Everyone strap in & brace yourself. There are about to be some major stories released on the Trump-Russia scandal. First one will be early this evening. I compiled an extensive research report & @GrantStern has the exclusive. Lets just say it will stop some attacks on Mueller.

(7,876 posts)...the revelation that recently un-recused Devin Nunes apparently received campaign donations from the same people that originally funded the Steele dossier.

(3,827 posts)We need to stop giving this douchebag attention. The motherfucker has over 200K followers on Twitter - they buy into his bullshit on a daily basis. Fuck off, Dworkin.

The big story on #RemoveNunes ate up a lot of time, but I'm diligently working on another story with @funder to release tonight...
Replying to @MargaretOrmrod1 @jojorez and
Sometimes you pursue one story and realize that that's not the story and change course... this is one of those times. We follow the facts where they lead and sometimes, one set of facts outweighs what you originally imagined was most important.

Ok by tonight we meant tomorrow. Night. Maybe 3 days from now. Night.
Ok let's put out some info that was already known but with a creative spin and call it THE BOMBSHELL!
Oh look! People are clicking again! Ok TONIGHT! Strap yourselves in because it's going to get crazy!
No it's not. This isn't how it's going to go down. Stop it already.

(2,195 posts)The year of, the end of, the beginning of, whatever,
the year 20 (add any number less than 19) and send
lots of money now for these neat cds, dvds, books
and whatever else is overstocked. This is more along
the line of the currency of clicks, tweets and ratings.
These breathless predictions are getting tiresome.

Hav
(5,969 posts)that nothing came after this breathless announcement. Real journalists don't make these kind of announcements, even if they are sure the story is solid. In this case, the leads didn't turn out as expected. There is an easy solution to avoid such an embarrassing situation: Just wait with this clickbait until you are sure you have the story!
The thing is, it's possible that these two will one day have a great and important story and I don't want to be too harsh. But how often will we give this kind of clickbait and especially guys like Dworkin the attention before one has to think that they are insulting our intelligence if they believe we fall for it again and again, every Friday?
