  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What is that supposed to mean? Are you claiming that Boligno said "Truth is for chumps" or is that a hypothetical?
The article directly quotes him.

Did....did you not read even the OP?

I find it helpful when commenting on a subject where an report is the premise, it's best to actually read the report.

What's that a screenshot of? I don't feel like clicking on Yahoo links that lead to more Yahoo links hoping to get it to appear. Who's the eighth sub-source? Looks like not only the usual anonymous source, but apparently a sub-anonymous source.

I read it, but since there doesn't seem to be any actual record or solid evidence of him saying that, I was wondering if you were treating it as a hypothetical.

Why would I?
Are you assuming these Republicans would by lying in their reporting?


Or is this another case of "plausible deniability to the rescue"!!!!!

I'm not sure that Yahoo article has anything to offer other than hearsay.

It's a direct quote from a report.

Short of him saying it in freezing weather and you seeing the mist rise from his mouth and heard the words of him saying it, what exactly is your bar for "What you will accept" from a news article?
And, for consistencies sake: Do you hold this standard across the spectrum or ony when anythign Trump may be criticized?

There must have been a glitch. When I clicked on the "this report" link I got a Yahoo article. Now I'm getting a report.

It was the NYPost's article that had the report linked to it. I changed it the actual report to make it easier.

And the NYP seems to credit it back to SCRIBD.

And says "The report was written in the style of an official FBI intelligence assessment". Is it supposed to be from the FBIAA? Does it exist on any actual FBI website? I'm calling it codswallop until it's proven otherwise.

It is not a government document. It was prepared by current and former FBI staff.
Yeah I get that now. But not by the actual FBIAA right? For all I know it was prepared by a precocious 15 year old.

Do you think for a hot minute that Kash and Bongino would let such a report exist on the FBI website?

I think there doesn't seem to be any evidence that the report is authentic in any way.

You quoted the by-line in the image.
FBIAA stands for "Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents Association". Not "A National Alliance Of Retired And Active-Duty FBI Special Agents And Analysts, which would be ANAORAAFBISAAA. So the question is. is the ANAORAAFBISAAA actually a thing? Because it sounds made up to me.

Funny how they end up as supposedly mediocre and also supposedly strongmen who are putting fear into the democrats they're supposedly out to get.
Are you kidding? I have never feared a person who is truly strong. They know themselves and tend to be fair and generous. It is those who are weak who must bully, brutalize, and pretend to strength who are to be feared.

Strongman is used as a pejorative when referring to a political or military leader. Putin for example is often referred to as a being strongman.
