And I'm sure you know what hearsay is. None of what the Aussie said would stand up in court and Papadopolous would not be in trouble if there wasn't independent evidence.

LOL....do you even know WHY popadopoulos is in trouble??

Hint: It has nothing to do with what the Aussie overheard.

You're the one who brought the Aussie up.

I would ask what your point is (again), but obviously you have none and you just like the sounds of your angry fingers banging on your keyboard.

The point is, that the subject of Popadopolous's drunken rantings is not a criminal offense. He's allowed to know people, even if they are Russian. If he is offered dirt on the opposition, he's allowed to take it. Your point about "hearsay", "independent evidence", and the Aussie's statements 'holding up in court' suggests that you are under the impression that Pops is in trouble for his Russian dealings.

That's probably the message kicking around your liberal echo-chamber, but it's not even close to accurate.

Which is exactly what I said. But you were all 'duh, no what you mean?!!?!!'

What is he in trouble for in your Fox News parallel universe - being a Trump supporter?

My understanding is he's in trouble for lying to the FBI.

No, you said that his drunken rantings are hearsay, and unusable in court. And that there must be other independent evidence (presumably related to the drunken rantings) in order for Pops to be in trouble. But actually Pops is in trouble for something else entirely.

My understanding is he's in trouble for lying to the FBI.

Right, the FBI hauled him in and basically told him "you can answer our questions and torpedo your career by putting the stink of Russia all over yourself. Or you can try and lie"

Which undermines your whole complaint that the Aussie diplomat was biased.

Fuck you must get dizzy from spinning around in circles.

He'd have to be self-aware to realize he's the one spinning, so no, I doubt he gets dizzy.

Dude...what is wrong with your brain??

A) The FBI launches a counter-intelligence investigation based on eyewitness accounts of an Australian diplomat

B) The FBI launches a counter-intelligence investigation based on eyewitness accounts of an Australian diplomat with a 25 million dollar bias

See the difference??

Now I don't know how you got on to the subject of hearsay, and courts, and independent evidence. Nothing Pops did or said in this sequence of events is even remotely illegal.
