Another possibility is that he knows how phony “intel” - like a dossier claiming a pee tape and years-old Trump-Russia conspiracy - can be concocted. Also consider the possibility that this is reality, not a spy movie.https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/1018889043424227328 …

the "spy movie" comment was snarky and unnecessary, and I apologize.
-
The entire thing was snarky. You are being a clown. If that's the role you want to play, by all means play it, but expect to be treated accordingly.
-
i hope we can talk out the issues -- the substantive ones -- in an interview.
-
Why would I do that? Again, if you want to play court jester, you should be treated as such.
-
i can only apologize again for the comment. The substantive point I raised is that I think Putin was referring to Steele dossier, not confirming he has kompromat. I know you've long questioned the dossier but I don't take it as established fact that Putin has other kompromat.
-
Given the circles Trump did business with for years, it strikes me as unlikely Putin is unaware of at minimum illegal business deals. Maybe not established fact, but the odds are high.

But he is Marcy. A lot of intel types in the US thought the dossier was bogus too. What's so outlandish about Putin coming to the same conclusion on the same grounds they did?
-
Aaron is not as stupid as you. He knows I've questioned the dossier longer than them. But he also knows there's actual kompromat.
-
I didn't think when I woke up this morning that Marcy Wheeler would call me stupid. Huh. Let me ask, what is the actual 'kompromat'?
