data contradicted Glassner. According to the campaign’s own FEC filings, the Trump campaign paid Cambridge Analytica $5.9 million from July 29, 2016 – a week after Trump formally accepted the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in Cleveland – to December 12, 2016.
Cambridge Analytica is bankrolled by the Mercer Family, Bannon sat on the Board of Directors, Robert Mercer was Trumps bankroll during the election.
Strange they got paid AFTER he secured the nomination and AFTER he won the election?
Yet Trumps Head of Digital can't explain what for?
And admits the FEC filings are false descriptions?
DRIP ..>DRIP...DRIP
The head of Cambridge Analytica said he asked the WikiLeaks founder for help

All of it.
Can you decode your script for me?
What does " peolebpatbfor" mean and what does "we will we" mean.

Is there an implication or are you just quoting how the campaign spent money?
I believe the appropriate metaphor here involves a river of excrement and a Native American water vessel without any means of propulsion

Uh...

Huh...point made, I guess. Can't argue what I can't understand.
The FBI did not fund the dossier.
The former British spy who authored a controversial dossier on behalf of Donald Trump’s political opponents alleging ties between Trump and Russia reached an agreement with the FBI a few weeks before the election for the bureau to pay him to continue his work, according to several people familiar with the arrangement.
Ultimately, the FBI did not pay Steele. Communications between the bureau and the former spy were interrupted as Steele’s now-famous dossier became the subject of news stories, congressional inquiries and presidential denials, according to the people familiar with the arrangement, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
Steele was known for the quality of his past work and for the knowledge he had developed over nearly 20 years working on Russia-related issues for British intelligence. The Washington Post was not able to determine how much the FBI intended to pay Steele had their relationship remained intact.

I mean, ignoring the fact that the dossier is real...regardless of who paid for it...how do you know any FISA warrants were obtained using the dossier and not the mountains of evidence obtained independently by the CIA, NSA, FBI?

I have you a Star here because of the Steele dossier was used to get a FISA warrant, that is something worth noting. But I have yet to see any proof of this.

So do we care if the dossier report is true or are we just stopping at Hillary? Start and stop with Hillary only? Is that how this works? Turn the brain off to everything else?
