Congrats, you've outdone yourself.

But it's obvious you didn't even bother to read what I linked to because it's just a helpful summary of a two part article from a "named source", but in this case, you don't even have to take the source's word for it since everything can be checked yourself through publicly available information. I've checked, and I can confirm that the info is solid. What about you?
The short version is that Just Security is a publication of the New York University Law School's Reiss Center which is packed from top to bottom with former Obama administration officials, so not exactly the most unbiased or credible bunch.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

5) How would it make any difference at all whether Pelosi heard this Intel as well as Trump? If that's true then I'll gladly call her out. Will you now call Trump out? Of course not.

I reject your premise that Obama officials are inherently untrustworthy. I tend to assume that any high government official is trustworthy and competent until proven otherwise.

If it really were a big deal and real, then she and congress is just as complicit in their neglect as Trump is.
If it isn't real and not a big deal then nobody should be called out on ignoring this and it is just another fake news story by the failing NYT.

Does it not trouble you that Trump asked Russia back into the G7 when there is even an outside chance that the bounties exist without even performing minimal followup?

WH has made it known Barr is on the hunt for the "leaker(s)" behind this story. Kind of hard to leak something false, isn't it?
Not to mention that if this information was really as widely disseminated as some are claiming it would be a virtual impossibility to even begin to narrow down the source of the leak(s). Hmm...Last edited by DivineOb; 07-07-2020, 01:19 PM.

And it's called pointing out that your arbitrary rule used to exclude data you don't like can similarly be arbitrarily used to exclude data you do like. That's why arbitrary rules are a bad idea.
