With its sources redacted and none of the ?confidence markings? intelligence agencies use to distinguish which claims are most credible, the document is tough to parse, Tait says.

?The key to usable HUMINT is distinguishing the real, highly placed sources from the bullshitting wannabes who pretend they?re highly placed sources by making shit up that fits the public facts,? says Tait. ?In this case, the doc gives no indication that the company has done work to rigorously separate the two?and consequently it?s really hard to tell whether any of the info is actually true, or just a very exciting and expensively produced fan-fiction novel.?

Under normal circumstances, yes. But in a matter of days Trump will be in a position to silence this investigation and we cannot allow that. This is why the cat was released out of the bag. Now the public knows.

Earlier today Trump's approval rating was 42%. I wonder what it will be next week.
