Effectively, what they all are saying is that Harry Reid, President Obama, and those in Congress who have actually seen the data, are liars.
Taibbi is basing his argument on the bush administration pushing the WMD lie. Using that logic, I could say that since Rolling Stone massively screwed up the University of Virginia rape story, why should I trust anything that comes from that magazine?
Does Mr. Taibbi have evidence that the Russians were not involved in influencing our election, or is he just basing it on the WMD fiasco?
Effectively, Taibbi is taking the same position as Trump, that the FBI and CIA are wrong. Not surprisingly, both Trump and Taibbi have not even seen what the FBI and CIA have, they are just talking out of their ass. The same goes with Greenwald, and Jill Stein, similar bullshit arguments.
