    Personally its kind of why I have grown so... apathetic towards all the politics stuff. It seems like the truth is covered up in so much propaganda and lies and all this stuff I am not even sure if the “public” is even capable of figuring out what the truth is for most of the political “stuff”. What site, what investigator, what news source, isn't giving us their spin, their agenda’s, leaving out the parts they dont like?

    Any complex story, no reporter is going to have the full set of facts as it happens. Just have to ask yourself constantly: is this statement a fact? a lie? an opinion? a theory of the case that might or might not prove to be true?

    Yes but its so easy to go about researching things and find completely different stories on the same story. It tends to come down to confirmation bias, or imposing my own feelings into who Im going to believe. Which doesnt make it truth, it just makes it me creating the reality I want.

    Should be obvious from the above screed: his bias is that the intelligence agencies are always wrong, always lying, always working against the national interest.

    That makes him right some of the time (not all of the time) but it also makes him untrustworthy because he ignores or denies facts that don't fit his narrative.

    Indeed. This was but an in-house review meant to minimize another horrible stain on our "Intelligence Community".

    The crimes discovered were not part of the report as the criminals have been referred for prosecution, and the conspiracy is of phenomenal depth.

    That's why Durham and Barr have their criminal investigations going. :cheers:

    Imagine if you will some Republican DA editing an email to get a warrant on a Maxine Waters..the outrage here would be unbelievable.

    You'd be in jail if you lie to a traffic court judge...me too.

    Crooked people have been known to be unbiased, yet far less often.

    I haven't read the whole thing (but I do read his work from time to time). So let's just take the first line from the 3rd paragraph of the story you linked.

    "If you don’t consider FBI lying, concealment of evidence, and manipulation of documents in order to spy on a U.S. citizen in the middle of a presidential campaign to be a major scandal, what is?"

    First, it wasn't in the middle of the campaign. The first FISA warrant was issued just before the election, in October 2016, and the 3 renewals were all after the election. Second, Carter Page wasn't even part of the campaign at the time. So the words "in the middle of a presidential campaign" really don't belong in that sentence. They are put there to mislead the reader.

    [I'm not addressing the characterization of the FBI actions because I haven't read the IG's report so I don't know if Greenwald is or is not accurately describing what the IG found.]

    Wow another gotchya by Barfo. Middle...dude said middle.

    I knew that Glenn Greenwald was a liar. So what if CNN reported a couple of years ago that Carter Page had been subject to a Fisa warrant in 2013 or 14.

    Glenn Greenwald...liar.

    I can't quite understand your post. What does CNN have to do with Glen Greenwald? What does 2013 have to do with the 2016 election?

    Finally, 'middle' is not the main issue here. 'campaign' is the issue. If it had been you instead of Carter Page, it would have made just as much sense to say 'middle of the campaign'. Which is to say none. You weren't on the campaign, neither was he. There's no rule that the FBI has to stop working on all investigations during presidential campaigns, is there?

    Actually, there's no rule that campaigns are immune from investigation. The IG said that the investigations into various Trump people were properly predicated. And of the 4, Carter Page is the only one who didn't end up a felon.

    He only commented on the report's contents.

    The report fully confirms his comments.

    Read the report before embarrassing yourself with another garbage post.

    Provably false - just look at the very first sentence, where he is talking about the Mueller report, and about media coverage, rather than only the IG report.

    I'd take your word for it, but your word really isn't worth anything, since you post things that are false almost every single day.

    Ha ha.

    I was assuming that occasionally he doesn't post at all. Not sure if that's true but giving him the benefit of the doubt.
