A Veteran Spy Has Given the FBI Information Alleging a Russian Operation to Cultivate Donald Trump

This article was published by Mother Jones back on October 31, 2016, as recently unearthed by Aaron Klein. The author, David Corn, helped launch Plamegate, as I summarized here (see Question #21: "21. What role did David Corn play in triggering the DOJ probe of Novak’s column? Prior to Novak’s column, David Corn had met Wilson on the set of FOX News and had invited him to contribute a column to The Nation. According to Corn, after Novak’s column came out, he called Wilson and suggested to him that Novak’s column may have been a criminal violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act. Corn then published an article making the first public accusation that the Bush administration had committed a crime by blowing Plame’s cover. Three years later, Corn would coauthor the first book identifying the actual leaker as Richard Armitage."). This whole scandal begins to look increasingly like Plamegate/Nigergate, to the point of involving some of the same players.

Mother Jones .. David Corn

             

[E. Pluribus Unum]

MJ is the prototypical fake news.

[Fedora]

:-)

[Fedora]

Indeed.

[Robwin]

Mother Jones? Oh, puhlease. Makes Buzzfeed look rational.

[riverdawg]

And David Corn is a fake “journalist.”

[cynwoody]

Didn’t David Corn also break the Romney 47% story?

[Fedora]

Yes, and they had the story three months before CNN decided it was “news”, which tells you a lot. . .

[Fedora]

Good memory! The Story Behind the 47 Percent Video--It took months to get the scoop that rocked the 2012 election. David Corn.

[Fedora]

Oh, and he was also trying to tie Trump to the Jimmy Hoffa murder on MSNBC this week: MSNBC's David Corn on Trump's Ties To Organized Crime, Mafia, Jimmy Hoffa Murder

[ConservativeMind]

So the Russians said, “Let's give Trump an opportunity to have a ‘pee-in’ with a bunch of hookers on a bed 0 slept on. If he liked doing that, maybe we have successfully turned him into our own ally.”

Yeah, I don't think so.

[Fedora]

And lo and behold, Corn shows up on Slate this week commenting on the BuzzFeed story--what a coincidence. . . A Question of Intelligence: A chat with David Corn about what was (and wasn’t) inside BuzzFeed’s dossier. by Jacob Weisberg

[BBell]

Mother Jones is only good when it comes to articles on genetically modified organisms, Big Pharma, holistic medicine, and organic farming or gardening. Other than that it’s mostly socialist rubbish.

[Fedora]

Pretty much.

So MJ lost a court case about a “fake but accurate” rape story where they lost millions. And now they’re stupid enough to try that crap again with the most powerful man in the world who also happens to be very protective of his reputation i.e., litigious. These people who run MJ aren’t exactly geniuses are they? The next question is when does President Trump take ownership of MJ. hahahha

So MJ lost a court case about a “fake but accurate” rape story where they lost millions.

Do you have Mother Jones mixed up with Rolling Stones Magazine?

[Fedora]

They also got sued by Michael Moore—the irony. . .

This story is just a variant of the first one. They are not too original are they?
