31. It has to do with the Steele dossier, FISA warrants, rogue FBI agents and spying on Trump

The right wing alternative story that is being trumpeted all day, every day on hate radio and right wing media is that the investigation into Trump campaign Russian collusion was ginned up by Hillary. She cleverly used the Steele dossier (which is based largely on Russian sources) by arranging it to fall into the hands of John McCain. McCain, shocked at what he saw, turned the dossier over to his FBI contacts, who used the phony info within to get a warrant to surveil a member of the Trump campaign. This kicked off the whole Trump/Russia collusion investigation. Oh, yeah, I think Obama was supposed to be involved as well.

Therefore, as anyone can plainly see, it was Hillary who was working with the Russians and treasonous Deep State actors, not Trump.

Barr is tasked with finding classified documents to support this claim and releasing them to the public.

Before she was a politician, Hillary was a lawyer, and pretty damned good at her job from what I've heard.

without calling him a "FAT fuck," so as not to offend OTHER people who may be struggling with their weight. THAT'S whom I'm defending!!

It's called "common decency"...doesn't have anything to do with defending that prick... isnt it sufficient to call that prick a prick without referring to him as a "FAT prick"?

Do whatever you want, but, I am the LAST person you should accuse of defending that scumbag (not FAT scumbag) just for requesting that you refrain from fat shaming, so as to be considerate of those who may have weight issues. I can't think of ONE kind word to say about that piece of shit!! (Not FAT piece of shit)

Do you think no fat person can understand the sentiment? Or that all us fat people will burst into tears because our feelings have been hurt? What you’re doing is implying that one person being called a fat fuck will make all fat people crumble, or that being fat is so shameful that all fat people must therefore be defective. You are totally wrong in your suppositions. Fat people don’t need to be treated with kid gloves.

And quite frankly if someone chooses to insult me about being fat I am more than capable of putting them in their place and defending myself. There’s nothing wrong with fat people just because we’re fat. If you think it’s disrespectful to say the word fat about someone then by all means don’t use the word.

that dipshit, asshole prick tRump as fat, cocksucker, and other descriptors that OTHER people have said offends them. If it doesn't offend you, that's great... that doesn't mean others don't deserve our consideration and respect.

But, besides that, just don't accuse me of DEFENDING that dipshit, asshole, prick just because I suggest not adding FAT as a further insult. I think ANYONE can see my legitimate point, even if you disagree... it should be so obvious to any fair-minded person that it shouldn't even require any further explanation.

But, carry on... make fun of other fat people if that makes you feel better.

I did not mean to be insensitive to all overweight people. See my posts below. I barely notice the weight of decent people. For instance, Jerry Nadler. I would never remark about his weight. He is a kind, decent person. And so are many other people who are overweight.

But for some reason, when it comes to piggish, evil, republicans, their weight seems to repulse me for some unknown reason. It doesn't make any sense logically, but there is something about the fat, rich, white, hateful republican that really makes me want to go on the attack.

which is OKAY. What is NOT okay is țo suggest that, by expressing my objection to fat-shaming, that should somehow be construed as DEFENDING President Pig Vomit, like that other poster accused me of doing and who refuses to retract that accusation. THAT is absurd in the extreme and inexcusably goes beyond any honest disagreement we may have about insulting people for being fat.

If he were a decent man, I would never have said a word about his weight. And I never would about a decent person. But there is something particularly loathsome to me about evil, FAT, rich, white, republican men. I don't know why they repulse me so much, but they do.

to the other poster, in the string directly above your response, I simply suggested foregoing fat shaming insults about that prick out of respect and in consideration of those who struggle with their weight.

You can disagree if you like, that's fine... just don't accuse me of DEFENDING that asshole simply for making that suggestion, like that other poster accused me of doing. I take strong exception to that... certainly, you can see we why.

However, when it comes to ugly, rich, white, fat, republican men, I can't seem to help myself. There is something about the fat republican man that just repulses me, whereas I don't find others who are overweight to be worthy of ridicule.

There is something particularly loathsome to me about the fat, rich, republican man. I can't explain it. Obesity does not stir the same disgust in me when I see it in others. I'm not sure why. It just doesn't.

WILLIAM BARR: Right, so Huber had originally been asked to take a look at the FISA applications and the electronic surveillance but then he stood back and put that on hold while the Office of Inspector General was conducting its review, which would've been normal for the department. And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally. So he has not been active on this front in recent months and so Durham is taking over that role. The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition.
