I've listened to several reports that stated Steele met with Russian intelligence weeks prior to dossier being drafted in order to get the unsubstantiated BS


It's been largely substantiated, btw. Maybe not the pee tape (PLEASE BE REAL), but tons of it.

Yeah a former MI6 agent with maybe the most experience in Russia doesn't have contacts in Russian intelligence

Where else would he have gotten information from? Jesus... additionally what parts of the Dossier have been debunked? None that I can think of, but please feel free to hit me with some "report" from the daily caller, breitbart, or the federalist to convince me otherwise.

Nope. Doesn't apply. No monetary or other contributions of value were promised, offered or accepted.


So you wouldn't think that damaging information on Clinton given to Trump with the express purpose of winning the election constitutes a contribution of value?

Because, boy are you gonna be shocked when it hits you that you're wrong.

If it is shown that my dog is really an evil goblin sent to earth by satan to kill everyone, that will be enough for me to change my mind about my dog.

FYI - there's as much proof about the dog goblin thing as there is about the OP's "theory"

A meeting promising dirt


There was no dirt.

Okay, I'm satisfied. You've got nothing applicable to say. Thanks for the entertaining and enlightening exchange.

Again, does not matter. They took the meeting thinking there was, most likely with the intent to use it if they did get it. I've said it like 5 times but you choose to ignore that. Clearly lost in the ideology.

Isn’t the dossier actual proof of Clinton collusion with Russia?


It's proof that a private investigator (originally hired by Jeb Bush's campaign) colluded (i.e., interviewed) people who spent time in Russia and/or people with Russian contacts. It's not proof that Hilary Clinton or her campaign colluded with the Russian government to rig the election.

The law you cited is clearly referring to accepting monetary or financial assistance to a campaign from a foreign government.

Keep being desperate. It suits you. There's a lot more sky for you to scream at....

He's since admitted that he did go to Russia when the dossier says.

Do you?

You and your boyfriend are conflating a private citizen who once held a position in the Russian government as "an agent working on behalf of Russia".

She was such a Russian agent working on behalf of Russia that she couldn't produce ONE PIECE of dirt on Hillary that the Russian government supposedly had?

Things of value aren't limited to money. Sucks for you and Trump, I know, but them's the rules.

Breaking and entering is illegal. Having a meeting isn't.
