      Given the focus on what Steele knew about the Papadopoulos tip this is rather interesting.pic.twitter.com/UMc4AVBrzP

      And more specifically, they did ask whether it was true that Steele didn't share w/journos. (Steele's subsequent declaration backed off this point, admitting he had briefed journos)pic.twitter.com/pewBaDqlxf

      ya know, I'm pretty sure I've known you since the old DKos days, but I've just gotta say that, other than being a pissy contrarian, it's pretty baffling to figure out either the motivation behind, or the ultimate destination for, all of this this counter narrative rebuttal.

      And as a simply procedural matter, it's interesting to me (I've had the pdf open in a tab since yesterday) that your screen shots carefully crop out even the line numbers. So it's virtually impossible to read for context unless one is 100% familiar with the entire text.

      By "virtually impossible" you mean searching on the phrases in the screen cap is "virtually impossible"? I chose a cleaner screen cap because it's doable here. In a searchable document that in no way prevents you from checking my work.

      Your screen caps are a non-searchable image file. Without the line numbers -- OK: which do repeat -- one would have to have your image open in one tab and manually switch back and forth to search for that passage But at least the line numbers would be an anchor of sorts.pic.twitter.com/2zl7Ji6qMj

      So, not even remotely "virtually impossible." In fact, just as easy as searching on line numbers, and more efficient, too!

      OK. For cases where "virtually impossible" intersect with "pain in the ass". But you don't seem to care about that, or allowing the context of what you're posting to be clear. Which makes it far, far easier to insist on only one set of "facts".

      Please tell me how any other method of screen capping would make it easier for you to find this in the text? Short of replicating entire pages with page numbers?

      And please tell me why you find it a "oain in the ass" to write three words into a search query?
