Our entire intelligence community and the special prosecutor investigation results being unanimous in their conclusions is proof enough for me. Sorry, I don't share your cultish standards. So you can take your own advice and STFU, crybaby.
Those who rigged your elections were accusing Russia in rigging your elections. Wonderful. BTW, Mueller report was delivered after all those accusations and denied everything you mentioned.
Cry, baby, cry...
Why didn't Mueller investigate the actual Russian interference in 2016? That was when Hillary and the DNC hired FusionGPS to hire a foreign agent, Steele, to hire Russians to make-up dirt on Trump, via the "Steele Dossier", that the FBI then used to spy on the Trump campaign by falsifying evidence to create illegal FISA applications? Then the FBI accuses Trump of colluding with Russia and launches an investigation!! Then when Trump fires Comey, he leaks to the NYT to ensure that the DOJ hires a special prosecutor. You can't make this shit up.
Stephen Cohen: falsified âSteele dossierâ . No document played a more consequential and woeful role in the entire Russiagate saga. Indeed, the dossier was the charter document
in false allegations against both Putin and Trump. (Trumpâs ardent supporter Sean Hannity persists in characterizing the dossier as â
a pack of Russian lies,â even though
there is no evidence or logic to support Steeleâs claim that his âinformationâ came from Kremlin sources.)
They have misrepresented present-day Russia as a âthreatâ so ominous that it âattacked American democracyâ during the 2016 presidential election. And they have vilified both Trump and Putin to the extent that neither is regarded by much of the US political-media establishment as a legitimate diplomatic partner, even in the event of an existential crisis such as the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.
Will the Mueller Report Make the New Cold War Even Worse?
Stephen Cohen: Amid this daily frenzy, itâs often forgotten that Russiagateâs â
core narrative,â as one of its most devout and prominent
promoters terms it, was inspired by, and continues to be based on, two documents, both published in January 2017: an â
Intelligence Community Assessmentâ and the anti-Trump
âdossierâ compiled by a retired UK intelligence officer, Christopher Steele. The âcore narrativeâ of both was, of course, that Putinâs Kremlin had intervened in the 2016 presidential electionâessentially an â
attack on Americaââin order to damage Hillary Clintonâs candidacy and abet Trumpâs. At the time, a few critics questioned the authenticity of the ICA and the dossier, but for political and media Russiagaters, they instantly became, and have remained, canons, despite their deficit of facts and logic. Reread today, in light of what is now known, they are examples of the adage â
rubbish in, rubbish out.â
We might interpret this apparently sensational revelation in one of two ways. If true, it meant the CIA had a human or technical mole in Putinâs Kremlin office. If so, leaking the existence of such a priceless intelligence â
assetâ would have been a grave national-security crime demanding an intense search for the culprit and severe criminal punishment. So far as is known, there was neither. Or the
Post or its Intel leaker just made it up. Given the vacuous nature of the ICA and its authorsâ disclaimer of having proof or facts, the latter may be more likely.
Russiagateâs âcore narrativeâ has always lacked actual evidence - Stephen Cohen
Dimitri Simes on a Russian political TV show âThe Great Gameâ: The second adversary of the President Trump is Christopher Steele who put together the famous dossier. Many believe that heâs a former UK intelligence officer, he headed the investigation of a Litvinenko case
. Christopher Steele prepared his Trump dossier without coming to Moscow even once. He said he had his own sources. Itâs becoming increasingly clear now that these
sources were provided by the people weâve just mentioned: originally they came from Russia and now
settled in Ukraine, UK, London and USA. So, this attack on Donald Trump was if not directly inspired by London but London at least directly participated in it.
