Who would send fake documents to news outlets like Rachel...

To discredit the press if they publish them, and are exposed as fake, ala Dan Rather?

Surely no one currently under F.B.I. investigation for collusion with russia would be so foolish...



"During the 2004 general election, Stone was accused by then-DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe of forging the Killian memos that led CBS News to report that President Bush had not fulfilled his service obligations while enlisted in the Texas Air National Guard. McAuliffe cited a report in the New York Post in his accusations. For his part, Stone denied having forged the documents."

Trying to follow all that is happening with 45 and the russians waa giving me acid.

But, it looks liike the fake document might pale in comparision to 45s newly exposed treachery.

into stealing and giving this document to The Intercept by the same sort of shady people who encouraged, for instance, Arkansas state troopers and women some of them were acquainted with to make scandalous allegations against Bill Clinton, none of which were ever proven and most dismissed in court. In fact, a number of those same people have been doing dirty work all along for groups like the Kochsters, Judicial Watch, Mercer, Rump campaign, etcetera, etcetera.

Possibly of new interest is the question of why Winner stole the document she did at all. Reportedly, it doesn't contain anything new or important, nothing worth the danger of getting it to The Intercept. Could what was valuable about it have specifically been its very high-level classification?

Silence from big-hitter sources like NYT and WaPo while they investigate.

He is one of the most thoroughly repulsive creatures on the planet. He would have fit in perfectly in Hitler's Third Reich. It's hard to believe he's even human.

For whatever reason(s), listening to/even looking at this guy for more than a few seconds makes me feel sick to my stomach. He's completely amoral and sexist-- and pretty much a parasite. A swinger? OMG! How anyone could have sex with this guy staggers the imagination and again, the stomach!

The fact that he obsessively collects Richard Nixon memorabilia is diagnostic.

If you'll pardon the disgusting imagery. So many of our worst came from the Nixon cabal: Cheney, Rummy, Stone, "dirty tricks,' etc.

along with G. Gordon Liddy and others involved Watergate. He dropped out of college to work for Nixon's Committee to Re-Elect the President, though he claims he never did anything illegal regarding Watergate.
