The fake "document" sent to Rachel Maddow...

Sounds familiar, hmmm...remember the Nixon goon squad "Canuck letter?"

Yeah, one of Nixon's goons created a fake letter to smear Ed Muskie.

Most of the Nixon goons are dead.

One isn't, and is proud of his "ratfucking."

Roger Stone, a die-hard Trump phanboi.

G. Gordon Liddy is still alive also.

Liddy went to jail for his antics, Stone did not.

I'm thinking there are some big actors at work here, not your usual low lifes.

About Tillerson? (Can't remember) Someone high up going shopping for data from sensitive sources in Europe. Does anyone remember this story?

I may be totally off base. It just popped into my mind. But the timing is peculiar.

smiling, just daring them to do it again. She made them watch her on tv. She teased them with the announcement the night before. I bet they briefly thought they had bagged her with their forgery.

Did they ever figure out who sent the docs that permanently fouled up Dan Rather's career? He was right, but had a bogus doc. But by the time his exposure ended, it was too late and no one would touch the subject of W being a hawkish draft dodger.
