@dawsonsfield has an interesting thread.
None of this was really intended to get Trump, he was never going to win.
It was intended to give Hillary an excuse to fire Comey, Baker & any other honest people at FBI. Fire them for investigating both candidates, to hide it was firing them to end Clinton investigations.
Hillary's entire 2016 plan was to fool everyone into believing that the FBI was investigating Trump. After she lost, it became even more important to create that narrative to damage the FBI.
If you still believe the FBI was investigating Trump, Hillary's team is still winning!
In fairness, I'm about the only one in this thread that didn't beat up on James Comey. I found it impossible to believe he would willing carry water for the Clintons and the feud between he and DJT was just too contrived. I've taken grief for it, but James' tweets suggested he was still working toward the positive end. He's not tweeted since January and been off radar - seems curious.
It can be said now, I believe JC posted here in the thread sometime back under two names. He was a bit peeved at QOS relentless attacks on his pithy and obtuse comments during the storm of peachmints lead up. Again, for me many are gray hats not necessarily related to motivation but exposure of the darker parts. JC did a lot in his journey to bust open the FBI and the Clinton machine for all to see.

I'm getting a tad concerned about onehuman... not been on the site since lunchtime on the 5th.
In itself that wouldn't be unusual but we were in a convo elsewhere to do an interview on their Yig site and they haven't replied to messages there since around the same time.
I'd just sent them a video tutorial on the spreadsheet... and we were initially slated to do the interview on 5th but had not yet decided a reschedule date.

elementalgrove, he's been missing from this thread and telegram since 5th but his account accessed ATS upto 7th.
I'm told that all his posts on this thread were deleted from his wall?
I did watch the interview with a director of Ingersoll Lockwood on TheYig.com; which seemed harmless enough.
I'm afraid that's all I know.

I doubt my abilities will be so convincing on behalf of Columbus, who achieved great things and is worthy of being honored for them with a national holiday, but I must express what I know to be true. His incredible feats of exploration were due to individual qualities that Americans should find admirable, and once did in near unanimity. Holding historical figures to modern standards of morality is a method of antihistorical political control—much like the pseudohistory I grew up being taught in the Soviet Union.
Soviet history books portrayed these men as callow imperialists who exploited the natives the way their capitalist descendants exploited the proletariat. This also prepared me to hear the same tropes repeated by Western leftists today...
Their accomplishments should not blind us to their flaws, but neither should their flaws blind us to their achievements...
History is not a zero-sum game. We can honor indigenous people and all they represent—and all they lost—without erasing the greatest achievements of the Age of Discovery. I will be celebrating Columbus Day, and I hope you’ll join me.
