I’ve seen two interesting things that relate to this. First, there is a story over at TPM about just how bad this ‘Hill’ writer’s history is as a plant for stories advancing the GOP’s narrative.

Second, there is a piece up over at The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) about some undeclared lobbying done on the behalf of Macedonia and illegally using a front group to do so. One important aspect of their influence campaign appeared to rely heavily on their ability to plant numerous stories in ‘The Hill’. All in support of a deposed, corrupt regime, of course.
Another story people should check out is the one at The Intercept about Kushner fishing for a half-billion dollar loan from Qatar. Which was finally turned down just days before Trump announced that we were siding with the Saudis to punish them. Nothing to do with Russia, just everyone else, and just how desperate Jared is to raise about $8 BILLION to save the family name and fortune. This is really, really bad.
