      At some point you'll have to acknowledge @LeeSmithDC article on Mifsud.

      Can he or she rewrite it so it doesn't resemble a 5-year old's finger painting?

      You should read it and decide for yourself. You seemingly accept that Mifsud represented Russia's outreach to Trump campaign, but the evidence is sorely lacking.https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/05/26/the_maltese_phantom_of_russiagate_.html …

      I've made several attempts. Couldn't get beyond the child's finger painting. Is there a rational version?

          Are there any factual assertions you dispute in the article? Sounds like you're dismissing it without considering important facts and questions about Mifsud and Link Campus. The big question is why he hasn't been indicted yet? BTW I'll gladly read anything to the contrary.

          I'm working at a more basic level of expecting basic logic.

          Got it. I expect you'll need to revisit the facts and questions about Mifsud, at some point. Thanks for the convo.

          Maybe. Or maybe when some frothy Republicans can present some in coherent form I can consult that. This is not exclusive to Republicans. Dems have done plenty of this shit. But that is ... shit.

          I honestly would like to see your rebuttal to this article. I look forward to your analysis of Mifsud.

          I'm happy to rebut articles that like Chuck or Byron or whatever assert arguments in traditional form. I couldn't see it there. Again, maybe someone w/a basic grasp of logic should rewrite it?

          Your objection to the article's lack of "traditional form" aside, there are substantive questions you should address. Specifically, if Mifsud was employed by Link Campus, closely aligned with Western intelligence, why continue to send fbi agents there after July 2016?pic.twitter.com/b4tgE2SoV8

          Please don't stoop the piece's utter lack of logic. Please, please don't do that.
