This idea is dumber than the plot in the movie zoolander.

But people will buy into it

Or, is it just crazy Dem conspiracy stuff?

EDIT: It's a Twitter thread with about 50 tweets from Seth Abramson.



This is the actual fake news that dems refuse to talk about. Not 100% completely fabricated stories like Hillary is an alien or Trump has sex with his daughter.

'Respected' people in the dem media sphere tweet or write things with VERY limited knowledge and then just use conjecture to come up with some theory that they like.

It is then retweeted or shared thousands of times by the sheep.

Then people poke many holes in the theory/story.

Several days later there is a brief retraction (or sometimes none at all).

Then onto the next one.

Also I realize that republicans in the media do this too, but right now with the OMG RUSSIA!!!! phase we're in it's not even close between who puts out more of this garbage.

I'm asking what this board thinks of the evidence presented.


I read through both of Abramson's megathreads and here are my thoughts.

1) Some of the evidence he presents is probably valid, but it is all circumstantial. There is no smoking gun -- just the claims of a former Mi6 agent stitched together with some news articles and speculation.

2) Abramson is a contributor to NYT, WaPo, and HuffPo. If there was a smoking gun, one of these outlets would have picked up the story. My guess is that they didn't because there's something wrong with the evidence.

3) The FBI has clearly seen the dossier, and if this stuff about Steele and the Source E are true then we will hear about it eventually through more legitimate channels.

Until then, don't hold your breath.

Notice how his whole theory revolves around the assumption that everything Steele says is correct. Steele was a PAID political operative of both the Republicans and Hillary Clinton, but that doesn't seem to bother Abramson in the least.

Second, Abramson said that nothing in Steele's dossier has been "disproven." That is patently false. The dossier alleges that Michael Cohen was in Prague in August in order to secretly meet with Russians. Unfortunately for Steele, Cohen came forward and debunked that story with a solid alibi. He then went on to say he's never been to either the Czech Republic or Russia in his life. He even volunteered his passport.

What's worse, Cohen's denial was confirmed by none other than CNN's Jake Tapper who reported that they investigated and confirmed that Steele's dossier was referring to the wrong Michael Cohen.

Tapper said:

quote:

“People tried to run that down and concluded it was a different Michael Cohen. It was a Michael Cohen with a passport from another country, same birth year, different birth date,” he said. We cannot let pesky partisanship and paid shills get in the way of our Pulitzer, can we?

“For him to dispute he was in the Czech Republic comports with our reporting,
” Tapper said. “It’s one of the reasons the intelligence chiefs did not get specific with these allegations. That’s why I hope at the press conference today people are more general, because a lot of that stuff just has not been proven.

It would be all over the evening news if it were true. Anybody can post anything on Twitter.

Shoot...for that matter, if there was any possibility that it might be true it would be all over the evening news.

For that matter, even if it was probably false, it would have been all over the evening news.

If not true, then you have a conspiracy by the media, Obama, Clinton, establishment Republicans and Dems, and the intelligence agencies to over throw an elected President, easily the largest crime in US political history!
