Can WaPo prove their story’s assertion or we just need to trust “anonymous sources”? Looks like service back to WaPo to prove their **** or STFU to me.

I love how she says it's so grossly inaccurate that it warrants no response yet: (1) she doesn't identify anything specific that's inaccurate, and (2) she responds to it at 8:00 on a Saturday during a government shutdown (hardly something you'd do for a story that warrants no response).

Yes to the extent that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what a wrongful/unlawful investigation is.

Am I okay with actual wrongful investigations that violate constitutional rights? No.

Am I okay with the police conducting investigations based on suspicion? Yes.

You’re essentially arguing that law enforcement can’t investigate anything unless they can already prove the crime, which is totally asinine.

I'm actually talking about the counterintelligence spying that was done using a FISA warrant and 3 extensions based on information contained in the Steele dossier.

I'm not ok with the federal government abusing their power to investigate political opponents.

How are you ignoring all of the information we already know regarding Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Andrew McCabe, John Carlin, Bruce Ohr, Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, James Baker, James Wolfe, etc, etc, etc?

The truth will eventually come out.

The 4th FISA application will be declassified.

I'm ready, but I doubt the liberals will even believe it - complete and total denial by everyone on the left.

I’m not sure we know the extent of what they’re after podesta for. Not being coy, jus a little tit for tat if you guys wanna lean on the “where there’s smoke there’s fire” argument.

If within the next few months he suicides by 5 gun shots to the back of the head after taking a bottle of pills we’ll have our answer.

Just for you @NorthDallas40.

Greg Miller, who authored today's story, also broke the story about Trump disclosing classified Intel to the Russians in 2017. Of course the WH lied through their teeth and denied it. I think it's widely accepted now that the WaPo got the story right.

What was the actual crime?

What did General Flynn do or attempt to do?

Also, why aren't any democrats/liberals prosecuted for FARA violations?

Michael Flynn violated the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA). This is a United States law passed in 1938 requiring that agents representing the interests of foreign powers in a "political or quasi-political capacity" disclose their relationship with the foreign government and information about related activities and finances. The purpose is to facilitate "evaluation by the government and the American people of the statements and activities of such persons." The law is administered by the Counterespionage Section of the National Security Division of the United States Department of Justice.

In March of 2017, Flynn admitted that he had lobbied on behalf of the Turkish government as recently as November 2016. Flynn's lawyer filed paperwork with the Justice Department in March 2017 disclosing that the retired General had done lobbying work between August and November of 2016 that "could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey". According to the filing, Flynn's company, Flynn Intel Group Inc., was paid at least $503,000 for the work. Flynn's contract ended on November 15, just three days before Trump appointed him National Security Adviser. It all started with a bizarre pro-Turkish op-ed piece that Flynn wrote in "The Hill" on November 8 that basically read like Turkish propaganda. In it, Flynn was critical of the Obama administration - and the US media, more broadly - for not being supportive enough of Turkey's autocratic leader, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. This was a pretty outrageous conflict of interest with his appointment as National Security Adviser being so imminent. It is compounded by him failing to register as a foreign agent.

No, based on limited info, we're trying to decide whose testimony to believe. You look at indicia of reliability. Miller has oodles of it; Sanders almost none. I googled "Greg Miller error" and didn't find any major reporting errors that he's been tagged with. Can you say the same about SS?

Nope! You’re still trying to sell this story by leaning on Miller’s credibility no?

Btw how is Ronan Farrow doing? 😂
