I specifically covered it. Clinesmith was prosecuted.

Presenting intel reports based on subjectivity and opinion isn't "lying" to a court. It's just not. Opinions can't lie.

I never claimed it was "able to establish objective facts". That's the flaw in your argument.

I literally already clarified that. In terms of intelligence standards, it was established (see the memo Tulsi released, specifically the part I posted).

So when Tulsi says the information they had was not released during the 2016 election, because the intel says that, she's lying? But Durham was telling the truth?

Everything she has released has proven Durham didn't do jack schit and his investigation should have found it.

The fact Adam Schiff hasn't been removed from Congress is mind blowing.

I'll accept your MAGA red meat as gospel, and still state, convictions will be unlikely if not impossible. That's the point I keep making.


You framed this as a matter of “opinion,” but conveniently ignored the suppression, omission, and altered evidence propping up that narrative. Now you mock anyone who calls out the corruption and celebrate that no one will be convicted, like that somehow proves innocence.

You throw around “MAGA red meat” like a gotcha, but you’re cut from the same cloth. You beat the “Russia collusion” and “dossier” drum for years, took lies as fact, and now run for cover when the truth shows up.

And here you are, playing the all-knowing lawyer on this site until the facts get uncomfortable, and tribal loyalty wins out. Keep dying on that hill to defend your corrupt system. Just don’t pretend it’s about truth or justice.

"prosecuted". Clinesmith is a perfect example of the frickery surrounding all of this

As my initial post pointed out, he understood what the memo Tulsi released just said, and acted accordingly.

Opinion guides the final product, and I explained this.

I never said they were innocent. Why lie?

Uh..objectively incorrect. Why lie? Or are you just projecting ignorance?

I always was critical of Russiagate and dismissed the reports about Trump and Putin.

Oh, so Durham knew the intel was garbage, understood what Tulsi’s memo confirmed, and still ran with it and your takeaway is “he acted accordingly”? Got it. Nothing says integrity like knowingly advancing false intel because it fits the narrative. Really inspiring stuff.

And let’s be clear, what you’re defending is a blueprint. By your logic, Trump and Team, after his second term, can suppress, omit, and falsify intel on the next administration, and you’ll be cool with it. Because, it’s there “opinion” as long as he understands the intel, and acts “accordingly,” we’re good, right? Just wow

No. That strawman is not what I posted.

I wasn't cool with Russiagate. Why would I be cool with that?

Oh, now it’s “opinion guides the final product”? Cute pivot. When it was convenient, you framed it as a neutral process, now you’re defending the result as subjective judgment. And still ignoring the core issue: that opinion was built on altered intel and suppressed facts. That’s not “analysis.” That’s propaganda.

quote:

I never said they were innocent. Why lie?


And saying “I never claimed they were innocent” is such a weak dodge. You mock anyone demanding accountability, cheer that there won’t be convictions, and pretend that’s some noble stance. It’s not. It’s moral cowardice dressed up as legal nuance.

You posture like you’re above it all, but your whole act is just partisan absolution with a thesaurus. You’re not analyzing corruption, you’re laundering it.

Ah yes, the classic retreat: “That’s not what I said,” “I’m not defending anything,” and “I wasn’t cool with Russiagate.” You’re running from your own logic like it’s radioactive.

It's a truthful assessment, in this case.

I'm not. Where am I defending anything done?

“I wasn’t cool with Russiagate.

Factual statement with 9-ish years of unflinching support.

Where did I say anything close to "correct"?

Not prosecutable =/= correct.

Ah, the classic slowfanni shuffle: defend the behavior, justify the outcome, spin it as reasonable then pretend you never called it “correct.” But let’s be real, you spent half this thread defending Obama, Brennan, and Clapper’s “opinion” which just happened to contradict the intel while conveniently ignoring the suppression, omission, and manipulation that was used to prop it up.

You don’t have to say “this is correct” when your entire posture screams it. You’ve excused every abuse of power as long as it came wrapped in the right tribal label.

You’re not arguing in good faith you’re just trying to sound smart while defending a lie.

And the only thing slower than your logic… is the walkback when your own words corner you.
