    If they did it wasn't included in dossier (you're free to prove otherwise), and thus irrelevant.

    Entire dossier was published by Buzzfeed, it isn't some secret material.

    And because Russia wasn't angle seriously pursued by Republicans, as far as we know, thus they couldn't have much. Unlike Clinton Campaign which quite liked this angle - and so Fusion GPS hired private investigator with Russian/Intelligence ties - Christopher Steele specifically to pursue that.

    Words have meaning. Learn them.
    Just a reminder... Trump was in Russia at the time, was in that hotel, was offered hookers, Russia does have cameras in those hotel rooms.

    What he calls a lie, is us not knowing what happened after the bodyguard left Trump’s room. But, the location, the offer, the timing, the contact and everything else outside that window of Trump being alone, what Steele said about the peepee tape has been confirmed. I believe Steele was even right on the room number...

    Do palm readers provide you with painstaking research? Or is this analogy purposely intended to be...shit?

    No, it's entirely unlike that. Companies that conduct research like oppo research have to provide their clients with credible, justifiable research, not just "what the client wants to hear". Making up bullshit means the client then uses that bullshit, publicly, and gets handed their asses by the opponent for using nonsense your research firm invented. That's a quick way to never, ever get hired again, by anyone.

    I have no idea how you people got this nonsense into your heads, because it doesn't even make internal sense. The only thing I can figure is that you're projecting your own personal biases, or something, because it certainly isn't based on logic or reason.

    You're free to prove none of the information was used.

    You haven't.

    You are assuming they focused on Russia because it was what Democrats like. I think the assumption being based on the contact and relationship Trump claimed to have with Putin, then hiring two people who have already been investigated for Russian contacts, while having no experience... is far more likely. Trump’s claims to a Tower in Russia, doesn’t help either... especially since he is still the CEO of Trump Organization, moonlighting as president...

    Edit: also a reminder to those hinging their bets on how ludicrous peepee tape seems. Until 2016, it was far more ludicrous to believe Trump would be president, than another embarrassing story on Trump... even if it involves peepee tapes.

    This is such a nonsensical angle of argument.

    Fusion GPS is a company that produces research for clients.

    They began producing opposition research for Republicans, on Trump. That client then stopped paying. They still had all that research. The Democrats then picked up the funding, and in a completely unrelated move, Fusion GPS also hired Steele and given his connections, put him in charge of that client's product.

    There is absolutely no reason Steele would have started over from scratch, rather than building off what Fusion GPS already had. Steele wasn't the guy the Democrats hired, Fusion GPS was. It's labelled the "Steele dossier" not because Steele is the guy who produced all of it, but because Steele was the one who had it at the time it became public knowledge, and which he was leaking to media and such.

    You are, yet again, flat-out making up bullshit you have no basis for, to ignore how any research firm would handle this kind of changeover.

    This whole "prove it was produced for Republicans" stuff is nonsense, since no part of the dossier is stamped as "Steele made this all by himself". He's just the guy who was in charge of that particular file while the Democrats were funding it. That's it.

    Do you know what the dossier is?

    Do you know that there is much more to it than the per tape?

    Do you know that individual parts have been vetted?

    Do you know that there’s absolutely no reason for the FBI to investigate the pee tape itself, but there are other parts that bear investigation?

    You haven't proven it's a lie.

    Basic comprehension eludes you yet again.

    I wish people like you would look things up before ignorantly commenting on something by literally making up whatever you think sounds good to feed your chamber. Companies doing opposition research have to not only come up with extremely reliable information, they have to be able to document it's proof.

    Can you figure out why that's so?

    My friend, I have my doubts. You have posted very partisan things. I hope that you can be more independent like me in the future.

    Cheers!

    I just got the memo. Apparently we're supposed to be putting the new cover sheets on all the TPS reports now.

    If this were remotely true, you wouldn't be so eager to try and hand-wave the facts contained in the Steele dossier.

    You declared something was a lie. Don't misdirect to "everything that was ever said". The dossier was specifically being discussed. You declared it contained lies.

    Prove it.

    So the pee tape could be true, you just can’t prove it.

    What is it with you and lying?
    Still my answering my other questions I see.

    I guess you’re too embarrassed to admit your ignorance, as usual.

    The level of cognitive dissonance Zenkai displays can only be born of sheer ignorance of the subjects he wishes to discuss. To claim "facts" and ppenly advocate nonsense is just...sad...to watch.

    Are you going to dance around that he wanted one negative thing about Trump wasn't true and that there are things in the dossier that isn't true? Ignoring this shows you are handwaving facts.
