This is thread about the Durham investigation, not about an information campaign about the Russia investigation (not hoax). Yes, the Clinton campaign was looking for information against Trump and partly financed the Steele dossier, and also approved leaking information about Alfa Bank servers. This is not illegal. No, the Durham probe, which aim was to prove that the Russia investigation was not properly predicated, did not succeed. Facts are: -the Steele dossier was not at the origin of the Russia probe. Confirmed by the IG investigation and the Durham investigation, - the Alfa Bank information was given by Sussman after the FBI opened its Russia investigation, it could not have caused it, (from the trial) - the FBI did not use the information provided by Sussman, as it was not considered as reliable (from the trial) - the Clinton campaign did not send Sussman (from the trial). Not only did the Durham investigation fail to prove the Russia probe was not properly predicated, it also indirectly debunked Trumps conspiracy theory! ???? https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/05/john-durham-michael-sussman-verdict-not-guilty-russia-alfabank-trump-barr-fbi-clinton.html https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2022/06/how-john-durhams-probe-has-exposed-trumps-russia-con/ https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/justice/fbi-agent-at-sussmann-trial-bureau-rejected-alfa-bank-claims-within-days Your last reference was about the GOP-led Senate investigation in 2020.

What a waste of time and money for nothing. 3 years and $4 million spent for a lame conspiracy theory.

Laughing emoticon conveniently back!

Top oversight Democrat demands that Trump officially certify that he's turned over all sensitive documents taken from the White House "I urge NARA to seek from former President Trump a written certification that he has surrendered all presidential records or classified materials, has not made any copies or reproductions of such materials, and has not transferred any records or government documents to any party other than NARA or DOJ since his term ended," she added." https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-must-certify-that-hes-surrendered-all-classified-files-maloney-2022-9?r=US&IR=T

Of course, there is no evidence. Everyone knows that he was lying.

Make decisions without analysing consequences and without anticipating how to effectively apply them.... That's what morons like Trump usually do. Another proof of his level of incompetence.

Hmmm... I wonder who could have "advised" him? ????

Not to forget the war in Irak. A country which, unlike Afghanistan, had absolutely no relation to the 9/11 attack.6

Another lame false equivalence. The kids in cage during Obama's tenure were not kids who had been separated from their parents by the U.S. administration, as was the policy by the Trump administration. They were kids who were without their parents, and it was a temporary solution until a foster family was found.

Nice try at distracting attention from the key issue. The key issue is not how it is called, but that Trump has been continuously repeating the same lie (which is a big one). Trump is not "equally" at fault. Trump is "solely" at fault for pushing this lie over and over. Nobody would talk about it if Trump had just shut up, instead of using this lie as a tactic to gain political benefits.

As discussed before, you are right about the origin of this expression. However, as also discussed before, this is also used to characterize a propaganda technique used by Goebbels and more recently by Bannon. And That's exactly what Trump is doing (If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it-Goebbels).

The same lame false equivalence again: - she did not claim imaginary massive voter fraud - she did not send her lawyers to launch 60 lawsuits based on ridiculous fake claims - she did not call an election official, asking him to find 11,000 voters - she did not ask Biden to overturn elections by refusing to certify them, - she did not send a stupid mob to assault the Capitol, - etc...

You may be right on this particular point. However, Trump's overall attitude towards white nationalists has been quite ambiguous. Nice to see MAGA folks caring about truth, for once! ????

Isn't it in the video linked by placeholder? You mean the hearings he himself organised, in which testimonies were not under oath? The one over which the ghost Hugo Chavez was hovering? ????

When fascism flirts with religion it's never a good sign.

I don't know. I never watch videos. But there' are quotes in the article. Do you claim they are fake quotes?

Pennsylvania governor candidate Doug Mastriano prayed Trump would 'seize the power' ahead of January 6, video shows "I pray that we'll take responsibility — we'll seize the power that we had given to us by the Constitution, and as well by You, providentially. I pray for the leaders also in the federal government, God, on the 6th of January that they will rise up with boldness," he said. https://news.yahoo.com/pennsylvania-governor-candidate-doug-mastriano-014302235.html

What are the good cannabis shops in Pattaya? I heard about Candyland in Soi Bua Khao. I checked the menu, premium weed at 500/600 per g. There is Blow Cannabis nearby but the price is 590/790 for premium. From looking at Google maps, it seems shops are flourishing and I guess It's difficult to find out which ones are good. What is your experience, in terms of choice, quality, price, and also advices to help customers make a choice?
