    What is your basis for calling Senator Grassley a liar?

    Using a 3rd party or in this case 3rd and 4 parties to hide a transfer of money that legally should have been reported is money laundering. Same thing Monifort just pled guilty to

    No, it means that in your source, Grassley was giving his personal opinion at the time. After looking at releasing the transcript, the Committee voted not to for the reason given in my link.

    Ok. The committee decided not to release the transcript with or without a vote. Did any Democrat on the committee ask for a vote on releasing the transcript? You should ask them to..

    Well, because it's pretty clear that somebody is lying and it seems to be more likely that it's Grassley.

    JakeStarkey said: Thank you for showing us that you don't understand billing by an opfor firm.

    Windigo = Shut up! Cite the ****ing law and it isn't enough. Like you even know what the hell you are talking about. You are just going to always say nuh uh because you are a 30 something melenial in your parents basement. I don't give a damn what you think. I don't like you and I sure as hell don' respect you or your opinion.

    JakeStarkey = I will agree with you when you are correct. In this case, you are not. I do know what I am talking about, and I am quite sure that you do not and the guy who is feeding you from propagit central does not know or does not care if he is right.

    Windigo, = ]No you don't. The laws says they have to name the person and services. They didn't. Oposition research is not "legal services" they broke the law. Fusion GPS helped them break the law. That is criminal conspiracy.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    I had to post the string in order to show Windigo's silliness in order to try to win an argument the which he has no chance of doing. I bolded the above that he included, along with the rest that he snipped. The billing was indeed done legally. Anyone who understands the law knows that Fusion did nothing illegal.

    Windigo does not know in the slightest what he is talking about.

    If that were the case, sure. But it was legal, it was not laundering money, and you are engaged in criminal libel. Please show us exactly where Fusion has been charged with such a crime.

    Kind of hard to follow when you can't use the quote feature.

    The DNC hired fission through their law firm. Fission knew that the DNC was the real client. They just admitted it in their OP ED. Helping the DNC knowingly violate FEC reporting requirements is criminal conspiracy.

    Lol. That's complete bull****.

    You obviously have no idea what "money laundering" is. You should ask someone in the Trump Admin. They have decades of experience.

    Really? Since any member of a committee can request a vote on whether to release transcripts, what Democrat asked for a vote on releasing these transcripts and what was the vote?

    Monifort just pled guilty to moving money to avoid reporting it as procedes from lobbying for a foreign government.

    Basically exactly what the DNC did to avoid reporting their payment to Fusion GPS.

    Either they laundered money or you are a hypocrite. Take your pick genius.

    Christopher Steele and his company are not. Fusion was just a middleman.

    None of that is illegal. Nothing you have posted possibly shows that it is illegal.

    No court will buy "The Windigo theory as praxis."

    Now we will watch Windigo begin a tautological stroll of insistence he is right because he is right.

    NO, Fusion is a US company, and they used sources. Those sources are not tied in ay way to the Clinton campaign.

    NOW, that being said, Steel was a BRITISH citizen with expertise in Russian affairs. So if your contention is that Hillary used a foreign government to gain "dirt" on an opponent, then you will easily be able to explain, and call for locking up Don Jr's visiting with a russian representative for the very same thing ?
