*Trump partisan sycophant, who Trump nominated to his position does a thing*
Aha, it's clear that this guy is a rogue Deep State saboteur. A principled peace-man like Trump (who I do not support) would never!
Lol even the very article Glem cites explicitly says that Trump was the one who ordered but he is so pathologically wedded to the Trump Innocent narrative, he has to create some laughable 'Deep State' conspiracy.
During the good ol' "Russia Hoax" days, Glem used to knock all the people who took 'thinly sourced' stories like this one as blind partisans who would believe anything.......and in arguing with one of the authors of this piece, no less. But this one is different (confirms biases)
Again, it's clear who this story is about.......Joe Biden. And uhh the deep state but not Donald Trump. Maybe Obama, but definitely not Donald Trump.
Again, if you are taking this story at face value, this is just a straight up lie. The story says Trump was the one who suggested 'assassinating' Assange (in a non-interventionist manner) & The Deep State laughed it off as ridiculous.
Grim & Glem just can't stop lying.
And again, this is the type of sourcing that Glenn & co immediately wrote off as garbage nonsense during the Russia saga, when it went against his narrative. When it's something useful, well then it's just total fact.
You guys know who the real journalistic hero of this story is? That's right, it's Tucker Carlson, of course.

It's just so laughable to say people were mad at those 'who dared suggest Biden was slipping after the debate'.
I was mad at people like your buddy Cosplay Camo Hat Professor dude and Nate Silver who constantly over-inflated every Biden gaffe, every Politico background anon-sourced hit piece -acting like it was the only story that mattered.
Who acted like this, every time Alex Thompson published some bullshit story
And man...I sure do feel like I got that right, because literally none of these guys even mention Trump's age/cognitive decline now. Even though they played a big part in making Biden's age the only story that mattered in the election where we got the oldest president elected who is ACTUALLY demented.
The Pod Save Bros acted like massive dickheads throughout the Biden admin, but no more so after the debate. They didn't just merely 'suggest Biden was slipping', they were gleefully behaving like assholes and treating Biden like shit. Their behavior was awful and they clearly had some sort of personal axe to grind from the admin time with Biden (and his people).
They also worked hand in hand with Alex Thompson to push his stories and then promote their total failure of a book. Again, massive egos, massive dickheads. x.com/SER1897/status…
Remember when this guy scheduled a discussion with @neeratanden about this race and then weirdly disappeared (and/or chickened out) and then blamed her for it, while proceeding to have a 24 hour meltdown?
Oh and then he just demanded that she disclose her ties to the Janet Mills campaign. To get 'all of our biases & allegiances out on the table.'
Why would he randomly accuse someone of secretly working with a campaign, you wonder? Certainly no projection going on there...no, sir.
I've moved on from thinking that this guy is just a weird, twerpy dude to the assumption that he is purely bad faith.
He has been shown multiple times that things he posted were lies and refused to acknowledge or correct them. Not really anything else you can take from that, tbh.
Yes, it was incredibly meek and buried at the end of the tweet but he did it! It took a year and a half but it seems like has finally noticed that Trump is a demented old man (kind of).
The issue with Fetterman v Lamb was not an issue of 'progressive' ideology, it was a matter of ignoring numerous red flags that he was a very 'off' person not suited for congress, mainly b/c people fell in love with his aesthetic
One of the first major "red flags" about Fetterman that I called out years ago was his behavior wrt to the jogger incident.
He did something that was so self-evidently wrong but rather than apologize or take accountability, just pushed through & refused to admit to being wrong.
It should have been really easy to do, but he wouldn't do it.
Pretty obvious parallels to Platner's defense of the Nazi tattoo (a clear, insult-to-your intelligence lie) & his defense of his reddit posts ('i was an angry troop').
Anyway, this is all going to go fine. For sure!
The Left desperately wants to pretend they were all completely duped by him and he suddenly changed after the stroke, but the truth is that there were numerous red flags that were there if you wanted to see them. But his aesthetic!!
Would just like to note that back in Oct I pointedly asked @jonfavs what the Pod Bros relationship w/ Platner campaign was and he gave me a whole big, indignant," How DARE you, sir!" response.
And now, faced with another Nazi 'controversy' they rush out another softball intvw.
It strained credulity to believe that there was no actual relationship and 'just wanting to keep an open mind.' Now, it's just completely obvious that John was just straight up lying about it.
I mean, it was obvious then too, but now it's just comically obvious.
