Threw cold water on David Corn's piece on dossier.

Edited to add link - https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/11/01/us/politics/fbi-russia-election-donald-trump.html

I've no doubt his reporting is less than stellar. I've been tweeting at him since to ask him to identify sources that told him no links when obviously FBI was investigating all sorts of links.

GOP used this piece as proof David Corn's piece was nothing - when in truth it was everything.
