After Rand Paul asked media to unmask alleged whistleblower,
Russian media did just that
Very quickly after Sen. Paul tweeted out an article that speculated in considerable detail about the iden y of the whistleblower—with a photograph, a name, and details about the purported political history of a CIA professional—Russian state media quickly followed suit.
As if on cue,
the Kremlin-controlled heavy hitters—TASS, RT, Rossiya-1—disseminated the same information.
But unlike Rand Paul, one of the Russian state media outlets didn’t seem to find
the source—Real Clear Investigations—to be particularly impressive,
and claimed falsely that the material was published originally by The Washington Post.
Wow. Thanks for that, Rand. Great to see you’re such a principled guy.
