There is this too. The FBI refrained from launching a FISA warrant request until it came into possession of a dossier from Christopher Steele, a former British intelligent agent. The Steele dossier played "a central and essential role in the decision by FBI [Office of General Counsel] to support the request for FISA surveillance targeting Carter Page, as well as the FBI's ultimate decision to seek the FISA order," the IG report concluded. The FBI "drew almost entirely" from the Steele dossier to prove a “well-developed conspiracy” between Russians and the Trump campaign. The IG found that FBI agents were “unable to corroborate any of the specific substantive allegations against Carter Page” in the Steele dossier but the FBI relied on Steele’s allegations regardless. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/12/10/ig-report-fbi-fisa-abuse-secret-court-trump-campaign-column/4383722002/

Thank you for that explanation.

Yet, were there not several FISA warrants issued to investigate the Trump campaign based on that document?

Might be like that with biden not being prosecuted for keeping unsecured classified documents, something I could be in prison for still, if I had done what he did, having had access to extremely sensitive stuff. That was scary stuff. We had classified document compartments like bank vaults. If you were caught in one, by yourself, without a second person in there, you were arrested and subject to imprisonment! Have you ever used or tried to access a top secret level, secure, filing cabinet, that refuses to open, even when you have the correct combination or even seen one? A much more secure location to store classified documents than a cardboard box or car in a garage, if what I have heard reported about in biden's case (I have not tried to verify the accuracy of those statements).

I find it in the posts I read on the internet and from listening to different people talking about it. As to dictionaries. Woke used to be something related to the opposite of asleep, if I recall correctly. Sort of like "gay" used to mean " lighthearted and carefree", "Nan had a gay disposition and a very pretty face", now it means something entirely different.

OK, my reading comprehension is failing me here. What does "properly predicated" mean in your sentence?

This is the first that I have read, that the steele dossier was funded by republicans. Perhaps you should inform AP. But then, perhaps some of those RINO's (who I belive are moderate democrats) were involved too.! NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier. That’s according to documents sent Tuesday to the Coolidge Reagan Foundation, which had filed an administrative complaint in 2018 accusing the Democrats of misreporting payments made to a law firm during the 2016 campaign to obscure the spending. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-2022-midterm-elections-business-elections-presidential-elections-5468774d18e8c46f81b55e9260b13e93

I. Papadopoulos Knew Nothing about the DNC Emails — and Probably Nothing about Any Emails The one and only source for the email component of the story is George Papadopoulos. He, of course, is a convicted liar — convicted, in fact, of lying to the FBI during the very same interviews in which he related the detail about emails. Moreover, the Mueller report confirms that he is simply unreliable: To inflate his importance, he overhyped his credentials and repeatedly misled his Trump-campaign superiors regarding his discussions with people be believed had connections to the Russian regime — who they were and what they were in a position to promise. Other than Papadopoulos’s own word, there is no evidence — none — that he was told about emails by Joseph Mifsud, a Maltese academic whom the FBI and the Mueller investigation deceptively portrayed as a Russian agent. As I’ve previously detailed, because the investigation could not establish that Mifsud was a Russian agent, Mueller’s charge against Papadopoulos is artfully framed to obscure this weakness. Carefully parsed, Mueller allegation is that Papadopoulos had reason to believe Mifsud was a Russian agent — not that Mifsud actually was one. https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/05/fbi-trump-russia-investigation-george-papadopoulos/

"Should" those who supported the Steele dossier, Russia gate investigation against Trump, also go back and correct their posts?

I disagree, you have in the past displayed very strong bigotry. I have found that the definition of woke, depends on what a particular person of group, wants it to be. Are you also a progressive?

You are writing about the American version, right?

And a much better Top Gear show than the knock off here in the U.S. of A.. The American Top Gear is/was boring. I watched the U.K. Top Gear when ever I could.

You are one of the woke ones, whether you know it or not.

Yet, it seems that the woke is so easily offended by those that will not accept their ... wokeness!

I remember being happy, and loopy, and non-combative!

Many years ago, before it was illegal to use in the United States, the U.S. Army did a study of marijuana use and its affects on the user. The U.S. Army found that the worst effect that marijuana had on the user was, it made them hungry and pacified them!

If not already answered ... WMD, weapons of mass destruction. Chemical and biological warfare agents. Some of them extremely nasty and extremely deadly, like, Sarin, VX, the atomic bomb and that other more bigger bomb.

A few years ago I heard an audio recording of a man, while he was being eaten by a bear. I still feel squeamish in my stomach when I think about it. He was not trying to negotiate!

Really? Sounds like he will still be screwed then.

Off topic post! I don't think so, I could be wrong though. It is a Quartz C cell battery powered clock. If it was in the large conference room at the end of the building on the 2nd floor at coords 42 32 53.7 x -71 36 37.4, then this is the clock. In the 60's I think that clocks that looked like this were plug in only. I think that back in the early 70's they were plug in only. This clock may have been an INSCOM clock. The exterior has not aged well and it appears to have been dropped and a piece of the brown surround broken off. Other than that, it is the most accurate clock in the house, even if I only use AA batteries with it rather than a C cell. Checking google earth I see that windows facing the streets are now boarded up and there are fences blocking access. I, rescued, the clock back in 2013 about a week after returning to the U.S. of A. from my 5 weeks in Thailand.

Off topic question. What you posted is interesting. Were those aeronautical en route ground stations you worked with?

Do you mean, ever bother to run again? I think her support dropped down to 2% of the democrat voters. I wonder how much of the democrat voter support she has now? Kamala Harris’s decline in the polls, explained Data suggests some of her supporters have migrated to candidates who were previously their second choice. After a blockbuster debate performance in June, Sen. Kamala Harris shot up in the national polls, peaking at 15 percent voter support. Cut to five months later, and she’s announced her decision to drop out, after polling in the single digits. https://www.vox.com/2019/11/20/20953284/kamala-harris-polls-2020-election

I have a battery powered wall clock that used to belong to the Army Security Agency at Fort Devens, MA. It had the letter Z stuck to the face of it. I used to work with a high frequency direction finding network. WWV and WWVH were two of our calibration DF targets. Depending on the time of day at the location of the DF station, one or the other WWV stations could not be heard due to propagation of the signal. Sometimes neither could be heard. If either station was in the Grayline, then some stations might get a false line of bearing on the station. Correction, that clock has Z 5 on it. Zulu plus 5 hours.
