If the Trump Despising FBI could not verify the trash, and believe me they had reason to do it, what makes him think he can?

He probably feels he can manufacture evidence as well as blackmail and bribe better than them.

Speaking of the media...

In the White House briefing today, Sarah Huckabee answered a very good question posed by John Roberts, FOX News White House correspondent. This was the FIRST question up.

He reported there in the briefing that the FBI was contacted by Porter’s first wife, in January, 2017, and they subsequently interviewed her (and also his second wife).

Roberts question was that if in all that time since, (12 months) when was it that any ONE IN the White House was first contacted, by the FBI, with this information?

Her answer was that “ the first we knew about it was on Wednesday”(last week). Roberts asked her, “Who is, ‘we’?”.

Sarah said, “the White House”.

Does this answer really mean that the Trump hating FBI withheld this information from the White House, or what?

Trump has a schedule and people who were with him....dates of his travels would be known. It shouldn’t be that hard to square or not square accusations with know hotel and travel dates. Hotels have cameras.

Besides having a dally with a prostitute is not Russian collusion and Trump has never been sworn under oath concerning allegations of “golden showers”! I don’t believe Trump did it anyway!

From the article:

“As a top FBI cybersecurity official tasked to the White House, Ferrante was in charge of coordinating the U.S. government response to Russian attempts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election, among other responsibilities. Prior to joining the NSC in 2015, Ferrante was chief of staff for the FBI’s cyber division at headquarters under then-Director James Comey. Ferrante, still working for the FBI but at the White House, stayed in his position as director for cyber incident response at the NSC through the Trump administration, until April 2017, when he left to join FTI.”

This was the FBI Chief of Staff of the cyber division in charge of investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.

And now after 6 months of his team trying to verify the so called “dossier” he has nothing.

If anyone should be the target of a FISA warrant, it’s this guy. Running all over Russia and no doubt coordinating with old colleagues in the US. The sedition tour.

unverified trash

the problem with this phrase is that the meme-warriors already have half the idea implanted in your brain.

It isn't unverified rubbish, because the opposite is verified rubbish, which is nonsense.

Its plain ordinary weaponized fraudulent vanilla rubbish of the kind the weaponized puppet controlled MSM spews forth all the time.

At this point, it's not a verification job, it's a sales-job.

1. Publish the accusation
2. Try to verify over a year later

Yeah, that’s not how it works.

“The ramifications of FTI’s dossier investigation could be game-changing for Mueller’s probe, because it “would establish outside veracity of dossier allegations,””

so they’re trying to tell us that the FBI is incapable of such an investigation itself and has to rely on second-stingers hired by a fake news click-bait website?

yeah, right.

btw, foreignpolicy.com is nothing but a far-far-left agitprop website.

Thx, Mike. Okay, Brett Baire reports FOX is just hearing that WH Counsel, John McGann was informed, by the FBI, this past November. McGann needs to be on the same page with WH communications department, and also clarify Porter’s lack of security clearance. Someone dropped a ball, with charming Porter’s name on it. 😚

For reasons of my own I rarely use source links so I don’t know if such a legal action took place. But if it was reported , It’s standard “J” practice for the source to report who initiated the action , when, as well what court, and the type of damages then cite them in the lead paragraph when reporting the story. Otherwise if not the question I have Is Buzzfeed jumping the gun ?
