The Shaky Standing of Mueller’s Footnotes

https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/07/23/the_mueller_reports_footnotes_to_contradictory_119658.html

Who knew that the humble footnote would loom so large in some of the most consequential documents of our time? Those bottom-of-the-page annotations are supposed to impose rigor on authors by forcing them to cite justifications for what they assert. But in the age of collusion claims, footnotes have become so much more — places for officials to tuck away inconvenient information; discreet spaces in which to make dubious assertions; or fine print in which required disclosures can be hidden in plain sight.

It was in the footnotes, for example, where the FBI appears to have misled the FISA court in its application to spy on Carter Page – obscuring its reliance on opposition research, the Steele dossier, financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

I trolled your state senator today. Pretended I was a democrat and was mad about how bad Mueller did. I said it’s been three years and all you had proven was Trump wanted to fire Mueller but didn’t and Trump wanted to build a property in Russia but didn’t.
Impeachment polls at 11% and it lost 323 to 95 last week in the house
Is senator markey trying to help Trump win?

She said she’d pass on my concerns LOL
