Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      The great Jane Mayer joins the long line of people who ignore the Guccifer 2.0 release to make Steele look better (and repeats other errors we've seen over and over).https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/03/12/christopher-steele-the-man-behind-the-trump-dossier …

      It would be nice. But she probably won't, and I don't have time to go research it.

      I've written about this repeatedly. Here's just one example. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/11/24/did-the-steele-dossier-lead-the-democrats-to-be-complacent-after-they-got-hacked/ …

          I honestly don't have time to re-read that, I have to go to work. Can you please be less cryptic for those of us who haven't committed everything you've written to memory?

          Congratulations. That's one of the most assholish things anyone has said to me in a while.

          Dude, make the time to read it. Marcy's write-ups are a must read. Definitely the most substantive takes on the Russia investigation and one of the few outside of the box writers on the subject

          Isn't possible, at least with Schiff, the dossier is cited because it is public domain and most of the evidence he has seen is not?pic.twitter.com/dub6tKUqmG

          No. Because there's a fuck-ton of better evidence in the public record.

          sure but it is more obscure and shifts the battleground. I would argue leaving the right shadow fighting the dossier while the rest of the puzzle pieces are assembled make some sense. I would argue the right has put more eggs in the dossier basket than the left at this point

          It may be CYA, but Mayer's reporting indicates not complacency, but not a factor in decision making. Post election-different story.
