Lad I'm confused.

In short, DNC, through their cutout Perkins Coie, and through another cutout GPS Fusion, bought oppo research directly from Russians whom are presumably tied to Russian intelligence, in order to move forward against a political opponent.

Further, it is becoming more plausible now that we know of the monetary connections between the DNC and the GPS Fusion dossier, and the originators of the dossier and previous deep ties to the Obama administration, that the basis of the literal explosion of FISA requests relating to Trump may very well be fundamentally connected to this dossier.

But, as many of my liberal colleagues try to say, 'Never mind *that* man behind the curtain there'. To me it is fundamentally scary that a ginned up trash dossier may very well be the basis for a fing government investigation using FISA powers against a political opponent.

Oh, but let's just ignore that crap covered side of the coin..... lolz.

Junior, tried to gain oppo research from a Russian-connected lawyer.

The actions are the same. The intent is the same.

Now that we have equivalent actions from *both* sides in the election, it is somehow all drastically different.

Now what I hear is that Junior, intentionally tried to get knowing illegally-obtained oppo research.

And on the corresponding, the GPS dossier either contains fraudulent items; or stuff that (if true) if it had been obtained in this country would have been as an illegal manner as what Jr. is 'intentionally' seeking.

And the last dodge is "well it was obtained in Russia, therefore not illegal."

The distinctions I have heard all day from from my die hard progressives starts sounding more and more like they are dancing furiously to an Irish jig to justify *their* crappy (and verified, mind you) actions relative to what is being *speculated* about Jrs. intent and supposed specific knowledge.
