    emptywheel Retweeted Chuck Ross

    Chuck's just being obtuse here. I've been very clear that his sources (downstream from the WH, incidentally) are not Nunes. But the claim that GOP is not extorting and issuing threats is dishonest tripe.https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/1014328946266025984 …

    emptywheel added,

    Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC
    Democrats and liberal pundits have done a good job of portraying House GOP and Nunes as leakers of the Stefan Halper info, but that's just not how it went down.

        I think it's clear that Chuck's sources were a friend of Papadopoulos (I think his wife) and Carter Page. They simply passed along what they thought were their odd interactions with Halper. They didn't *know* he was an informant. It wasn't until FBI/DOJ leakers confirmed it.

        Chuck's sources include Sam Clovis, who for a week shared an attorney with Donald Trump.

        Yes, and like Papadopoulos and Page, Halper reached out to Clovis. He simply relayed his interaction with Halper, after Chuck's March Papadopoulos/Halper story. Again, there's nothing to suggest that Clovis *knew* Halper was an informant.

        As one after another of his counter-narratives has been discredited, Chuck’s default setting has become deliberately obtuse.

        If it weren't for "being obtuse and dishonest" then Chuck would have very little to keep busy with all day. The guy's a crank.

        The Nunes effort at FBI pushback resulted from the Cohen flip. See if the timeline of Cohen partner previous flip matches up. Cohen likely flipped before Don knew, likely talked with his "best people" on a wire. The GOP closed ranks on this.
