    He says there was only a single anonymous source.

    So, it's exactly as credible as the "Clinton plans to drone-bomb Assange" claim that about half the people here still believe as a fact.

    Well less credible considering how amazingly stupid it is to suggest that Clinton wanted to bomb an embassy that's in the middle of London...

      How many are there supposed to be?

        Only one but they have to be "familiar with how the person thinks"

          Well, to tell the truth, I believe the Russians did co-sign, but given his deference towards the Saudis, it would seem more plausible they were the real co-signers. Would definitely be nice to see some evidence.

      Easy with the strawman.

      She didn't plan to drone him. She reportedly asked 'can't we just drone this guy?' in a context where she was pushing people to brainstorm ways to eliminate the annoyance of having a free press, whether legal or "nonlegal."

      That's a rhetorical question, not a plan. The point is not that she actually tried to do something so absurd - but that this was the wavelength she was working on. Focused on the result she wanted to achieve, and rather uninhibited in regards to the means used to achieve them. Same old HRC.

      Remember, same HRC that laughed and clapped and gloated when asked about her responsibility for the capture death of Gaddafi. [wikipedia.org]

      Clinton on Qaddafi. [youtube.com]

        When I think "uninhibited" I usually think of nubile young things indulging in alcohol and debauchery. Hillary? Mmmmmm - that's an awful picture.

            I had to look it up, since you didn't use the brand name. Nope - there's not enough of it in the world to make Hillary look good.

        As reported by a single anonymous source as I said before.

        If you can state all these claims as fact then I get to state that the Russians co-signed Trump's loans as a fact.

          Russians and the Saudis. There is no reason to doubt they did sign zee papers. Don't know if The prez even denied it. He just demanded and quickly got a retraction.

          *Co-signed*. It's pure gangsta love, baby.

          And still? There's nobody to stop him

          "If you can state all these claims as fact"

          But I did not do that!

          I said she was reported to have said these things, which is true.

          There's nothing particularly odd about a report based on a single anonymous source in government. Quite the contrary, that's what your mainstream media pumps out constantly.

          We have no guarantee it's true, but it has been credibly reported, and it is absolutely consistent with the woman's known character; ergo it's reasonably credible.

          Not proven fact, no, just reasonably credible.

      Your posts get a little redundant when you rely on those silly sound bites. Hillary said, "Well can't we just drone this guy" - Hillary did not "plan" anything of the sort. She is incapable of actually "planning" anything.

        Trump had Russian Oligarchs co-sign his Deutsche Banks loans.
