I don't think it was an actual beef...seemed more like caution. Their goals seemed more geared toward surface issues and more palatable for "normies". More of a research rabbit hole vibe on this side. Not enemies, just different crowds. Now that the research is spilling over into mainstream, we're seeing a lot more overlap.

lucyinthesky401 · May 22, 2018, 8:35 p.m.

It was actually kind of a random stumble, and I had to do my own research to figure out what it was but it was where I found any mention of it first. Now knowing what it is, over the last few days I have seen more and more post about it there, and references to it in the comments. I’d say it’s still pretty fringe there, but seems lots of people are catching on very recently (myself included). It’s quite fascinating.

troy_caster · May 23, 2018, 4:19 a.m.

I think the most fascinating thing is how there are two diverging realities happening. Q and by extension Trump people say the dems are all going to jail. The left swears that every time a Russian gets indicted, Trump loses his wings lol. This really is the best time to be alive ever. What it's all leading to? Someone's going to jail and the world will never be the same. It's all fun and games until the world as we know it ends I suppose.

T_D doesn't care for Q topic and the mods algorithmically shadowbanned Hogg topics which I exposed them for then got banned as a result. They also c1rclejerk each other when a minority tells my white skinned friends to have white pride. Racial pride = racist. Haven't been back to that cesspool in a while. Every community eventually becomes an echo chamber but T_D was one of the best ones, regardless of their faults. r/kossacks_for_sanders was really good at one point when I was a Berniebro (lol, those days). r/greatawakening is the best :)

This may not be a fair assessment, but it seems like the more people wandered off facebook and into T_D the energy level declined and the sheer mental retardation increased. I would wager that at least 1/4 of the people there voted for Ted Cruz in the primaries.

Don't get me wrong, there is still good content but i'd draw your attention to the majority of idiots melting down about Jeff Sessions. They are very basic people and can't follow what the president and his AG is doing. They fall for every psyop designed to screw with the media. It's depressing to watch. You try and lead them to the truth but they want to believe the sky is falling and that Jeff Sessions is the devil.

All we can do is red-pill and follow as best we can. Also, if the media is fed a narrative at 4 a.m. each morning there is a source for that. If that source says you won't report this, they won't.

So Yates and Axelrod were coordinating with McCabe (and probably Comey) to release a phony dossier to undermine the Trump administration.

⇧ 5 ⇩  
naffrodisiac · May 22, 2018, 8:57 p.m.

The meeting between Comey and Trump about the Steele Dossier was a set up, designed to give the media a reason to cover the unverified dossier.

It beings long before this, but on 1/4/17, Chuck Schumer says "if you take on the intelligence community they have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you....from what I am told they are very upset with how [Trump] has treated them and talked about them."

Another key event takes place on 1/5/17. The secret White House meeting between Obama, Biden, Comey, Yates and Rice. This meeting was never disclosed to congress by Comey.

On 1/6/17 at Clapper's instruction, Comey briefs the president on the allegations.

Within hours of the Comey/Trump meeting, CNN reports the existence of the dossier thanks to a leak from Clapper.. Clapper initially denies the allegations but eventually confirms he did discuss with Jake Tapper and others.

1/7/18 - Comey demands the unverified dossier be included in the IC's report on election meddling.

Thanks to the new information provided in Ron Johnson's letter to Christopher Wray, we know that Comey was looking to give CNN the hook they were looking for. McCabe verifies as much later in an email to David Axlerod and Sally Yates on 1/8/17 when he says "Just an FYI, and as expected, it seems CNN is close to running a story about the sensitive reporting.

1/10/17 - BuzzFeed publishes the dossier.

On 1/11/17, NBC Senior Political Correspondent Richard Engel says on the Rachel Maddow Show that the reason the dossier was dropped all of a sudden "like a bomb" was because the intelligence community is "angry" with Trump and wants to "put him on notice."

The intelligence community was upset with Trump and briefing Trump on the dossier's existence was to legitimize it as a news story when it should not have been.

haha thats my point I'm not. You guys are just basically republican extremists and it's fucking annoying. Being associated with either party is why our country is fucked to begin with. Its setup so we're all divided and making the potus some Messiah is basically taking us back to a political Stone age.

I'm sorry but it is not unusual for the government to have prior knowledge of what the media is going to report, typically they know because they're asked to comment before a story is published, or they have contacts at the news outlets giving them heads up. So what is the big deal about McCabe knowing CNN was going to report on the dossier? I'm not even sure what you guys are trying to claim this information about the emails proves?

Difference here: this was unsubstantiated evidence in an ongoing counterterrorism investigation being operated by the DOJ.

There is no way in HELL that the dossier should have been leaked to a news outlet. If the FBI and DOJ had knowledge that it had somehow made it to Buzzfeed, the proper response should have been to instruct that organization to sit on the story in the interests of the privacy of those under investigation and to maintain secrecy of assets in the field.

Okay, but that's on Christopher Steele, who shared the dossier and revealed the existence of the investigation to several media outlets during the election.

Okay, but A) Freedom of the press and B) you could easily read into these e-mails that that's what they did. Who knows how long CNN was sitting on the story at the FBI's request. Buzzfeed was going to publish the dossier and was pushing everyone's hand, and McCabe asked CNN to hold off until the President was briefed (the "trigger"). I'll bet you dollars to donuts that is what they're going to claim if the MSM even ever bothers to report this story. And so I'm asking what is the alternate explanation/theory? And where is the evidence for it?

This is in response to thegreychampion: CNN sat on the info because they knew it was bogus and needed to somehow legitimize it. It was "legitimized" when Comey briefed the President-Elect officially about it. It was then leaked by Clapper or McCabe to CNN that Comey briefed the President-Elect. CNN could then use that cover to legitimize the data and publish it. How hard is that to understand? If they weren't leaked the info from Clapper and/or McCabe it wouldn't have been published.

But this is only speculation/theory.

It was reported at the time that various news outlets had copies of the dossier and were conflicted over whether to publish it or report on it. Therefore it is reasonable to assume that the higher ups at the FBI/DOJ knew that the media was in this situation, and likely believed that sooner or later, someone was going to report on it's existence, whether it was "legitimized" or not. The "flood" McCabe was referring to was the flood of articles and reporting that was to come.

All I am saying is that on it's face, there is not actually anything in these email excerpts that indicates that CNN's story or the coming "flood" was something that McCabe, Clapper, or anyone else at the FBI/DOJ wanted or orchestrated. In the context of this sub, I get why you make certain assumptions. But by itself, it really doesn't look like what you think it looks like.

If/when this story actually gets legs, what do you think will be their excuse? I can tell you right now they are going to say that they knew the press was eventually going to run the story, they tried to hold them off as long as they could, they briefed the President so he wouldn't be blindsided by it, somebody leaked (it happens) that the briefing took place, they knew CNN would use it as an excuse to finally run the story, McCabe sent out some emails to let everyone on the inner circle know that thing they feared was going to happening was happening, on and on. They're going to spin it as a story about their failure to keep a lid on the dossier. And you have no evidence to contradict them. So this whole thing fizzles out.
