It is interesting reading the inner dealings between the media and these agencies hired to push opposition dirt.

Emails show Simpson also pushed Tom Hamburger of the Washington Post to look into Millian in June 2016. Hamburger emailed Simpson in July 2016 that one of the outlet's Moscow sources called Page meeting Russians named Igor Sechin and Sergei Ivanov “bulls***” and “impossible.”

Nice to see some pushback based on source-checking, and authenticity per below.

He emailed Fritsch later that month to ask if there was “anything new Russkie/Donald wise.” Fritsch replied that Hosenball should “do the f***ing Alfa bank secret comms story." Hosenball said “my cyber expert colleagues cannot satisfy themselves about the authenticity of some of the key data, which they say from what they can tell is NOT public data.”
