Thanks. I kind of remembered that story, but I didn't feel like researching it, so I left it out. I didn't want to be a little off and give the Trump fanboys an opening to deflect what I was saying. They will find a reason anyway, but I try to limit the possibilities.sycasey said:There's been some evidence that he's susceptible to fraudsters (including Russian propagandists) posing as sources and passing bad information through him. For example:Eastern Oregon Bear said:I find it hard to believe that anyone in a position to be privy to this information - the inner circle - would talk to an 87 year old has been like Seymour Hersh who hasn't been favorable to the Democrats in years. It's certainly possible that he's creating anonymous sources to get one last "scoop" and because being forced to face up to aging is a subject Hersh has been confronting for quite some time.sycasey said:
I don't think that scenario is impossible, but Seymour Hersh's "anonymous sources" reporting is not reliable proof of anything."poor waif in his underwear" is not an expression any US official would use, but it does happen to be a translation of an idiomatic russian phrase. Sounds like Hersh is getting duped by a Russian source pretending to be American https://t.co/3uc6ftmCSP
