about that Hill story about Weiner being set up by a diabolical 15/16 year old girl. [View all]

It cites a posting an "investigative news site" called whowhatwhy.org, whose findings it passes with zero critical evaluation, let alone an attempt to contact anyone or verify a single fact.

Whowhatwhy.org is a leftwing version of infowars, with a more sober pretense of rationality.

The founder of the website (and author of the piece The Hill picked up) believes that Richard Nixon was the victim of the real Watergate conspiracy.

Let that sink in for a minute. Nixon as the real victim of Watergate. That's industrial strength cray-cray.

He describes Watergate "not as a ham-handed act of political espionage but as a carefully orchestrated farce designed to take down President Richard Nixon.[1]


Also, who effing cares about the mental state state of a teenage girl? Weiner broke the law, and wound up knee-capping Hillary in the process. He's the legal adult.
