those drive-by flamethrower attacks that are obviously a big problem in your neighborhood.
The most serious crime in my neighborhood is someone throwing a cigarette butt on the ground or parking in a handicapped zone. I'm serious. There's zero crime in my neighborhood.
Did you really just respond "Nuh uh!" to evidence that was vetted through the House Intelligence Committee (and later the FBI) because it disagrees with you?
It's not evidence, it's Devin Nunes spin. It wasn't a quote, it was a statement by Devin Nunes about what someone else said (which has been refuted by the person who said it, as well as other members of the Intelligence Committee). Otherwise, it would have been in the memo as a quote, or as part of a transcript. But they won't release a transcript (even a redacted one) for some reason. Likely, because the transcript would not show what Devin Nunes says he heard. McCabe was under oath, so it should not be difficult to prove one way or the other.
I know you were told that this memo was going to put Obama and Hillary and Mueller and Comey and the DNC and Antifa and Oprah all behind bars, but even such a partisan document turned out to be a total dud. You were sold sheep dip as brilliantine. A hail mary pass that was fumbled during the snap.
At least you're finally making it to the step of admitting that your trolling in favor of illegal wiretaps and literal traitors to our democracy like the Clintons is bad. I suppose that's progress.
Wow, dude. I'm trying to think about Brandi Love over here and you're trying to cock-block me. What's wrong with you?
I know you expected more out of "the memo", but don't take it out on me.
No. If you ware investigated by the FBI and they don't have evidence to bring charges, they do not write you a note saying, "He's exonerated, signed, the FBI".
And in this case, not only didn't they exonerate Carter Page, but they presented further evidence to continue the FISA warrant, which the federal judges (all appointed by a Republican, by the way) looked at and said, "Yep, you keep watching this guy. There's sufficient probably cause."
By the way, here is an unretouched, actual photo of Carter Page so everybody knows who we're talking about.
It's called the Greater Fool Theory [wikipedia.org], you idiot.:P
I like "Bigger Idiot Theory" better, thank you very much. Because it can be expressed as, "B.I.T", as in BITcoin. I can't believe nobody picked up on that. I'm too subtle for this world, I guess.
Andrew McCabe confirmed that no FISA warrant would have been sought from the FISA Court without the Steele dossier information.
Not quite. Devin Nunes SAYS Andrew McCabe confirmed that. In a document that the FBI director (appointed by Trump) and the Justice Department (run by someone appointed by Trump) say is inaccurate.
And the FBI exonerated him at the time because there was no evidence he knew that the person he was talking to was a Russian agent.
The FBI doesn't "exonerate" anyone. They either bring evidence to a prosecutor or they say there's not enough evidence to bring charges...yet. In this case, they had a court renew the FISA warrant and kept an eye on Carter Page.
I'd love to see some of those FISC requests. I bet there's more nutty stuff than just this completely unbelievable dossier. I mean, has anyone read any of it?
Yes, it's been reviewed by a panel of federal judges, all of whom were appointed by a Republican.
why is it that a questionable document with little to no verification was used as the sole basis?
It wasn't. The Carter Page FISA warrant was approved before the dossier existed. And it's not really a "questionable document", since everything in it has been proven now, except for the pee tape.
I think what he's trying to say is that the FISA warrant for surveillance on Carter Page happened before there was ever a Steele dossier. That means there was already probably cause for a warrant before the dossier.
Bigger and faster. You've got guys over 300 lbs in the NFL who can run a 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds. Jadeveon Clowney goes about 270 lbs and can run it in 4.5. Someone like that hits you at speed and something's gotta give. It's just physics.

Nothing matters any more. Welcome to 2018.
Welcome to 2018. The budget for clowns and balloons has been cut so we can pay for tax cuts and The Wall.
Oh goody. I like validation.

Flamethrowers don't kill. People do.
OK, try this on:

Dude, everyone has disputed the fact on this. The FBI, the DOJ and the minority on the Intelligence Committee all said it was an inaccurate document.
They've been doing exactly that all day long.
They did, and in writing, but Chairman Nunes refused to allow the Democratic members of the Intel Committee to release their memo.
You should know all these things already. Where are you getting your news from?
It's not evidence, it's Devin Nunes spin. It wasn't a quote, it was a statement by Devin Nunes about what someone else said (which has been refuted by the person who said it, as well as other members of the Intelligence Committee).

Now this is what Slashdot was meant to be: Friday threads about porn stars.

And here is a photo of Carter Page "giving a speech" in Moscow, in 2016.

She's an award-winning actress. Let's just leave it at that.
And it's best that you don't Google her, because then you'd not only be at work, but you'd be hard at work.
Yes, Slashdotters who misbehave should be spanked by Brandi Love dressed as a school marm.
I've been bad, so I'll go first.
Finally, somebody gets it.

Here are some undisputed facts about the Russia probe that did not come from the Steele dossier

When the underlying information is released, then yes. But until then, this is just a spin press release, it's not a dissemination of information.

8000 is also "about" 10,000. So will you give me 10,000 for my 8000 bitcoin? Since we're talking about bitcoin and not accounting.
I believe "bigger idiot" is more apropos in this context.
