well for starters, the source is obviously pro-left/schiff/etc, anti-right/nunes/trump/etc
but he's also flat out incorrect on his analysis. Like, whats supposed to be going on in this tweet:
https://twitter.com/pwnallthethings/status/1020853493207322626What the report shows is the exact opposite of what that guy said, and just what Nunes said in his memo. The very image he included in his tweet disproves what he's trying to say.
Did he accidentally mess up on who the 'business associate' and 'law firm' are? It says:
The footnote says the exact
opposite of what that guy on twitter claimed it said. He said that it was "
alerting the FISC that this news article is based on Source #1's underlying reporting"
It says the FBI believes that the news article is
not based on Steele's reports. It says that they think Steele only shared his information up the chain to Fusion GPS and Perkins Coie (and then the Hillary Campaign, which Nunes pointed out is conspicuously missing from the report).
it doesn't say anywhere in there that Isikoff's 'high placed western intelligence source' originated from Steele. The only thing it does is attempt to rule out Steele as the source, thereby making it 'independent corroboration'.
Except steele actually was the source. But there's no insinuation in their footnote that the information was passed from either the business associate or law firm to the media, and they wouldn't be considered 'western intelligence sources' to begin with, only Steele would.
I don't see how that can be interpreted as anything other than insinuating independent corroboration. It certainly doesn't state what the guy on twitter claimed it did. It says the opposite.
How does that footnote alert the FISC that Ikisoff's article was based on Steele's reporting? It does no such thing. He's full of crap.
I follow the guy for analysis of all things Russiagate, so maybe he is on the left, I haven't reviewed all his twitter history. Calling a spade a spade doesn't necessarily make you anti-Trump or anti-Nunes. I'm not anti-Trump because I say he lies all the time... it's just a fact.
Lol... read 2 tweets later dude. Did you just stop reading the thread when you saw that? He corrected himself.
Again, we can all read the document. The Yahoo news story is an example of Carter Page rejecting some of the claims about himself. It's not a demonstration of independent corroboration.
