The Steele Dossier Considered Post-Mueller

General Discussion
#24

Watched this week’s Bill Maher Show with two conservative guests - Charlie Sykes The Bulwark and George Will (formerly a Republican, and now Independent, and formerly of he WSJ, now commentator for NBC/MSNBC - George Will’s profile)

In the first part of the show, Charlie Sykes talks about the bully nature of politics - Pushing for dominance by driving out the other guy, and not compromising in the least. He condemns Conservatives for their “Performative Wokeness” which is the act of driving your idea, humiliating ‘other’ and keeping a monotone culture at any cost.

Sykes dislikes the Democratic ‘do nothingism’ which is that they should go for the Impeachment. NOW. The criticism on Dems is they get wrapped into the supporting the aggrieved, taking care of victims, siding with elites/Hollywood and have gotten more spineless. These characteristics are what drive conservatives mad. (go figure?)

George Will who left the Republican party in 2017 after a lifetime of being one, believes the Democrats are supremely weak. He carries a list of all their ‘dumb’ ideas.

George’s Dumb Democratic ideas List
Ending Private Insurance
Eliminate Electoral College (not feasible)
Give terrorists the vote (prisoners?)

Will says it was only 402 counties that voted in Obama in 2012, and the same 402 counties that voted in T in 2016.

Bill Maher hates the weak liberals, the Religious Right but hates T even more, and condemns his victim status.

Here’s the Overtime section of Bill Maher’s show with George Will and Charlie Sykes answering questions, along with Martin Short, Eliot Spitzer and Bari Weiss. More sparring.

Yup. Lawfare’s great, but they count as “center-left” and thus are avoided like the plague by Trump devotees.

Exactly. It’s a narrative.

What I don’t understand is how it could be an attempted coup that also exonerates Trump? The Mueller Report explicitly says it does not exonerate the President. And it also states the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation began July 2016, way before the election. How can it be a coup if Trump wasn’t even elected yet?

Best free and easy to read timeline of the entire investigation :point_down: bookmark this one kids :bookmark::open_book:

I guess it’s “Saved in the nick of time by William Barr.” They have focused 120% on his 4 page memo, as they steadfastly refuse to read the Mueller Report (thanks for posting it) or even the two nine or so page summaries of parts I and II. Trump has declared victory, as bizarre as that sounds to anyone reading anything but Trump’s tweets and watching FOX, and now he wants to bring the traitors to justice.

I have searched and searched for any section-by-section analysis of the Report in any but the center-left and left media, and there just aren’t any. It’s Mueller Report Nullification.

Although all of the fact checking sites have established that the investigation began with the blabby Papadopoulous in July, '16–the same month Steele BEGAN working for HRC’s campaign (and just after 5 foreign intelligence agencies notified the FBI that there was footsie being played between Russians and Team Trump), it is now dogma on the right that it was 1) Obama ordering a politically-motivated campaign against Trump, 2) HRC hiring Steele to write the fictional account about Trump; 3) “spying” on the Trump campaign, using the fictional Steele Dossier to obtain FISA warrant or warrants.

That’s why its important to note that someone writing the Steele Report as fiction would have to have had the gift of pre-cognition, since it mostly has been borne out to be true, or likely true.
