The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Dope1: twitter.com - Techno Fog...

But what IS in the report? Hmm:

The Clinton campaign plan to link Trump-Russia - known to the CIA - was briefed to President Obama, VP Biden, AG Lynch, and FBI Director Comey


Well, that's what happens when you get your information from Techno Fog rather than go to the actual report. Here's EXACTLY what the Durham Report says about that:

-- In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians' hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The IC does not know the accuracy of this allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.

-- According to his handwritten notes, CIA Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the "alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services."


In short, Techno Fog says there definitely was a campaign plan of tying Trump to Putin and hackers but the report says there were Russian allegations of a plan but no evidence to support the allegations, which just might be fabrications.

No wonder Durham couldn't get any indictments. He's spewing bullsh!t and bullsh!t doesn't work in a grand jury or in a court room.
