what is this crap grassley is spewing about russian lawyer

[orleans]

and doing this implication that dems were behind this whole thing with the junior idiot?

i got this thrown up at me today at work by a hillary hater (who also went off on the fucking email shit)
i asked where they heard this and they wouldn't tell me.
i finally asked "did you hear this on fox?" and this person said yes "i certainly wouldn't watch cnn"



oh. okay. then i i have no idea what you're talking about.

i googled grassley and that lawyer's name, veselnitskaya, and could only come up with a fox link. which i don't want to link here. grassley was being "interviewed"

anyone up on this crap or have more of a take on it then me?

(all i keep thinking is: "oh yes, it's probably all obama's fault--let's just blame him for everything." )

it never ceases to amaze me how crazed these republicans are. in a way, it's like their last gasp.)

1. It goes like this

There is a research firm called Fusion GPS. They were hired by republicans to get dirt on Trump. After the primaries, Clinton hired them to continue the investigation. They then hired Christopher Steele who wrote the infamous Steele dossier. At some point, that Russian lawyer who met with Don Jr. also hired Fusion GPS for help with getting the Magnitsky sanctions repealed. So because they both hired the same firm, Clinton is linked to the Russian lawyer.

Sort of the way Don Jr. is a mobster because his lawyer has also represented four NY crime families.

Didn't want anyone to think that Michael Steele was actually working against Trump.

4. yes, the RW is blaming her entry into the US on Obama. She apparently entered the US in 2016 after

her visa had expired. So, as it goes---it is Obama's fault.

9. Chuck Grassley, is a right-wing wingnut, always spreading pure political bull crap

I was watching, Chuck Grassley is basically a blocker to take away from Diane Feinstein's fact filled on topic statement. Usually he mixes in Alex Jones, Newsmax, the Drudge Report, in equal parts so they will bite.

A pure base play, I thought he was more independent than that, of the last few years he has surprised me with this crap.

I've gone from avid listener (yes I know, get a life) to 100 percent tuning him out every time. After checking content.

Maybe he's just mailing it in these days, because there is a difference in the last few years

10. they've got to muddy the waters in any way they can

and there are plenty of trumpists who'll carry that water, or drink it once some Kool-Aid is mixed in...
