Thank you for the clarification and I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s piece. I was bothered by his content and also his smugness.

He sounds just like Nethery. Pretty pathetic

Oh no I think he’s doing this just out of pure animus, but I’m not a mind reader and only he knows for sure

It is difficult to find such well-written and thoroughly detailed information as I just read. What a privilege to be able to understand how malodorous the BS spewed out by Trump shill Eric Garland has become. Thank you very much.

As usual, EG gets it 180 degrees wrong. Now i am wondering if he is just stupid, drunk, being paid by someone to muddy the water or all three. Thanks LM for a very fine takedown and setting the record straight with facts and references. Looking forward to reading part two. Bravo.

Watching your hilarious vivisection of Twitter’s most unseemly ‘non-partisan’ cad brings me untold joy.

Looking forward to the next one. Please give no quarter to this enemy of truth, justice & the American way. Xxoo

PS… one has to wonder if Garbage isn’t courting a new paymaster such as RT?

Honestly I genuinely don’t believe he’s being paid or anything like that I think it’s just bad reporting

Prior to these gaffes (fully deserving of your well-articulated wrath, Louise) Garland had seemed to stay far away from the 'RT West' Fox dissinformation talking points stream-- SO his absurd slurping or Durham- a near Nunes-level comically incompetent hatchet man appointed by disBARRment- came as a big surprise, to me at least. Bought? I was equally surprised by another (unnamed) sometimes Guardian contributor and IC source/pundit who recently scoulded anyone who thought that Russia was the evil empire and that they bent the 2016 election for Trump (big "da" (or duh?) for each). I still like his cats, though....

I don’t know what his motives are but he does frequently mention me so I think he is rather enamored of Mr. Durham because he thinks Mr. Durham is coming after me. :)

It’s been quite rewarding watching you and other respected voices taking apart the latest Garland quest for attention. There is nothing more unsettling than his attacks on the FBI & Hillary & his misrepresentation of the Steel Dossier. And…if I remember correctly, even the FBI agents (in the reporting) had mused how completely stupid Carter Page was in spite of his ties to Russia. Garland is trying to cling to relevancy in a landscape that is changing quickly. He’s running out of material. Not once has he backed up his insanity with actual documentation from the case.

Thank you for this! However, in the right wing echo chamber, the damage is unfortunately already being done.

Your rapier pen is always a joy to me (even when I'm occassionally at the receiving end). The 'Merkin' (USA) phrase I believe is 'that girl don't play'.

Well I saw the word mysogyny fly through my head.

Probably shouldn’t have leaked classified info from the FBI, Louise. He’s going to get you and everyone is going to have a parade watching how much energy you, a malicious foreign operator, spent spinning and undermining the United States! Preemptively suing the IRS cause you can’t put your 2017 finances on the record are also a huge tell
