      Is this really the third commercial break? I'm going to have to get some PHARMA company to sponsor my dossier reporting.

      The truth is WikiLeaks completely buried the most important Podesta emails (on speech transcripts) by posting against Access Hollywood. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/04/06/the-october-non-surprise/ …

      "I was told about the memos in great detail." Trying to adhere to sworn court docs. Not always succeeding.

      Note how Rachel doesn't tell us that reporters [Isikoff had already published off the dossier] were already being briefed in September, meaning RU probably knew if not by June 9.

      Corn suggests he vetted the claims. But then doesn't describe vetting them, at all.

      FACT CHECK. No, the first glimpse was the September Isikoff story.

      Rachel here suggests that Corn's post wasn't a response to Comey reopening investigation. I ... doubt that.

      Hmm. By my count we heard about ~6 dossier reports, maybe. Out of 17. Why don't we hear about the other ones?

      Another report -- the most dubious one!! -- ignored thus far in TRMS entire hour story on this.

      It'd be REALLY awesome for Rachel to report on who gave Buzzfeed this dossier bc Steele has NOT listed them as an official recipient.

          "The question we ask ourselves is why would we keep this from our audience." Trying to help out Buzzfeed's lawsuits. But @BuzzFeedBen really underplays the obvious errors.

          Note how Rachel is NOT comparing the dossier w/known contemporaneous events? There's a reason for that.

          Here's something it'd be fun to see a partisan outlet to cover: How Manafort worked w/WH to respond to this.

          Here's something else it'd be fun to see: reporting on the provenance problems surrounding the dossier as released.

          Again, this dood is not reviewing the dossier as compared to known events.

          All Rachel's British sources look like they've lived on Martinis since 1992.

          "It would be up to investigators to sort it out." Aren't YOU, Rachel Maddow, an investigator?

          Apparently if you cover the dossier credulously you can access unlimited amount of commercial support. I realize I'm doing it wrong.

          Why are you and others like Rep Jordan so hung up on the dossier? Trump-Russia is real. The dossier is irrelevant.

          4 indictments on Team Hillary and they’d have burned her at the stake.

          No indictment/plea which accords with the dossier.
