12. I'm wondering how Taibi's lies and distortions about Hillary

somehow went unnoticed for the better part of two years.

No one who looks for honesty in political writing should be surprised now at Taibi's swinging around like an apologist weather vane whenever something embarrassing to him or whose he supports turns up. Trump's Russia connections overblown?! Good grief. Of course, Taibi's part in the creation of Russiagate needs some major spinning and ass-covering, but not by claiming it's really not that big a deal.
