Kapernick opted out of his $15 million dollar agreement for this year. He also is not a good QB and a back up QB at best. He is also a distraction and you’re judged by the company you keep and your actions. Kapernick is not owed anything!

In reply to Greg Laden.

I agree he is a respected MI5 agent, and I think head of the Russia desk(The Russia House?).
The British intelligence about yellowcake was respected too.

It is possible I missed something in the dossier. Collusion is not a crime, though it is impeachable. Russians assisting Trump for several years is not a crime. Compromat is not a crime(and the dossier says they have it on Hillary too), depending on what it is.

MikeN, no, respected MI5 agent as in led training sessions for the special relationship joint operations against Russia for years, and everyone in the Russia area knows and respect him.

The dossier does a lot more than you suggest here. You should read it. It outlines clear compromat, and implicates many of the “president’s men” in a collusion plot. It documents that the Russians have been assisting Trump for several years.

News just broke here in Ireland about Manafort being indicted by (one of) Mueller’s grand jury(s) on 12 counts.

Imma goin’ over to my local petrol station forecourt shop to see if they have any microwave popcorn…

In reply to Greg Laden. I agree if the dossier is accurate, that would outweigh the source of funding. Though it is not clear there are any crimes even if 100% accurate. It says Trump turned down deals with Russia that were supposed to be part of the cultivation process. Having high level Kremlin people as the source goes against the collusion theory by itself.

In reply to dean.

It doesn’t really matter if WFB was the original funder, though it is not good journalism to be hiring outsiders to do research. Bill Kristol wanting to take out Trump is not a surprise.
Having opposition research used as the basis for investigating political candidates(and this appears to include Bernie’s wife) is not a nice trend.
You have an opponent. Do some research. Get the FBI to start an investigation. Announce the investigation to hurt your opponent’s chances, and maybe get an opportunity to eavesdrop on his campaign. Leak the things you eavesdropped and that were found in the investigation to hurt your opponent some more.

In reply to Greg Laden. Respected secret agent like the ones who backed up the 16 words in Bush's speech about yellowcake. Only they were never paid, and no report that they paid anyone for the story.

In reply to dean. The dossier is the Russia angle, and Steele was hired after Clinton was paying(and WFB exited). WFB was looking at other stuff and more people than Trump, allegedly.

It does not matter who paid for, initiated, or finished off the dossier. The dossier was researched and assembled by a highly qualified and widely respected former secret agent. It is as good a source as any.
