Yes, the very same folks who bought Alpha bank story voted to extend sanctions which are largely based on lies of a single man who was hired by Hillary to investigate "alleged" hacking of her mail server.

That sounds reasonable, however, if that is true:
1) Why did it stop when asked about it and get swapped over to another name
2) And when asked again, it was terminated

Because they did not like publicity? after all these are spammers.
And we don't know if any of that actually happened. In fact we can't even be sure that the whole story is not 100% fabrication, because people who supposedly "discovered" it are anonymous, that is unknown to anybody except authors of the article.
But the main thing which pisses me off is the fact that these supposed experts which were mentioned in the article surely had known all that and should have called it BS in no time, but they did not, Makes you wonder why.

Wait, you said that it was a "lie" and it was fact that it was a complete fabrication. It is nice to see that you have conceded that is not the case.

There is a lie and then there is a total 100% fabrication.
A lie in this case is when they know their interpretation of facts is false but they support it anyway.
Total 100% fabrication is when facts are made up to begin with.

Total fabrication?
Why are you asking? Do you think I am some kind of Trump supporter? Why?

Yes I do. As far as what "kind", I'd say non-overt or covert.
Because you sing the same refrain as Trump regarding Russia:
"Let's all get along,
This will make us strong.
Let us keep on lootin'
And lovin' Mr. Putin
There is no damn collusion,
That is all illusion
It's just the left wing newsin'
Causing the confusion"

You are not saying you disagree with anything in the jingle, though. Your slip is showing, as we say...

Everyone is weird in their own way, so what's your point?

I have the full part here. As the man says, who can argue with authentic gibberish (as the investigation reaches a new file).

When are you and your ilk going to understand that your simple excuses even when you pair them with bad memes doesn't make them true. Also, what is it with Trumpies, your memes aren't funny. I'd at least like to give you credit for something, but funny isn't it. I suppose it's because you aren't very inventive. Your excuses are simple, your reasoning is simple, and your humor is simple, just like the simple mind of the man you defend.
Also, has anyone verified we're not foolishly arguing with a bot? It feels like it more and more as of late.

I thought that when I first got here. Then I attributed it to scientology brain-rot. Now I'm inclined to put it down to the undeniable simple fact that simple people... exist.
You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West.

Read this today; thought it was prescient.
"Since in the age of the internet we are all publishers, each of us bears some private responsibility for the public’s sense of truth. If we are serious about seeking the facts, we can each make a small revolution in the way the internet works. If you are verifying information for yourself, you will not send on fake news to others. If you choose to follow reporters whom you have reason to trust, you can also transmit what they have learned to others. If you retweet only the work of humans who have followed journalistic protocols, you are less likely to debase your brain interacting with bots and trolls."
