It's not about believing; it's about needing it to be so. It's sad how there's an entire class of putzes.

This new revelation should be end all of Russia hoax and result in immediate release of Butina. But I'm calling it now it won't. The retarded 4ussiagaters and deep state will keep quiet or even spin this shit and even something bad might happen to the CEO

[Winehole23]

I wonder why he didn't take the one billion dollar bribe from the Deep State to stay mum. Byrne also talks about espionage directed against HRC, Rubio and Cruz, and says he feels responsible in some way for El Paso.

Wild stuff.

Lemon & Fredo didn't know whether to shit, or, go blind last nite over this materiel. Lemon, actually went pale.

"I was a one man Occupy Wall Street 05 to 08"

[Winehole23]

What is it Byrne did again? He doesn't really say anything beyond that he was encouraged to have a relationship with Butina.

[Winehole23]

Byrne also says Butina was being groomed to be president of Russia.

[Winehole23]

I would say it's hard to believe y'all give this guy any credence at all, but it's not surprising. Anything that flatters your priors is subject to FAKE BOOM.

[Thread]

He said "Comey"PERIOD

[Winehole23]

He said "Comey"PERIODHe said HRC was spied on too, but as I recall, the only FBI name he gave out in that interview was Strzok.

Did you watch it, Thread?

[Spurminator]

Some of you guys watch some incredibly stupid bullshit.

[Winehole23]

BYRNE: Let me give you the bottom line up front. So, listen, I’m a -- I’m a hippie. I have nothing to do with the feds. I’m a flag-waving hippie.

[Winehole23]

It was on Fox that Byrne mentioned Comey. The Fox and CNN interviews are very similar, wacky as Byrne is, he seems to be following a script:


BYRNE: Let me emphasize, don't say the FBI. The FBI is barely involved in this. It’s all at the top.

The "men in black," as I called them, showed up and asked for this third favor. And I -- well, anyway, I’m not going to go into the details right now, but I didn't know who sent the orders, but I did them last -- they seemed fishy, last summer watching television and here's the punch line -- here’s the punch line, people, last summer watching television and some congressional hearings, I figured out where those orders came from. It came from a guy named Peter Strzok.

And well, three staff (ph) -- Carlin, McCabe, Comey, that was who sent the orders. And …

MACCALLUM: Well, you're naming a bunch of FBI people there.

BYRNE: Well, the -- Peter Strzok, and it’s been confirmed to me that my instructions came from Peter Strzok, that the people who carried me orders were coming ..

[Pavlov]

CNN: Unemployed Man Says "Main Event" Multiple Times

[Winehole23]

BYRNE: Some of it involved setting up Hillary Clinton for what looked like -- and -- looked like law enforcement, it was actually setting her up to be blackmailed. I had helped them set up Hillary Clinton to be blackmailed.

MACCALLUM: What was the nature of the blackmail?

BYRNE: I can’t go into it. And so I’ve already -- I’m sure there’s a bunch of people in Washington who are going to rip me apart, and I have actually been warned. I was warned last October from a friendly person -- Patrick, if you come forward, this entire town of Washington is going to destroy you. It’s going to turn you into dust.

I would say it's hard to believe y'all give this guy any credence at all, but it's not surprising. Anything that flatters your priors is subject to FAKE BOOM.

It's a fact he dated her during that time as confirmed by Butinas lawyer. I'd say he's believable.

And about being groomed for pres. I don't see anything wild about that. Thousand of Americans right now are being groomed for president by their mentors who might or might not be connected to US government

I seriously doubt the OP and his stans did.

Byrne lost a defamation suit in Canada related to his Deep Capture reporting. Seems he had a penchant for making shit up about his competitors and personal enemies.

[Winehole23]

Some of you guys watch some incredibly stupid bullshit.Walls of Jericho: BOOM!

[DarrinS]

Wtf

[Pavlov]

:lol Every time anyone calls him on his shit he says he can't get into it.

You don't become CEO by not telling a lie. I am not saying I believe him 100%. But given he knew butina during those times I don't see it as a wild statement that FBI requested him to work as informant

[Winehole23]

[in2deep]

Byrne's lack of personal credibility certainly gives the MIB plausible deniability. :lol

The same can be said about Clapper(lied in congress) yet CNN has him as security advisor.

Same can be said about Trump, Hillary, etc.

Most of these politicians, mibs have a big credibility problem as well.

So again I say it's very possible this happened as this CEO describes.

You cant claim the plausible deniability card when your own credibility is shot to hell and you have been found out acting shady in that same context (ztork texts, etc)

[Pavlov]

So I watched the CNN and Fox interviews.

Still have no idea what his conspiracy theory is.

[Thread]

Did you watch it, Thread?

Most of it. Fredo & Don were running fast as they could; talking over one another, not breathing properly, bug eyed,,,nervous as 2 queers at a wiener roast, so worried that their shit could get wrecked & they'd end up tossed down a flight of subway stairs.

[boutons_deux]

and why Byrne?

My guess is the FBI had serious suspicion, evidence, about the Russian spy, but wanted one more guy to fuck her and get final evidence.

but why Byrne?

[Winehole23]

put it in a nutshell for us, Thread.

[Pavlov]

How would you recap that for us? It barely made sense to me.No one is going to take you up on that. It just sounds like he got caught fucking a spy and is rationalizing his ass off after the feds told him he was fucking a spy.

so, what's the story?

"Comey."

I don't know, Pav's:::Fredo looked more upset than when that guy called him "Fredo" & Don turned white.

No one is going to take you up on that. It just sounds like he got caught fucking a spy and is rationalizing his ass off after the feds told him he was fucking a spy.

Except we don't know if she was a spy. She was not convicted for being a spy, just for not registering as a foreign agent.

Foreign agent does not = spy

[in2deep]

and why Byrne?

My guess is the FBI had serious suspicion, evidence, about the Russian spy, but wanted one more guy to fuck her and get final evidence.

but why Byrne?

Again she was not convicted for being a Russian spy. :rolleyes

she was a foreign agent

she did not register as one. ergo she kept it a secret

foreign agents have to register as such. by not registering, she kept it a secret. its really simple

So u really are stupid.

She pleaded guilty to not registering as a foreign agent and was convicted of it. Not a spy not a secret agent :lol:lol you don't even know to what charge she pleaded guilty.

Get back to me when you figure it out. You're coming off as incredibly stupid right now.

She is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/26/us/politics/maria-butina-trump.html)after pleading guilty to conspiring to act as a foreign agent,

in connection with her efforts to infiltrate conservative political circles before and after the 2016 presidential election.

The closeout store he took control of in 1999 for a mere $7 million was on its way to becoming an e-tailing phenom and eventually came to command a market capitalization of $2.2 billion.

But in the hyper-competitive digital age, disruptive business models don’t last long, and today Overstock—once an innovator—is a has-been.

This isn’t any secret.

By the time of his resignation, Byrne had all but given up trying to compete with the likes of Amazon and Wayfair, and

he had spent the last two years unsuccessfully attempting to unload Overstock’s retail business.

Byrne funneled Overstock’s dwindling resources into blockchain ventures—more than $200 million since 2014.

Byrne attracted an eclectic mix of allies to his corner doing what he calls “God’s work,” ranging from Akon and the World Bank to the infamous short-seller Marc Cohodes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8f5rGAr3fA) and the city of Denver.

Once reliably profitable, Overstock lost $206 million last year and $110 million in 2017. In recent months, Byrne fired some 400 people.
