Source: Fusion GPS Founder Had Not Verified Dossier Claims When He Briefed Reporters

CHUCK ROSS





quote:

The founder of Fusion GPS told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that he was upset over former FBI Director James Comey’s decision to reopen the Hillary Clinton email investigation just before Election Day, a source familiar with the testimony tells The Daily Caller.

Glenn Simpson, who founded Fusion in 2011, also acknowledged to the House panel that he did not verify information in the uncorroborated and salacious dossier before briefing reporters on its contents during the campaign, the source says.

As fact? They just released the contents when nobody else will.

I don't remember specifics about what Buzzfeed said but I know CNN et al were over the top with the "we can't verify, we're only releasing bc Buzzfeed did" stuff

How can you even begin to try to play devils advocate on this one. I mean I know you are a complete wuss when it comes to the MSM but using the "I don't know if it's true but here is the entire thing" doesn't work for shite. Completely hackish biased unethical bullshite.

What happened to you, you pussy?

I'm challenging falsehoods, and you're in here carrying water for Trump when he's not even under attack.

Fact: Buzzfeed didn't present the dossier as fact.

Fact: CNN clearly didn't, went over the top in claiming they weren't doing so.

If you want to talk about the ethics of doing what those entities did, fine. But don't conflate my questions with some mythical affront your ball-fondling narrative, you hack

The scumbag jake tapper reportrd the president was being leveraged by this document. He had seen this document previously. Either he was complicit in whatever leak was trying to undermine the president , or he's a moron for thinking the president could be leveraged by it.

Your choice petti

Link me to tapper saying that

Tapper has been worsening lately but i doubt he presented that as claimed. But I'll look if you can show me.

Fact: What they did was pull a Glenn Beck and present it as "we don't know if these things are real but we think you should know they are out there and what they are so we're going to repeat them over and over as if they were".

Jake Tapper reported on the existence of the dossier knowing full well that it was a complete fabrication and also knowing full well that a bottom feeder like Buzzfeed would print the contents so he could claim to have an ounce of journalistic integrity. Don’t be fooled, it was nothing but a hit on Trump because the media’s Russian narrative had gone off the tracks and they needed something to attack him with.

Well CNN isn’t news and Jake Tapper isn’t a journalist.

I agree with you on the premise that everything they present is fiction.
