This “bombshell” is so disgusting — and so predictable as Republicans and conservatives fail to get serious about fighting the information war. When even the National Review went with this “news” item without waiting to see where it was coming from says volumes about the mindset of so many “conservative” publications.
The latest: Robert Mueller’s office shoots down BuzzFeed’s Cohen perjury report.

Even Salon had to remind its readers of his shoddy stories.
