While decrying conspiracy theories, @OliverDarcy claims Nunes’ FISA abuse memo & McCabe’s criminal behavior were both unfounded. Reminder that the DoJ IG detailed over many hundreds of pages that both were very real indeed

@oliverdarcy Oliver further claims the Obama Admin’s FISA abuse is a “conspiracy theory” that “collapsed” after news the DoJ will reportedly not charge anyone for improperly unmasking names. Again, the DoJ has already documented the abuse; the FBI apologized and promised agency-wide reform.

@oliverdarcy But Oliver’s gaslighting machine is just warming up. He pivots to NY Post story, falsely “reporting" Biden’s camp said the meeting never took place (they only said it wasn’t in his official calendar), that they weren't reached for comment, and the emails’ providence “strange"

@oliverdarcy After having twisted the Biden camp’s comments into something more than they were, Oliver thinks he’s now proven this story is “disinformation” — what? where? — and applauds social media for suppressing it.

@oliverdarcy Most incredible of all, Oliver, perhaps responding to my tweet yesterday, insists that social media’s smothering of a completely legit news article damaging to the Dem frontrunner “is not evidence of an anti-conservative Big Tech bias.”

@oliverdarcy Oliver's going to heroic lengths to distract from the reality that the emails CAME FROM HUNTER’s OWN LAPTOP. Not even the Biden camp is denying the story. Instead, having cast shade upon its sourcing, Oliver pronounces this another “conspiracy theory.”

@oliverdarcy Here’s a so-called journalist using his perch at CNN to help the Democratic frontrunner avoid scrutiny into blatant conflicts of interest & past misstatements, all while countenancing social media’s smothering of his media colleagues’ reporting. This is activism, not journalism.
