      No, actually this is Chuck Johnson's lawyer asking to narrow SSCI request to exclude known participants in 2016 op. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/12/28/chuck-johnsons-narrowed-scope-of-what-a-russian-is/ …https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/946130278128455680 …

      SSCI counsel Doss specifically says that the criteria for their investigatory inquiry is whether a person Johnson knows is of "Russian descent"

      Yes. And she specifically says that's a "narrowing" requested by Johnson's lawyer, which you misrepresented as a "clarification."

      Doss herself refers to it as a "clarification." Her "narrowing" of the definition is in response to a request for clarification.pic.twitter.com/Z8Eh5VTSAn

      Yes. But not until after calling it a "narrowing." Again, you're misrepresenting what went on. Congrats to Johnson for making you his dupe.

      Doss might claim it's a "narrowing," but in what conceivable universe does using "Russian descent" as investigatory criteria actually *narrow* the range of the people implicated here? It expands it.

      1) How would the pre-"narrowed" phrase - "Russian persons" - have included Karim Baratov or Ike Kaveladze? 2) How is it "narrowing" the phrase "Russian persons" to include people of "Russian descent"? Sounds like an expansion. 3) Can one object & still hate Chuck Johnson?

      Ultimately this lets the racist define who he believes to be Russian or acting on behalf thereof. And the case can be made for both Ike and Baratov.

          The only one providing a definition of anything here is Doss.
