I agree. HRC probably does not micro-manage, so the poster should not fly off the handle so easily. We can look at it this way: HRC directs, knows some of it, but she's not going to study or question every tiny detail in the dossier. These things are always compartmentalized to some extent; it's a spooks' game.
Also, there is more than one source for the dossier stuff. Some of the Russian-linked material may be "helped along" by Russian intel, who are no doubt gleeful that they can cause chaos without lifting so much as a finger.
Then there is also laundered material from contractor NSA searches, the Nellie stuff, etc. The clearest indication of this may be accusing M Cohen of being in Eastern Europe, when it may have been a NSA search result that they didn't vet properly. But obviously Grenell is not going to spell out the whole story in a couple of tweets. Such tweets are for public visibility, push for visibility.
And so on. Poster should be more relaxed. Does he expect public talk by people to be perfect? Virtually impossible standards to follow. I expect messy and I try not to jump in rage on every little thing that may or may not be real.
