Popadopoulos a main reason for the Russian probe?

Not likely...

It's been suggested by more illegal leaks by unknown sources to the NY Times (aka fake news) that the main reason for the Russian probe was not the Trump dossier, but rather a drunken rant from George Papadopoulos to an Australian diplomat in London.

If you believe the NY Times, I have some ocean side Florida property, a couple of bit-coins, and a bridge to sell you.

Factually speaking, this information would have been at best third hand information. It could not have factually been corroborated by the FBI before starting the probe, because they didn't speak to Papadopoulos till February of 2017.

The concept that the FBI would both...
  • Start a huge politically charged investigation based on third hand information
  • Not verify the original source of the information till approximately eight months after the investigation started 
... is nearly impossible to argue as plausible. That being said, it makes almost as much sense as anything else surrounding this probe. When it comes to the Russian Collusion story, the left has made the determination to engage in a willing suspension of disbelief as a matter of fundamental principle.

BTW: This all takes place at a time that the FBI and DOJ are still stonewalling Congress on providing the information used to justify the FICA warrants and justify the investigation.  If the FBI really wanted to show that it was a tip from the Australians, and not the Steele Dossier, well then they could hand that information over to Congress.

But they haven't. Why?

I have not been an advocate of firing Jeff Sessions, but ultimately he can make this call. If I was the President at this point, I would provide Sessions with the ultimatum. Find a way to produce the information to Congress or turn in your resignation.

Fake News is proof that your credibility is in the gutter.

You're delusional.

The timing of the information on this specific case is irrelevant and nothing more than your opinion.

The Russians were involved in the election. The Trump campaign ignored the warning signs and instead used their knowledge of the planned social media assault to their advantage.

Did Trump know the details or his involvement is still an open question.

The Russians were in collusion with the clinton campaign. It would've stayed a secret if she had won.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

What point?

You randomly spouted that the Times reported a falsehood because they are part of the giant conspiracy to destroy Trump.

The conversation was verified. The fact that it took place early in the campaign and implies that the collusion between the Russians and the campaign.

The ambassador isn't part of the get Trump conspiracy.

I cannot remember the last time Roger actually made an argument.

He simply makes ad hominen insults... and then tells us the same story over and over and over about how he thinks Trump is dangerous.

I guess that makes him feel as if he doesn't actually "need" to make an argument. He just needs to call people names.

C.H. Truth said...

Roger...

There is no verification of this story. The investigation has been going on for 18 months and nobody has heard of this.

As pointed out by the WSJ and others:

Kimberley Strassel@KimStrassel
Sure--when the NYT provides any proof (or names, or sources or anything other than anonymous assertion) for its claims.



So factually you are wrong Roger. I story without named sources is 100% unverified. The FBI has the opportunity to provide Congress with their reasons for their warrants and investigations. Which would actually be something that would be "VERIFIED". They refuse to do so.

Roger

Explain for us why the FBI would start an investigation because of something someone supposedly told another person...

and not even bother to interview the person who supposedly made the statements for the first eight months of the investigation?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

The Australian government released a confirmation of the meeting to the FBI. They refused to confirm or deny the details. May 2016..Note the date.
In July WikiLeaks released thousands of emails hacked from the DNC server.
The "coffee boy" was a "great guy" and Trump did pick him.

This is standard procedure for the White House, to attack and call a liar or incompetent anyone who provides negative information on the President. This is how lawyers work. Call them a liar or worse, pound on the table. You have bought in.

The FBI was shocked, and that spurred the investigation. Ten months after the drunken meeting, fired James Comey for refusing to stop the Russian investigation.


The rest of it is history.

Commonsense said...

So if they refuse to confirm or deny the details what exactly are they confirming?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Explain for us why the FBI would start an investigation because of something someone supposedly told another person...

Because of the type of information on the election! Our free and honest elections are a foundation of our Republic. The involvement of a hostile foreign government is more important as anything else. What is even worse, is that the campaign of one of the contenders may have been involved with the hostile foreign government.

How that you find irrelevant that a hostile foreign government's intervention and desire to elect a specific candidate is not important. Why aren't you distributed?

