Because those so-called intellectuals are not actually that smart, most of them are cowards with no balls. They get their friends to high five their ideas which in essence a "peer-review" that confirms their bias.
Obama always said he was the smartest man in any room he walked into, and that he could also do everyone else job. But at least he had the balls to run for office and get the only thing that matters in political office, votes and voter turnout.
Break your post down to just KMC only
Robtard, Whirly and one or two others are only here to stroke each other's ego, get the high fives, and when they get challenged, answer questions with questions, and then keep copying and pasting the same thing over and over until it divulges into nothingness.
Back to your outline, people are always quick to Monday morning quaterback. The so called intellectuals thought they could set Trump up in 2016 by getting the American people to believe Carter Paige was a Russian agent.
To get that to happen, they had to forge evidence and lie to the FISA court. The fall guy for that operation is currently awaiting federal sentencing. More shoes are dropping as well.
As it also came out, Steele used Russian propaganda gined up by Russian sources to fabricate a ludicrous dossier, paid for by Hillary Clinton and delivered to the FBI by John McCain, people here Like Whirly and Robtard and millions of other dumbasses still believe into this day, hence the "oh it will all come out after the election when there is a real investigation!!"
