4petesake Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 10 hours ago, Smashian Kassian said: Hide contents Durham found that the FBI acted too hastily and relied on raw and unconfirmed intelligence when it opened the Trump-Russia investigation. He said at the time the probe was opened, the FBI had no information about any actual contact between Trump associates and Russian intelligence officials. He also claimed that FBI investigators fell prone to “confirmation bias,” repeatedly ignoring or rationalizing away information that could have undercut the premise of their investigation, and he noted that the FBI failed to corroborate a single substantive allegation from a dossier of research that it relied on during the course of the probe. “An objective and honest assessment of these strands of information should have caused the FBI to question not only the predication for Crossfire Hurricane, but also to reflect on whether the FBI was being manipulated for political or other purposes,” the report said, using the FBI’s code name for the Trump-Russia probe. “Unfortunately, it did not.” “Indeed, based on the evidence gathered in the multiple exhaustive and costly federal investigations of these matters, including the instant investigation, neither U.S. law enforcement nor the Intelligence Community appears to have possessed any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation,” Durham said in his report. Durham was the lapdog used by Bill Barr to try and clean Trump’s dirty laundry after his unhappiness over the Justice Department’s own IG’s report concluded that there was no political bias leading to the FBI’s investigation. Frank Figliuzzi, former assistant director of the FBI Counterintelligence Division - "Really, the most malignant interpretation of this report is Durham was tasked with doing something that was not only unnecessary to do because the [inspector general] had already done it, but tasked with doing whatever he could to destroy the origins of the Crossfire Hurricane original case ... If the goal was to wrack [sic] up many indictments and prove all of this "Russia, Russia, Russia" stuff, as Trump says, wrong, he's failed miserably. But if the goal, at least the consolation prize, was to hand over a politically tainted document that can be used in sound bites over and over again on Fox News and other platforms, already congressman Jim Jordan has publicly stated he's going to call Durham to testify in congress and I'll note as others have done, John Durham should be Exhibit A in the so-called "Weaponization of Government Subcommittee" because he was weaponized by Bill Barr and turned against the very institutions that he comes out of." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stawns Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 43 minutes ago, Bob Long said: No, I've seen it when my daughter went through the system. Certainly behavior while at school can be held in check but some folks just aren't born with the social tool kit. It's why they make great middle management, they aren't bothered by staffing issues. When was that? In the last 10 years, school systems in bc have worked hard and had good success minimizing it. Of course it still happens, but I think we're making good progress creating empathy and inclusion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 The funny thing is you see this everywhere. There's warnings on the Fraser River. What does the TV News show? Some dude with his 3 kids playing by and in the Fraser River. Yes, it's calm now, but there's going to be debris coming downstream. But hey he knows better than "experts" right? I've gone to parties by the Fraser River in the 90's. And people I know got sick taking a dip in the Fraser by Richmond. And that's without a flood warning.

Popular Post Sapper Posted August 7 Popular Post Share Posted August 7 (edited) Today team Trump has gone completely bat shit crazy .... Going after Walz and directly accusing him of stolen valour Stolen valour is the wearing of medals not earned, claiming involvement in combat when never deployed and wearing rank or using titles not achieved Walz was promoted conditionally to command Sergeant Major. Part of that process is the soldier gets the rank , wears the rank and is paid at that rank. Once promoted they have a requirement to attend and pass specialized training in order to maintain that rank Walz had already planned retirement and thus didn't attend that training. Although he could continue to serve in that rank pending taking the course... You can't retire in that rank if you haven't completed the course so on retirement he reverted back to his former rank What Vance is doing is a direct violation of military protocol and intentionally falsifying stolen valour claims from one soldier to another soldier is only seconded to cowardly desertion in battle Republicans much like our conservatives know zero boundaries or respect. Both use hate over all else and both have zero democratic principles left Vance should step down .... He won't ...... But much like bone spurs who attacked gold star families and POW's ..... Are a complete disgrace to every soldier who has ever served in the USA. The fact that people haven't turned on them and tossed them shows just how badly republicans and yes our conservatives.. have re written social behaviors and acceptable lies as just part of the job And for non service members the term Is accylacky ... Or acting / lacking It's common in the military to be promoted before completing courses based on your units needs and your capabilities. Does not change that they had been promoted and that other than the course had been deemed worthy of the rank And promotions are used very commonly to bribe people to not release .......

Some places in Montana are still expecting payment," he added, "Officials with Missoula County confirmed and sent NBC Montana the invoice showing $12,922.82 is still owed. That breaks down to $10,835.41 for officer salaries, $1,059.26 for dispatcher salaries, $693.72 for Office of Emergency Management and $334.43 for miscellaneous expenses."

If I was a mayor of a city tapped to host the grifter, I'd get an estimate for how much it would cost, then demand a 150%, up front deposit. Once the actual cost is determined, team TRUMP gets the invoice and any money left over from the deposit. After El Paso, there should be zero cities that don't demand some massive deposit prior to hosting any TRUMP events. This line of thinking was kinda poo pooed during the discussion after the attempt. I know, because I was one of the few who brought it up. Even posting an article from July of this year about Green Bay. Here's another article from July 8th of this year. https://kfoxtv.com/news/local/trumps-campaign-still-owes-el-paso-over-500k-for-2019-rally-other-cities-also-unpaid 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
