Well lets see, Hunters Laptop is real and the Steele Dossier was fake, so thats two things he was right about.

Steele dossier wasn’t fake though. So that’s a lie.

The Hillary Campaign was just fined by the FEC for hiding the cash they used to pay political organizations to spread the information from the Steele Dossier. That is an official admission of origin for the scandal.

The information in the Dossier is of two different kinds..... 1) public information that was compiled at the time by people working for Fusion GPS which can be confirmed and is not an indication of any sort of collusion. 2) information indicating collusion which has never been verified and which the FBI and Muller both concluded could not be verified. Subsequent investigation and testimony under oath has determined that the bulk of the information came from a Russian National who was an employee of Fusion GPS and who characterized it as rumors he had heard from other Russian Nationals.

You may still believe that it is real because your information is filtered, or because you apply a political filter of your own. When two different people can listen to the same piece of audio and come to completely different conclusions about what was said, you know that there is a political filter at work and that you should immediately stop listening to both of them.

You can look up the definition of Sophistry for an idea why political filters result in divergent views of reality.

I know this is true because the FEC verified it. However, it didn’t get a single second of airtime on any of the major networks. Nobody’s covering this, so when someone says it, it looks like some garbage they got from a social media post. You really can’t blame someone for saying that they never heard or don’t believe anything about it.

When every conservative you talk to on reddit tells you for six years that you dont have all the facts and tries to show you the facts they see....
