@TheSCMayor @PeterCronau @GeorgePapa19 @AlexanderDowner @mtaibbi Taibbi have anyone on the record? Looks like unnamed sources. We'll see where it goes, but the most obvious explanation is that Coffee Boy's boasting that he was getting Putin to help Trump just added to the intel that Trump had concerning connections to Moscow.

@TheSCMayor @PeterCronau @GeorgePapa19 @AlexanderDowner I used to enjoy conspiracy theories but we've become slaves to them. Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the truth: Alexander heard something he thought his IC should know, passed it on & they gave it to their US counterparts. I think George just wanted to act like a big shot.

@RobertLusetich @PeterCronau @GeorgePapa19 @AlexanderDowner Dunno. He did get mixed up some how. Brennan is dirty, I have no doubt about that.

@TheSCMayor @PeterCronau @GeorgePapa19 Just so I have this straight: someone of the stature of @alexanderdowner was despatched by Her Majesty's Secret Service to a London wine bar to spy on a nobody/wannabe like "coffee boy" George?