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

As to the delay in questioning him for months, I don't know. I'm not an expert on the investigation process, and neither are you.

C.H. Truth said...

Roger:

from the NY Times story:

In response to questions, Mr. Papadopoulos’s lawyers declined to provide a statement.

In a statement, the Australian Embassy in Washington declined to provide details about the meeting or confirm that it occurred.


So there is no confirmation from either source on this. It's 100% entirely based on anonymous sources... the time line simply doesn't add up... and the "timing" of the story is very suspect: hearing about it for the first time 18 months into an investigation, at exactly the time that the FBI is under fire to explain "why" they started the probe in the first place...

Either way Roger... even if the story is true. The argument is that third hand information was used to start an FBI counterintelligence investigation... which is probably a "worse" reason than the Dossier would be to have started an investigation. A completely unverified drunken statement was the reason? Really? You actually are willing to buy that?

Seems business insider is also connecting the dots....seems to me that the story is now gaining momentum in spite of CH wishing it would go away....LOL

The FBI decided to investigate whether President Trump's campaign colluded with Russia after early foreign-policy adviser George Papadopoulos told a top Australian diplomat that Russia had compromising information on Hillary Clinton, The New York Times reported.
Though there were several events that prompted the bureau to investigate the campaign, Papadopoulos' conversation with the diplomat was reportedly the one that led the bureau to formally launch its probe.
Newly obtained emails also show that Papadopoulos' reach and influence within the campaign was greater than previously known.
The FBI's investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow was not prompted by a dossier compiled by a former British spy, but by campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos boasting to a top Australian diplomat about Russia's dirt on then Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The Times also obtained new emails which show Papadopoulos' influence within the campaign and contacts with Russia-linked individuals was greater than previously known.
The bureau opened its Russia probe in July 2016. President Donald Trump and his allies have dismissed the investigation as a Democratic "witch hunt" spurred by the dossier, which was compiled by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, and alleges a number of explosive Trump-Russia ties.

wphamilton said...

There is no reason at all to doubt the story of Papadopoulos and the Australian Diplomat. It is consistent with his documented behavior, with that of other Trump campaign officials, and of course foolishly running off at the mouth starts at the very top. It's almost certainly accurate, and I have to question why any objective person would doubt it.

That said, it is not as significant as some people might think it to be. So he was bragging that the Russians had dirt. Maybe they had dirt in Lebanon as well, maybe Australia, who cares. It's not illegal, not even noteworthy for a slimeball political consultant type. That's what they do, they look for dirt anywhere they can find it. It wasn't what spurred the Investigation. Mulluer's dtractors might hope that it was something trivial like that, and they may even try to generate that impression, the easier to knock it down. But the cold hard fact is that Russian interference spurred the Investigation, and the unusual nature of Trump's campaign contacts with the Russians brought him into it.

whether or not a drunk American said something to a drunk Australian really isn't the issue one way or the other.

the question (and I think you answered it the same way I did) is whether such a conversation would actually be he catalyst for a full blown investigation into some sort of "collusion"... as is being suggested by the NY Times.

It seems ridiculously far-fetched.

You are full of shit.

If you aren't blinded to the truth by your desire to be right despite evidence to the contrary, you wouldn't have looked so stupid. I hesitated to use that, because I think you are intelligent. But it's the truth .

Collusion isn't far fetched because the evidence is irrefutable. In March the drunken conversation, very early in the campaign.

It would be seen as a big fucking deal. If you were an investigator, you would have been amazed at how the Russians were involved in our election, unless you are on Trumpism stage four mentality. Which is brutally apparent

It (seems) to be far-fetched.

There is no longer reason to doubt the FBI investigation into the Russian government intervention into the election.

That's all he's got because he flat out refuses to believe anything that is contrary to what the President says. Irrefutable evidence that the conversation about dirt on Clinton has been verified by the ambassador to Austria. It is a fact.

S h e is a h a c k


I had to write that in rrbenglish..


It was an opinion column in the Wall Street Journal.

I'm going to open some her columns and read more of the stuff that CH has rewritten and posted here.

President Trump is on the hunt for a 2018 issue—a strong follow-up to his tax-cut victory that will motivate voters and gain bipartisan support. Democrats are pushing for an infrastructure bill, inviting the president to spend with them. House GOP leaders are mulling entitlement reform—a noble goal, if unlikely in a midterm cycle.

Fortunately for the president, there’s a better idea out there that’s already a Trump theme. It’s also a sure winner with the public, so Republicans ought to be able to pressure Democrats to join.

Let 2018 be the year of civil-service reform—a root-and-branch overhaul of the government itself. Call it Operation Drain the Swamp.

–– ADVERTISEMENT ––


When Candidate Trump first referred to “the swamp,” he was talking about the bog of Beltway lobbyists and “establishment” politicians. But President Trump’s first year in office has revealed that the real swamp is the unchecked power of those who actually run Washington: the two million members of the federal bureaucracy. That civil-servant corps was turbocharged by the Obama administration’s rule-making binge, and it now has more power—and more media enablers—than ever. We live in an administrative state, run by a left-leaning, self-interested governing class that is actively hostile to any president with a deregulatory or reform agenda.

It’s Lois Lerner, the IRS official who used her powers to silence conservative nonprofits. It’s the “anonymous” officials who leak national-security secrets daily. It’s the General Services Administration officials who turned over Trump transition emails to Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the absence of a warrant. It’s the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s Leandra English, who tried to stage an agency coup. It’s the EPA’s “Scientific Integrity Official” who has taken it upon herself to investigate whether Scott Pruitt is fit to serve in the office to which he was duly appointed. It’s the thousands of staffers across the federal government who continue to pump out reports on global warming and banking regulations that undermine administration policy.

This is what we see here from a columnist, not a journalist, she's a hack.

Your non-attributed comments are from this hack.

The Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign hired the opposition-research firm Fusion GPS in April 2016 to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. Fusion in turn hired former U.K. spook Christopher Steele to assemble the (now largely discredited) dossier. That full dossier of allegations wasn’t made public until after the election, in January 2017. And the media and Democrats continue to peddle the line that it played no role during the election itself.

C.H. Truth said...

Are you stupid enough to believe that the Russian intervention into the Presidential election is meaningless?

You believe that this is my argument?

I have never argued that election intervention (by anyone) is not a problem.

But that's not really the focus, is it? The focus for the past 18 months has been to attempt (by any loose means possible) to show that Trump was somehow involved in it.

You really don't give a bigger shit about election interference. You are only interested in Trump.

You don't care that British agents were paid to talk to Russian government agents about Trump. You don't care that the FBI appears to have started an investigation into one of the candidates (during the election) and allowed periodic leaks of information to the public. You don't have any real interest in the fact that our FBI still refuses to provide Congress with the information they used to start an investigation into a Presidential Candidate and his team.


How would you feel if the 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate and team was put under FBI investigation in May of 2020, had members of the team put under FICA surveillance... all approved by the FBI and Trump DOJ. Then the FBI refused to turn over to Congress their reasons for instigating the investigation (even under subpoena)? Would't that appear to be a little bit fishy to you? Woudn't you question the legitimacy of the investigation, as well as whether or not there was an abuse of power?



No Roger... you are only interested in Trump. Moreover, you are even able to ignore the parts of your own stories that don't seem to fit your preconceived notions.

The reality (like it or not) is that the Papadopoulos story is based entirely on four anonymous sources that include former American and Foreign officials. The story doesn't even suggest that any of the sources are law enforcement, much less FBI or DOJ. Moreover, the fact that they are "former" officials suggests that they were Obama appointees (not rank and file members of the Government).

The NY Times attempted to verify this story with the sources, and got zero verification from anyone. They literally have no verification from the Papadopoulos camp, Australian officials, or from a single person from the FBI.

Yet you keep insistig that it's 100% verified. Which tends to make me believe that you literally take "EVERYTHING" you are told from the media and believe it... without "ANY" critical thinking what-so-ever.

You do realize that the statement that the "full dossier" was not released to the public until after the election... is actually an admission that "parts" of it were released prior to the election.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Let's put it this way. This election was influenced by a hostile foreign power. The Trump administration says that the Russians were not involved.

That is a lie. Yet you don't care when he lies. Again you are not bothered about it.

Why aren't you calling him out for anything?

C.H. Truth said...

Roger -

You continuously change the subject... and flat out lie.

I would have absolutely no problem (nor would any conservative) with an actual investigation into what happened with the 2016 election.

By all means, Mueller should be able to tell us what exactly happened. Show us evidence (not speculation) that it was the Russians. He has 17 people on staff, and that's his job.


But that's not what Mueller is doing, and it's not actually what you want him to be doing. You would much prefer that he investigate what Paul Manafort did in 2012, or what Mike Flynn did during the transition.

Your only interest is having Mueller try to find something (anything) to pin on Trump, or his associates. You couldn't care less if it's about the 2016 election, Russian hacking... or not.

At least someone like WP pretty much admits he doesn't care much about the election, and that he just wants Mueller to go after Trump and his family. WP openly admits he would be fine with process crimes against the Trump family, or having Mueller go after old Trump financial issues (to see if there is a crime) just to prove a point.


The fact that you pretend otherwise... makes you a liar.

You have no scruples, and would much prefer Mueller investigate anything "but" the election... as long as it goes after Trump and his family. Because, you are obsessed.

You brought up the dossier. You changed the topic as you tried distract attention from the meeting that spurred the investigation into the Russian/Trump collusion. You ducked again.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

You are lying about me again. If there is credible source, of course there should be an investigation into the dossier.

But you would end the Mueller investigation immediately.

Hypocrisy on steroids.

Almost as powerful as mine. Lol

commie said...

CH stated....
no problem (nor would any conservative) with an actual investigation into what happened with the 2016 election.

Isn't that exactly what comey was doing before he was fired and mueller was appointed to investigate? IOW's FBI/Mueller bad, Trump et al is as pure as snow????? Maybe Howdy Gowdy should be the guy in charge since he did such a spectacular job on Benghazi for 10 months....Funny how a republican appointed ex-director cannot meet muster in your biased world. The takeover is complete because you can no longer be rational about trump. And the reality is, what difference does the reason behind the investigation was the dossier or a loud mouths drunken boasting....The bottom line once again is mueller know and hasn't disclosed and you speculating something nefarious going on is just that....speculating and completely irrelevant to what will go on or happen. Chill, CH, roger and his opinion is just as valid as yours....Not that it matters, I think the popadop, drunken tirade helped and as WP said, there is no reason to doubt the veracity of the reporting.....

LOL.

CH triggered Roger again.

Beautiful.

LOL.

Don't you ever have an original thought to add instead of being an old haggish cheerleader??? Yeah, get me some of that....LOLOLOL Roger kicked CH's bigoted ass again....at least one of them admits shortfalls, something neither you or CH have ever done.....

C.H. Truth said...

The use of anonymous sources always bothered you when they are negative information on the President.

Roger... Several problems.

- The anonymous source stories have been wrong, over and over. When it comes to stories that are "smoking guns" it's been like Lucy pulling the ball on Charlie Brown. They always end up being a whiff. There still has not been any potential smoking gun stories that panned out, but many that ended up being retracted.
- This particular anonymous source story doesn't even suggest that the sources were even part of the FBI or had anything to do with the investigation. They call them "former officials, some of them foreign". There is little reason to believe that officials unrelated to the probe would have any real information on what prompted FICA warrants or an FBI investigation.
- anonymous sources are not "verified" sources, as you keep suggesting. In fact the story itself admits that they got no verification from any of the players (not the FBI, not the Mueller investigation, not the Austrialians, and not the Popadopoulos team. There was a time when the media would not have reported a story based on anonymous sources that could not otherwise be actually verified.

Why, Roger.. when so many of these stories turn out to be proven wrong, would anyone just take them at face value? Without the slightest bit of critical thinking.

oPie, so your vote was FOR Hillary .

So, your not the one whom The Russian Mind Meld . Ok, who do you know that it worked on?

Anonymous said...

Why, Roger believe in any story that might be "THE STORY"?

Because TRUMP WON.

C.H. Truth said...

