Donald J. Trump presumably needs no introduction.
Jim Sciutto is, incredibly enough, CNN Chief National Security Correspondent.
John Cardillo is a Trump and #MAGA buff who has a talk show or something analogous on the net.
David Harsanyi is a Reactionary (his term) who writes for @FDRLST and @NRO.
I quote this Twitter series (to be read in reverse order if you don’t know what’s going on) because, much as I dislike Donald Trump being president, I think Harsanyi has captured the gist of what’s going on:
This is like claiming Raiders of the Lost Ark is a documentary because Egypt exists. https://t.co/kHwUG5TAH4

Not true. US intel found that meetings – plural – cited in the dossier took place on the dates & in locations as described. Moreover, its central assertion – that Russia waged a broad campaign to interfere in the election – is now accepted by D’s & R’s alike. https://t.co/WxYXFNJqIu

No @jimsciutto, not “parts.”
One part. That Carter Page traveled to Russia, as did thousands of other Americans.
That’s it. That’s the only item in the dossier that was ever corroborated.
And that’s not illegal, improper, or indicative of anything.

In fact, US investigators have corroborated parts of the dossier as we reported last February: https://t.co/d8PmtBXLZX https://t.co/gAIIkwZReK

WOW, @foxandfrlends “Dossier is bogus. Clinton Campaign, DNC funded Dossier. FBI CANNOT (after all of this time) VERIFY CLAIMS IN DOSSIER OF RUSSIA/TRUMP COLLUSION. FBI TAINTED.” And they used this Crooked Hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the Trump Campaign!
