It’s never a good look when journalists fight in public about who should be crediting whom. But @JasonLeopold has a righteous case in this instance. He and @a_cormier_ kicked ass on this story and a bunch of papers are being churlish and stupid.
By the way, they also kicked ass on some other very important stories—particularly involving money flows—and a lot of people kind of ignored them.

In one case that comes to mind, people actively dismissed a money transfer story that was damn interesting. If memory serves, I actually spent some time defending that piece’s importance at the time.
Bottom line is this: their stories on Trump Tower Moscow, money flows, and Felix Sater have all been way ahead of the game. People should take their work seriously when it comes out.
And other reporters should be crediting them in retrospect.
