I'll start with an easy one.

In the Russia investigation where the FBI went to the FISA courts to get a warrant to spy on Carter Page, were the FISA judges informed that the Steele dossier (used as evidence to get the warrant) was unverified and was paid for by the Clinton campaign?

Would THIS be what you are referencing ??? Authored by an award winning investigative reporter...…..seems to me that MANY errors were made on BOTH sides……..jmo

I have ATTEMPTED to respond in a neutral mode....posting opposite sides to the story....YET
you guys just seem to talk over each other and ignore REAL conversation….go for it guys!

Sorry I missed that link Home. The Solomon piece was closer to the mark, but the question was not whether or not the dossier was the main evidence used to obtain the FISA although there has been testimony by Andrew McCabe, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr that it was. The question was were the FISA judges told it was unreliable as evidence. That is the question nobody will answer. I think Rick is asking because of all of the newly released transcripts of the Senate Committee testimonies that Senator Doug Collins has been letting fly. If you read through those, you'll get a real flavor of what the FBI investigation was really about. It certainly wasn't about foreign interference in elections....

That is a lie. You received three answers, you just didn't like them.

And here we see where the gotcha attempt was going. Apparently you don't understand the difference between someone being elected to office and being appointed to office. An accuser doesn't get to singlehandedly unelect someone, but does have the right to speak at the hearing for an appointment.

A rational person would consider whether or not anyone here was even capable of answering that question.

Due process doesn't distinguish between someone being elected and someone being appointed. Being destroyed by an accusation feels the same either way. If Fairfax was a Republican, (especially if he was white), he would be looking for another job by now in disgrace. Meanwhile two blackface racists and an accused sex abuser still have their jobs because the alternative is for Dems to lose power in the state.

That's not true. Governments have procedures for the removal of elected officials from office that are quite different from the removal of appointed officials.

Here's another I never get a coherent answer to...

We often hear the left proclaiming that this booming economy is all Obama's doing... it's the "Obama economy". If this is true, what policies did Obama put into place that really kicked in as soon as Obama left office and is continuing to grow the economy by 3% plus?

And if these policies he put into place are so great, which of these policies should the current field of Dem candidates adopt to continue this great economic progress?

Do we? I hadn't ever heard that. Do you have some links to back up this assertion?

So are you saying this isn't Obama's economy? Have you heard any news network or leftist talking head ever say that this IS Trump's economy now? Of course you haven't because they have been saying the opposite. I'm not going to hunt down every quote from every person of the left that has proclaimed that this economy is all Obama's doing.

Still waiting for someone to tell me what policies Obama put in place that would cause the economy to take off once Obama left office. Dead silence on that question.
