emptywheel actively participated in a law enforcement investigation that she was actively covering, and then hid this fact from readers for many months. Media then took her claimed rationale at face value (as though collaborating with the FBI is normal journalistic activity)

Here's part of the rationale she gave for her flabbergasting journalistic decision, on July 3, 2018, after concealing her FBI collaboration for many months. It was basically a patriotic thing, you see.pic.twitter.com/hYsOXCtx23

While she makes this massive "disclosure" on her blog posts, it's not disclosed in her various media appearances where she's promoted as an authority on Mueller. Nor has the fact that she has a *direct, personal stake* in the investigation been adequately scrutinizedpic.twitter.com/O5jvMjqoTa

Wow, a pun using a misspelled version of my surname. Brilliant. Very sad to see CounterPunch go down the tubes, I wonder what Alexander Cockburn would've thought about journalists collaborating with the FBI. (Actually, I know what he would've thought.)

Who doesn't like a nice pat on the back from the DOJ/FBI? Oh but to sit in their laps while they crossed legs would be delicious

Deepswamp "journo". This new media hangs with deepswampers to shows and games and spread deepswamp manure and then they all wallow in it. It looks and smells really bad.

Um, here’s her original blog post, while technically she does not say she went to Meuller, the entire post especially with her addendum at the end she was happy to let the world believe she went to Muellerhttps://www.emptywheel.net/2018/07/03/putting-a-face-mine-to-the-risks-posed-by-gop-games-on-mueller-investigation/ …

They probably thought she was crazy and were like "yeah you can write about whatever you want... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "
