@aidnmclaughlin Ossoff has an actual record to run on. All Republicans have is the fact that they are destroying it all because their leader hated Biden and ended all of his policies out of spite. #georgia

English

“I’m not feeling bullish about it,” said one Republican strategist. “[Ossoff] has wisely avoided the temptation of going on cable news for six years and playing to the base for social media likes. ... I think he’s going to reap the benefits of that.”

@aidnmclaughlin Ossoff is an awesome politician. Georgia may have the best duo in the US senate.

@JV_PITT @cabsav456 One other thing, the Steele dossier was always meant for public consumption.
He was paid by Hillary.
The problem was obama, FBI and the CIA were helping Hillary. That’s the big problem JUD.
English

@RustyAbbe @cabsav456 No. She wasn’t. All the intel from the Steele Dossier(and before) was raw intel. Basically rumor and innuendo which is why it was never meant for public consumption
English

Crossfire Hurricane opened July 31, 2016, based solely on the tip from Australian officials about George Papadopoulos claiming Russia had "dirt" on Hillary Clinton.
The FBI didn't receive the Steele reports until weeks later. The Crossfire Hurricane team got them Sept 19, 2016.
This doesn't deny the probe had serious flaws. It did. Especially the Carter Page FISA warrant applications, where the dossier played a central role and the IG identified 17 major errors/omissions.
But saying the probe "in large part depended" on the dossier is inaccurate per the IG report (direct quote: "Steele's reports played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening").
Your argument conflates that with the entire FBI investigation being based on the dossier, which it 100% wasn't.
You then take it even further to claim that Mueller's probe (which continued the existing investigation after Comey's firing) was therefore built on false pretenses. This is flawed logic.
The mix-up seems to be conflating the dossier's problematic use in the specific Page FISA warrants with the probe's overall origins/scope. This was obviously done on purpose by influencers and Trump, but the facts prove otherwise.
And again, Russian interference was real & sweeping. Mueller, Senate Intel, IC assessments all confirm it (not debatable). Mueller wasn't predicated on the dossier or false pretenses. It stemmed from the Papadopoulos tip & expanded from there.

@cabsav456 I'll spell it out for you in simple terms. The Mueller investigation followed directly from Crossfire Hurricane, which in large part depended on the Steele dossier. When you say the Mueller investigation had nothing to do with the Steele Dossier it is just a lie.
English

1) The dossier was used by the FBI for the FISA warrants on Page
2) It was also used by the CIA to help bolster the Jan 2017 ICA’s claim that Putin preferred Trump and wanted to help him win
3) It was also used by Comey & McCabe/Strzok in March 2017 to justify the continuation of Crossfire Hurricane to the Gang of Eight and DOJ
4) It was also used by the FBI in Feb 2018 to justify the continuation of the Mueller investigation to the SSCI
So no, not remotely a “red herring”

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS Without immigrants, you wouldn’t have the manpower for boots on the ground — that’s the consequence of American policies.
English

REPORTER: Whose idea was it to put ICE agents in the airports?
@POTUS: "Mine... you know the story of the paper clip? 182 years ago, a man discovered the paper clip. It was so simple, and everybody that looked at it said, 'Why didn't I think of that?' ICE was my idea."
English

@blurrrgh @JV_PITT @cabsav456 it probably was a set up...she is now pretty high up in the government.
I can't imagine any candidate turning down dirt on their opposition. They would have done it more discretely.
English

@JV_PITT @RustyAbbe @cabsav456 Veselnitskaya was not a “Russian asset” insofar as being a representative of the Russian government
The meeting was likely a setup anyway
English

@JV_PITT @cabsav456 they were looking for a reason to open crossfire hurricane. So they lured a kid to London. Notice they wouldn't do that in the US because the CIA can't do that here.
Notice they did the same to Flynn. again CIA
Steele, London again CIA
English

@RustyAbbe @cabsav456 And again, raw intel that had NOTHING to do with the start of the investigation.
English

@JV_PITT @blurrrgh @cabsav456 30 convictions for process crimes to make people roll over. None of any significance.
English

@blurrrgh @RustyAbbe @cabsav456 And? None of it matters as the Dossier just wasn’t the impetus for the opening of the investigation. Hurricane Fire was actually very successful in it netted over 30 convictions
English

@blurrrgh @RustyAbbe @cabsav456 And again, Trump literally admitted that his sons took the meetings WITH RUSSAIN ASSTETS. Shirted Columbo episode ever.
English

@JV_PITT @cabsav456 @grok You didn’t know the Steele dossier was written by a Russian living in the US.
The “fisa were legal”means nothing. They were obtained to get dirt.
English

@RustyAbbe @cabsav456 @grok Steele Dossier is a red herring my, dude. The only FISA that they obtained with the intel that was bad was Carters. But Durhams last (of like 4) investigations stated that despite some irregularities all the fisa warrant were legally obtained
English

@JV_PITT @cabsav456 lol it was from a Russian living in the US. Danchenko. They all knew it was bullshit. Sooo, The FBI put him as a confidential informant so that no one could interview him.
