    emptywheel Retweeted Chuck Ross

    According to Republicans, the USG should never investigate the infiltration of our country by adversarial nation spies, via whatever means.https://twitter.com/ChuckRossDC/status/997558188676472837 …

    emptywheel added,

    Chuck Ross @ChuckRossDC
    According to Democrats and other Resistance folks, CIA operatives aren't spies, they're merely investigators.

        I'm hoping before this is out, Daily Caller lets Oleg Deripaska write another column so he can complain that FBI treated him with less respect than they treated Hillary Clinton.

        i admire the benefit of the doubt youve otherwise consistently given Chuck's reporting, historically. He certainly seems to be carrying water for the Nunes crew these days. Whether he really believes it or he's just doing it for the paycheck, not sure

        Replying to @screenslaver @emptywheel

        I too think it's smart to pay attention to useful reporting regardless of its provenance. At the same time, Ross really does seem to have descended into Byron-Yorkian paranoid incoherence. (And theres the very very racist shit in his past, too.)

        They are starting to argue Flynn isn’t guilty because the FBI fires thevagents that railroaded Flynn into a plea. This is scary stuff

        Not exactly. This entire partisan exercise may well be duplicated. The whole tit for tat thing is going to get fun when the tables turn. But its going to be hard to find a turncoat like Brennan on the right.

        Only partially true: they very much want an investigation into Hillary's ties to the Russians!

        What an investigation it was too. They nailed Flynn for failing to register as an agent of Turkey!

        No. He lied to the FBI about his efforts with Russia, a U.N. resolution, and what he knew about his lobbying. http://www.nybooks.com/daily/2017/12/05/michael-flynn-what-we-know-what-mueller-knows/ … I try to donate about $300/yr to emptywheel, how much have you donated? https://www.emptywheel.net

        I think that the Republicans would object to you calling their dear friends the Russians an adversarial nation or spies.

        to @ChuckRossDC and Dick Cheney, Valerie Plame was just a waitress impersonating a spy.
