Yes. And she specifically says that's a "narrowing" requested by Johnson's lawyer, which you misrepresented as a "clarification."

Doss herself refers to it as a "clarification." Her "narrowing" of the definition is in response to a request for clarification.pic.twitter.com/Z8Eh5VTSAn

Yes. But not until after calling it a "narrowing." Again, you're misrepresenting what went on. Congrats to Johnson for making you his dupe.

Doss might claim it's a "narrowing," but in what conceivable universe does using "Russian descent" as investigatory criteria actually *narrow* the range of the people implicated here? It expands it.

Again, you're being Johnson's dupe. Congratulations for doing the work of a racist idiot.

I read your post. SSCI's definition of who it deems relevant isn't limited to "Russian persons," it also includes persons operating on behalf of "Russian interests," so the Kazakh you mentioned wouldn't be excluded per this "narrowed" criteria.

He might! But glad that you now recognize that change you object to came in response to Johnson's lawyer's request. Maybe you should call him the xenophobe?

Actually Ike doesn't work for a Russian. He works for an Azeri.

He could be said to "represent Russian interests" according to this. And so, still implicated even with the purportedly "narrowed" criteria.pic.twitter.com/M1yXOF8rZl

Also, the "Johnson's dupe" charge is utterly baseless. April Doss wrote the email. I don't particularly care what Johnson thinks.

Oh. So you received Doss' email from someone with no stake in this spin and you just misrepresented the email all by yourself. Huh.

You still haven't established what the "misrepresentation" is, because you haven't established that the range of people potentially implicated would be "narrowed" rather than drastically expanded. It'd make perfect sense for investigators to use the broadest possible criteria.
