I didn't make that assurance. I said there's no upside to taking bullshit from the fever swamps and releasing it back into the fever swamps with a note saying it's not true.

Most of these allegations have been debunked for years.

They're not going away. There's no reason to give them the legitimacy of addressing the conspiracy when everything is proof of the conspiracy. Since you brought up Clinton, they're still going on about Benghazi and Clinton death squads and no amount of proof will stop it.

So why feed it?

Because the "it's untrue" part doesn't go back into the fever swamps. They never hear it.

But it does go into the mainstream.

Most people had never heard of Hunter Biden and have always seen Joe as the working class train guy. Now getting some drive-by noise about he is just another corrupt politico can land, and a noise about how things are being hidden definitely will.

Literally all that they know now unless they are a Wonker with lots of time to parse back years of stuff is that (1) there is a document that claims that Biden is corrupt and (2) the Biden DOJ won't release it.

Since the adminsitration is going with your preference I hope it works, but I have concerns.

As it happens I'm going to Pittsburgh in a few weeks. Send-off for a dear friend and colleague as he retires, after over twenty years with our company. <sniff!>

Have Russian spies only been shoveling it since 2018? Maybe this specific story, but Trumplandians are such easy marks this behavior goes way back.

I’m still bitter that RTL displaced the radio station carrying bluegrass in the DC area in 2011. WTF are we letting Russian propaganda stations operate so blatantly? They aren’t American citizens with first amendment rights to free speech.

My preference is the correct one. There is no upside to releasing a document that contains unverified and unverifiable information to prove the accusation is lie. It's unverified and unverifiable.

So the Republican primary for Comer's district, was it a job fair in a Walmart parking lot? And the first three guys who could make the best hog grunts got to be on the ballot? That's just what I heard

I suspect that if you could look through a random selection of those forms you'd find all sorts of nonsense FBI agents had to record, just because that's what the regulations say. Confidential informant ------ claims Barbra Streisand murdered Jimmy Hoffa.
