This is incorrect. The dossier didn't launch the probe: Papadopoulos' foreknowledge that RUs would leak emails was. And lots else in Page's FISA app.https://twitter.com/markknoller/status/1021349074283507712 …

The foreknowledge that the FBI informant purposely planted in his head (Papadopolous) to get him to say it at the prearranged meeting with the Australian diplomat? Is that what you’re saying started it?

Forget about Halper. How about GP's 4/26/16 meeting with the Maltese Professor, Joseph Mifsud, who happened to run into him in Italy? What did he tell GP? Russian Dirt/emails? And then a week later the triggering meeting with Downing? Who did Mifsud work for? FBI perhaps?

You're asking me if I think you should invent entirely unsubstantiated claims about people whose behavior is far more easily explained by them doing their job just so you don't have to believe Russia helped your guy win?

Don't change the subject and shift to the whole Russia helped Trump narrative. Stick to the facts. Where is Joseph Mifsud? Who did he work for? Do you really believe a bar conversation with a guy that worked for Ben Carson's campaign a few months earlier launched all of this?

You mean the FISA order targeting the guy Trump fired for his embarrassing RU ties isn't abt RU's help for Trump?

Whew, you change the story so fast i'm struggling to keep up. So now you're saying Trump fired the guy that he hired to get Russian help? For what, because he supposedly did what he was hired to do? This is getting complex.

You're suggesting he didn't fire Page? And, for that matter, Manafort? Yeah, yeah he did. He fired two staffers for their embarrassing RU ties.
