Many people are cautioning us to remember that he has delivered some bogus analyses in recent weeks. Some think he is a tool that is being played by his sources. He seems too quick to promote some assertions.
And he has blocked umpty numbers of Twitter users who question him.
Verify.
Remember Rather.

(33,643 posts)Team Trump are the one's full of it, talking about 'leaks'.
What the Mueller team are doing is complaining about how their final work ... is being handled. Saying that there were Summaries created for the Public and Congress to see and that the AG is hiding that fact, and has substituted his own summary ... is NOT LEAKING.

(13,571 posts)Not leaks. But Dilanian keeps using the words "we are told" and "I'm hearing" from his source(s)
We can use other reporters aside from Dilanian.

(10,126 posts)is flat out wrong and we don't need Dilanian to tell us that.
I won't waste my time looking up the links. It was reported inaccurately that way.
There was plenty of evidence of conspiracy.
The media was riddled with it.
It got Mueller involved.
There just wasn't enough to prove it beyond reasonable doubt according to Barr.
That's a big difference.
When Americans read Mueller's narrative, (a hunk of which was reported in the media), it is not going to be a nice story for Trump.

Exactly what I thought. If I recall, Dilanian (without having read the report) said it exonerated
Trump. Unbelievable actually. @NBCNews Do better.

Wow, Mr Dilanian, will we get an apology from you for pushing the exonerated line so hard? Perhaps some serious reflection on how you got owned by an administration that lies and disparages journalism every day? We are waiting...

Stop interviewing Ken Dilanian and get a real DOJ correspondent. He's an access "journalist" that doesn't really ask critical questions.

I'm looking forward to Ken Dilanian admitting he was wrong when he said that Trump was completely exonerated.

But...but...Ken Dilanian, you already told us, Trump was completely exonerated. Maybe...maybe...you shouldn't have said that?
