Donald Trump falsely says new Carter Page documents show Steele dossier launched Russia probe Put simply, Trump is wrong about the triggering event. The Steele dossier did not launch the FBI’s investigation into links between the Trump campaign and Russia. The dossier was used, to some extent, to persuade a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to authorize surveillance of Page. But it was the actions of another Trump campaign adviser — George Papadopoulos — that actually started the investigation. Trump adviser George Papadopoulos triggered investigation The federal government started looking into Russian election involvement in July 2016 based on information from Papadopoulos. This was confirmed by Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee. "The Papadopoulos information triggered the opening of an FBI counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016 by FBI agent Pete Strzok," the House Intelligence Committee’s GOP members wrote in a Feb. 2 memo. House Intelligence Committee Republicans confirmed in an April report it was Papadopoulos who set the FBI investigation in motion. So, what was the "Papadopoulos information"? According to the New York Times, Papadopoulos told a high-ranking Australian diplomat at an upscale London bar in May 2016 that Moscow had "political dirt" on Hillary Clinton. Australian officials relayed this information to their American counterparts. Mueller appointed later Trump also confused the timeline of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s involvement. The Papadopoulos discussion of Clinton dirt that triggered the investigation took place in May 2016. Yet an entire year would pass before Mueller entered the picture. The Justice Department did not appoint Mueller to take over the FBI investigation until May 2017, roughly a week after Trump fired FBI director James Comey. Our ruling Trump said the Steele dossier "was responsible for starting" Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into links between the Trump campaign and Russia. The Steele dossier did not trigger Mueller’s investigation. It was information from Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos that set the probe in motion. Also, Mueller did not take up the investigation until roughly a year after the triggering event. https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-...-trump-falsely-says-new-carter-page-document/
So what percentage of white women voted for Trump? That's all he cares about. The women who helped Donald Trump win https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/1/20/14061660/women-march-washington-vote-trump "But Trump outperformed Clinton among white women, winning 53 percent of voters in that demographic."
Right, just like Conservative Icon and Feminist Roseanne Barr said, only white wimin are real wimin, rest of them are apes.
I wasn't aware that politifact has seen all of the classified documents. Does someone at politifact have a high security clearance?
Looks like even Cons forget about the Nunesburger, go look it up. And yes, Nunes has the security clearance and his memo makes it clear the chain of events.
Hannity did a one hour special for her, who other than conservative icons get that kind of treatment? Trump personally called her to congratulate, his supporters worship her as if she was the female Trump.
He is a racist piece of shit that only cares about white people.Thanks for your honesty on that. He did not get most of the female vote as he claimed so thats another lie added to the thousands he has already told.
