"Steele Dossier" revelations, Danchenko and connection to Clinton. Some journalists are finally taking note, like Jonathan here.
The activists on the left came up with interesting counter-narrative. Let's investigate.

Lefty activists' counter-narrative, part 1:
"the information was accurate, it was just passed through unexpected channels".
Wow, a barefaced assertion of "nothing to see here". Of course the information was bogus.
3/
"Trump did worse by sharing *muh confidential data*". It's a weird one; as far as I can tell it hinges on The Guardian (lol) reporting.
4/
Back in 2020, The Guardian (lol) posted a hit piece stuffed to brim with keywords. "Willingness to pass on confidetnial material to alleged Moscow agents".
Note the hedging.
5/
"Confidential material", discussed in context of then-President, and in context of national security. Wow.
It was Trump's campaign's internal data, polling conducted pre-election, confidential to the campaign itself only. But all the scary keywords still in play in 2021
6/
The current outrage over "Steele Dossier" and "Trump Russia" hoaxes is *at the press*, which back then did spread those in attempt to sink Trump, and also decorated themselves "defenders of truth".
The leftist activists & the media pretend there's no outrage. Jim got it right
