      You seem to follow everything I write and post on social media with a keen attention, so let me ask you: Do you really need me to answer this question or can you figure it out yourself?

      It's a rhetorical question, Weiss, designed to further an understanding of his perspective on the broader social witch hunt which inevitably emerges when dealing w/ foreign enemy or major foreign natsec concern. It happened to Jews. It happened to Germans in the US during WWI.

      Wasserman isn't discounting any realized concerns about Russian influence in the United States. He's applying a degree of nuance to highlight a potential concern in shifting outlooks from those who read the news but aren't as privy to its full context.

      And yet, anyone who might seize upon these docs to engage in some Russophobic campaign has not read these docs at all. (Russians in particular were most interested in them.) You cannot stop idiots from distorting facts to their advantage.

      Seriously? James Clapper said Russians are "genetically predisposed" to "penetrate". And "Russian descent" is now the official criterion for becoming a potential target of the Senate Intel Committee. You don't think this has the potential to become a witch hunt?pic.twitter.com/dwaL5VRLJn

      I don't think you're right on this one. The criteria in this particular inquiry are "people who Johnson has associated with" AND "Russian nationals/people with close ties to Russia." Which is different from "Russians" and in the context of a counterintel inquiry, is reasonable.

      I definitely understand that there's some ugly Russophobia going on, but I don't think it's worth relying on @mtracey's reporting of it.

      No need to "rely on my reporting." I produced the primary source email, which clearly states that "Russian descent" is now an investigatory criterion for the Senate Intelligence Committee.

      Have you ever coded before? It's a conjunctive criteria. Russian-descended individuals aren't being targeted.

      Yes, Russian-descended persons are explicitly being targeted in that the Senate Intel Committee has specified that "Russian descent" is among its investigatory criteria, along with engaging in "activities that related in any way to the political election process in the US"

          The conjunctive criteria clearly targets people known by or associated with Charles C. Johnson with regards to interference in the US political process. The letter explicitly targeted Charles C. Johnson, it was sent to him. I appreciate your reporting but not the editorial.

          The letter targeted Johnson in that it requested that he produce certain materials. Materials deemed relevant are any that relate to a person who is of Russian descent and engaged in "activities that related in any way to the political election process in the US"
