There is a good deal of re-iffication in there

First the fact that Fusion GPS was first contracted by Conservatives is always left out. Did Fusion pay Steele "to produce' the documents, or did he already have them. Further, Fox and the Right just LOVE to repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat (that is what re-iffication is after all repetition of dubious claims until they are seen as accepted fact) this idea that the dossier was unverified and "largely discredited" information. SOME of the intel was unverified and it has not been "largely discredited". Been over this a thousand times here.

At least this piece gets right that the dossier was a citation and a support doc for the warrants.

As for the fox sources and being dialed in and bullsht like that - just plays to Fox audience - so DRAMATIC. See comments that Barr met with Dunham "on multiple occasions in recent weeks" all so important and in quotes. Lions and Tigers and Bears Oh My. I would fcking hope the AG met with the guy multiple times. Jesus. But Fox builds up the DRAMA !!

Funny that you go after Mueller but then turn to his report on questioning a Steele claim about Prague. Anyway, your piece was much retread.

I gave you some of what you requested.
