Try this (seriously, that is one mis-leading headline CNN):

Presumably, though, the reason they knew they were fake was a source that they wanted to protect. Declaring them fake would have dried up (or possibly killed) that source.

Look, without making myself completely doxxable, I will say that this falls under my wheelhouse of expertise and as far as I can tell, the truth of the matter is that this was a truly impossible situation for Comey. “Sources and methods” may be a vague concept for most people, but the reality is that years of work and…

I think the better answer would have been the easiest: Follow protocol and if someone gets their hands on fake documents from Russian intelligence, declare publicly that they’re fake and arrest the relevant foreign agents.

CNN updated the source article with this additional paragraph shortly after Aimee made this post.

Net Neutrality becomes ever increasingly important...

I’m wondering if I met with Sergey Kislyak last year? Because apparently I wouldn’t remember, if I did.

That’s what is so disheartening. We do not have to reinvent the wheel. There are so many great global examples of humane (and efficient) health care systems we might do well to emulate.

Absolutely sickening that these women cave in to misogynistic Islamist pressure to cover their heads.

“And through his shrewdness he will cause deceit to succeed by his influence; And he will magnify himself in his heart, And he will destroy many while they are at ease. He will even oppose the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human agency.” - Daniel 8:25 (on satan) and also what the pope was heard…

This is basic conservative governing strategy, too. Push and squeeze those they think beneath them, typically the poor (black and white, but mostly black). When the poor push back together, the conservative leadership suddenly scapegoats the non-whites for fighting back violently, who are usually left with little…

I’ve known Jim Comey for nearly a decade (not well enough to hear his secrets, but well enough that, if he ran into me on the street, he’d say hello). Unlike McCain, he is a deeply principled, ethical man. Trump has no idea what he’s started.

Dudes who do the wrist bend are awful. If anyone deserved it, it would be Sarah Palin, but it’s such a dumb and obnoxious “power move.”

I have $2 on Toby Keith insulting the audience tonight, and blood spilling as a result. Five American clams says the current occupant of the White House manages to insult all three Abrahamic religions before the week is out.

Republicans, generally, consume less news, and what they do consume is carefully curated into a coherent and yet entirely disparate narrative from what the rest of the country is following.

I think 10 or 20 years from now they will have completely different memories of this era - complete with conspiracy theories -…

I live in DC, and like most people here I have a whole lotta feelings about this administration (none of them good). I had dinner with some of my Mom’s friends as they swung through town the other night (they’re in their 80's) and their cousins (probably 55ish) when the question was asked, “So, are people here going…

I’m kicking my weekend off with immense joy knowing that those dead eyed gargoyles are going to be living Sartre’s No Exit for the next 9 days, trapped on a virtually indestructible military aircraft with Donald Trump and the press. It’s a hell they cannot escape and that they richly deserve.

If the anxiety or depression is triggered by the onset of a new baby, regardless of whether you delivered that baby, that’s what it is.

During the debates what galled me to no small extent (even as a man) was his little pat of her back as they shook hands. I can only image her disgust.

I’m living on mostly rice, these days, but still subscribe to the New Yorker.
