Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    emptywheel Retweeted Byron York

    Byron apparently has never read Sally Yates' testimony. Otherwise he wouldn't be this fucking stupid. Or, um. He wouldn't be this gullible.https://twitter.com/ByronYork/status/1003418697933967362 …

    Newly-leaked evidence supports contention that FBI did not believe Michael Flynn lied. Also suggests Trump not only knew that, thought probe was all but over when 'letting this go' conversation with Comey happened. http://ow.ly/JbLd30kjD7B

        This post lays out a lot of the reasons why Byron is painfully stupid to have written that piece. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/06/03/the-giant-holes-in-trumps-mike-flynn-story-point-to-collusion-not-obstruction/ …

        Also, why can't Byron read the report the REPUBLICANS released? Bc his piece is inconsistent with that record. WHYDOESBYRONHATEDEVINNUNES

        What I keep wondering is, Why would Trump need to press Comey to let the Flynn matter go if he thought the investigation was over?

        He wouldn't, and he didn't, this is just nonsense. But,as Marcy noted, Yok is fucking stupid and gullible.

        Well, @ByronYork is just another GOP PR operative posing as a journalist. His piece is a fairly predictable work of fiction.

        No, best part is..... everyone in the comments section are admitting the "let him go" moment. I could have sworn it was the deep state and Comey making it up!

        Sinclair Lewis once said, it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary... All right, come on. IT'S BYRON YORK. He's bullshitting for dollars. The guy stopped caring whether the crap he writes is true while Reagan was still lucid.

        @ByronYork has lost all credibility. He simply parrots what the Kremlin says. He lacks even a modicum of intellectual curiosity or integrity.

        The right is convinced Flynn’s case is about to be dismissed and/or that Comey, et al are going to jail once the IG report comes out. Byron feeds a lot of that thinking.

        It’s really something when it’s tough to differentiate between the propaganda and lies spewed by Russians vs the Republicans and their operatives. Just sickening.

        Seems more like disingenuous bad faith than ignorance or naïveté. York has an audience and he’s feeding them what they want.

        I love that to the MAGAts, the notion of "innocent until proven guilty" extends even beyond when they actually confess and plead guilty. Mind-blowing.
