I'll believe it when I see sauce that doesn't list their source as "an unnamed individual"

2019-12-19 06:26:39 UTC  

Or at least have 3 informants

2019-12-19 06:26:50 UTC  

Which isnt a standard anymore

2019-12-19 06:27:02 UTC  

While I'm all about freedom of press, it should be considered journalistic malpractice to spit out an op-ed as factual reporting with "unnamed sources"

2019-12-19 06:27:02 UTC  

I watched a movie recently that had that

2019-12-19 06:27:15 UTC  

And it was a big deal that the person didnt have 3 informants

2019-12-19 06:27:26 UTC  

Ahh the good days

2019-12-19 06:28:03 UTC  

@Mersenne standard was at least 3 informants

2019-12-19 06:28:28 UTC  

one means no story. two means no story. 3 vetted informants run the story

2019-12-19 06:28:41 UTC  

So not just a random person like today

2019-12-19 06:28:50 UTC  

It had to be vetted

2019-12-19 06:28:55 UTC  

and three different people

@Cobra Commander - If anyone tries to refute Biden's sons implication, just ask if they've bothered to read the Horowitz report

2019-12-19 06:30:10 UTC  

Ask if they have read any report \

2019-12-19 06:30:16 UTC  

i'll keep that in mind should it ever come up

2019-12-19 06:30:21 UTC  

If the roles were reversed Biden would be way more guilty than Trump. Roles as in who was president. Its a shame how focused the country has been on impeachment when there are actual real world problems that need to be dealt with. Its a depressing waste of time

2019-12-19 06:30:35 UTC  

they'll probably just reply with a derisive ad hominem tangent though lmao

2019-12-19 06:31:17 UTC  

Exactly. If you had a Republican House and Biden as President, the withholding of military aid to Ukraine to fire a "corrupt prosecutor" investigating a company within *his own country* where Biden's son was collecting 82k a month would be immediate grounds for investigation and impeachment.

2019-12-19 06:31:18 UTC  

@Mersenne Thanks for providing a source to go off of btw. Will try to give it a read

2019-12-19 06:32:21 UTC  

Note - The Horowitz report is more eye-opening on the illigitimate origins of the Steele Dossier, prompting FISA warrants from overhearing bar conversations, which prompted the Russia investigation.

2019-12-19 06:32:58 UTC  

Sounds like a long tedious read

2019-12-19 06:33:05 UTC  

No, it's pretty damn concise

2019-12-19 06:33:12 UTC  

Oh nice

2019-12-19 06:34:06 UTC  

*Correction - the unabridged report is a grueling 416 pages. It's worth reading the summary of findings.

2019-12-19 06:34:42 UTC  

Also, just read up. Most "journalism" today is journalistic malpractice

2019-12-19 06:35:10 UTC  

summary of the Horowitz report?

2019-12-19 06:35:31 UTC  

Yeah, I'd probably drive off a cliff before I finished the 400 pages

2019-12-19 06:35:38 UTC  

Rolling Stone gives the best TLDR

2019-12-19 06:36:48 UTC  

Basically, highlights the baseless claims used for issuing FISA warrants to monitor Trump and US citizens

2019-12-19 06:41:54 UTC  

That's really useful. Saving it to my news folder

2019-12-19 06:43:31 UTC  

Btw does anyone have a link to something showing where Trump can still run in 2020 once he's acquitted. Either a news article or something referencing laws. Can't find a good source

2019-12-19 06:43:37 UTC  

If not that's fine

2019-12-19 06:47:10 UTC  

he can still run

2019-12-19 06:47:19 UTC  

clinton ran again after being acquitted

2019-12-19 06:47:26 UTC  

and won

2019-12-19 06:47:30 UTC  

if i remember correctly

2019-12-19 06:48:38 UTC  

Yeah, dizzy and Louis updated me earlier. Just trying to find a link that I can reference

2019-12-19 06:49:28 UTC  

@Troye - Sauce as requested

2019-12-19 06:50:26 UTC  

I learned it in high school tbh
