I told you they wouldn't stop lying about this. And they won't. At stake for them is money and cultural capital. We can' imagine the damage to Taibbi and Greenwald's careers if they admitted that they've been lying to their far-right followers about *every aspect* of the dossier.

On the bright side, as both men are all about money now, I can say what I like and they won't try to contradict the accurate facts I've offered. Why? They don't want to send traffic to another Substack author. Fine by me—I've forgotten more than they ever knew about Trump-Russia.
Imagine doubling and tripling down on something you know is a lie—on the subject of the national security of the United States—because you'd lose your financial backers by the thousands if you (Taibbi and Greenwald) accurately reported on a pressing issue in geopolitics. Amazing.
(PS) Here's my earlier thread on Taibbi, Greenwald, and Steele.
Only one of them is a hero.

(PS2) That thread was a quick look. I didn't touch on the SSCI Report, which includes a witness who overheard two Ritz Moscow bigwigs talking about video of Trump and a group of women in the elevator going to his suite that night. I didn't mention Steele's 2017 work with the FBI.
(PS3) Remember, the position of Trump, Taibbi, and Greenwald is that 100% of the dossier was a deliberate criminal fraud exploited by a universally—across-the-board!—corrupt FBI.
Steele's position? A third of his raw intel was certain to be inaccurate.
We ain't at a third yet.
