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?

Well, in the last 2 days that's pretty impressive. Pretty much every right winger except those who responded to your complaints (and even 2 who thought they were). It's a thing, Chuck. Sorry you were misunderstood.

I'll interpret that as your way of saying "sorry I misunderstood you"

My reading tweets of people talking about Halper & the dossier is misunderstanding you? Sorry--it's going to the source. Again, you're the one who mentions the dossier 6 times in an article that's not about the dossier, not me.

I don't know why you're trying to deflect to these 5 Twitter randos who you posit misinterpreted my article. It's clear that you wrote the article because of your own misinterpretation.
