@jonathanchait "The mainstream media did not treat Steele’s allegations as facts"
False.

@jonathanchait "Trump’s relationship with Russia turned out to be deeper and more incriminating."
False.
#MuellerReport pages 173 and 181 of volume 1.

@jonathanchait When leftists info launder garbage through the IC, FBI and DOJ and then use circular reporting and citations to derail a POTUS candidate & then a sitting POTUS, there needs to be severe consequences. This should never be allowed to happen again.
You got one mostly correct.

@jonathanchait Actually our argument is the Dossier was central and essential to the Carter Page FISA and THAT was used to spy on Trump, seeing as it was renewed multiple times. Even once with Mueller as the Special Counsel. None of them were valid and 2 were nixed as such by the FISC.

@jonathanchait References #IGReport and the FISC:

@jonathanchait "The FBI did try to run down Steele’s leads, but it also had other sources for its investigation (and, indeed, uncovered a great deal of incriminating information)."

It did, and the FBI knew Steele's Dossier was garbage even before they fraudulently used it for the FISA.

@jonathanchait " a few weeks after that, Trump asked Russia to hack Clinton’s emails on live television."
Yes, a joke. Everyone but leftists knew at the time Hillary's server was offline long before. As such, her lost/deleted emails were never going to be "hacked". The entire premise is absurd.

@jonathanchait False. There was no contract for the Trump Tower as your citation proposed after citing the fluff your biased Congress critters cried about.
It was proposed and never acted upon. Also business dealings in foreign country's are not illegal. Nor are they incriminating.

@jonathanchait "The most conclusive investigation into the counterintelligence danger posed by Trump’s ties to Russia — "...
"Trump was implicated in, and compromised by, Russia — was conducted by the Senate Intelligence Committee. That bipartisan report is extensive and damning."
False.

@jonathanchait 'Roger Stone, the campaign “took actions to obtain advance notice about WikiLeaks releases of Clinton emails; took steps to obtain...the content of releases once WikiLeaks began to publish stolen information.”'

True, not illegal. Oppo research is perfectly legal.

@jonathanchait Stone, as you may recall was indicted for lying to the FBI, not for contacting Wiki.
That would be no different than Hillary/DNC employing Perkins & Coie to employ Fusion GPS to employ Steele.

@jonathanchait "campaign manager Paul Manafort,"..."Russian agent Konstantin Kilimnik, including giving him regular supplies of campaign polling data."
Misleading.
He shared publicly available data.
Remember, Manafort was not indicted for sharing sensitive polling data when he was railroaded.

@jonathanchait False.
Trump is a Germophobe and had his own coterie of body guards and security professionals... There was zero chance of there ever being a possibility of a "pee-tape".

@jonathanchait False.
There was no damning indictment. The entire Senate Intel report was a complete partisan jack-off session and we recognize that. On the one hand you had unhinged morons making issues of things Mueller clearly dismissed and on the other you have page 955.

@jonathanchait "but Trump was very, very guilty."
False.
#MuellerReport v1 pages 173 and 181.
#SenateIntelReport page 955.
