(1) My brain is weird sometimes. Like, really really weird. It gets off on pattern-obsessed tangents sometimes. Today, the Pissgate Dossier, or "How I Realized a Fuckton of People Are Lying."
(2) Lying about what, you ask? And why the hell am I thinking about this? Well, let me take you down the trainwreck of thoughts.
(3) as @Thomaswictor stated, anyone could have told people the pissgate dossier was written by some couchsurfing netflix enthusiast
(4) And I almost followed that up with, "Yeah, I'm pretty sure 4chan wrote it!" But, stopped to fact check myself first. Thats right, preemptively fact checking myself before tweeting. Imagine that.
(5) gizmodo.com/4chan-idiots-c… So on my initial search, ALL OF THE MEDIA REPORTS ABOUT 4CHAN AND THE PISSGATE DOSSIER LOOKED LIKE THAT.
(6) As in, they were all dated around the 10th of January, they flooded search results on google, and they all called bullshit. Huh.
(7) The claims that a user from 4chan was responsible for part of the dossier came from these posts archive.is/HT1nb
(8) Note the name: Rick Wilson. Now, he had already had feuds with 4chan before, for full disclosure, but the key claim is that the user fed stories to Rick Wilson who slapped the Russian spy label on it and passed it off as intel
(9) 4channers believed Rick Wilson passed the information directly to the CIA. This was impossible to prove. But lookie here at this NYT article from the same early January time period mobile.nytimes.com/2017/01/11/us/…
(10) In it, Rick Wilson claims he had heard about the dossier back in July. The allegations that the 4chan user claimed to have fed Rick Wilson were on a memo dated in June documentcloud.org/documents/3259…
(11) The common belief is that Clinton and the DNC hired Fusion GPS and by extension Steele in April 2016, a month before Trump was the clear winner washingtonpost.com/world/national…
(12) washingtonexaminer.com/washington-fre… The Washington Free Beacon, for its part, claims that it stopped working with Fusion GPS after Trump won the nomination
(13) So, that should be it right? 4chan user in November of 2016 says he fed parts of the dossier to Rick Wilson, liberal media calls bullshit, there's no connection between Rick Wilson and Fusion GPS
(14) OR IS THERE?!?!?
(15) washingtonexaminer.com/washington-fre…
One of the main funders of the Washington Free Beacon, Paul Singer, is generally attributed as having spearheaded getting Fusion GPS involved in the first place
One of the main funders of the Washington Free Beacon, Paul Singer, is generally attributed as having spearheaded getting Fusion GPS involved in the first place
(16) Paul Singer was an avid Anti-Trumper. Who did he back? Marco Rubio. opensecrets.org/news/2015/11/h…
(17) "But we already knew that!" Did you also know Rick Wilson was backing Marco Rubio? time.com/4106999/marco-…
(18) Note that until October 2017, we had NO IDEA Paul Singer and the WFB initially employed Fusion GPS
(19) So now we have someone a 4chan user claimed to have provided bullshit claims to, who was on the same side as the person who initially hired Fusion GPS
(20) "But Clinton and the DNC funded the dossier!" Really? And Rick Wilson and other never-Trumpers had ZERO involvement in that?
(21) The dossier in its final form wasn't even half done yet when Rick Wilson claims he 'heard about it'
(22) And now, we find out a major Rubio backer, Paul Singer, who worked with Rick Wilson and his super PACs initially hired Fusion GPS!
(23) Wilson -> Singer -> Fusion GPS -> Hillary. Pretty small proven degrees of separation there.
(24) This is getting a bit long, but let me drop one more bit of knowledge to you. Steele was a former spy. He COULDNT go to Russia for the dossier research
(25) Everything he put together was secondhand through intermedaries contacting people in Russia
(26) Now, the theory, everything preceding this is verified true from public sources
(27) That 4chan user was telling the truth. He fed bullshit stories to Rick Wilson, who either handed them to Fusion GPS himself or through Singer sometime early-mid 2016
(28) These claims had the Russian spy label slapped on them, and were peddled as an intelligenxe dossier
(29) That means: Never-Trumpers like Singer and Wilson are lying and were actively working with the Clintons after Trump won the nomination
(30) Fusion GPS and Steele are lying about some of the sourcing for the memos
(31) And EVERYONE in the liberal media and the establishment are lying about the history of the Dossier and how deeply the GOP and the Democrats were working together against Trump. /end
