It occurred to me that one of the dishonest things about @marcthiessen’s column that I pointed out yesterday was actually even more egregious and is another affirmative factual error (a charitable word choice) that the WP should correct./15

When he backed his criticism of the FBI's decision to open a full investigation by misleadingly citing a passage about warrant renewal applications, Thiessen inserted "[the Trump campaign]” into a quote from the report. In context, "the target" instead meant Carter Page./16 
Ironically, this comes in the same graph that falsely says the FBI presented a doctored email to the FISA court as evidence. That's wrong–it was not shown to the court–but Thiessen himself demonstrably presented a falsely doctored Durham report quote to WP readers as evidence./17
Indeed, Thiessen's quotation of the report's words "both then and in hindsight" to characterize the FBI's decision to open a full inquiry in July 2016 is also dishonest because in context, "then" was 2017, when the FBI renewed the Page FISA warrants after talking to Danchenko./18
I have submitted a formal corrections request about all these matters to corrections@washpost.com. Let's see what happens. /19
