monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

The bold faced parts that your commie buddy didn't like....you know....the ones Olivier discovered and printed.

Who knows how many indictments will result? This truly is criminal behavior, unlike the ridiculous charges of criminality attributed by the cheese-eaters to Trump.

Criminal Defamation Law and Legal Definition

Defamation can be a crime as well as a civil wrong. Criminal defamation occurs when one purposely communicates to any person, orally or in writing, any information which he or she knows to be false and knows will tend to expose any other living person to public hatred, contempt, or ridicule.

In criminal libel, often the theory is that the damage is to the public rather than to a private individual. Therefore, the state becomes the prosecuting entity against an individual speaker. Presumably, the individual’s libelous statement would have to be deemed serious enough to warrant removing the case from the civil realm. The defamation involved in criminal libel could be of another individual, a public official, a government entity, a group, or even a deceased person.

Details Emerge About Trump Dossier Firm’s Media Outreach Campaign

Court papers recently filed in London provide new details about the media outreach campaign carried out by opposition research firm Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele.

In one, dated May 18, Steele says that he was instructed by Fusion GPS to meet with reporters at various outlets in order to publicize some of the allegations made in the dossier.

It has been widely known that Fusion GPS and Steele were in contact with reporters to discuss the dossier. It has been reported that rumors of the dossier were floating around in Washington, D.C. political and journalist circles for months prior to BuzzFeed’s decision to publish it on Jan. 10.

In the response, Steele’s lawyers state that the former spook briefed several reporters at the end of September at the instruction of Fusion GPS, which was working on behalf of a Democratic ally of Hillary Clinton’s.

The outlets were The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo! News, The New Yorker and CNN.

Steele met once more — and again at Fusion GPS’s instruction — with The Times, The Post, and Yahoo! News. Fusion GPS took part in all of those meetings, Steele’s lawyers say.

In October, Fusion GPS instructed Steele to brief a journalist from Mother Jones. The interview, which was conducted through Skype, was likely with reporter David Corn. Corn published an article in October referring in general terms to the Steele document.

Yahoo News’ Michael Isikoff also appears to have published a report based on information from his meeting with Steele and Fusion GPS.

“In each of those cases the briefing was conducted verbally in person,” the document reads.

I don't know how to dumb it down for you.

Report: Democrats colluded with Russians to defeat Trump

Democrats have widely circulated the discredited dossier by ex-British intelligence agent Christopher Steele, who was paid by the Democrat-funded opposition research firm Fusion GPS with money from a Hillary Clinton supporter.

"If anyone should be investigated in Washington, it ought to be Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Mark Warner and their staffers.”

That is a reference to Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the top Democrat on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence; Sen. Mark R. Warner, Virginia Democrat and vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; and Rep. Eric Swalwell, a California, Democrat on the House intelligence panel.

Steele’s dossier, which the author himself admitted contained unproven charges that came almost exclusively from sources linked to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin, contains a series of unverified criminal charges against Trump’s campaign aides, such as coordinating Moscow’s hacking of Democratic Party computer.

Yahoo News, which cited intelligence sources and not Steele, ran with the story on Page and the Clinton campaign used the Yahoo story to attack Trump. A Sept. 23 press release from Clinton’s campaign was headlined “Hillary for America Statement on Bombshell Report About Trump Aide’s Chilling Ties to Kremlin”.

“After the report by Yahoo News, the Clinton campaign put out an equally false press release just minutes after the article was released that afternoon,” said Page.

“Of course, the [Clinton campaign representatives] were lying about it with the media nonstop for many months, and they’ve continued until this day,” Page said. “Both indirectly as they planted articles in the press and directly with many TV appearances.”

I don't know how to dumb it down for you.

Is English your only language?

I could try Romanian or Russian. Something tells me it would be a gigantic waste of my time.......but you know that don't you?

Stop playing the fool,

better yet stop pretending you are smarter than you are.

I'm not the one who acted like irrelevant trivia was a big deal and then got caught flat-footed when asked to explain why it was such a big deal. (Thus your present obfuscations.)

Some folks just stick their fingers in their ears and chant lalalalalalalalalalalalala

I don't know how to dumb it down for you.

Brilliant retort: incisive, compact, factual argument; clearly stated. Persuasive too.

The banality of the response says nothing about Layman, but a lot about the author of it.

[No, it doesn't say that much about either really.
