When This Blows Over

…With respect to the framing of Trump, however, the second-sight scam
required elaborate orchestration, the work of many hands. The key was
the double-tracking of the dossier. Hillary Clinton’s enablers
channeled it simultaneously into the press and into the government.
They then recruited people inside government to verify to the
outsiders that it was a serious document, a guide to the intelligence
that reporters were not allowed to see. Without this double-tracking
and official or quasi-official authentication, journalists would never
have believed that they were catching a glimpse of what Brennan and
the FBI saw in their crystal balls - pardon me, their top-secret
monitors.
And without leaks about investigations,
journalists would have had no dossier-related
news to report. Official statements that the
dossier “was being looked into” transformed it
into a legitimate topic for reputable news
outlets.
