      1 of 2 / I don't purport to have as much info and expertise as you -- in fact I don't have *any* expertise. But there's been enough false reporting to justify consideration of an alternative explanation that the NYT may have been willingly manipulated by

      2 of 2 / sources who wanted to protect the dossier against allegations that it was cause of the investigation.

      Sure. Except the record suggests something else happened. So to make you're argument you're deliberately ignoring the record.

      Here, I'll teach you. Go to the article and find where the NYT describes its sources. I'll wait.

      1of2: Here are the sources that NYT cites when asserting that Papadopoulos, not dossier was trigger of the investigation: Paras 7-8 No sources Para 35 No sources Paras 36-37 "current and former officials" Para 40 "American officials"

      2of2: Tell me why it's unreasonable to surmise that these officials might be one and the same as those officials who sought to prevent the House Intel committee from receiving the documents on the Steele dossier.

      Partly bc they ID them as officials, often a description for MoC? Also don't ignore the Australian side of this, the foreign officials.

      Scott Ritter has a piece out where he says 21,800 of 27,500 emails released by Wikileaks were written *after* Papadopoulos-Mifsud conversation on April 26, suggesting that *all* emails obtained by Wikileaks were accessed by leaker or hacker after April 26http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/in-the-russian-collusion-debate-whos-fooling-who/ …

      Yup. And there's an explanation for that that's not yet public. It will be, eventually.

      Incidentally, I've noted that timing on multiple occasions. I may have been the first to link to the underlying analysis. But then I've got a pretty good idea about the non-public explanation.

          Sorry I don't follow your work as much as I should. Will try to keep up better. But honestly "non-public" explanations don't mean anything to me.

          That's fine--I don't blame you. I'm going to write a response to Scott's piece. It's actually really interesting for the glaring errors it makes. Thanks for alerting me to it.
