There were plenty of Woodwards and Bernsteins out here exposing this hoax in real time. Lee Smith wrote multiple books saying exactly what Tulsi Gabbard is saying now. I wrote a book too, about how citizen journalists uncovered the truth while the media ran cover for the lie. Many others contributed. Too many to name. Unlike those two self-glorifying stenographers who merely parroted what the FBI Deputy Director told them, the people who exposed Russiagate relied on publicly available information, meticulous research, and sheer persistence. One day, people might grasp the full weight of what happened here. Some are starting to. We’ve undergone a total paradigm shift. Ordinary citizens have become the real Woodwards and Bernsteins, while the originals have become regime mouthpieces. In Carl Bernstein’s case, that’s not just metaphor. It was Bernstein who legitimized the fraudulent Steele Dossier with his equally fraudulent January 10, 2017 story co-written with Jake Tapper.
