Opinion | What the Steele Dossier Reveals About the FBI – The New York Times

This month s bombshell indictment of Igor Danchenko, the Russian national who is charged with lying to the F.B.I. and whose work turns out to have been the main source for Christopher Steele s notorious dossier, is being treated as a major embarrassment for much of the news media and, if the charges stick, that s exactly what it is.

Put media criticism aside for a bit. What this indictment further exposes is that James Comey s F.B.I. became a Bureau of Dirty Tricks, mitigated only by its own incompetence like a mash-up of Inspector Javert and Inspector Clouseau. Donald Trump s best move as president (about which I was dead wrong at the time) may have been to fire him.

It very weird living in a country where all of the media (and that includes Fox) is mostly a bunch of lies calculated to manipulate your opinion. Much, much of what is published is just attempts to manipulate one’s opinion. Here the NY Times is reversing field and having another go at manipulating our opinion. I have no idea what to do about this except believe nothing. They do say the bond market is the truth, but I don’t really understand the bond market these days.
