As I said earlier this week, for Russiagate -- especially the US media -- there is no rock bottom. There's a lot more corrections to be made. mate.substack.com/p/russiagate-h…
The Post's 2017 story that @SergeiMillian was a dossier source was based on 2 sources. One now says the story is "in grave doubt." The other declined the Post's request for comment. According to @SergeiMillian, that latter source is Christopher Steele:
1/ David McCloskey is a former CIA analyst on Syria & author of "Damascus Station", a new spy thriller drawing on his experience.
We did a long interview that I think upends conventional narratives around the 10-year Syria war. thegrayzone.com/2021/11/09/fmr…
Some highlights:
2/ I asked ex-CIA analyst David McCloskey if there was any debate over the fact that, as Jake Sullivan told Hillary Clinton in Feb 2012, "Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria." Heavy US weaponry even ended up in AQ's hands.
Were there any misgivings about siding with Al Qaeda?
3/ Ex-CIA analyst David McCloskey: the US effectively siding with Al Qaeda in Syria was "a tremendously problematic aspect of the conflict."
.@ErikWemple is holding Steele dossier dupes accountable. But in the process he tries to make other Russiagate fiction look credible, e.g. the Senate Intel report. Like Steele, that report makes outlandish, unsupported claims undermined by the available evidence.
Senate Intel's biggest "finding" is that K. Kilimnik is a Russian spy, a claim Mueller & FBI never made. For good reason: it's a joke, as all the evidence shows.
New @PushbackShow: Former House Intel investigator Kash Patel, who helped expose the Steele dossier fraud, on Steele's return and the overlooked, suspicious role of another Clinton campaign contractor, CrowdStrike, which accused Russia of hacking the DNC.
FBI's use of a Clinton-hired fabulist, Christopher Steele, is understood to be a scandal.
It hasn't sunk in that FBI's use of another Clinton contractor, CrowdStrike, for the Russian hacking allegation, is a scandal too. I suspect that'll change.
Here's how Comey explained it:
Former House Intel investigator Kash Patel on the FBI's failure to directly investigate the DNC servers: "When we asked them why... They just said: 'CrowdStrike's great. We can trust them.'"
Biden, picking up Trump's baton, has kidnapped Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab for the crime of trying to feed Venezuelans in defiance of US sanctions designed to prevent that.
Venezuelans aren't allowed to eat so long as the D.C. Mafia has marked their gov't for regime change.
I wish I could tell the Amy Goodman I once worked for, and learned a lot from, that a future Amy Goodman would be approvingly airing *full CNN reports* on @democracynow about an African country targeted by the US government.
CNN journalist reports that her questionable story that Ethiopia's civilian airliner is smuggling weapons -- credulously aired and promoted on @democracynow -- is now leading the US government to consider "the use of targeted economic sanctions."
