word games oh boy
Nope, wake up boy. Your problem is that you out of it. Nothing in what I have written in this or any thread says that Trump did anything illegal. At least involving the election.
Wait? Have you watched any mainstream liberal media outlets the past year?
Who cares what they say. You challenged what I had said. I am not a liberal.
The Steele dossier led to the investigation, and therefore is the basis.
No one with any knowledge of the investigation believes that. Only a few of the dumbest members of our Congress try to claim that. Trey Gowdy, who I think is the most honest Senator in the swamp, was talking about this on TV, a few days ago and he admitted it.
Gowdy said,
"The dossier has nothing to do with the meeting at Trump Tower,” he said. “The dossier has nothing to do with an email sent by Cambridge Analytica. The dossier really has nothing to do with George Papadopoulos’ meeting in Great Britain. It also doesn't have anything to do with obstruction of justice.
So there is a Russia investigation without the dossier.”
Just so you don't get confused by words, here is the definition of "basis".
: the principal component of something.
: something on which something else is established.
You claimed concerning the Russian investigation- the whole basis of it rests on the
infamous Steele dossier. Though the Steele Dossier did play a part in the Russian investigation, more so to the Carter Page than the interference, the basis would have been the hacking of the DNC which started the investigation.
From the link I provided which you obviously did not read:
"The Steele criminal referral in essence asks the FBI to investigate a source with whom FBI officials collaborated, and whose evidence they used in a fashion that’s under congressional investigation.
I read it but it doesn't mean much. You have a "criminal referral" authored by 2 Republican Senators, Grassley and Graham, who are not even on the Intelligence Committee and not privy to all of the information gathered by that Committee. Diane Feinstein, the senior Democrat on the Committee refutes all of the Republicans allegations. One side against the other. The truth will eventually come out.
