consortiumnews | Jane Mayer of The New Yorker and Cenk Uygur of The Young
Turks are the latest progressives to jump on the anti-Trump,
pro-Russiagate bandwagon. They have made it crystal clear that, in
Mayer’s words, they are not going to let Republicans, or anyone else,
“take down the whole intelligence community,” by God.
Odd? Nothing is too odd when it comes to spinning and dyeing the yarn
of Russiagate; especially now that some strands are unraveling from the
thin material of the “Steele dossier.”
Before the 2016 election, British ex-spy Christopher Steele was
contracted (through a couple of cutouts) by the Clinton campaign and
Democratic National Committee to dig up dirt on candidate Donald Trump.
They paid him $168,000. They should ask for their money back.
Mayer and Uygur have now joined with other Trump-despisers and new
“progressive” fans of the FBI and CIA – among them Amy Goodman and her
go-to, lost-in-the-trees journalist, Marcy Wheeler of Emptywheel.net.
All of them (well, maybe not Cenk) are staying up nights with needle and
thread trying to sew a silk purse out of the sow’s-ear dossier of
Steele allegations and then dye it red for danger.
