Sounds just like the entire Steele dossier. Steele himself admitted that probably more than 50 percent of it was false. Yet you want to give him a medal.

So that means 50% is true (and a lot HAS been verified). That's still a lot of damning evidence.

Uhhh what? AT LEAST 50 percent is false which means that 50 percent is definitely true?

Oh good. Lets say Trump only lies 60 percent of the time he opens his mouth. Let’s all rejoice in the fact that 40 percent of what he says is true.

In this case, it only would have to be 10% true for there to be enough evidence to justify the investigation. It was ALL damning information in the dossier. If it's 40% true, then the 60% that was unverified doesn't invalidate the 40% that is true.

Steele never presented the dossier as anything other than a raw intelligence document. Spies aren't in the business of delivering evidence sufficient to prosecute people in the court of law beyond a reasonable doubt. That's not their job. That's not the standard they are trying to meet. Rumor is one of the currencies spies deal in. And there has never been any suggestion to the contrary on the part of Fusion GPS or Steele.

And Steele did not say that probably more than 50 percent was false. That was not what he said.

https://forum.obnoxiousbrutes.com/showt...6547541&page=3

And, I don't consider it a realistic possibility. With respect to some sort of SCOUTUS award I was using hyperbole to demonstrate a point. Steele deserves our praise and our thanks. The criticism and hostility directed towards Steele is completely unwarranted. And someone needs to take you guys by the shoulder and wake you up.

Haphazardly and immediately pulling troops out of Syria without consulting his advisors and the military is a warning sign that Trump might be on the take.

Removing Sanctions from Rusal, and letting Oleg Deripaska off the hook is a warning sign that Trump might be on the take.
To say that I don't value your opinion would be a extreme understatement
I don't need you to value my opinion, but everyone else does need you and ohiostate to tell the truth. It's your responsibility to do so, at all times. This is a basic civic duty as far as I'm concerned.

Odd that he would use hyperbole but was so against it when people say things like catapulting illegals over the border or shooting the invading migrants on site.

I'm not as well versed about the situation in Syria as some other people on here.

However I find it extremely interesting that as long as I've been alive (29 years) all I've heard from liberals/democrats is how we need to get out of the Middle East and bring our troops back home. It seems like the one thing that Liberals have been pretty consistent about for the past few decades. Now Trump suddenly does that and he is facing a backlash.
