Joel Pollack/Breitbart: Adam Schiff Appears to Have Outed Himself as the Washington Post's Source for Its First "Whistleblower"/Impeachment Narratives

An old trick -- leak to a friendly outlet, and then cite that friendly outlet's Disinterested and Objective Reportage as evidence of the claim you're making.

Which you, of course, leaked to them.

We saw a lot of this "circular reporting" with Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele, leaking to Yahoo and other outlets and then citing Yahoo and other outlets as objective third-party confirmation of their claims.

Schiff seems to have done this.

Lead House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) may have been an anonymous source for the Washington Post as it reported allegations that have led to the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

Schiff may have outed himself during his opening arguments in the Senate trial of the president on Wednesday, as he cited an opinion article written by the Post editorial board -- an odd reference in a presentation of factual evidence.

Pollack explains that Schiff probably leaked to the opinion section of the Post, rather than the reportorial section, because you don't have to fact-check opinions. Newspapers get very loose with the "facts" they present in opinion sections.

...

The Post editorial helped create an atmosphere of suspicion and anticipation that led to the complaint’s release and the impeachment itself. And on Wednesday, the Post editorial conveniently provided a "fact" -- reliably told” story -- that Schiff could cite in his case for Trump’s removal.

But Schiff did not explain why he would treat an opinion article as "fact." Editorials are not typically reliable sources of original reporting.

The most logical explanation is that Schiff considered the article "factual" because he himself was the source. He seems to have cited the Post in the same way the FBI in the “Crossfire Hurricane” case cited Yahoo! News to the FISA court without revealing Yahoo! was using the same source as the FBI.

And speaking of the Washington Post:

22 Maybe the Republican council will mention that. But this is supposition. It is probably good supposition, but the WaPo won't turn on Schiff if he was the source of the leak. Schiff is safe on this one.

So is Ciaramella. So is Vindman. So is Steele. So is McCabe. So is Comey. So is Brennan.

They're all perfectly safe.

Vindman was the source for the fake whistleblower, and the fake whistleblower's source was Vindman, which satisfied the idiot IC IG into qualifying the complaint as "credible" and "urgent."

The WaPo and NYT will remain forever protected. The LAT is probably in the same boat.

To borrow YD's expression, the "Triangle of Hate and Power" has its uses for them. The WaPo is Washington's leak laundromat, and the CIA's primary outlet. The NYT is the DNC's leak laundromat and the FBI's primary outlet. The LAT, to a lesser degree, handles west-coast functions.

No one trusts them. No one believes them. But those within the Triangle pretend to because it serves their purposes.

Dilbert guy smokes his own pole too much. I have never put any stock into what that guy has to say. It is all a lot of ex post facto back-patting.

Virtually the only thing we have seen is the dems' opening remarks and all the fawning by the usual suspects. It's received a giant collective meh, otherwise.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did.
But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

265 Well, okay, it would be more accurate to say that Kristol is making excuses for Bernie, not that he's actually volunteering on Bernie's campaign. That's probably too on the nose even for Kristol.

269 I have to note that the deep state and the dems have been quite successful (so far) though. They got Trump investigated and stonewalled for 2 and 1/2 years for something they did (spygate coup attempt) and they have got him impeached for their own corruption in Ukraine.

Next thing they try on him you will know they did. Will any of them ever face the music is the big question.

283 Scott Adams / Dilbert Guy is worth paying attention to because he's shown a good ability to think about things the way Trump does - for example, Trump has been saying for some time he wants to run a counter-prosecution. (McConnell is the one saying nope, wouldn't be Prudent)

He watches media which is why he thinks Schiff is looking good, BUT Adams doesn't have a feel for how many people have just tuned out and aren't even paying any attention to this anymore. I rate his views as good, but with big blind spots.

My meter has two pegs:
1) "No"
2) "One or two recognizable names go down to placate the masses"

The midpoint is "some low-level functionaries get fired, maybe a prosecution or two of people who don't matter much."

Right now, the needle is hovering between the low point and the midpoint.
