Wait, what? That Treehouse article claims that information collected through unauthorized surveillance was passed outside the government, organized into what is now called the Steele dossier, which was then used as the basis to secure legal FISA warrants. Does the author of this piece not comprehend the implications of this claim? Because if someone is going through the trouble to launder illegally gathered evidence then it would mean that the evidence wasn’t fabricated. If you are fabricating a narrative, why expend the effort and assume the additional risk necessary to make “evidence” admissible? Fabricators would hardly welcome the additional scrutiny of legal proceedings, they just want to advance a certain narrative at the most advantageous time. If your goal is electioneering then a trial years after the election is meaningless, and yet we are asked to believe that individuals accepted this additional risk with no reward?
The enthusiasm with which some of us are diving into this rabbit hole is alarming. If the Treehouse is correct, then the Steele dossier is not a work of fiction but rather laundered evidence, illegally obtained but accurate. Does anyone believe that to be the case?
Perhaps. But when pressed under oath to vouch for the information contained in the dossier, the Fusion GPS principal was ONLY able to confirm the fact that Papadoupolous went to Russia once. NOTHING more. If there were, he would have been eager to say so. And it would have been leaked months ago.
It’s hard to know how much info “007” Steele was fed by his ‘sources’. More to the point, how would he know it’s real? And how much did he extrapolate/conclude/assume?
Nope, It is like the Cohen tidbit in there. They looked to see who was where and when using 702(16)and (17) and made sh!t up. The problem with the Cohen fabrication is that it was a different Cohen. FusionGPS are smear merchants. Here is your red pill.
“This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.” - Morpheus, The Matrix
‘Red pill’ has become a popular phrase among cyberculture and signifies a free-thinking attitude, and a waking up from a “normal” life of sloth and ignorance. Red pills prefer the truth, no matter how gritty and painful it may be.
It’s only a rabbit hole because the criminals put in a bunch of trap doors. No, treehouse isn’t suggesting that the info gained through wiretapping is the heart of the dossier, surely you know that is not even remotely reasonable. Rather, it was the act of using the wiretapping to gain access to secure the FISA.
It would be difficult to understand the entire mess by just reading today’s blip on treehouse. There is so much information that lays it all out and takes an awful lot of time and interest to read it in it’s in all.
“illegally obtained but accurate”
Yes very accurate, however names were changed to protect the Clinton’s. Accuse your enemy of the things you do and all...
