WashPo’s media critic is writing a series critiquing press coverage of the Steele dossier. Targets include Lawfare, McClatchy, and CNN’s hiring of Andrew McCabe. ⁦@ErikWemple⁩ gives some cover to NYT, too. The dossier was garbage? Who knew? amgreatness.com/2020/01/02/was…
Seven articles in and Wemple has overlooked one major peddler of collusion fiction: His own. Plenty of folks at the Post are just as complicit as Rachel Maddow in legitimizing the dossier:

amgreatness.com/2020/01/02/was…
“Wemple’s series is a compelling if incomplete account of...the worst purveyors of dossier boosterism. In a news industry infested with bad actors who refuse to accept any sort of responsibility for perpetrating the biggest scam in political history, at least that’s something.”

Quick takeaway from Tucker’s monologue: It reflects to a large degree how much the institutions the Right once trusted have burned down their own house. The FBI, CIA, ODNI, and yes, parts of the military, have been corrupted perhaps beyond repair. Tucker asked the questions...
many of us wish we had asked over the past 20 years. But we trusted the Bush/McCain neocon alliance—at our own peril. Iraq/Afghan wars have been failures. The Middle East appears no more stable now than a few decades ago. We keep hearing the same threats and same promises...
Tucker may or may not be accurate in the specifics, but his overall view is worth considering. Millions of Republicans feel burned and betrayed by our blind trust in leaders and institutions unworthy of that fealty. We won’t be fooled again. So, thanks, Bill Kristol.

ICYMI: My take on WashPo’s critique of dossier coverage. It takes aim at all the right targets—Maddow, CNN, Lawfare, McClatchy—but overlooks one major propagandist of dossier-sourced news: The Washington Post. amgreatness.com/2020/01/02/was…
Erik Wemple added another installation to his series yesterday. It’s a damning diary of CNN’s most egregious dossier-defending: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
But, as I explain in my piece, the Post has been no more an honest broker of the dossier and Russian collusion as MSNBC or McClatchy. I emailed Wemple to ask if his own news outlet would be similarly scrutinized. Will update if he responds.

Thanks ⁦@carterwpage⁩ for reminding me of this hit piece on you in August 2016. The article posted a few weeks after Post reporter Tom Hamburger met with Fusion team in Philly at 2016 DNC convention. Simpson told Hamburger all about the dossier: washingtonpost.com/business/econo…
That’s why, as I write here, the @washingtonpost autopsy on the media’s collusion corpse is a nice start but doesn’t include its own insidious role from the start: amgreatness.com/2020/01/02/was…
Clearly the 2,000 word hit piece, which prompted death threats against Carter, was sourced by Fusion and the Steele dossier. I hope @ErikWemple tackles this dossier propaganda soon

Thread: Harold Finch Reads James Clapper’s Body Language (and it’s glorious!)

1. Intrepid independent researcher NameRedacted was suspended multiple times here on Tw@tter for what amounts to hurting the feelings of leftists and challenging their blatant lies.
2. In his last resurrection as “Harold Finch,” he was subsequently suspended and has since moved to Telegram where he runs a repository consisting of important factoids, links, and personal commentary. He can be found here:
web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@The_Li…
3. In that capacity, he posts important threads from time to time that deserve a wider audience. In this instance, he dissected a recent appearance by James Clapper (Obama’s DNI) on Anderson Cooper’s show on CNN.

FISA SHOCKER: DOJ official warned Steele dossier was connected to Clinton, might be biased

James @Comey, Andrew McCabe and top officials at the FBI & DOJ willfully/knowingly committed FISA court fraud in the lead up to the 2016 election to assist Hillary.
thehill.com/opinion/white-…
In testimony before the House Intel committee, Bruce Ohr said he briefed the FBI and other DOJ officials about the Steele Dossier and issued a warning that the intelligence in it was actually oppo-research bought and paid for by Hillary’s campaign and could be tainted with bias.
Remember, Bruce Ohr knew about this Clinton connection. Ohr’s wife Nellie worked w/Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign to put those Russian lies together.

We now know Bruce and his warnings were totally ignored by the FBI. The vary people who signed the FISA application.

Remember the Feb 28 “unity” dinner between AG Jeff Sessions, Deputy AG Director Rod Rosenstein, and Inspector General, Noel Francisco? In light of #McCabe’s firing - this gets a second look.

1/
axios.com/scoop-jeff-ses…
The dinner made headlines for 2 reasons: for appearing to show the top 3 DOJ official in an open display of unity against Trump and because it occurred on the same day as Trump tweeted an “attack” against Jeff Sessions

2/
This followed a previous Trump tweet in another “attack” on Sessions a few days earlier - appearing to blame Sessions for the ongoing investigations into the Trump campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia in the 2016 election.

reportedly, the guy who wrote the 'golden shower' dossier - here pictured with John McCain dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4…
. hmm.. recall: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4…
. so Christopher Steele first passed the info to the FBI and then John McCain passed the same info - but both from same source?
