Hey Whell. The premise of your thread is fake news. It’s been debunked. It’s not real. Grow up, stop posting nonsense. Stay away from Limblow and Faux. They are lying to you. Fucking moron.

"What's remarkable about all of this is that Trump literally built this narrative from whole cloth. Over the past five days, he has purposely ignored a series of subsequent facts that undercut his conclusion and instead used his considerable platform to stoke entrenched paranoia within his base about the government and its allegedly ill intent toward his presidency."

You have a tendency to stoop to profanity, particularly when trying to make a very weak argument. Shows that, as usual, you've got nothing.

Nothing has been "debunked", no matter how much you wish that were true.

These are not my words. It was a direct quote from the article from the ever-insightful Chris Cilliza. And yes, it has been debunked. The guy was a confidential informant, not a spy, and he was not "imbedded" in the campaign.

You never seem to allow facts to get in the way of a good argument.

He also doesn't know what profanity is, although maybe he sees your quote as taking his Lord's name in vain.

So now you're down to borrowing the lying Clapper's words to describe Halper's role? That's hilarious!

Try this:

Stefan Halper has been identified by multiple media outlets as the source tasked by the FBI with collecting information about the Russian connections of Trump campaign officials Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

So, under the direction of the FBI, Halper was asked to make contact with folks inside the Trump campaign. He has been paid in the past by the FBI for "research" and may have been paid for his latest services.

I really don't give a crap what spin you and Clapper wish to use to give a name to the services Halper provided. The fact of the matter is that the FBI sent someone in to Trump's campaign to make contact with two or more individuals. And, there's work circulating that there may have been a person or persons besides Halper. The FBI is now stuck re-characterizing when their "investigation" started as a result of this revelation. Its at the very least damned odd, and at the most agents of the gov't interfering in the 2016 election.

What do you imagine will have changed, to make this a possibility?

Donny’s FBI Spy Theory Is Completely Insane

He’s targeting morons like Whell to help him stay in power, as the Russia scandal closes in on him.

Donny is a master at The Art of the Con. It’s sad to watch as so many gullible idiots are being conned by this guy. You want to scream at them, “why can’t you see you’re being manipulated?” The deeper they get into the Con, the more supportive they become. Donny has already led them to Jonestown. They will happily drink the Kool-Aid.

He has them believing that they're in on the secret.

So who is going to be investigating the Justice Department?
It's about time that the FBI leaks some serious stuff that they have on hand to push back, or perhaps someone within the Trump administration. Or there will be no independent Judiciary.
