Photo: The Russian Ambassador to Washington from 2008 to 2017, Sergey Kislyak (far right), poses for a picture after the astronaut William Shepherd was awarded the Russian Medal for Merit in Space Exploration by Ambassador Kislyak on Friday, Dec. 2, 2016, at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
Everyone in Washington met and chatted with Amb Kislyak, including this podcaster. "Mother Jones first revealed the existence of the dossier a few days before the 2016 election, and said the memos were part of an "opposition research project" underwritten by Democrats. Nearly a year passed before the full truth came out about the financing: The money flowed from Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign to law firm Perkins Coie, to the research company Fusion GPS, and then ultimately to Steele, who got $168,000." —CNN
"Axios says there’s a media 'reckoning' over coverage of the Steele dossier after the partisan oppo document’s primary source was charged with lying to the FBI. . .
"The most charitable explanation is that reporters had become such saps for Democrats that they were inclined to believe the most fantastical stories imaginable. The more plausible explanation, considering the lack of any genuine accountability and self-reflection, is that they were in on it." — köszönöm, David Harsanyi, New York Post
