Apart from the fact that it reads like fourth-rate fiction and the FBI knew it was problematic before the election, you can't use an unverified paid campaign document to obtain spy authority on a presidential candidate. That shouldn't need explaining.

@mtaibbi Aren’t you missing the point entirely? It was claimed (in the tweet that @MaximumK75753 responded to) that everyone *at the time* knew it was fake begging the question why Clinton would pay for it.

That it was proven false does nothing to address the initial assertion.

The statement critiques the validity and verifiability of claims made in a document, suggesting they were neither substantiated nor written for verification. It engages in public discourse by addressing the integrity of political documents and their use in significant legal processes.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement questions the reliability of claims, which could be seen as promoting accountability, but it does so in a critical manner that might not fully align with promoting understanding or empathy.
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in personal attacks but critiques the content and presentation of the document, respecting the privacy and dignity of individuals involved. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism of the document's claims, focusing on their verifiability rather than attacking individuals. [+1]
