re: #271 Sir John Barron

At least it is becoming clearer why Trumpbots have been bitching about the “dossier”—-apparently the Nunes memo will allege that the Clinton campaign funded the dossier and pitched to the Obama Administration’s FBI which used that information to get the OK to spy on people from the Trump campaign. They’re alleging of course that the whole Russia investigation was illegitimate at best, but manipulated by Obama/Clinton at worst. This is why the MAGAbots are making such a hullabaloo about it—all very Corrupt Deep State, blah blah blah.

All nonsense, considering Obama’s FBI came out a week before the election with the infamous letter “reopening” the Hillary email investigation. But there you have it.

Not only that, the FBI were investigating Carter Page before anyone had heard of the dossier. Page was, apparently, the target of Russian spies trying to cultivate American assets.

Also, it’s funny, because I’m old enough to remember when “conservatives” defended the FBI and were suspicious of Russia.
