Do you have a factual complaint or are you just peeved that I pointed out you had inserted the dossier where it had no place?

Yeah, my complaint is that you don't know what you're talking about

I don't know that you said you had no intent of saying the dossier was tied to Halper? You said that earlier on this thread. Again, if that's in error, I'm happy to change it.

I'm taking issue with the suggestion that my reporting ever came close to suggesting the dossier was linked to Halper. It didn't, but you for some reason thought it did and then assumed everyone else read it the same way. The mistake is yours, not mine.

Again, about half of the right wingers who've read that have suggested there is a tie, especially w/Papa. I'm sorry they misunderstood it. All the post aims to do is to show that there is no connection, which is a necessary step to show how crazy-train this GOP effort has gone.

I mean, I wrote this article a month and a half ago and nobody I've interacted w/ about the piece has said anything about Halper being related to the dossier.

Great. Then the 5 people who have to me--who tie Halper directly to the Steele dossier--are just reading their preconceptions onto that Millian and Dearlove tie. That's why I wrote the post. To make it very clear there is not a logical tie.

5? That's it?
