      Melanie Jean Retweeted Is this real life? 🍩

      No, @emptywheel. What Trump conspired with Putin on was espionage of an American citizen by a foreign government, not oppo from a Brit.https://twitter.com/sensen2011/status/923912448339595264 …

      Oh. So all the named FSB sources in the Steele dossier were made up? Do I need to explain this more slowly so you understand?

      I guess all comes down to what Kremlin wanted/did itself directly. Veselnitskaya affair might open door but not some smoking gun on its own.

      Yes. Going WAY back to cited post, my comment was in first reports on TT meeting Dems were calling something LESS than dossier collusion

      That quickly changed. But the reason I raised it was precisely bc of paying $$ to RU spies for info.

      Yeah it's just the stupidity of Trump Jr/Manafort/Kushner not insulating themselves that suggests it cd have gone further. But proof needed.

      That said, there's abs no problem imho w commissioning cos using foreign sources, even gov ones. Just nature of contracted intel work .

      Agree. Problem is in too loosely accusing others of chasing foreign sourced intel of collusion when you chased it too.

      Yep, foreign sourcing in itself shdn't be prob. Also I'm sure Kremlin has no problem w rumors of Trump influence either.

      Well, I'm not crazy about it in any case, but see why it happens. And the Dems REALLY should have built in more plausible deniability.

          Plausible deniability? They stole an election from us.

          How would they have done that though? They're still fairly far removed through a few levels (Fusion/Steele etc) afaik.

          They sabotaged the Democrats campaign for the benefit of Donald Trump. No sane person thinks they lack plausible deniability.
