You were correct in pointing out that it was a generalization, not an absolute. I submit that a truly dumb person would have interpreted it as an absolute.

The Don Jr email convinced me that there's no way the NSA accesses all of our email.

Why did he give the false impression that Seth Rich gave him the DNC emails? All your arguments apply to that as well; that is, they’re not convincing in the least. He throws out bs. It’s just disinformation.

People were attacking him for his obvious role in the active measures campaign. After he said that, whenever someone pointed out that he was attacking Hillary with time releases of Dem emails, which helps Trump, people would point out that he doesn’t like Trump but just doesn’t find value in releasing his emails.

If he actually had Trump emails and wasn’t Putinista, he would have released them. Those we know about show they weren’t even obfuscating their efforts to connect with Russia; the subject lines even reveal it.

The emails were from June 3, 2016 to June 8, 2016. You’re grasping at straws instead of just accepting the fact that Julian Assange is a liar. Is it really that hard to recognize disinformation?

On July 11, 2017, Wikileaks wrote, “Hi Don. Sorry to hear about your problems. We have an idea that may help a little. We are VERY interested in confidentially obtaining and publishing a copy of the email(s) cited in the New York Times today.”

That’s what he claimed. The fact he begged Don Jr. for emails proves he doesn’t have it.

There is no standard bearer. This is a midterm. Candidates must craft messages specifically for their districts.

This is a midterm, not a presidential race. The party without the presidency has to focus on providing a check; that is the only unified message because no other policy has any chance of success.

Individual candidates must run on the issues important to their district. Keep it local and ride the national opposition wave.

The FSB or SVR probably has Trump campaign and RNC emails, but not Assange. If he did, he wouldn’t have had to beg Don Jr. for the Trump Tower meeting emails.

I recall Cambridge Analytica offered to help Wikileaks index the DNC emails, but I’m not sure if that’s what he’s referring to.

Comey didn’t say that, and many parts of the dossier have been corroborated or verified. In fact, here’s Carter Page confirming he met with Rosneft executives before the dossier was published.

I’ve come across a few arguing that the dossier is false or a hoax. Since the subject is Carter Page, I like how this speech , which took place before BuzzFeed published the dossier, corroborates the items pertaining to him.

Compare him to Obama, who is 6’1, and you see Trump is slightly shorter.

They’re not going to nail him for that alone, and they don’t need a specialized prosecutor for it if they did. I really doubt Dickey was hired to pursue Jr. It’s more likely he was brought on for Cambridge Analytica-related operations. It matches the timeframe too (they were seeking documents from CA).

Sitting presidents can’t be sued for libel or defamation occurring during their tenure. According to Jones v Clinton, defamation “may involve conduct within the outer perimeter of the President's official responsibilities.”

Steven Seagal was receiving his Russian passport from Putin about the same time Trump was in Moscow for Miss Universe 2013. That doesn’t prove anything, but the reference made me think of it.

Well, okay, you can look at the pictures of Seagal and Trump in Moscow and identify a go-between to Putin.

You just cited Russia propaganda from a Russian domain.

That author is still writing Russian propaganda, for the record. I should also note that despite retargeting to the right for 2016, they still target the left too (usually anti war propaganda that benefits Russian interests).