To be clear here... whether or not two drunk people talked about Hillary dirt is sort of irrelevant. Even if such a conversation took place and even if such a conversation was relayed to the US Government, it still wouldn't prove what the NY Times is suggesting (that a drunken conversation was what "spurred" the investigation or was the catalyst for FICA warrants).

Do you seriously believe that a Judge would provide a warrant to wire tap a Presidential campaign based on unverified third hand information about a supposed conversation between two drunk people? Apparently both an investigation was started and FICA warrants were provided "prior" to the FBI even questioning the person in question?

I want you to really seriously consider how a Judge would possibly provide a secret wiretap based on such an unverified conversation? If you really feel that is how our government works, then you and I have a different idea of what our FBI should and should not be doing pertaining to Presidential Candidates and elections.

"then you and I have a different idea of what our FBI should and should not be doing pertaining to Presidential Candidates and elections."

Roger was calling for Comey' s head when he thought the FBI was screwing Hillary.

SO, there's that.

commie said...

And you sure didn't prove it did not happen... Only you can think your position is correct since you do nothing but project trump BS. The fact remains until proven otherwise, the times piece seems correct and logical in spite of you saying otherwise!!! Mueller knows and till he spills the beans, no one is right or wrong.....

commie said...

Roger was calling for Comey' s head when he thought the FBI was screwing Hillary.

Sure, in your little mind....LOL

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Opie they are just pissed off because the drunken conversation with a Trump hire as a campaign aide – Not Dossier – Sparked FBI Investigation.

I never wanted Comey to be fired.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

That's a complete lie.

"Time For Comey To Go"

https://coldheartedtruthlegacy.blogspot.com/2016/10/time-for-comey-to-go.html?m=1

Loretta said...

"defending the statement he made today, Comey might assert that he was attempting to clarify his prior Congressional testimony. But that elaboration on his testimony could legitimately have waited until the FBI completed its analysis of the new emails. He has been around long enough to understand that any new FBI statements regarding the email scandal during the final 11 days of the campaign had a high probability of improperly placing the Bureau into the political process.
Trashing the Justice and FBI rule books in the interest of "openness" is likely to put the FBI front and center in one of the most contentious presidential races in recent US history. J. Edgar Hoover loved to influence elections, but he had the good sense to keep quiet about it."

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

It was a copy/paste of a CNN piece. I didn't comment on the story. That was the title of the story.

I got criticized for that.

I didn't want him fired ever.

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

Your mind is worthless. You made an assumption. You are obsessed and need help because you are on drugs lol

"EmailGate Is Becoming Even More Ridiculous"

LOL

Loretta said...

"This is a search for a "penitent" email. They have NO idea whether there is any pertinent email, and given there are thousands of emails . Comey made a massive mistake."

LOL

Coldheartedtruth Teller said...

I didn't write a single word of the post.

If you want to go back and post the entire thread and show that as part of the discussion to prove your claim.

My memory is intact. I had several evaluations by psychiatrists after the transplant surgery.

Loretta said...

Another flashback...

"This is an expression of his deep anger at getting beat by a woman.

I think he's going to go completely over the top tonight. He's going to lose more states and cost the GOP the congress too. BTW, the newest polls show Clinton 6% over Trump in Arizona. Look out Texas will probably go if he loses it tonight.

Landslide."

C.H. Truth said...

The NY Times cannot keep their story straight:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/19/us/politics/carter-page-russia-trump.html


A few months back, the reason that the FBI decided to investigate Trump and Russia, was because of Carter Page and a visit he made. No mention of Populousness at that time.

Today the same NY Times insists that it wasn't Carter Page, but now it's Populousness and a drunken conversation. No mention of Carter Page today.

Loretta said...

"Trump isn't Saint Ronald of the Reagan.

He's a joke.

If your party had nominated a qualified candidate, you would be looking forward to a Republican being sworn in on January 20, 2017.

But you won't.

By 10:00 PM one week from today, I will be laughing at you."

"Comey Has To Go"

"The director of the FBI inserted the agency into the election. The letter nine days ago, was incorrect. The letter he released today, does not excuse his original letter. I don't know how it works, but he should not be retained as the director of the FBI.
