Wouldn’t be surprised if Steele were on Putin’s payroll. I have to hand to them - the Russians have always been good at disinformation operations. This particular operation tied up an American president for 3 years, and the aftereffects are still reverberating through his first term in terms of approval numbers that are several % points lower than where they should be.

Trump should simply say that Putin ran an operation against him, and the Democrats colluded with Putin to smear him.

Furthermore, Mueller knew by the end of the first week that the entire Trump-Russia collusion scheme was a hoax, yet he continued to ‘investigate’ for two more years.

If one was looking for a single photograph depicting unethical, incompetent, self-congratulatory, and pathetic government office holders, that one would suffice.

For what it's worth:

AG Barr just signaled that things are about to get ugly for the Russia collusion team

Problem: NO ONE WAS PUNISHED.

I disagree. That doddering old fool was assigned a cubicle from the beginning where he could sit and eat his oatmeal and play Solitaire on his iPad.

Weissman ran this show.

It all goes back to Usurpation Day.

Obama should never have been sworn in.

He is not a natural born citizen.

That’s why nothing will be done about this.

Why would the Democrat leaders do this?

This was a very risky operation.

If it was exposed, it would look very bad for the Democrats.

So why do it?

Because they have done much worse things and don’t want them revealed.

Wow. Talk about using Russian disinformation to affect an election. Oh wait, wasn’t that supposed to be Trump doing that? Well, thanks for clearing that up, Deep State hacks (0bammer’s FBI and DOJ)...

Bullcrap. This is the FBI/Steele/CIA claiming they were “tricked”. Laughable. How did we learn this? Why, the intel community GAVE us the memo with the damning evidence...right? (Yeah, the same intel community that flips the finger to FOIA and subpoenas, and won’t even cooperat eith AG Barr suddenly, graciously, “complied”? I gotta bridge to sell you)

“See, we weren’t corrupt, running a coup, lying to secret courts and setting up Trump safe in knowing when Hillary won it would never see the light of day...see? We good-hearted public servants was tricked I say, tricked by Russians!! So see, now youse people can see that we was just loyal patriotic Americans, protecting America from Russians and we didn’t do nothing wrong! In fact, you should feel better that we was trying so hard to keep America safe... see?”

The whole damned thing was written by Steele right there. No sources, none. He was paid a handsome sum for it. You think he was spreading that money around to “sources”? That went into his pocket.

Don’t be naive people. This is US intel community disinformation. The way you can tell is;

1) that THEY released it.
2) It confirms Hillary’s claims of “Russia”.
3) And it reassures us that the FBI/CIA was not running an attack on the US government.

FAKE NEWS

Trump would be a blithering idiot to lie and say Putin ran an operation against him. Because that didn’t happen. He would be confirming the Hillary claim.
She would say she was also tricked.

This was a British/Aussie intel effort in cooperation with the CIA/FBI. This new BOOM is misdirection. This is the clean up operation.

BTW, why did Putin run this supposed “attack” on the Trump campaign? Trump wanted to get us out of Syria and to knock off support for Syrian jihadi rebels. Trump wasn’t particularly interested in Crimea or Ukraine. Trump ran repeatedly on wanting better relations with Russia and ending Obama’s hostility over homosexual issues. Trump was not a big fan of NATO and Flynn his advisor was on very good terms with Moscow.

And if he DID attack Trump, why did Putin then “hack” Hillary’s emails?

That obvious nonsense spawned the theory that they didn’t want favor with either candidate. They just wanted to make American’s distrust elections.

Utterly idiotic to claim such a childish goal form them. They wanted Trump like all sane people did, but they suspected Hillary would win. If they supported Trump and she found out, it would be a rough time. Shes a communist so she hates them passionately as apostate.

Those facts would lead them to just stay out of it and trying to navigate the world of hoping for Trump while realistically expecting Hillary.

All of this “Russia”came straight out of a DNC fever swamp focus group. They brainstormed “what conservatives hate” and tried to tar Trump with it.
Divorces, check. Porn stars and whores, check. Vulgar language, check. Mafia, check. Financial corruption check. And of course, conservatives HATE Russia so they tried to make him a Russian controlled man. (Of course, they are not deep enough to get that conservatives hated the USSR and are happy to see Russia building churches, fighting homosexuality, encouraging people to have babies, etc)

Democrat lunacy. The DNC, the US intel community and the 5 eyes are everything they are accusing Trump and Russians of.

The president would not have been tied up for 3 years if mentally disturbed people like Schiff, Nadler, Schumer & Pelosi had not orchestrated a massive web of hearings, laws, etc. expressedly designed to do that, evil pieces of excrement that they are. They are explicitly enemies of the United States and should be jailed for the rest of their miserable lives.
