      Some points on this profile of Ed Baumgartner: It notes that (contrary to Simpson's testimony) Baumgartner was simultaneously billing for Prevezon--probably lobbying support, which is key--and for Dem oppo research. http://www.businessinsider.com/ed-baumgartner-fusion-gps-christopher-steele-russia-projects-2018-1 … Simpson was VERY forgetful abt that.

      Reading the transcribed testimony, I thought it was made perfectly clear that Baumbartner was involved in both projects. I have always had a very favorable impression of your reading comprehension and am sincerely shocked.

      Please read what I've actually written, then. What Simpson claimed is that the involvement was serial: Prevezon ends in June then DNC starts. Records make it clear Baumgartner was working on both AT SAME TIME.

      he said he thought Prevezon "was winding down" clearly stating there was overlap.

      Except it wasn't. It billed all the way through October.

      I see so how long can a "wind down" last. I didn't know it was a technical term. I remain shocked.

      Simpson also says the project is over when you stop billing. So that's how he decides.

      The attached tweet (which you actually wrote) is 100% false and damaging. Rather than admitting you made a mistake you are parsing "winding down". You have (or had) a sterling reputation. Don't throw it away.pic.twitter.com/ZpBscQ1LP3

      Great. Then I'll stand by what I say and publish the even more damning post making Simpson's obfuscation more clear if that's what you prefer?

          I want you to act as the scrupulous and honest investigator I remember. I don't give a damn about Simpson. I am disappinted in you.
