Yes, that's not some secret since one of the sources for that wikipedia article was Anderson Cooper writing about it on his own CNN blog. That doesn't mean he's a CIA agent. The Venn diagram of reporters and CIA agents intersects with "people who are interested in world events."

They're either lying or were fooled by a cut-out. All the evidence points to Russia.
I think you and your party is so out of touch with the American people that you're completely butt hurt and refuse to take responsibility and an inward look at your party and it's policies, so you just blame Russia.
 
I'm curious: how do you explain the Rosneft sale turning out to happen as the Steele dossier predicted & the Russians connected to dossier turning up dead? And the one change Trump's aides made to the RNC platform was removing language about arming Ukraine in defense of Russian aggression. Rather odd, yes?
Nice attempt (but a fail) of deflecting the topic and it had nothing to do with you parroting fake news in an unthinking way.

Anyone who's still sticking to the accelerationist "at least he'll burn down the house faster" argument likely should be given a mental health exam.
Oh, I think she would have burned down the house faster but Trump will get impeached faster. Anyone thinking Hillary was competent to be president really needs to evaluate their own personal views.

NOTE: I didn't vote for either because neither was competent. They were both highly despicable.

What are you talking about? The Steele dossier included the hooker + piss story. It also included the Rosneft sale, which actually happened. And Russians connected to the dossier have subsequently turned up dead. I get that you people call things "fake news" when you don't like them, you really need to join us in reality.

You deflect more than a goalkeeper.
Let me repeat it to you.
This thread is about the ***CIA*** and today's ***WikiLeaks*** dump.

ANYTHING else, including the POTUS' preferences in bed, is off-topic.

Oh, no, that's obviously wrong. Most of planet Earth knows that Trump was less competent, is dangerous and unhinged, and will burn down this country faster.
 
This is news? lol.

The government has ALWAYS tried to spy on its citizens, legally or illegally. People are just too naive and oblivious to believe such facts.

Problem with the truth, no one usually believes it and it usually hurts.
And you are okay with that?
 
"Weeping Angel"? Seriously?

Do spies let their 14 year old kids name their operations, or was there really a committee of balding, 50 year old men sitting around a conference table saying "That sounds so bad ass! We're totally going with that one!" ?
 

To answer to something that someone (=you) asked about grabbing women, in one of the many off-topic posts that someone (=you) wrote.

Trump's Access Hollywood tape only came up because Wikileaks started leaking DNC emails an hour after it came out in an attempt to distract from it. Already explained this. Try to keep up. Feel free to not respond. You can listen and learn instead!

<edited response> Well I hit "reply" to a merged post and the part I was replying to didn't copy over. The post I was replying to was someone commenting on the name "weeping angel" and the last part of the comment above noted that "weeping angel" is a Doctor Who reference. My comment below is in response to that...

***** original comment *****
It is a particularly appropriate Doctor Who reference. For anyone not familiar with this British Sci-Fi series, it has been around since 1963. The "weeping angels" are a race of creatures that look like old fashioned angel statues you might see in a cemetery. Although they look like stone statues when you are looking at them, as soon as you blink your eyes or turn your head, they move toward you. As long as you are watching them they can't hurt you because they can't move while they are being watched but the second you take your eyes off of them they will attack you.
 
Oh, no, that's obviously wrong. Most of planet Earth knows that Trump was less competent, is dangerous and unhinged, and will burn down this country faster.
And that, is strictly a matter of opinion. She is unstable (like Trump), a chronic lier (like Trump) and vindictive (like Trump).

Both were horrible options (though I can tell you think Hillary was some type of saint. One of her "true followers" unable to put the blame of her loss squarely on her. I mean, how bad do you have to be to loose to Trump? Really really really bad.).

As for the Steele dossier, they are unverified and Russia is known for making false information about people of power but you trust it 100% as true. In short, you trust Russia when it suits your narrow political views. They may be true. They may not be. I don't take them as gospel and I don't discount them but they are not fact. Use the word "alleged" next time.

As for Russia being able to black mail Trump? Seriously? I don't think he is ashamed of anything he has ever done because of his extreme narcissistic tendencies.

Tax Payers are funding CIA and all those Organisations with their Hard Earned Dollars.

Only to have them spy on them.

Crazy to call that democracy... We vote to select a bunch of people to do what is best in our interest. But they keep everything secret to us. How are we supposed to vote if we do not know what is going on ? I cannot cast a vote like this... What am I voting for, exactly? Walls, Healthcare, Jobs.... Ha. It appears that those are just to get us inside the voting polls. The real agenda is to build organisations which are spying on me..

So when I and we go to vote, we actually vote for the Government to spy on us... Nice.

This is absolutely not true, and you know it. She doesn't go on twitter tirades or blow up at people or go after SNL or Hamilton or Nordstroms. She served as the Secretary of State for years and never once had a blowup like Trump has had in the past 6 weeks.

Based upon your assessment of Trump, you should consider that you're very bad at reading people. You know nothing about me and what I believe, except that I know Trump is less stable than Clinton.

As for the Steele dossier, they are unverified and Russia is known for making false information about people of power but you trust it 100% as true.

Who said I trust it 100%? Not me. I just pointed out that *some* of the things of it have come true, which I find curious.

They may not be. I don't take them as gospel and I don't discount them but they are not fact. Use the word "alleged" next time.

What are you talking about? I was talking about the specific things that have come true since the Dossier came out. Things in the news. People dying. I don't have to call it an "alleged" sale of 19% of Rosneft -- it happened. It was on Forbes and Bloomberg. Whether Trump benefitted from it is another question.

As for Russia being able to black mail Trump? Seriously? I don't think he is ashamed of anything he has ever done because of his extreme narcissistic tendencies.

He spent debate time bragging about the size of his hands. No one does that unless they're insecure. You don't think he'd prefer to keep a tape of himself naked (if it exists) from airing? Come on.

Screeching "fake news" is the latest tactic of Putin, Trump, and Assad when they don't like facts or reality and can't actually dispute the story.
 
And you are okay with that?

I sure as hell am not, sadly I'm not American so can't express me displeasure to the US government - though I would do so to the Canadian government and WILL express my displeasure to my American friends who surely should be getting pretty angry about this. I am especially angry that as a consumer there is no real alternative as every big tech company and main OS are being targeted, even if I feel Apple is somewhat better protected against the smaller pirates and doesn't base their business on selling your info.

Indeed, though we got no Doctor to whip these people in shape ...
 
you sound like a spy......

And this is why any time someone starts talking about a huge, far-reaching conspiracy, I kinda have to laugh. I don't think we have a single large organization on earth that's tight enough to hide anything big. Even the freaking intelligence community is subject to major leaks of this nature at least once a year.
The Illuminati has not had a leak in 1000 years....they are doing pretty good!

Different budgets lead to different capabilities. I don't think that every other nation on Earth with technology has the same budget as the U.S.. Some might, like China or Russia, but the vast majority has to make do with a significantly smaller budget.
If the government does not do it, then the criminal cartels will......
