This is why Breitbart isn't considered a serious source.
Mountain Man leans heavily one way, you lean heavily the other. I figure reality is somewhere in between.

A nonexistent relationship.
That's by his own admission, and in direct contradiction with the headline, "Russian Lobbyist at Trump Jr. Meeting Admits Personal Relationship with Hillary Clinton." Notice the balance between falsehood in the headline and plausible deniability using the body of the reporting to maintain a more accurate poise that can be referenced later.
Not that they're addicted to truth.
The Russia collusion conspiracy was sparked by the dossier produced by Fusion GPS ...
That's been long since refuted.

The problem you see with that can be more generally applied.

If you'd like to prune out this exchange and place it where it belongs, I'd be pleased to continue it there.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostHe described himself as a personal friend of Hillary, and said that he knew people who were working on her 2016 campaign. He was also actively working with Fusion GPS which was paid by Hillary's campaign to manufacture the hoax "golden showers" dossier. Trying to pass this off as "old news" is disingenuous. If every random Russian "connection" on Trump's campaign needs to be investigated then why not Hillary?

I see, so a discussion about Hillary and her gang of crooks colluding with Russians to smear Trump with a phony dossier is off-topic in a thread discussing Russian interference?
Yeah, OK.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

I lean toward verifiable information from reliable sources. Equivocation between my position and anyone else's is both inaccurate, and not allowed in this thread, as it is yet another descent into personalities that can only serve to derail serious discussion.
Another organization that's been falsely pilloried by Trump supporters. These guys are former WSJ reporters now doing research for hire, happy to take money from anyone, and with a solid record of professionalism and journalistic verification.
