NYT's Mike S. Schmidt: the Judith Miller of our time.

Schmidt is now spreading nonsense about Rosenstein's alleged desire to quit, partially to avoid Trumpy's verbal abuse. This is his third, by my count, major mishandling of information in recent weeks. Sounds like someone else is slipping money into his pocket.

Miller helped start a war that killed thousands of Americans and many many more iraqi civilians. Schmidt may have set in motion a chain of events that could bring the country down. As an American I say that’s horrifying while an Iraqi who suffered through that war might say karma.

But if we’re analyzing it through the lens of American citizens, it’s much worse what Schmidt has done.

The latest tweet about Rosenstein being emotional, implying he is weak, beaten down and just wanting to resign.

This guy is a useful idiot. And I keep telling him that every chance I get on Twitter.

They are tearing him a new one on twitter. I hope the NYT is reading his thread and realizes just how much damage he is doing to their business. If he is not out by the end of the week, I will start to wonder.
