      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.

      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.

      Jack, you should also read this piece by Michael Weiss on the KGB's manual for recruiting spies:https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-kgb-papers-how-putin-learned-his-spycraft-part-1 …

      I'll gladly read it, thanks. Of course Mifsud could be a recruited spy; I don't discount the possibility. But questions regarding US IC/Mueller's actions and inactions re Mifsud suggest that either Mifsud isn't a Russian spy, or the US gov oddly hasn't addressed it.

      Golly. You mean the USG hasn't said HEY HERE ARE THE SENSITIVE SOURCES AND METHODS THAT PROVE MIFSUD IS A SPY!!!! Really. I'm shocked. Please don't be so dumb.

          I turn to your analysis for reasonable, critical thinking stuff. Something that people on the payroll of Mockingbird and its sequel can't provide. So it'll be really great if you could write a paragraph or two on Mifsud's many signs of being a British asset (or not).

          Marcy, can you help me, please? I get that Misfud is CIA, or maybe MI6. When's the Big Reveal that Putin "niece" Olga Polonskaya is NYPD and Ivan Timofeev is USDA?

          But if you have a guy who's been portrayed as Rushan spy, and he's buddies with Boris Johnson, Claire Smith (!?!), gets to train FBI personnel, participate in events full of British MI-something guys, and 'targets' Mr. P as does another more overt prof. Halper... so many signs...

          1) For the last year and half we've been told that 'We must get to the bottom of Russian interference'. There's been numerous indictments on Trump associates, but nothing on the guy they interviewed who supposedly knew about Clinton emails??

          2). Mifsud could presumably be the key to understand how the Russian government hacked Clinton emails. Yet, we have nothing about his involvement, aside from Papa testimony.

          3) As the article explains, there's nothing to suggest the USG is actually pursuing Mifsud, or how Mifsud learned about emails through Russian gov.
