    Good thread. It is unfortunate that the partisan argument against the Russia probe is so weak that it has come to just attacking public service professionals. It is bad for all of us and partisan "feelings" will inevitably lose to professionally collected facts.

    THREAD. I am completely confused as to how the "FBI used the Steele dossier to get FISAs" in any way helps Trump or his campaign. To wit:

    This is an excellent piece from that gets a lot of things right. Amazing what happens if you talk to actual FBI folks and people like David Kris about what’s going on.

    This is the man conservatives are accommodating themselves to. For tax cuts.

    In Oval Office meeting, Trump raged about immigrants coming into the country, according to officials. Haitians? They "all have AIDS," he snapped. Nigerians? After seeing America, they won't want to "go back to their huts."

    These are disgraceful statements and un-American. The President refutes the immigrant foundation of American society.

    Again, Andrew McCabe wasn’t given any money, he wasn’t on the Clinton investigation at the time, and there’s no evidence Clinton even knew. What happened: the Virginia Dem Party, and allies of Virginia Gov. McAuliffe, donated to the campaign of Virginia candidate Jill McCabe.
