      This is not true, @emptywheel. And that means that the argument that follows from it is inaccurate. I'm the only person who has reported Halper's involvement, and I've not contended that he was working off of the dossier. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/05/11/stefan-halper-wasnt-downstream-from-the-steele-dossier/ …pic.twitter.com/W7tZbe6OiL

      Then you should go back and rewrite the story that I support that with. Because you tie him directly to the dossier in it.

      Moreover, plenty of people relying on that story ALSO claim he had a tie to the dossier. I'm laying out he couldn't for the next step in an argument about how the GOP really doesn't think the FBI should investigate spying targets.

      Except then why tie Pap to Millian (without noting how irrelevant that tie is).

      I think the best explanation is that bc Ross' audience obsesses about the dossier, he inserted in a story to try to make Halper look like a central participant of a conspiracy via Dearlove. I will note Ross now disavows that in an update.

      Then put in your update that I also think that your "best explanation" is incorrect too. Pretty clear that fleshing out all of the odd people that Papa interacted with back then. Mifsud, Downer, Millian, Halper. Some of those connections happen to end up leading to dossier.

      I can just quote this tweet, but since it's nonsensical can you explain at more length? Are you saying that a Republican, Halper, is secretly the guy behind the Democratic dossier?

          Also, can you clarify what you mean by my "best explanation"? Thanks.

          You said "I think the best explanation" is yadda yadda yadda. And that explanation is inaccurate. I didn't include anything to please my "audience." It's pretty simple. I included everything about these people that I know.

          You're not this stupid, Marcie. Why are you pretending to be? A: Papa spoke to Millian and others, and some of that ended up in the dossier. B: Halper, Downer spoke to Papa around the same time. Ross is not claiming that A>B. More likely B>A, or something less direct.

          Saying “connected to Dossier” confuses the entire issue these days. It’s best to talk real people. Steele has one set of priorities. Glenn Simpson has somewhat similar but different priorities. FBI peeps have another. It’s all real messy

          Sure, it's messy alright. Which is why Marcy's nitpicking with Chuck's article is so idiotic. Well it would be idiotic if it were unintentional, but Marcy is picking nits in order to avoid addressing the important questions that implicate her #deepstate buddies.

          Now that I have your attention, Marcy, let me ask you the question again; Why did Alexander Downer and Stefan Halper each arrange meetings with lowly George Papadopoulos in summer 2016?
